Mini Tutorial

MAKING A FACE OVERLAY

Pt. 5 FINISHED: Photoshop & S4S

We’ve drawn our skin! We’re almost finished. Export your file as a .psd, if you haven’t drawn your skin in photoshop. If you have, skip this step.

Once opened, organize your skin. Keep the original unmerged. Make a duplicate and merge it. Hide EA’s base.

Hide the original files, as well. We only need those as a back-up!

You can smooth your skin, using my smoothing tutorial. Mine looks smooth enough, so I’ll skip this step. Sharpen if desired.

Select pixels. Select > Refine > Feather.

Select > Inverse > Delete

This softens the edges so that our skin doesn’t have any harsh transition lines when we layer it over other things. 

Add a black & white filter, and save as .png.

Open S4S. CAS > Create CAS Standalone.

Navigate to Part Type > Skin Details Forehead. Select the clone. Hit next and name your file.

Import your .png where it says DIFFUSE.

Go to the WAREHOUSE tab. Search, ‘Sort’. Change the sort layer to 2000. This makes our skin layer underneath all other skin details.

*Because, we’ve cloned from the forehead, our skin is already an overlay. If you didn’t clone from the forehead, in the warehouse tab, you’d search comp, and change the composition method to 3.*

Switch back to the studio tab, and then navigate to the texture tab. Change tags as desired.

I’ve made my skin all ages / frames, all occults, and all outfit categories. Save. 

Test in game!

Looks good ! But, full disclosure, I was prepared for it to look ugly. The thing is, sometimes, first drafts look super ugly, and that’s okay! If that happens, keep drawing and touching up until you like it.

My sim isn’t wearing any makeup, but they are wearing a wip default alpha skin-tone, which gives them a made-up look.

Go back to your package and add a thumbnail. Share your new skin, and feel free to tag me so that I can gush.

Let me tell you about the HAT SLIDER!

This thing is awesome! All my accessory bangs have been updated to be compatible with it so if you had them, delete them and redownload them you can still use them without this but why miss the opportunity. This changes the game, now the bangs can work with virtually any hairstyle!

And if you want to make other things compatible with it (namely hats, flower crowns, hair accessories, etc) there’s a tutorial on the link. It’s surprisingly easy!

The only issue I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t work with the height slider because they use the same slider I think.

Hi! I've been having an issue with default skins where they are only working for average body types. In cas the texture is on every body type, but in game it only works on moderately skinny sims. Do you know why that is happening or how to fix it?

Hi there! I never had this happen, so I am not much of a help but maybe someone else knows. 🤷‍♀️

Hi! I have a hair making question. How do you push the hair back without it looking... weird. Thanks for any help!

the best way imo is using proportional editing in edit mode to push it back, here’s a quick demonstration video to show you an example of how to do that!

Sims4: Mouse sensitivity issues after Windows 10 update

Anyone else having problems with too high mouse sensitivity in the game? 

I didn’t change anything about the game but 2 days ago windows forced the windows 10 update (1903) on me. 

Since then the mouse is so damn fast that the game is unplayable (camera goes crazy in tab mode, same for sim rotation and sim sculpting in CAS). In addition, it feels as if the mouse goes into the wrong direction sometimes. When I rotate the sim to the left, he sometimes moves to the right first. It worked perfectly fine before the update and the sensitivity did not change outside the game…

Update: LINK

Removing reshade does help, but honestly that’s not really an option.

In the end, disabling the origin in-game overlay fixed the issue as well.

Hello! I was wondering if you know of any cheek contours that give a very full round look, like Mariah Carey's cheeks or Lizzo's. I already have heihu's cheek overlay but I can't find any that look like what I want. Thanks!

beta testing!

It always bothered me how most recolor actions don’t actually match the maxis colors (either too dark, too bright, or just very off in colors) so I decided to make one myself, but they’re not actions - they’re gradient presets.

how to use?

  1. first, put the texture of your choice, it doesn’t matter what color tbh, as long as it’s light.
  2. go to the layers tab and click on the adjustments/ fill button and then click “gradient map..”
  3. next, remove the layer mask (the white thumbnail) of the gradient map layer
  4. click on the gradient map and check “reverse” and then choose the one you want!

how to test?

Please just DM me! I’ll send the link through there! :>
