Gameplay is very dark

BOHtox

Anyone know why this is? it's not that my house is dark because I don't have windows and my computer screen is relatively new so it can't be that. anybody know why the gameplay would be dark?

Only reason I can think is Gameplay Settings may be too dark. Or contrast setting on screen (but that would affect you generally rather than just in-game).

Is it only when you go into a family's home or is it throughout the game?

Family's home. But every second or third piece of wall is a window. When I'm in the town it's quite bright

I think I know where you're coming from. Whenever I'm playing the game seems normal, but when I bring up the Steam overlay it's bright as heck, so either the game is compensating for the darkness, or my monitor is...

Wish I knew why though

Aye that's one thing I've noticed in Sims 3, its very sensitive to light. Just get enough windows, and failing that, some more lights in the room (maybe a coffee table lamp or something!).

Wallpaper also can change how you perceive the light in the room. Try something brighter if you have a darker wallpaper up

I put a load of lights in the room and that seemed to help. Also I took on board the wallpaper and changed that and the floor. I think simply, windows don't let in enough light. Cheers lads.

Glad it all worked...To save money, just remove the ceiling*
