I Dont Know What's Going On, But I Wanna Play All The Games At The Same Time. I Can't Focus On One.

I don’t know what's going on, but I wanna play all the games at the same time. I can't focus on one.

And why this game is so cute?

Thank you ☺️ I needed it.

I wanted these for a sim I am playing right now, so here they are! These are all frames from EA animations. In-game is all-in-one only, and the CAS romantic trait is actually 3 overrides merged since that trait has three possible animations it plays at random, so that file is a little bigger if that matters to you. You need Pose player for in-game poses.

Here is a video on how to change the CAS trait yourself if neither of these work for you. (Use the slob one to export from, if you do this.)

Editing Tips!

This isn’t quite a “How I edit my screenshots” tutorial, but it is some advice for those of you who like my editing style and want to try something similar yourselves. Go to my Resources page to find links to most of the brushes I use regularly. Although, it is recommended you have a graphics tablet, tbh. If you don’t have one, you can for sure still make pretty CAS edits, and these tips are adaptable, but I couldn’t tell you how to go about it, either. Take it as an opportunity to get creative and succeed over your current limitations :D 

1. Cleaning up the Screenshot. 

I use the Topaz Clean + Texture Smoothing actions from the Clean and Clear Set. This isn’t necessary, but I do this before I cut out the sim from the background using Select and Mask (here’s another tutorial that focuses on cutting sims out from backgrounds). 

After that is where the true clean up begins. Even though what is pictured up above is pretty smooth and clean, I’m still going to go around almost all of the edges and draw my own, usually keeping in mind where my light source is and how it’s hitting my sim (Google is your best bet on shadow and light; I would be crap at explaining it). 

Before:

After:

The basic concept here is making the folds and edges clear and smooth. You’re tracing over what’s already there (unless there’s clipping to fix; you’ll probably have to draw new stuff if you’re fixing clipping body parts or clothes… yay…)

2. Depth with Shadows + Highlights. 

I use a very dark, almost black navy blue as my shadow color. There are a lot of other ways to achieve a similar effect you can find through Sims 4 Edits on YouTube, but that’s what I do. And white is my highlight. 

You’re basically following where all the shadow and light is already laid out for you. I also use the select tool to select my entire sim. After that, I create a new layer (super important!), make the opacity of my airbrush about 50%, and then place down the shadows and highlights. Somewhere between shadow and highlights, I change the layer style to overlay. 

Before overlay:

After overlay:

And along the way, you use an airbrush smudge tool to keep things where you want them. I also tend to top the highlighting with a hardbrush, 100% opacity white like this:

3. Color Balance

I adjust the color balance in all of my edits. All of them. Even my gameplay shots, too. Some people do this through Curves, but I use Color Balance. It is a testament to my lack of pro knowledge that I honestly couldn’t give you any theory about how to correctly use Color Balance…. I just mess with it until it looks good. 

Before: 

After:

As you can see, I used Exposure, too. I adjust it very slightly because usually, with all the highlights and shadows I’ve already given this piece, anymore through exposure would ruin the look. Sometimes I mess with Vibrance, too. 

4. Gaussian Blur 

I am a little addicted to the soft, dreamy sunlight aesthetic. Not only does it cover up some of the flaws I was either too lazy or otherwise lacking in talent to properly correct, but it can give an edit that final flare it needed to really feel finished for me. If that makes sense? 

Anyway, I tend to do this before color balance and all the other adjustments, but that’s mainly just a preference thing. First, we’re going to make a new layer that merges all the previous layers without actually merging them. (I’ll be using a different edit as an example here).

Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E

If you did it right, the new layer will pop up above all the layers below it that it merged together. 

Then, you go up top, go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and decide how much blur you want to start with. From there, with your blurry top layer, make the eraser an airbrush, turn the opacity to 20-30%, and start erasing away the parts of the pic you want to gradually become clearer.

Before:

After:

And that’s the gist of it!

If you’re anxious about your Sims edits or even just your art in general, know that I eventually when from this to that in the span of like 4 years.

So if you’re not good now, that’s not to say you can’t eventually be better in the future so long as you continue to make the effort and practice with purpose. 

Hopefully, this was helpful to someone :O 

I really love this game. Story is amazing! 

I played on PS4 and now I want to try PC, becase there is a mod where you can fly for the bird and it’s magical ✨

Run, lil John, run! 😩

Today’s mood.
