how to enable cc for spellcasters

so i thought this was a me problem but i figure that i should pass this knowledge along for anyone that is suffering from the same issue as me

cc eyes/skin/other things i haven’t found made prior (i want to think just prior) to realm of magic coming out have a habit of breaking and not showing up for spellcasters leaving the unchangeable brown swatch and no eye color swatches present in the case of eyes or just don’t show up in the case for other things

after searching for forever i found a way to fix it! please reblog to save a witch loving friend!

what you’ll need:

sims4studio

the cc you want to show up

if fixing skin: sims 4 skininator

this first part is for cc like eyes, hairs etc skins will be after that

i haven’t tried out fixing enabling presets yet but it should be as straight forward as fixing skintones

feel free to dm/send asks if you need clarification or help

tagging @squeamishsims since your struggle reminded me of this c:

TERRAINS REPLACEMENT UPDATE – ISLAND LIVING

Thanks to @szanne7000 for the first photo!

Here comes the sunshine on the beaches of Sulani’s islands 🏝 We outdid ourselves with this update. We are quite proud of it. Ok, the fact that we liked Sulani better than the other worlds helped a bit…

First, we did the usual. Dumped load and load of new sand on each beach of Sulani. On the ocean ground, the beaches, the inside of the islands. All sands were replaced with sweet, hot, fine sand. Something calm and soothing under your pixelated feet, some even say if you rub your heels with it you’ll remove your pixelated horn! Totally bonus, good for your health and self-care. Getting a tan and smooth feet.

But that’s no surprise coming from us. Then we started the heavy work. Not to brag but some of us lived on tropical islands and know the landscape. That black road made of volcanic stone? Hm, not much. Yes, you understand right: we changed the road to a dirt road. Or at least to a concrete one. We leave it to you what you want it to be. The fact is: it’s not dark anymore. What was that anyway? Asphalt in a natural and eco-friendly surrounding?

But those volcanic stones are cool. A volcanic island is hot to live on! Sometimes the volcano goes in action, the lava flows gently and people gather around to watch the show. It’s the power of nature, the wildness of the universe, etc. etc. etc. And you know what those volcano stones also are? Sharp. Really sharp. Like cutting edges. Often called slag when the magma has cooled down and solidified, those rocks are sharp and certainly not smooth and slippery.

We fixed it. As you can see, the rocks are now more than textured. It’s more than the usual textures.

We add perspective! Those rocks are even better than before. These rocks have depth, perspective, angles, slag. They are rocks. And they rock Sulani 😎

After this proud enhancement, we aimed to beautify the whole place. Figured why not. We had the impression that for once, everything didn’t need to be plastic and perfect, we went with the wave and touched some wood textures on the urban furniture (think: bridge) or the main place’s pavement on Ohan’ali Town. That needed a complete makeover.

Try it. Download it and install. Give us feedback. Take screenshots and tag us! Let us see your pixelated feet and what you think! Download here

Granite Falls Rocks

Yes, I chose the name because of all the rocks around the house and the world I build it in, very creative I know~

[SFS] Download Gallery ID: MusiLizzy

Lot size: 30x20

Build in Granite Falls

This build uses CC (see under the cut)

I let the basement almost empty because I had honestly no idea what to do with it. So you decide! Put a cauldron in there and let your witch make potions (or mac ‘n cheese I’m not picky), make room for a huge collection of insects, make a dungeon for that one sim you never liked, or just keep it as it is.

POETIC CINEMA RESHADE FOR TS4

The kinda successor to AV Club, Poetic Cinema is a dramatic vintagey Reshade I threw together for my Maxis-Mix save.

This Reshade is built on Reshade 2.0, which you will need. Uses Raymarch AO, Marty McFly’s textured DoF, YACA, Reinhard Linear, Filmic Pass, and a few other extra shaders for coloring.

For gameplay friendliness, I’ve attached the DoF and AO to a couple keys for easy toggling, otherwise it shouldn’t be too taxing on a decent gaming rig.

KEY BINDINGS

F6 - Toggle AO

F7 - Toggle DoF

INSTALLATION

To install, just unzip, and add to your Reshade/Presets folder, wherever it is you keep your folder, and assign it in the assistant app.

More Nvidia Inspector goodness!

Just saw this over on @uglytownie simblr from some anon asks. If you used/saw my tutorial for using Nvidia Inspector to remove lines on your sims’ faces, check this out too, so exciting! I didn’t take any before or after shots in my game, cuz this ain’t about me, but it’s looking mighty fine. Here are links to the original images submitted to uglytownie:

Hi! I really, really love your maxis match retextures, but since I don't have much space in my computer for a lot of cc, I don't think it could handle the retexture as well as the mesh. Obviously you can't upload the retextures including the mesh, but is there a way that I can combine them so that only the maxis match shows up in game?

I’ll make you a little tutorial because i’ve got a few of these asks and there isn’t an up to date tut out there that I know of.

What you will need: Sims4Studio, the mesh file you wish to edit. (Sims4Studio requires a free registration but it is well worth imo.)

Place the mesh file somewhere you can easily find and open it using the My Projects button in S4S like so:

You should then see this screen. ^

You want to click the Warehouse tab, next to the Studio tab which is currently open.

In the Warehouse tab you want to select ‘Type’ so that the parts are ordered by type, this makes it easier to delete the ones you don’t want.

Select all of the CAS Parts and RLE 2 Images, apart from the RLE 2 image that contains the shadow you can see and press the Delete button on your keyboard to leave only the geometry files, shadow, DST and specular:

Press save and place the edited file in your mods folder.

This will make it so when you place the mesh in your mods folder the MM version reads the mesh and shows up and you don’t get the original textures clogging up your game. :) I tried to be thorough but if there is anything you don’t understand feel free to drop me an ask and I will elaborate! Happy CC Management! <3

New way to find *exact* package file causing errors!

I hope you are excited as me about this.

First a plug: I create maxis-match style cc, specializing in modular/customizable furniture. Find my stuff on my tumbler, instagram or in my subreddit r/ravasheen I post WIP and take requests/incorporate feedback etc!!

Now onto how to find broken cc… I think this should eliminate the 50/50 method in most cases! I extensively use sims 4 studio (S4S) to create my cc. I have known there were cheats you could use in it, but not all of them so I requested a list from the admins. As of the latest release (1/27/2020) you can now use the cheat ‘help’ which displays a list of all the available cheats in S4S. There are lots in here, but there is one cheat you can use to debug your cc:

resource.find:

Locates the package containing a particular instance id in the Mods folder. ex. “resource.find 123456789”. Can be useful when a lastException.txt contains a resource instance of a piece of broken content.

So how this would work is you would take your lastexception file spit out by the game and use https://lastexception.com/ to spit out what the errors are. You should get a resource number (or multiple) from this.

Open up sims 4 studio (ensure it is the latest version) and hit ctrl+shift+c, just like in sims, to pop up the cheat command window. Enter ’resource.find [enter resource number here]’ and it will tell you what package file it is.

Mind blown. This is a game changer for sure! One note, I don’t use mods like MCCC or anything so I am not sure if this works on broken mods. But it should at the very least work on cc.

For other cc creators out there… the cheat ‘help’ lists all available cheats you can use in s4s. Most of them are geared towards creating cc.

Tab & Live Mode Camera Mod

I was having a bit of a problem with the previous versions of this mode due to it being near 5 years old. It was causing sims to slightly disappear from the chest up from what I assume was a glitch related to the FPS controls. So I fixed it!

This original mod was created by Buckley and was later updated to a newer version by Szielins. It works exactly the same, I simply up-updated to work correctly with the new camera controls introduced with the FPS (First Person) update. Like other game altering mods, these package files should only be directly in your mods folder, or ONE folder deep. Let me know if there are any problems!!!!

Most recent update: ( 12/12/2019 ) 1.59.73.1020 (Though it should work with any new updates as long as they do not change anything with the camera.)

Made With: S4PE & Atom

Recomended Mods: TwistedMexi’s Build Camera Mod

Sunshine Superman- a reshade preset for 3.0.8

This is a reshade preset I’ve been tweaking for a couple of months now, and while it is still far from perfect, I’d like to share it. The above pics are unedited aside from reshade and a slight smart sharpen in photoshop. They also were taken with Bloom and Cinematic DOF on. For Reshade version 3.0.8. It is pretty effects heavy so I would just use it for screenshots. Have fun

I can’t be the only person out there with more skin detail and tattoo CC than sense, right? And given the lack of filtering on those two categories, it becomes a total nightmare to navigate and work out if you can use this overlay with that set of freckles… what about this body hair with these tattoos? It’s the worst.

So I made these! They won’t do anything to your sim when you put them on - that’s not what they’re for. They work more like labels! These items will always show at the very beginning of each sub-category, even above any items added by EA. That way, you can tell at a glance what slot a given tattoo or skin detail will take up when you put it on your sim… which means no more guesswork when you’re layering them up!

Enjoy!
