No EA Eyelashes HOTFIX

So uh, I whipped up a quick fix for @cienzroza ‘s no EA Eyelashes mod, because it stopped working with island living (you know the drill, mermaids lose their faces, floating teeth, kinda sounding like a low-budget horror movie)

not gonna lie, I’m kinda proud of myself for figuring this out

Before you download my fix, please check cien‘s original post to see if it’s updated!

If you run into any trouble with this fix, shoot me a quick message and I’ll try my best to fix it ,, again

Make sure to remove the old files for this mod!! 

You’ll be downloading a single file, no separate files for age groups!!

I’m tagging everyone who commented on my post about the mod fix under the cut, so just ignore that

The Sims 4 Mod: More CAS Presets

Are you tired of the same old CAS preset? Well, with this new mod, you can get loads more!

The mod adds hundreds of new body and face presets, all of which are extracted from premade Sims from in game as well as Sims hidden in the game files. That’s not all: the mod also adds new possibilities for Sims that are randomised because those will use the new presets as well.

Preview Picture Action for Photoshop

This was requested by a few people. I hope it’s useful! :) The zip file contains a PNG with some instructions, the preview image and 4 PS Actions.

For picures with just one layer and a solid background: Preview Picture Action (with Topaz)  Preview Picture Action (without Topaz) For pictures with either one layer with transparent background, or more layers and at least one with transparency: Preview Picture Action - TRANSPARENT Background (with Topaz) Preview Picture Action - TRANSPARENT Background (without Topaz) They all do pretty much the same, just with different options. You can get a trial version of Topaz Clean 3 *here*. The Actions were made with the english version of Photoshop CS5, but they should work for all languages. :) I’m not completely sure about the version, though… but I guess they work for all CS versions and above.

I made something for those non- sweetfx and reshade users (like myself) It’s a simple PS action that will remove the ugly yellow tones and also add a bit of vibrance, brightness and sharpness to your Sims 4 screenshots (might work for Sims 3 have not tested it yet)  

Made with Photoshop CS6 (its suppose to work for all versions, I hope)

TOU: 

- DO NOT re-upload! 

- DO NOT claim as yours! 

- DO NOT edit it (use as a base or use parts of it) and re-upload!  

No need to credit me but respect my TOU please.

intoxicated. a default skinblend by pxelbox

I find myself running out of skin detail slots all the time, so for a few months I’ve been itching to make my own personal skinblend. This was the result!

This skin is ALL AGES and ALL GENDERS. There is no non-default version and I won’t be making one, but feel free to do it yourself if you know how.

DISCLAIMER: as this is a skinblend, none of this skin is originally handpainted by me. I added some shine to the cupids bow but that was it. Everything else belongs to their respectful creators, and I take no credit for creating the details used in this skin. All I did was slap ‘em together, and a monkey could do that.

TAHANI SKINBLEND

Making this was such a learning experience! I’ve never been super confident with textures but I was getting a bit tired of using like 100 different overlays on every sim, so this is a combo of my favorite details!

Facepaint & Forehead skindetail

Realistic & clean versions

Finding Broken Mods/CC (Sims 4)

Important Notes (added October 17, 2018)

ALL Script mods will break with the November 2018 Patch.

Delete ANY mods (including the .package files many script mods come with) that end with .ts4script

Wait for updates/get those updated.

Also delete any mods that end with .zip or .py or .pyo for very old script mods.

This is the process we recommend to anyone visiting our MCCC/Sims 4 Support Discord who is having issues with mods and/or custom content.  

Tips:

Leave MC Command Center and Resource.cfg in /Mods. MCCC’s error-catching can make this process much easier for you.

One problem area can be avoided by keeping recolors and their meshes together in the SAME batch of test files.

Make sure no Script Mod is deeper than in /Mods or /Mods/Folder.  They won’t work any farther down.

Any time you remove files from /Mods, you should also remove the localthumbcache.package file from /Sims 4.

Suggestion:  if the idea of “halfing” ALL your files at once seems like too much, consider 50/50ing all of your Gamechanger Mods first, then all of your Build Buy (object)  Custom Content, and finally all of your CAS Custom Content.  

If you don’t already have things separated by folders, now would be a great time for you to do that, also.  

Organization makes mod/cc upkeep SO much easier!

Follow these directions for Everything Else in your /Mods folder.

Start Here!

1) Divide suspect custom content in half.  Put each half in temporary folders on your Desktop.

Put the folder containing the first half of the suspect files into your Sims 4/Mods folder.

2) Test the first half of this batch of suspect files.

A) Result: The problem persists with only the first half of suspect files in place.

Problem is in the first half of the suspect files.  

Back to 1) Divide.

OR

B) Result: The problem disappears with only the first half of suspect files in place.

Remove the first half of the suspect files and put the second half in Sims 4/Mods.

3) Test second half of suspect content.

C) Result:  The problem persists with only the second half of suspect files in place.

Problem is in the second half of the suspect files.  

Back to 1) Divide.

OR

D) Result: The problem disappears with only the second half of suspect files in place.

You have a conflict between files in the first and second halves of suspect content.

4) Leave the first half in, and continue testing the second half until you have identified which file(s) in the second half are a problem.  Then put the second half’s problem file(s) in and begin testing the first half for problem file(s).

5) Repeat until you have identified the individual problem file(s).

Note: the above info was taken from this Sims 2 related link and updated for Sims 4:

MCCC's Error Notifications

Sims 4 players using MC Command Center have some extra insurance against using broken mods or cc, in the form of error-catching.  Depending on where in game code an error happens, it could either be generated as a MCCC log error, or as a lastException.  

I’ll show you where to find both file types.

Here’s what the notification for MCCC logs looks like:

For translating, here’s what it says:

ERROR LOGGED

A script error has been logged to the mc_cmd_center.log file located in the same folder as the MC Command Center modules.  As this error may be a result of a bug in MCCC, please notify Deaderpool about it!  Thanks!

This rectangular message is seen less often than the more-square (larger) notification for lastExceptions, which will be covered below.

The next picture shows you where to look on your (Windows) computer for the log file.  Depending on your OS settings, you may or may not see .log or LOG.  If you don’t, it should be shown as a Text Document.  

There are three files in the MCCC folder named mc_cmd_center, the mod files (package and ts4script), and the text/log file, which is the file (highlighted in blue) to bring us, if you come to Deaderpool’s Discord for help.

Here’s what the notification for lastExceptions looks like: 

For translating, here’s what it says: 

LAST EXCEPTION CAUGHT BY MCCC

A script error has been logged to the LastException.txt file located in the Sims 4 folder.  This error almost always happens as a result of bad or out-of-date mods or CC, but sometimes it can be an EA script error as well.  It will continue to happen until the mods or cc are removed or updated.  In the Troubleshooting documentation in the MCCC website help menu, there is a suggestion on how to track-down bad or out of date custom content.  Thanks!

The next picture shows you where to look on your (Windows) computer for the lastException file.  It should be shown as a Text Document in your /Sims 4 folder. That’s the file (highlighted in blue) to bring us, if you come to Deaderpool’s Discord for help.

Some extra information on error messages: In your /Sims 4 folder, you may see 3 different types of error files.  Their names all begin with “last” and they are all text files.  

lastCrash: usually from old or broken custom content.

lastException: any mod, cc or EA (game code) error not caught by the other file types.

lastUIException: usually user-interface mods needing updated (weerbesu at MTS, for example).

Of the 3, the best one to show us on Discord is the lastException.  (By the way, drag and drop is Very Handy on Discord!!)  The other 2 types, we can only tell you what I’ve already said here.  Other than “you need to sort through your mods and cc,” which is detailed in this post.

One more thing, if you see any “last” file with numbers added to the name, those are old.  The ones with no numbers added are fresh.  Any with numbers can be deleted, they won’t tell us what’s going on NOW in your game.  

We really only need the ONE (newest) file, when you come to visit us.

How to get rid of lines that appear on sims/objects/walls

This bug came back when I updated my laptop and I’ve been seeing a lot of people recently that have this bug, so I decided to make a little tutorial on how to get rid of it. Everyone that I know that has the bug had a Nvidia graphics card, so if you don’t have a Nvidia graphics card, sorry, this tutorial probably won’t work for you.

Follow these steps at own risk, nothing should normally go wrong if you follow this tutorial step by step, but if stuff does go wrong then please don’t blame me. 

Click on “Keep Reading” for the full tutorial.

Before you follow these steps, install Nvidia Inspector. (watch out for fake download button ads)

1.) Open Nvidia Inspector and click on the settings button.

2.) Next to profiles type in ‘sims’ and scroll down untill you find ‘Sims 4′ 3.) Click on ‘Sims 4′

4.) Go to Antialiasing fix and switch it to ‘On’.

5.) Click on ‘Apply Changes’ at the top right and close Nvidia Inspector. And the lines should normally be gone now, I hope this helped!

After months of being unhappy with my gameplay editing, I finally decided to buckle down and create a brand new psd from scratch. I wanted something simple and easy that even beginners could use, while still maintaining the depth of color and detail that I’m used to. After hours of editing countless screenshots to achieve the most balanced and versatile psd possible, I finally bring you my brand new psd: HAPPY PILLS.

HAPPY PILLS is a versatile, easy-to-use .psd for THE SIMS. it includes basic, slap-on-and-save coloring, as well as advanced options for more artistic shots. HAPPY PILLS is an anti-whitewashing .psd that adds vibrance while preserving skintones.

MORE INFORMATION, COMPARISONS, AND DOWNLOAD BELOW ▼

HAPPY PILLS is the successor to my POP! psd that I made months ago. It’s simpler, prettier, and a lot easier to use. I’ll reupload my sharpening and smoothing actions at some point: this is just a coloring psd. I made it using Photoshop CS5, but it’ll work with most, if not all versions.

WHAT’S INSIDE: two different folders and some instructions. There’s a base editing folder for coloring, and an addons folder for advanced coloring and gradients.

This isn’t an action! I probably won’t be uploading an action version. If you want to make it into an action, go ahead! Just credit me, and let me know so I can add a link to your action on this post.

CAUTION: I don’t know what this PSD will look like if you use reshade! I don’t personally use it, so I don’t have anything to test it with. Use with caution: you will absolutely have to adjust it to fit with your reshade preset.

TERMS OF USE: Don’t reupload this or claim it as your own. You can edit the psd however you like for your personal use, but don’t edit it a little bit and reupload it as your own. If I remove the download link, it means that I don’t want people to have it.

Athena’s Mods and CC Maintenance Tip Sheet

I play a heavily modded game. In fact, my Mods folder is over 20GB. Unless you want mod maintenance to become your next hobby, I do not suggest you do the same. However, through trial and error (mostly error) I have learned a few tips and tricks to keep my game in tip-top shape.

Always keep your game patched to the latest version

Back-up your EA folder to the Desktop before updating your game

Remember to re-enable script mods after updating or reinstalling your game

Back-up your EA folder regularly. I use Dropbox, but any cloud service or other device will work.

Perform a Game Repair on Origin before and after every update

Learn to use Sims 4 Studio

Always make sure you have the latest version of Sims 4 Studio

Always Batch Fix all CC after every CC “shopping” trip - especially if you download older CC.

Always clear your localthumbcache.package file after every game

Always delete your caches, any “Last*.txt” files, and your localthumbcache.package file after adding or deleting any mods or CC.

NEVER use old script mods. Script mods should not be older than the latest major patch (usually those are the patches before a GP or EP). I actually borked my main save by not heeding my own advice about backing up my EA folder before testing. Luckily, I was able to recover by splicing bits of various saves together. It was NOT fun and it took over a week-and-a-half. Most people would have given up…

Put your Mods in folders so that it is much easier to do a 50/50 if you need to do one - and eventually you will need to do one.

Keep mods that have both a .package and a .ts4script file together in the same folder and no more than one subfolder deep.

YOGIBEAR ACTION [by cowplant-pizza]

ok so a lot of people have asked me how i edit aaaaand, this is how lol.

SO, this isn’t really a straight forward action and i feel like i need to explain a few things to clear shit up.

1. this action was inspired by @ratboysims and this amazing tutorial. this is basically compiling all of his advice into an action

2. i use this reshade by @wilderbees as well as my action

3. i often use light leaks which make my pictures look brighter. i get them from here (credit to @smubuh) and i use the “warm light” from this action (credit to @plumbjam)

4. i also like to use this 3d action sometimes by @diphyllleia

5. this action is highly customisable. if you click on the layers created by the action, you can alter the colours and brightness

6. there’s a few options in the action that need topaz. the link where i got mine from is ded, rip. but you don’t need it!

7. idk why but when @foursims tried this action, it came out suuuuper sharp. please make sure that your smart sharpen settings are set to this (once again, credit to emmett bby♥) 

8. i tested this action without reshade and it still looked okay but not amazing!

9. other reshades that work well with this action are: presets by @pickypikachu, as well as all presets by @whiisker

So… if you’re all ok and i haven’t confused the f*ck out of you by now… here’s the dl lols

DOWNLOAD: SIMFILESHARE [NO ADS]

tou: don’t reupload this, especially behind ads. don’t put this on simsdom. if you wanna edit it to your liking, and then upload it thats cool but link back to this post and give myself (but especially emmett) credit.

♡ANIMATED TEXT TUTORIAL♡

I finally got around to making the tutorial for this! There are many ways to do this, this is just one of them :)

Step 1. Start off with a text layer on top of a white background, I would recommend a handwritten font, but it’s not necessary. You can also take the brush tool and write out the text as well.

Step 2. Now right click the text and choose Rasterize Type.

Step 3. Now we are going to duplicate the layer twice. Right click the layer and choose Duplicate Layer. Do this twice to get a total of 3 layers with your text.

Step 4. Now select the top layer and go to Filter>>Distort>>Ripple.

Step 5. Set the Amount to 20% and the Size to Large. Click OK.

Step 6. Now click the second layer from the top and once again go to Filter>>Distort>>Ripple. This time change the amount to -20%. Click OK.

Step 7. Next, click the Background Layer to make sure that it is selected. Then go to Window>>Animation.

Step 8. The Animation Window will pop up, if yours looks like this, click the 3 little white squares at the bottom to change to Frame Animation.

Step 9. With the Background still selected go to the drop down menu in the top right of the animation window and select Make Frames From Layers.

Step 10. This will make frames of all of the layers you have. We need to add the white background to the layers so go to Layers Window (make sure Background is selected) and click the little eye next to Unify. Click Match. This will apply your background to all of the frames.

Step 11. Delete the first blank white frame by clicking the trashcan, you should now just have 3 frames. Change the looping option to Forever and change each frame duration to 0.1 seconds.

To save go to File>>Save for Web & Devices. Make sure you are saving as a GIF and click Save.

Here are some more examples of the text with different fonts. Message me with any questions! I hope this was helpful!

How to remove green screen

I’ve been asked to make a tutorial on how I remove the green screen from my screenshots, tho recently I don’t use a green screen that often because it makes the quality less good and yeah, I made this quick tutorial and sent it for some people here, so I thought why not share it with yall xD btw I learned this trick from @viirinx thank chu bubs, you a life saver 💖

This is the first step, I was too lazy to go back and change it xD, ‘Select’ > ‘Color range’ > click the green screen and then ‘Edit’ > ‘Clear’.

Step 1 (after you do the real first step lol): Make a new layer. Step 2: Make it as a ’Color’ modifier. Step 3: make the layer a ‘Clipping mask’, which you do by right-clicking on the layer.

Step 4&5: Pick the color next to the green area. Step 6: Paint with the brush tool.

Boom that’s it.
