That could be because of EAs distance clipping, it is recommended to use graphics mod by simp4sims with this mod to fix this issue (link is under the "Recommend Mods" section) ♥️

Thanks a lot for that. It is very cool!☺️ But I ran into a cloud bug. They disappear when the camera is rotated. Game version 116.240 DX 11 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A07d_EMa-V3rVtS41PZnxOUVEBCV6i1U/view?usp=drive_link

Just discovered this! Wow!!! Thank you, i love it

symplesims

Thank you, one of my must haves!

IDK

Thank you for the screenshot, probably happens because of the latest dx11 update, I'll look into it 💓

Max

Thank you for your work! But i've encountered a problem. In San Sequoia, if you look from Hopewell Hills towards the city, the buildings in the background turn purple at night. I even tested it with no other mods installed, but it still looks the same, so I don't think it conflicts with anything. Any ideas why this happens?

Working on a fix! thank you for letting me know!

Kyle_Broflovski

unfortunately the mod is causing a terrain texture glitch in Moonwood Mill, where there are ´´three squares ´´floating near the 40x30 lot :(

Teapressed

can you make a version that doesn't change the clouds? the override for the clouds i use doesn't work anymore when i use both mods 🙏

Highlightcw

Thank you, just a quick question.. This shouldn't affect k-hippie enhancement mods but rather increase the visuals?

IDK

I don't think this is something that was caused by the latest patch, I remember during the testing of the mod, when I was zooming too far in the same clipping issue would happen, the graphics mod by Simp4Sims fixes that issue 💙💙 So technically it is compatible I'd say, but you should you the graphics mod, it also happens in other worlds as well!

Sausage Collaboration

Hi! I wonder if the mod is compatible with the May 27 update. Dol Sol Valley seems to be affected. https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/background-from-the-pinnacles-disappears/12213780

Hi, this mod doesn't work with cloud replacement, is there any way to fix this?(

—

it actually works with no fade on everything!! you have to make an "overrides" folder in the mods folder then put the matte replacements file in that folder and it should work :)

Hi @Simsiboy, i really love your matte mod but there's a really big issue i'm facing. It seems to do this (shown in video) and I've done 50/50 and identified that it was indeed caused by matte replacement. Any idea on this ? I'm on latest version and using ultra settings (disabled post processing and edge smoothing), location is san myushino.

Please add a compatibility patch for No Fade On Everything(((

veeeeee

idk if you need it anymore but I tried the Override folder method mentioned by MizoreYukki (except I put this mod as prio over no fade) and both mods work for me now!

veeeeee

Do you have MizoreYukii No Fade Everything? I had the same issue and it's because the two mods override the same assets I think. If you do, using the Override folder method mentioned by MizoreYukii works!

Hello! For some reason the backdrops seem broken. They're super stretched, overlap in an ugly way and don't look the way they're supposed to. It's like their placement, mesh and XYZ scaling is completely off. I'm using map replacement mods that replace the map when you go into the world tab, as well as cosmetic changes to the loading screens, intro and main menu. That's about it, though. I've nothing else that should be interfering with the background. I installed both the matte tree replacements and the matte replacements mod. Pls help. I'd love to be able to use this! On the latest version with all DLC including Businesses & Hobbies. <3

OMG ...

cerulean_crayon

Hi! Does this conflict with any of khippie's overrides? This is such a brilliant concept!

Mamatillan

I love this mod so much. It's on my wishlist for backing when/if I get back to working and getting an income again. You're awesome, Simsiboy!

woohoowitchsims

Hi! Is there any chance to have this mod be in separate packages per world? I don't own some EPs and GPs that have worlds and it'd be nice to just pick and choose. I'm trying to minimize my Mods folder for performance but I just can't let this mod go. Thank you <3

fftamfan

Amazing! Thanks for quickly updating and fixing the issue. I tested again with the new update and can confirm there are no red lines anymore in Oasis Springs.

IDK

Thank you for the screenshots 🤍 I'll work on the issue ASAP! Expect an update in in a few hours or tomorrow!

fftamfan

Problem occurs in both build mode and live mode. Here is some screenshots: https://1drv.ms/f/c/4a1c877de92792d1/EmKt7pw3J2RMjAWPJ2dJXXABzYWT9ygw4hb-TgHXo2Xljw?e=xg6i8f

fftamfan

I only noticed it in oasis springs so far. Most neighborhoods are affected except Bedrock Strait.

IDK

The sunblind mod doesn't have to do anything with the red flashes 😁🤍 Is it only in oasis springs? And if so, in which neighborhood? 🤍

fftamfan

Thanks for updating the mod. Sadly I am encountering the red flash lines, specifically in Oasis Springs backdrop while play testing with only this mod installed. I do however use the sunblind lighting mod which edits the game's world map files.

Mika

I apologize for my poor English; it’s not my native language. I know that the mod conflicts with the No Fade On Everything mod by MizoreYukii. But is there any way to make them compatible? Thank you very much for your work.

Dreamview

Hi Matte! I really love your work ... without this replacements.. I simply cannot play. I was wondering if you can also recreate skies in TS4 to look more realistic?

Daniel Costa

Thank you so much!

IDK

Added a second link!

Daniel Costa

Hi! Can you please provide an alternate link to download Matte Replacement? Simfileshare has been too slow, it's giving me 3 days to download this one file

Josefine

thank you!

IDK

You're talking about the base game backdrop that's used in Willow Creek and other worlds? That was very possibly caused by a recent DX11 update (something about improving how items load in the background or something like that), it fixes it self after a few seconds. I unfortunately don't know how to fix that, I also saw a post on Twitter where the vanilla backdrop is floating so I'd say that's a DX11 update issue and not a mod issue I guess it is more visible with the mod because there are more polygons and mesh groups than the original backdrop.

Josefine

This is one of my must have mods! love it sm. But in some of my saves the backdrop is floating? any idea how to fix that?

lastimpulse

Awesome, thanks!

IDK

It doesn't ❤

ridż

tyyyy <3

lastimpulse

Absolutely love this, does it conflict with softerhaze's Sunblind?

David Willyam

Hi, I always use your mod with lighting settings on "Very High", but now I have the red flashing after the recent update. What can I do to fix it? Thanks

IDK

Red flashing is mostly occured from the Lighting Quality set to low!

Commodore

This mod is so good! But it's conflicting with Evergreen Harbor and having 1-3 large flashing red boxes appear near the backdrop of the map!

Adolfo H M

Since I don't like the mess that EA makes mixing 2D things with 3D, I don't know if there is a mod that replaces the houses mixed with the 2D trees or another that replaces all the 2D cardboard.

Adolfo H M

Hello, The mod is nice and feels much better with 3D trees, but I just want to suggest that it be expanded so that the "houses" with 2D "trees" are 3D and one question, how did you modify the mesh?

IDK

Aw that's so sweet! thank you for letting me know about this issue!

heidi (Team de luniversims.fr)

Thank you with all my heart. Later this week, I'll tell our subscribers about this fabulous mod, I'm behind on other projects, so I'll do it as soon as I can, thanks again!♥
