Mood
From TM Wiki
A mood is an environment which plays especially by the luminosity and lighting.
Impact on gameplay
The moods are introduced with TrackMania Sunrise. They make it possible above all to bring more diversity in environments of play. When changing the mood, the ambient light will be drastically changed. Thus the map will look very different.
In some moods, like night, it's only lights of the cars and the track which illuminate the circuit. After applying a mood, the entire environment shows up with a different colour.
It should be noted that the physics gameplay is not affected by a mood. On the other hand, the player can have more difficulty in distinguishing the track according to the mood. All that exploits only perception.
- TrackMania Original: All moods except Night

- TrackMania Nations ESWC: Day mood only

Here entire list of the current moods:

Folders, textures and mods
Moods are part of each environment, specific mood files are in the same directory as the environment files. When editing these files, a modder can change the whole feeling of the environment, limited to graphic changes only.
