It's apparently like the Sims, but with all the sim stuff cut out, just focusing on interior design. Idk how in depth you can get with scene lighting, but using it for base lighting then throwing gradient maps and adding/erasing some overlays will do you well enough. I haven't used it yet, but am planning to once I start doing more interior home/apartment shots
The thing I'm learning with VN background art is that people won't be looking at it for very long, or won't be looking at it too in depth unless you have a hidden object element.
Lighting doesn't need to be perfect OP, it just needs to set the scene. Throw some simple overlays for time of day and your players will get the gist. This is a couple I did recently. Top 2 are my first attempts at anything interior, then I just sorta learned as I went.
