PUT A LID ON IT! CEILING REPLACER
🕑 Added 2021-01-21 22:28:41 +0000 UTCBored of stark white ceilings but want to replace them with something that will go well in every type of build? This might be just the thing for you.
This ceiling replacer uses base game concrete to add a hint of texture while making ceilings slightly less obnoxiously bright.
This will replace ALL the ceilings in your game.
There are several packages, YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE AT A TIME.

- amoebae_CeilingReplacer_LightConcrete01 = This is the one in the main screenshots. I recommend this if you use ReShade (but it's up to you)
- amoebae_CeilingReplacer_LightConcrete01_Lighter = A tiny smidge lighter than the one above, in case it's too dark for you
- amoebae_CeilingReplacer_LightConcrete01_Lightest = A smidge lighter again. These last two versions may be better for you if you don't use ReShade
- NEW! (2021-09-01) amoebae_CeilingReplacer_WarmConcrete_01 = This is the same as the first file in the list, but with a warmer tone. I realised the others were a little too cool for my tastes.
- NEW! (2021-09-15) amoebae_CeilingReplacer_WarmConcrete_02 and amoebae_CeilingReplacer_WarmConcrete_03 = These are the same as WarmConcrete_01, but gradually darker. I had to reduce the contrast on the darker tones because otherwise the tiling of the repeating pattern was too noticeable.
- NEW! (2021-09-15) amoebae_CeilingReplacer_DarkConcrete_01 and amoebae_CeilingReplacer_DarkConcrete_02 = These are a much darker neutral and much darker warmer version of the above. Again, I had to reduce the contrast on these darker tones.
- NEW! (2023-07-22) I've created a floor and ceiling version of this that you can apply directly in-game now we have the new paint ceiling option. You can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/put-lid-on-it-86499990

Just pop your chosen package file in your Mods folder, make sure you have Mods and Custom Content enabled in the game menu, and don't forget to look up!
You can swap between these packages whenever you like, but please remember to remove the old one first, because as a replacer multiple types will conflict with one another.

- The main screenshots (with 'ReShade On/Off' comparisons) use amoebae_CeilingReplacer_LightConcrete01
- The screenshots with the darkest ceiling use amoebae_CeilingReplacer_DarkConcrete_01
- My current favourite is amoebae_CeilingReplacer_WarmConcrete_01!

NOTE: I have noticed some odd joins on some ceilings where there is a wall above. It may be that this was always a thing but with the game's default plain white ceiling texture it wasn't noticeable. The texture I've used is seamless, so the problem must lie with how Maxis has chosen to tile it below rooms. To my knowledge there is nothing I can do about this, but the problem seems to be minimal and where it does occur it seems to only be viewable from one direction (which is weird).

With thanks to Remus Sims for finding the correct Maxis texture for ceilings. You can find their replacement ceilings here.
