itβs a terrain replacement i made for my save file world! not ready to upload it yet, but hereβs a closer look at the texture. i was going for more realistic than EAβs neon green blob but more cartoony/stylised than a high-definition real grass texture
iβll post it when my save file is complete! i would upload it now, but i can just see myself deciding to change something, and then someone might download it and forget to delete the old one, and then thereβs two 20mb duplicate files in someoneβs gameβ¦ iβd rather avoid that (terrain replacements are chonky)
hi! theyβre debug main street pennants from TS3 that i converted for my save. here you go! itβs in sculptures and comes in two swatches
hey, thank you! i use sunblind by softerhaze, itβs absolutely life-saving. i also use a simple reshade preset with mxao, bloom and a bit of a yellow tint
anon, i had this exact thought process when i was starting my save. like, word for word
to answer your question: yes, itβs possible. thereβs a tutorial for doing this with a program called ninjaripper thatβs pretty straightforward. but to be entirely honest, the process of going through all the extracted meshes (it grabs surrounding world meshes too), then remapping the entire model, was too laborious for me. not to mention itβs difficult to find any sims 4 object that has enough cut numbers for the roof, wall, door, window, stair etc. textures to retain high quality
since houses are just simple shapes, i personally find it a lot easier to make my shell houses in blender (using a debug house as a size reference), slap some TS4 textures on the roof and walls, then add opaque windows. took me a couple of hours to put this one together, which is a lot less time than it takes me to build a real lot in hindsight
@harurishβ hello, and thank you! so many people have done terrain replacements, i just downloaded one of them to find which DST images they were replacing for base game. using the game file cruiser in S4S, i searched the instance numbers, imported them into an empty package, and went from there!
to save you some unnecessary work, hereβs the file i made for the bg terrain. i didnβt save it before changing the grass, but as all i did was desaturate the original texture as you saw in the post, itβs still pretty maxis accurate. i didnβt touch the sand/dirt :) all you need to do is import whatever textures you want. might take awhile because thereβs a lot of them
not outlandish at all! iβve never really looked at the mt. komorebi world files (ashamedly, i must admit i have never hiked in game either) and so iβve honestly no idea. but i wouldnβt rule it out! you should ask a script modder. thereβs so many brilliant people in the community, i have no doubt someone can figure it out
