2. I’m going to make a simple poster. You can either use a plane or a sized down cube. I’m going to use a cube. I sized down the sides and front to my liking. Press S (Scale) and Z, Y, or X depending on what you want sized down. I have the shape I want, now I’m going to unwrap the UV
3. Open up the UV window, then with your mouse in the 3D window press TAB.
Your mesh will turn orange, this means you’re in edit mode. Now press U and unwrap. You now have your UVs. Now organize them how you want. I organized mine like this because everything except the front I want white. Press A to highlight all faces, then click UVs in the UV window and export your UV.
4. Open it up in Photoshop or GIMP. I add a layer as the background so I can see the UVs. Now add your texture.
Here’s how mine looks done. Remember to delete your UV layer.
5. Now export your mesh as a obj
6. Open Sims 4 Studio. Go into object and pick something similar to your mesh. Posters for posters // chairs for chairs etc.
9. Open the EA mesh in blender.
12. Change the cut. The EA mesh cut is what you’ll put your mesh cut as. Don’t touch the shadow cut. Save your mesh once it’s sized and has the right cut. Now change the cut of your mesh to 0 and save it as another file. This will be your shadow lod.
13. Now go into S4S again and import your mesh.
TA-DA you now have made your very own CC.
Now replace all the lods. If you have a higher poly mesh (mine is 30 polys) you’ll need to decimate it for medium and low lods, same for shadow.
Remember to change the catalog info.
