Allow True Specular Probes

This option is enabled by default, and disabling it has some changes to lighting.

Oddities#

Going Over The Weight Limit#

Unlike the PC version, there is only 1 way to go over the weight limit in the game, that the game allows you to in the Create A Sim. As a result of doing this action multiple times, your sim will be extremely obese and will look weird.
