hi!! i absolutely love your cc and horses, and wanted to ask, do you know of any tutorials on how to paint horses in ps/procreate etc. and avoid pixellation?

tia! ❤️

Hi there! I have a tutorial on The Equestrian Sims Discord server, but I'm happy to share it here too! This guide focuses on decompressing the coat, but it might also help with the Procreate process.

If you're using Procreate, I recommend Walnut Hill's 3D model (available on the TES server) and checking out this TS3 tutorial for additional tips!

Here’s a simple method to decompress your coats:

STEP O1: Pancake/Texture

Extract your coat using Cmar’s Coat Converter

STEP O2: Hoofswatch package

Open S4S

Make a new CAS standalone package

Filter horses, then filter to hoof color

Click your desired hoofswatch

Export the hoof texture

STEP O3: Upscale

Open “Upscayl” (or any similar program)

Select your desired model

Image scale to x2

Upscale the texture and hoofswatch

STEP O4: Combine

Open your texture and hoofswatch in your editing program

Layer the hoofswatch on top

Optional: Make desired edits in your editing software; blend seams, add highlights, shadows, edit color etc.

STEP O5: Thumbnail

Optional: Create a thumbnail

STEP O6: Finalize hoofswatch package

Open S4S and import your .png

Click on the swatch color and color pick the horse; the swatch color should be unique or else it won’t show up!

Optional: Import your thumbnail in both the male and female category

Optional: Go to categories and disable random

Save the package and drag it into your mods folder

Tadaa! Your hoofswatch is finished!

Advent Day 7: BSS Advent Horse ✨🎄

The final gift of the Black Spooky Advent Calendar is here, and it’s a special one! Meet BSS Evergreen, a powerful bay Dutch Warmblood stallion who has been secretly teased throughout this event.

BSS Evergreen was inspired by your votes in a poll on my Patreon, making him the perfect choice to close out the advent calendar. I hope you’ll enjoy adding him to your stables!

CAS, unedited:

TERMS OF USE — My prefix BSS must remain. — Do not alter the coat and hoofswatch or remove/hide the brand in any way. — You MAY NOT sell BSS Evergreen for fake or real currency, this will result in an immediate blacklist. Please keep it fun for everyone! — You may breed with the horse, however directly copying the coat to the foal is not allowed.

I would love to see updates, please do not hesitate to tag me in posts! (chelle02 on Discord, I'm active on The Equestrian Sims server, and blackspookysims on Instagram and Tumblr)

Important: BSS Evergreen requires the included Hoofswatch to display correctly. Please make sure to download it, or he will appear blank in your game.

Additionally, I use Walnut Hill's skin override, so Evergreen may look different if you have a different skin override installed.

Shine Stencil

I'm super excited to introduce my very first highlight stencil for horses in TS4! I've put a lot of passion and work into this, and I'm thrilled to finally share it with the community.

This stencil is incredibly versatile, working beautifully at different opacities. You can use it on its own, or layer it with existing shine and shader stencils from other talented creators for a more detailed look.

One of my favorite techniques is to gradually build up opacity in specific areas, rather than using the bucket tool–it allows for more depth and control in your designs.

The Black Spooky Highlight stencil is available for download now! I hope it inspires you to create something amazing<3
