So Helpful thanks alot!

I've been using Eyecandy for years and always noticed how it resets the time to 7am or so after a certain about of time goes by even if the time is paused. I've wondered about it but just kind of lived with it. Is there any plan to fix this or am I doing it wrong?

There's no shortcut? I lost the icon when I try to put it on UUI and now I can't make it work anymore.

@dbelljr06 you should consider Eyecandy X mod by Nyoko, works well
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980339529

Still prefer this over Render It. Just easier to achieve the desired look

When I set the time -for example 9am- and stop it every few minutes is goes back to 6-7AM. How can I stop this?

This does not show up in my mods lists even though im subscribed to it.

@Aumthara switch to Eyecandy X

i can not change time of day

This mod now causes flickering between day and night.

If you're looking for a direct successor. Use Eyecandy X: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2980339529

There are other alternatives though such as Play It!

Avoid rendering it if you don't like it

@Highway1027 I told you to move to Render it! + Play it!

Partially working, time of day and simulation speed stopped working suddenly. Time of day slider is dark blue.

partially working. I can not control the time of day or speed of day/night cycle. Was working fine for me yesterday and I didn't add any new mods

@Marzsala if I remember correctly the hotkey is Shift + U and the button looks like a thunderstorm cloud, I think it was near bottom right

whats the button to open the menu?

While seemingly abandoned, this still works perfectly fine for me, for now.

RenderIt is a newer alternative.


@D2 @Patient just fyi, I'm not getting any error regarding this mod, so maybe its a conflict with some other popular mod?

I just started using visual mods lately. I found a video with a visual mod collections and a list of settings to set. It looks 10x better for sure.

It'd be nice for ultimate eyecandy to be fixed up for even more realistic visuals.

I see there is a GitHub for this mod, so a modder or group of modders may be able to get it going again.

This is the video I found:

Maybe one day.

Seriously. Render It! is too fucking complicated. I had such a beautiful LUT that was ruined by the update.

This is still the best for grahpic mods. I tried render it! but the game looks ugly and complicated to use.
Ulitmate eyecandy + post process fx + relight + ULOD are still the best graphics mod combinations.

Why would anyone use this outdated mod anyway? Every function that it has can be achieved with Theme Mixer and Render it!

"sucks" and "ugly" aren't the words I'd use; Render It has tons of useful settings.
Before the update I was using Render It and Ultimate Eyecandy (and Theme Mixer 2) side by side.
But I do feel Ultimate Eyecandy gave the best control over ambient lighting. So I will miss that.

Yeah. Update broke the mod and now you get a critical error whenever you load in. I stopped playing until it is fixed. The "alternative" Render It! sucks and is ugly.

@D2 I havent played since the update, did the update finally break this mod?
Fairly certain the author is never returning so somebody else would have to pick this up / make a fork.

hopefully we get a temp fix version

i totally agree, i just find that Render it! is a complete downgrade from this mod, especially the UI in that mod, don't...like it...

I still prefer to use this than the Render It! mod

it should be updated now

This is such a great mod, unfortunately it is no longer being updated. But this mod contains many options that you otherwise only have together with different mods.
I hope there is someone who can and wants to breathe new life into this mod.

It's a great mod, but it brakes my sun;(. Like it's evening and sudently it's in the middle of the night<3

This causes errors use play it instead.

So I am having issues where I turn the fog down and within 5 minutes fog rolls back in. I am on the seven lakes map. Any suggestions? The slider/bar does not adjust but it just goes back to being beyond foggy. A simple move in any direction brings it to the value it should be on.

I have the same problem of LUT resetting after clicking on public transportation panel. Trying to turn off "Automatic Color Correction Override" option in Render it! mod settings may help.

@Paitient Ember ty for the update

@waso99 read lol

Hi developer,
I like this mod but why every time i should load preset again?

Yes if you have Render It, read the description / comments for that mod; you need to make and save a profile in Render It that has your LUT selected otherwise Render It will turn off your LUT.

There's some guides for Render It and Play It that you can check out:

I'm thinking I might finally sit down today and try and reproduce Relight and Ultimate Eyecandy setting's in Render It and Play It so I can finally ditch ultimate eyecandy and relight (and subscribe to play it).
I've been avoiding doing this until now because I never like the exposure setting in Theme Mixer 2.

@Mooose, this is the new behavior from a RenderIt update.

@Mooose - yep same issue

@Moose, yes, I'm having the same issue, keep having to go back into game options and reset!

Anyone's LUTs resetting/turning off after selecting anything?

@Mr. Anderson I would take a look at these
- camera mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778750497
- LOD (level of detail) mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1680642819

However, when you talk about blurriness, you mean the textures on things right? (cims, buildings, vehicles)

If that's what you mean, no camera mod can fix that. And that other mod I linked, ULOD, basically just improves the textures on things in the medium distance (and far distance if you like reeallyy crank it up). It won't help close ups.

The only way to get really sharp textures on things when you are zoomed in closely, is 1) have a graphics card with a good amount of vram and a decent cpu with a good amount of dram and, the time consuming step 2) just start downloading 1 of every asset (school, police department, airplane, car, ship, bus, tree, dog, residential house 1x1 lvl1, 1x1 lvl 2, see where I'm going lol?) you like on the Workshop that has sharp textures, and then only use Workshop assets in your city (which in the case of many thing like vehicles, cims, growable buildings {basically anything you don't actually place yourself} you will then need to download more mods that let you switch out vanilla assets with workshop assets) (Ploppable RICO Revisited, Vehicle Selector 1.4, BOB the Tree and Prop Replacer, RON the network replacer {and or Railway Replacer} Network Skins).

And then you'll probably want Find It! 2 mod just to find all your sh*t lol
*Patient Ember goes into fetal position*
It's a rabbit hole.

Quick question, does anyone knows a good camera mod in which you can zoom in very closely without everything getting blurry??

For me, after uninstalling the "Play It" mod, it works fine. Enabling and disabling the daytime speed option in the options menu, and from there in game play with the settings. Really like how you can right click and hold on the left hand button below to easily change the daytime without opening the menu.

everytime i've started a new map or i've load a game Ultimate Eyecandy (v1.5.2) settings are resettet an i can set all new. i think it's still not working correctly.....
