Hi! To start, I've already sent this question privately to "@LUCPIX", but just in case anyone else knows how to access the game's settings to change things, I'm posting it here as well. Or if you know of any mods for this.

There's always been something that bothers me a little. It's not a big deal, but if it were possible to remove it or modify it., I'd love to.

When you click on the TheSims1 player, the head appears, and right in front of it is a black circular shadow. This shadow moves behind the head when you select an interaction, but if you don't select anything, the shadow is always in front of the face.

My question is: Could you make that shadow always be behind the head and not in front, or simply remove it?

(I assume you know what I mean, but I'll show you a screenshot. If you look at the first screenshot, the face has a gray shadow, which darkens it, and when you select an option, the face lights up, which is really just the shadow moving into the background.)



Greetings!

I'm not sure this is a thing that can be done without changes to the engine somehow (especially since in the original retail release it's CLEARLY not the shadow moving behind--the shadow is much more pronounced on retail and is clearly more of a desaturation circle and if it were simply in front of the head, the head would probably be *greyscale* (due to being at the center of the circle) rather than simply darkened). I'm making an assumption how this is actually working is that the head being light or dark is an indicator for "selected" and is separate from the darkening circle.

I've placed Ginia Kat in the shadow behind her own head to explain what I mean. (The Sim's skin is full greyscale as opposed to the head.)
