Lol anybody who's been around is used to me constantly disappearing but anywayyy personal life update: 🤣

Turns out baby #2 is actually babies # 2 & 3 because I'm expecting twins!

I'm almost 13 weeks now but have just been battling with morning sickness and juggling my work and my 3 year old so no time for video games lately 😅

Not a single thought behind those eyes huh, Iris? 

I have to be a mom irl so I don’t have time to play rn lmao but I just had to download the new pack and take a couple pictures bc I love this lil baby. 

[blursims]

Averie & Cameron both found a slightly new style since becoming parents. They’re the cutest lil family. Iris is such a little mini-Averie and I love it! 

[blursims]

So teeny... I love her 🥺

Mom and dad are soaking in all the love with baby Iris 👶🏻💗🥺

shoutout to @aridridge for sharing a quick temporary fix for infant skin overlays hehe

quick temporary fix to enable skin details, overlays, & default eyes for infants

for people asking how i figured out how to get things like skin overlays enabled for infants (namely @delicateism & @simminnikas on my post). 

this is not by any means a long-term fix or even probably the most convenient way to do this, it’s just what i ended up doing for the moment so that the babies would be cute. it’s also not a way to fix default skins; it’s just a way to get your infant to have the skin you like. whoever has a better way to do this, i’d totally love to know how! this is just how i jerryrigged it for the time being :)

first, i went into sims 4 studio, and went file > open > then i clicked the package file of the skin overlay i wanted. this has to be a nondefault version of a skin overlay—it can be set as a skin detail, or maybe makeup, whatever. if your favorite skin has a nondefault skin detail/makeup version, open that in sims 4 studio, and a window will pop up.

once the window pops up, i go to the tab that says ‘texture,’ where you’ll see a picture of the skin overlay. click export, and it will export this skin overlay to a png file. that’s the first part done!

after this i went back to the home screen of sims 4 studio. on the home screen, i selected ‘override’ under the blue tab that says CAS, then clicked on that blue CAS tab, which opened a window full of assets from the game. 

under the search bar, i typed ‘storkbite’ which brought up the skin detail asset that is the infant stork bite birthmark thing. once you select it & click next, it will prompt you to name the file before you make it, so name it something so u know what it is. 

after this, a window like the one from before with the skin overlap pops up. under the same texture tab from before, you want to press import this time. you’ll want to import the png file that you exported from your favorite skin overlay earlier. 

click save, and the name you chose earlier will be a package file now that you should put in your mods folder. now, when you select the stork bite, instead of giving your infant sim a stork bite, it will give them the face overlay you selected. 

this same process can be done with makeup, too. there’s no makeup tab for infants, but by following this same process, you can choose to make your favorite blush/whatever replace an existing base game infant skin detail (or maybe you can make the makeup be an added swatch of an existing skin detail without actually replacing the original, if while on the home screen during step 3 you select ‘add cas part swatch’ instead of override’, but i haven’t actually tested this). 

if you follow a similar process, but instead of replacing a stork bite, you make overrides by changing both the texture AND the specular of the default eye color assets (which will be listed as yfeyecolor, but that’s fine, it works the same), you should be able to make your favorite default eyes work for infants, too, but it’s kind of an arduous process that i haven’t fully completed yet. i’ve done it with one eye color, which worked just fine, but it looks like you might have to do them manually?

if anybody knows a more efficient way to fix default eyes, please, please, PLEASE rb & tell me lmaoooo. if anyone has a good way to fix default skins, please rb with that, too! <3

pour one out to the frontline soldiers absolutely rawdogging this update (mods and all), bc if it wasn't for them, we literally wouldn't know what broke in this game lmao.

[blursims]

It's me, hi! 🤣 I just love making things harder on myself 🤣

[blursims]

In other news, my life is full of babies both real and virtual. Found out recently I’m expecting baby #2 🤩 Very excited but also terrified bc my current almost-three-year-old is a crazy little tornado child 🤣💗

[blursims]

my queue has been empty and now it’s time for all my mods to be broken :) happy infant update day 🤣 posts will resume soon

I'm playing the same challenge and I'm trying to figure out their supposed to fit kids in a 32 tile house. I guess they will have to wait until their adults and I can upgrade the house to be bigger

Oh its for sure difficult 😅🤣 and I'm honestly not even sure my tiny home fits the parameters for the challenge I'm very loose with rules haha
