TS4 Custom Content I'm working on | Nov '18


These are a couple of the things I'm working on at the moment!




Recoloured Objects & My Colour Palette

The Hipster Hugger sofa has only 3 colour options - I really like the design but it needs more colours! So I've started with that.

I've wanted to make my own colour palette for a while, so I'm working on one as I create the recolours for this sofa. When it's finished, I'll use it for more recoloured objects.

These are some examples of the swatches I have so far:


I still need to do some more tweaking (especially with the yellows and oranges) but I love the overall palette so far! There's another two sets I want include before it's finished - light and pastel. I'd love to have the palette finished within the next few weeks - that all really depends on how much time I can spend on it.

Get Famous Braids - mesh & texture edit

I've also been working on a very simple mesh and texture edit of the Get Famous braid hair, removing the rings from the braids. I think I've seen someone else do this one, but from what I could see, the texture wasn't fixed (there's a shadow on the texture where all the rings are.) So I went through each texture to remove the shadow and I'm happy with the results!


Here's some comparison pictures:


This is the original mesh and texture.

It's not perfect by any means, but I'm trying to get my projects finished while also being a decent quality. I'm so picky with my work that I usually have a difficult time completing things, and it's frustrating having unfinished work just sitting there.

Historical Items?


Finally, another project of mine: Caveman stuff.

A few months ago I was making caveman-style items for the Sims History Challenge - starting with toddlers, because there aren't enough of them.

The Get Famous Braids hairstyle would work nicely for that challenge and I'd love to use it so that inspired me to go back to that project. As well as a few toddler clothing items, I was working on some buy mode objects as well. We'll have to see how much time I can find to spend on this one!
