BETTER WORLDS DISCOVERIES CONFIRMED
🕑 Added 2020-05-10 23:47:57 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
I might have mentioned earlier that I made some discoveries in the game's files that could improve my Better Worlds Mod.
Well... today I can confirm I finally found a way to edit those files to bring 4K RESOLUTION to my maps, and more accurate lots.
If you have downloaded the maps from my Better Worlds Mod, you might have noticed that they can seem "blurry" sometimes. That was because of the game limitations, a map has a resolution always around 720p, not more. So I came up with the idea of breaking the game's limitations and bring 4K for the ease of your eyes, and after a lot of time, I succeeded.
Plus, I found a way to change the arrangement and clickable area of the lots on the maps, in order to make them look more like the original 3D world.
That means :
- it could take me some more time to create new maps (because it's not the same type of code, and lot position is way harder to change)
- the lots could look smaller on some maps.
!!! Now, it's up to you !!!
Tell me, would you like to get 4K resolution maps, or are you ok with the ones I'm already providing ?
Would you like me to change the lots' sizes and positions ? That would mean more accurate maps, but it would take me longer to create.
Tell me what you think and want in the comments down below !
NB : don't mind the very small lot in the middle on this picture, I'm experimenting something ;)
Lots of Love,
Arnie

I'd love to have 4k maps! I have a high res monitor so the maps look a bit blurry on them
If you're having fun with the challenges of making accurate 4k maps, I'm all in. I can wait while playing your already given ones. :D Thank you!
Я очень хочу 4к!

I am still so confused how did EA the Sims team did not do this in the first place! Especially since it's possible! It is sad that such work is on your shoulders, but if you yourself are having fun, and you want this in your game, then I think we can definitely be patient if needed. I am grateful that you want to share your creations and discoveries with us. I think this would improve immersion extremely well, and I'd say go for it!

I'm so conflicted! I hate waiting, but at the same time I love the new idea! You are the Master, so go with your heart. Hugs!

This looks stunning Arnie!! I can imagine the limitations in the system itself must be frustrating, so hopefully it's bearable and doable without too much hassle on your end! So excited that you've started playing with the 4k!! ❤️

YES! Please make more larger lots and if you can make more smaller lots near each other like an actual neighborhood. OMG!

4k would be great! like your current sulani map is GORGEOUS! but looking at it on a big screen up close... and you see all the image artifacts and pixels 💔😢 we can wait for more quality, i mean we all have been surviving waiting for ea’s overpriced content, we are trained for this
4K maps! I would rather be patient for high-quality even if it means waiting more! Is there a way we can eventually see an example of what that would look like compared to the maps now?
4k maps, maybe will be the best
