Sim dump........5?? 4??? idk, anyways here they are lol

I've been experimenting with presets and stuff recently and trying to figure out how maxis vs. how alpha I wanna get in my game and this is what came out of it sooo yeah. I think I would've liked them a LITTLE bit more on the alpha side, I'm always maxis-mix but something about them feels...off...anywho, the downloads are below :)

Days of Summer - an EA dress, retextured

I’ve been very very extremely slowly teaching myself how to make Custom Content. As part of my practice, I thought it’d be fun to retexture some EA meshes and try and make them usable in my game, especially as I’ve shown zero aptitude for anything mesh related. 

This dress began life as the Basegame Day of the Dead dress, which had the right idea but was a series of choices. I’m really pleased how this has turned out - I can actually see myself using this? And perhaps you will too!

She comes in two flavours:

S T A N D A L O N E   |   Dropbox

O V E R R I D E    |   Dropbox

Below the cut is a preview of all the swatches. I’ve never put anything like this up for download so please be gentle!

There’s a white swatch in there too so you can see my messiness up close and personal. 

Any problems, just hit me up ^^

Like an absolute madwoman I’ve decided to put my Sages up for download. @mairenah asked so sweetly and I’ve got literally no plans so I may as well kill some time finding cc links ^^ A New Year’s gift, what can I say. 

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

I was super lazy with the rest of the outfits but I didn’t want to add any more cc to what is a massive list already. If you’re looking for outfit inspo, my blog is pretty much just me demonstrating a particular skill set honed from years of online paper doll dressing. Yeah I was on stardoll for 14 years and wHAT of it?

BOOKS! OF LOOKS!   |   SPECIFICALLY ONE WITH MORGYN

However, I am really only good at crafting a lerk from the front. The Sages aren’t especially gameplay friendly - Morgyn’s whole arse is clipping out of their coat. Please be mindful too - if you want them to act as Sages in your game, you’ll need to know some mod wizardry because as soon as you add in-game Sages to your households, new ones generate. 

I have zero tou (lol) so do whatever you want with these babes. They’re basically as EA made them anyway, just with some minor tweaks and lashings of cc.  If you do use them as I’ve styled them, I’d love to see so feel free to tag me ^^

It’s my birthday! And seeing as my makeover of Salim Benali got waaay more popular than I was expecting, I’ve decided to put him up for download ^^ Don’t mind the preview pic....I don’t know what I’m doing

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

I really only tweaked his ea base then slathered him in cc, so the most exciting part of this is the cc list which included with his trayfiles below. 

Do what you like with him, I don’t mind - though if you use him as-is, tag me so I can see!!

You can see his full roster of looks here if you want to sample the wine first ^^

I’m still trying to work out what I want download posts to look like....this’ll do for now. 

Here’s Sara and Simon Scott as promised. They are too cute for their own good. I hope this is what you were after anon, whoever you are!

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

I’ve included a preview (without my action applied) above including all their outfits, but you can see them looking a bit more dynamic here and here. 

Do whatever you like with them, they’re basically their ea selves slathered in cc. You’ll find a list of cc included with their trayfiles. 

If you do use them, tag me so I can see - I’d love to know what they get up to in your game ^^

You ask and I shall deliver, very, very slowly.

From me to you, my tray files and cc lists for the Landgraabs are now available to download. They've all had a slight update - I went through an orange blusher phase when I was doing them up the first time and that needed to be remedied.

I was also listening to Game of Thrones while I was putting this together, hence why I got a bit enthusiastic with the heraldry nonsense (and Lannister Lions)

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

As before, Nancy, Malc and Geoff all have outfit previews of what I've set them up with. Geoff and Malc are both expensively and inoffensively neutral. Nance even has her own lookbook because I love her.

Of course, if you don't download something I've used, it won't show up, but you can replace it with something else instead - same for where I've used expansions you don't have etc. All links and full credit is in the cc list.

Enjoy them, dress them up, give them plastic surgery, cry 'but I can make him better!!' into your pillow over Malcolm. If you use them, there's no need to credit, but I'd like to see what you do with them so don't be shy to tag me ;) Just don't straight up steal this post because I have silly little fragile feelings

Most creators whose work has been used are tagged under the cut so go give them love for the wonderful things they make - I'm just a glorified stylist :)

You know, when I make outfits for lookbooks, I don’t assign them to outfit types. I just keep adding them to everyday until I run out of slots then move on. Makes for excellent fun when I come to put sims up for download and I actually have to do a proper job.....

Anyway, here’s Morgyn for download, as promised. With small deviations from the lookbook I just posted to make them a little more occasion appropriate. I know I said I was going to wait for my birthday to put up a download but I set a rule for myself then immediately ignore it.

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

A full cc list is included with the tray files crediting all fabulous creators. I am in awe of your skills. Don’t feel you have to download all the cc, but bear in mind Morgyn may look a little different if you don’t. 

If you spot a problem let me know - I literally only go into CAS, so play-tested this is not :) 

As always, enjoy them, send them strutting down the runway, curse them for eternity or sell your soul to them, whatever you like. You don’t have to credit me for using them because I did almost nothing really, but I’d love to see what you do so don’t be shy to tag me! Just don’t steal this whole post because that preview image took me longer than I care to admit and I’m baby. Thirty year old baby. 

Even if you don’t fancy downloading my rendition of Morgyn, do download the cc list then go and lavish praise on the cc creators. They’re the MVPs here obvs

It’s my birthday! So it’s time for a download! This time it’s the BFFs, all of whom have had their own lookbook at some point. You can see Travis, Liberty and Summer’s individual posts by following the links :) 

They all have some new outfits that weren’t included before, so as always, you can see a little rundown of each look - I’ll leave it up to you to figure out which is which lol.

Also, a sincere apology to the anon who requested I put Summer up for download 5 months ago. Better late than never!

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

As well as their tray files, there is a full cc list that credits each cc creator. You don’t have to download everything, but the gallery will shout at you about missing items if you don’t :)

I made these with CAS in mind, so if you take them into game they may become borked in fun and unusual ways. 

Do whatever you like with them and their weird little love triangle. You don’t have to credit me for using them because I am but a humble hoarder of cc. I’d love to see what you do so don’t be shy to tag me! Just don’t nick this whole post because I’m the birthday girl

All credit to the excellent artists out there who make custom content for us to enjoy. I never know whether tagging them in this kind of post is courteous or looks like a cry for attention so, go look at the cc lists, get inspired, then go interact with all of these creators posts as they deserve...

Yes, I’ve made this joke before. No, I’m not sorry. If EA can call everyone best friends, I can suggest that they’re all in love.

A couple of people asked for Becca waaay back and I said ‘well I have to do Julia first, then I’ll release them’ and then I completely didn’t do that.

Well here they are for your enjoyment, slightly amended from their respective lookbooks.

As well as their tray files, there is a full cc list that credits each cc creator. While it’s not necessary to download everything on the list, I encourage you to do so because cc hoarding and slowing down your game to a crawl is fun.

As always, I can’t remember the last time I actually ‘played’ ‘the sims’ so they might look great in CAS but be completely borked in game. Just...bear in mind.

You can use them however you like without credit to me, because I did chaff all, but I would like to see what you do with them if you use them as-is!

What you should do is visit the fabulous cc creators that make this game worth playing. I never know whether tagging them in this kind of post is courteous or looks like a cry for attention so, go look at the cc lists, get inspired, then go interact with these creators posts as they deserve…

I’d gladly let Rory kick the absolute crap out of me. and now she can kick the crap outta you too because it’s a download post! [several, several, months late].

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

Rory comes set with an outfit for each category (two for everyday wow) and in two flavours - you can have her as a werewolf or not depending on your tastes. Please also be a-were (ha ha) that I like my werewolves horrible and naked, so....that’s what you’ve got.

You’ll have to follow the links in the cc list to download everything, so go and engage with all these fabulous creators, like their posts, blow up their notifications. I am but a humble stylist.

Rory does come with a single recolour swatch of @simandy’s gorgeous seong-jin hair, so that you can have her terrible dyejob across *all* hairdos. You’ll need the mesh for it to show up though.

As with all my sims, Rory is 100% a creature of CAS and is therefore not play-tested so (:

Do what you like with her, carelessly give her your heart only for her to break it, start a murderous girl gang, terrorize the locals. No need to credit. If you do use her though, let me know because I’d love to see!!

Oh my god have I made a download post???? One that was asked for?? Sheesh, get me. it only took the entire day to put together don't worry about it

It's the Behr sisters, who are equal measure cute and intimidating.

DOWNLOAD | DROPBOX

Their looks are cobbled together from their respective lookbooks, because I never assign outfits properly and make like 10 everyday looks. Sorry if you really wanted their looks exactly as they were - links are in each lookbook if you want to recreate them yourself.

Yuki got a special second casual look because I couldn't choose just one for her. I promise she has a swim outfit, I just didn't put it here(?)

Included with their tray files are links to all the cc you'll need to download if you want them to look like they do here. Be warned, I have a kajillion sliders and a skin detail hoarding problem. Also, I'm trying something new with the cc list - feedback v much appreciated!!

Final warning! I only play the sims like they're paperdolls so I've no idea if they break in game - good luck out there!

If you do download them, please feel free to use them as you want without credit :) I'm just a stylist - but I am nosy so tag me so I can see what you do!!!! Perhaps Candy will take up knitting? Maybe Yuki will cover up a grisly murder? You decide!

I'm temporarily lifting my head out from behind the depression bunker to ask...

...Would anyone be interested in a dirty blonde gradient map for photoshop?

I'm not an expert at anything cc related, but I do have nothing but rage for ea's inconsistent dirty blonde swatches and have been slowly recolouring them all.

I made this gradient map so that I could faff about with curves, levels and contrast, then reapply the dirty blonde colour over the top and I think it works pretty well! It also works on a greyscale swatch.

This might already exist or not be useful at all, I dunno, but I thought I'd at least share :)

COLOR TUTORIAL #1

Color Porn Lydia.

Another tutorial, this time with a lot of contrasting and color, featuring a Crying Banshee. This will be part one of a two or three part theme I’m trying to establish. Mostly working with color porn and contrasting. 

I am using Photoshop CS5, and this is not a beginner tutorial, but it isn’t too hard either.

I will be showing you how to turn this:

into this:

First start with a duplication of the background layer, then resize and crop how you want. My cap is 500x280. Next add a black and white gradient map and set the blend mode to soft light. Duplicate the layer and set the opacity to 45%. Now some lighting. Levels, curves and levels again; these are the settings I used.

Then a gradient map, 

black, #000000; pink, #f10055. Set it to darken and make a layer mask to color the background. The mask will end up looking like this.

After that layer you want to hold CTRL and click into the black and white box for the curves layer, so that it selects only the parts of the face you highlighted with curves. Then make a levels adjustment. 

Next you want to make a new layer, empty and select a small round brush, soft. Then a nice pink color, close to the color that you used for the background, so we can color the lips. I used this color #e40559. Then change the blend mode to multiply and change the opacity to 34%.

This screenshot has a lot of tight subtle emotion and fear, and I did want to focus on that, so I made another curves layer; output 140, input 114 and then mask it so the layer is hidden. Use a white brush to paint over the tear and some on her eyelids. Erase and blend as needed. Here is my finished mask.

Then another curves for her eyes. This one should be output, 106; input, 135. Then mask and use a soft round brush again. This was my end mask.

This is where the cap should be right now.

More curves. This time we mask it for the irises; the first curves should be output, 142; input, 100. 

That’s the eyes right now. Next I added a simple selective color, just focusing on black (+5). 

Take a soft brush, black; and make a new layer. Color only the left side of the cap, like so:

Gradient fill next, just to add to the shading on the left:

Now another solid color, pink same color as the background. Mask it and use a soft brush to blend it over the background and onto some of Lydia’s hair. The blend mode is color and the opacity 25%.

Add a selective color again, +5 black. Then another, for red adjustments.

Next is a vibrance layer, masked for the face.

Vibrance +28, saturation +14.

Next a gradient fill, now this one will focus on adding even more color to the right hand side. #000000, #e09696. 

And focus it on the right, this was my mask. 

Blend mode hard light, 38% opacity.

This should be masked for only the hair. Just to adjust and bring Lydia’s gorgeous strawberry blonde hair out of the pink background. Next another magenta selective color. 

This is how it looks so far. 

I added two textures, very subtle and sharpened after. Texture 1, set that to lighten and 24% opacity. Texture 2,  this one I did screen at 16% opacity. Lastly, you press CTRL, ALT, SHIFT+E to stamp the image. Which just means you create a layer on top of everything that blends all the layers but also keeps the originals. Then filter>sharpen>smart sharpen; amount 500, radius 0.3, more accurate and remove gaussian blur. 

Here’s a second example of another screencap using pretty much the same methods:

COLOR TUTORIAL #2

Color Porn Stiles.

Another tutorial similar to this one, but with a few differences. This time I am focusing on changing colors for the background to blend well and match a palette coloring scheme or just to make color porn picspams. 

I am using Photoshop CS5, and this is not a beginner tutorial, but it isn’t too hard either.

I will be showing you how to turn this:

into this: 

First start with a duplication of the background layer, then resize and crop how you want. Next I sharpened, then duplicated again and set the new duplicated layer to screen.

Here are the smart sharpen settings I always use. 

Next add these two gradients. Flip or move as needed.

If you’re using a different cap than me then you’d place the first one depending on where you’re best shadows are. You can use that first one twice at a lower opacity too if you need more shadows. 

Now a blank layer, with a large soft brush (#000000) and just shade the side of the image with the most shadow. My selection: 

I added a black gradient fill on top of that, rotate from right (being the black) to transparent (toward the left). Then add another blank layer on top of that and add more shadows using a large soft brush, again in black. 

Next I wanted to add some shadow and contrast to parts of Stiles’ face. I used levels. Here are the settings and my finished mask. 

(0, 0.70, 255 / 0, 223)

Here is the comparison gif.

Next I stamped the cap (alt+ctrl+shift+e) and moved it to the right; then I used the clone stamp tool to fill in the left side with the background. Like so:

Then add yet another selective color (black +4) and a black and white gradient map on top of that. Set the gradient map to soft light with a 20% opacity; or higher if you need more contrasting.

Now the eyes. Make a blank layer, set to soft light blend mode. Using a small round brush of a light brown color (#864514) and color the iris. Then I added some more details; like curves layers to brighten the reflections of his eyes. Then a color balance to dull the brown a little, more blue so it looks more natural. Then another curves layer to shadow near the corner of his eyelids. 

I did another layer, color fill (#4c3422), this time for his hair; mask it and color with the black brush to fill it in. I did some light coloring for his eyebrows too. Set it to soft light blend mode. Here’s the mask:

Next some more toning. 

(whites: -7,+5,-1,+31 / yellow: -27,+100,+70,0)

(reds: -32,+17,0,0 / yellows: -100, +100, +100, 0 / greens: -84,-100,+100,0)

(cyans: -33,-100,+100,0 / blues: -100,-100,+100,0)

Here’s the mask: 

Here the comparison.

Next add a vibrance adjustment, vibrance +10, saturation +4. 

Now colors! Finally right? 

Make a blank layer and with a large round soft brush paint in the left side, but don’t fill in the whole left side. It should be careful! On the first layer I lowered the opacity to 55%. 

Then another layer set to soft light (#b6a83e), color more toward Stiles with this one, again keep the stuff toward Stiles softer.

Repeat this step as needed with different colors of similar tones; all with the intention of carefully moving toward Stiles’s form with your bright colors. Make sure that if you do add any onto the skin, that it’s with a low opacity brush. 

(upper left to lower right: #ff9f40, #b6a83e, #dd9236 & #fe9f40)

The trick to these is using lowered opacity for the brushes; keeping everything bright and vibrant on the far left and fading the color as you move toward Stiles.

I added some more selective color next, with the purpose of drowning unneeded tones and balancing the yellows and oranges. It’s a lot!

(yellows: +20,-11,-68,-20 / greens: -17,-37,-100,0)

ANOTHER selective color. This whole tutorial is basically selective color right? This one though, you need to mask.

Next a color fill (#ff9f40), soft light with opacity 16-20% on top. Now, create another blank layer, same color as above with soft light blend mode again and opacity 66%. This one is so we can match the color of Stiles’ shirt, to the background. 

Color what I selected and it’ll blend better with the bg. It’s even better when you add another (guess what?) selective color. 

(reds: +32, -32, +28, +50. yellows: -63, +40, +21, 0)

Now stamp the whole thing again (alt+ctrl+shift+e) and add a vibrance (+15, -1) and a curves layer (output 135, input 124)

Progress gif.

And we’re are technically done. But hey there’s a little more. 

Now I can show you how to change the orange to green, purple, and even blue. Green to start with.

(reds: +100,-100,+100,-31 / yellows: +100,-83,+100,+100)

You’ll want to keep this one masked, so it barely effects Stiles. His skin will be corrected by the color balance. 

Then color balance. 

(shadows: 0,0,+6 / midtones: -3,+9,-16 / highlights: -10,+12,0)

(reds: +42,-68,+100,+16 / yellows: +9,-16,-1,-7)

This one should be masked too, but softer, less detailed.

Lastly add a blank layer, set it to the blend mode color. Take a green brush (#c8e740) soft round and color most of the left side, especially near Stiles’ neck, shirt and hair. Here’s my selection. 

Now purple.

(reds: +100,+100,-100,+100 / yellows: +100,+100,-100,-19 / magentas: +2,+2,0,0 / neutrals: -53,+31,-62,0)

(shadows: 0,0,+6 / midtones: -2,-13,+15 / highlights: -10,+12,0)

(reds: +31,+100,-51,-3 / yellows: +100,+100,-100,-7 / neutrals: +30,+7,-9,0)

Lastly make another blank layer and use a nice purple color to color where we did with the green. Make this one’s blend mode color (#be5eec). 

And blue. Same drill, start with selective color.

(reds: +100,-100,-100,+100 / yellows: +100,+100,-100,+100 / cyans: -36,+2,0,0 / magenta: -65,-16,0,0 / whites: -19,0,0,0 / neutrals: +100,-18,-17,0 / blacks: +100,0,0,+5)

(shadows: 0,0,+6 / midtones: -37,-10,+19 / highlights: -10,+12, 0)

(reds: +100,+100,-20,-3 / yellows: +100,+12,-88,-7 / cyans: +26,+24,0,0 / blues: -58,0,0,0 / magentas: +100,-100,-100,0 / neutrals: +26,-2,-13,0)

Mask all of the selective colors like you did for the green and purple. 

Finally you’ll need two blank layers, one at full opacity, set to the color blend mode select or mask it for the background. This one is for the blending portion of the background. 

The other is the same blend mode, but this one is to color only the shirt and needs a lower opacity, I used 45%. Both colors for the blending layers I used are (#2f97bb) 

And that’s it! I know longest tutorial ever. But it won’t be my last. Also here’s a Scott version of the cap using the same methods.
