Or actually think and take night effect from thunderstorm and remove the rain.
Almost no work
Just turning the map dark blue would look strange, I think. Then you would have night but also a dead city.
What we need is a yellow overlay on some of the windows (that has to look random) and on the streets. I don't think that every building needs to be reworked, though. Who cares if the small 1x1 Residentials etc. are lit? Only the major (mid- to high-rise) buildings (res, com and ind) would need some work.
True, but it's better than nothing. Right?
I wouldn't mind it
Well, that depends on how it looks, doesn't it? If it looks as dead as I think it would, then none of us would really be quite happy with it.
Really, I think the yellow overlays on some selected buildings and on the streets would be the way to go. And it would not be much different to the snow-textures as far as workload and texture-space are concerned.
By the way, the rain-mode would also benefit from it, because people tend to switch on their lights when its rainy-dark outside
Edit:
Well, in some way I do agree with you, at least as an interim solution a rain-mode without rain could probably do, but the goal should be to make a real night-mode.
