Custom Content Cosplay Conversions

Sims 4 Custom Content Cosplay Conversions by Saikyo C4

[saikyoc4]

I feel like I'm just repeating what everyone else says, but your creations are amazing. I discovered your blog yesterday and I've already downloaded a lot. Good luck with all of your projects, and hopefully someone finds a way to make full body meshes easier to make.

Thanks very much! I'll always take a compliment over someone telling me my stuff sucks ;) The big roadblock for meshing right now is the morphs... they're controlled by a second UV map- which is kind of unusual.

I'm sure Cmar and all the other tool guys are working on solutions though... it'll be great when I can also edit specular maps and do objects. I want to make a spaceship replacement with Samus' spaceship :)

[saikyoc4]

just came up with a neat solution to backface culling... what does that mean? better quality CC of course ;)

[saikyoc4]

I saw your ice fairy on the sims 4 gallery and I was just asking where you got the custom content for her. I saw the links in the chat on the page, but i was wondering if you could possibly send me the links? If not that is okay.

You're a little confused... I don't have any ice fairies on the Sims 4 gallery. The only characters I have up on my account (Scrub_Mcgrubb), use only my CC.

Someone must have been using my CC parts combined with the fairy parts and linked to give me credit (and thanks for that)... so ask the person who actually made the character in the gallery.

[saikyoc4]

"(but don’t request me)" Does that mean you don't do paid commissions? Is that something you'd think of doing in the future?

As tempting as that sounds... most of the geometry and textures of my CC are ripped from other games... albeit pretty heavily modified. Still, wouldn't seem right (or legal) to sell someone else's work... same reason I don't put ads on any of my stuff.

The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat: Official Trailer

The pack should be available to purchase within the next few minutes.

[saikyoc4]

aaaaand the conveyer belt of overpriced and underwhelming "game packs" begins in 3.... 2.... 1...

[saikyoc4]

A VERY BIG THANKS!

So this is interesting... not sure if this is new or not, but the Sims 4 will display how many players are online in the gallery mode. There was only a little over 12,000 people playing the game. I really was not aware the player base for this game is that tiny.... and with this new perspective my download numbers are actually really quite high.

I knew a lot of people are sticking with Sims 3... but I really had no idea so little people are playing this game. I had you pegged totally wrong Sims 4 community... you guys really are downloading my stuff! and for that, thank you very much :)

[saikyoc4]

New character looks promising! Guilty Gear, right? That game needs more representation in the world.

yeah Xrd has been out for like a month and surprisingly I haven't seen any of the 3d models pop up in mods... wasn't that hard to rip since the game runs on Unreal

[saikyoc4]

Character 14 is off to a pretty strong start...

[saikyoc4]

Can you maybe make Ahri from League of Legends?

I've had a lot of LOL requests... but the problem is the models are very low poly and the textures are pretty low resolution. They look great zoomed out... but not so much once you get up on them a bit.

[saikyoc4]

I posted a link to the mediafire link for the picture on my page

yeah I see the picture... the body mesh for Bayonetta was really different from the Sims 4 skeleton so I decided to keep the legs a little wider.

[saikyoc4]

Hi how do use the camera in blender

middle mouse key and shift + middle mouse key

[saikyoc4]

wow your cc is amazing!! i downloaded every single one these past couple weeks, keep up the good work!! have you ever thought about making tekken and dead or alive meshes?

Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying the characters :)

I actually had a character poll up a couple weeks ago with Kasumi from DOA 5 in it... but she lost out to Chun-li (think she was like third or forth place). Definitely interested in making both DOA and Tekken characters... not sure when though.

bebebrillit said: i realy love this !!!! i was wondering if u culd make the gun and sword seperetly from the outfit just as aseccories? keep up this awsome work of yours ur amazing!

I could make the gun and sword as accessories... but the problem is in the hand. The sword would just be kind of "stuck" to the hand with the fingers still moving... it would look pretty silly. I basically detached all the hand animations for the left hand in the Bayonetta outfits with the gun and sword... but I don't know of a way to do it just as an accessory.

[saikyoc4]

13 is usually an unlucky number... but not one for Bayonetta fans! This will be the thirteenth character I've brought into The Sims 4 so far.

This was one of the tougher conversions I've done... Bayonetta is REALLY freaking tall! Her model is actually somewhere around 8 feet tall. Obviously there is no height control in Sims 4... so I really had to compact her down. This resulted in some of the geometry losing smoothness, and most noticeably- her hips and legs are a little wider than other Sims. This means the outfit isn't compatible with other shoes and her shoes aren't compatible with other outfits. I also really wanted to include her hair sleeves... but it just wasn't possible. Without any kind of physics engine in Sims 4... there isn't cloth simulation. Rigid hair sleeves just looked ridiculous when I tested them (sleeves made out of hair are already ridiculous to start with). 

Still she came out pretty damn good. Unlike previous CC, you only have one color palette to choose from this time. Colored outfits just didn't feel right... so to compensate I've done 3 outfit variations. Default, one holding a gun, and one holding a sword. Each have their own slot in CAS... it was the only way to have a closed hand around a weapon or I would have just done them as accessories.

This is getting long winded! Here is what you get!

New hair mesh

New glasses mesh

New earring mesh

New bracelet mesh

New high heel mesh (with bonus gun heel mesh)

3 New outfit meshes

New skin detail beauty mark (oops forgot that in the image!)

I'm doing the downloads different this time and you'll see why in a second... here's the main download file-

DOWNLOAD

I'm giving the outfit parts with the guns and sword their own download link. *WARNING* IF YOU HAVE A WEAK COMPUTER, THESE FILES COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR GAME! Bayonetta's guns are super high poly... so use at your own risk.

EXTRA DOWNLOAD

I would love to add her Bayonetta 2 hair/costume if ripping from that game becomes possible. I also might do a Jeanne variation in the future. Not many people guessed that the glasses and earrings I released were from Bayonetta... but I'm very happy there were at least a few of you very excited to see this character done.

[saikyoc4]

I think it is terrible what that simmer had said about you. You are one of the ONLY simmers who has the knowledge to make amazing meshes. I love all of your creation! Your CC makes for amazing simmer stories and I love being able to mix and match your items. I am very sorry that you get negative review ; ; -huggles-

LOL, I appreciate the vote of confidence. The truth is I've been putting art on the internet longer than that kid's been alive... so my skin is thick enough to take any criticism he was throwing at me.

If there was some kind of misconception that I was claiming to be better than other CC creators though... I definitely wanted to clear that up. I have a lot of respect for my peers and I download a lot of CC made by other people.

[saikyoc4]

Honestly your DLs are low cause your stuff is low quality. Your meshes are choppy and rough looking, your hair all has holes/ugly colors/glitches, etc. I love all these charas you're making but I DL your CC, see that it looks low quality/has an issue and delete it. I did that with Chun, ZSSamus, Morrigan etc. You complain that the community sucks but look at people like PeacemakerIC, LumiaLoverSims etc. They're honestly doing a hell of a lot better job than you. Step it up man.

Normally I wouldn’t justify a message like this with an answer since it’s more of a cry for attention than any kind of useful feedback… but I figured this was info that other people might want to know.

First off I’m truly puzzled by the holes and the hair and glitches… anyone else understand what this means? If there’s a problem I do want to fix it, as you’ve seen I often update older stuff.

There is an issue with a lot of my recent CC if it is zoomed out enough it gets all wonky. That’s from the LOD not having the proper skin weights… I’m aware of the issue and it stems from the tools I’m using reassigning weights when it shouldn’t. There’s also no tool out there that can make meshes with morphing yet… so that also leads to a lot of problems.

The biggest problem is the community though… as much as I love the tool, the Sims4Studio forum is an unbearable place. The moment you say anything critical about Sims4Studio they threaten to ban you… frankly OrangeMittens is kind of an asshole. TSR isn’t much better… they’re more interested in making ad revenue and have had a tool that lets creators build object meshes for quite a while, but are hording it and only given it to a few people they deem worthy. That’s not a way of fostering creativity and growing a community…. instead we’re just drowning in a sea of low quality recolors.

Guys like lumialoversims I’ve got absolutely no problem with, stand up guy. In fact every CC creator I’ve been in touch with has always been a very nice person. Great quality recolors are still recolors though… I make CC because I want more than that…. if that’s not what you want, cool. You can still eat a dick though. 

[hyperdarkcrusher]

Look, I’m not just doing it to be rude. I’m doing it because you seem to think that you’re the best person out there. You aren’t the only person making new meshes in fact other people are making way better meshes without these weight issues you described (notEgain for example) so I don’t see why you immediately blame the tool. No shit they’d threaten to ban you for being critical considering I read what you wrote. It wasn’t “maybe you could fix this,” it was “this sucks, this sucks, this sucks too blah.”

PS: lumialoversims doesn’t just do recolors, he makes awesome mesh edit too. Also, I’d love to eat a dick! That’s not really an insult considering I like guys so thanks for the compliment!

[saikyoc4]

Okay I get it now… you have to defend the honor of your preferred CC creators. If that’s how you read into the situation you are waaaaay off. I’ve never claimed to be the best, and I know for a fact I’m totally not the best…. if I was I’d be making tools that add morphs and fix all the meshing issues. Apparently your favorite creators have already figured out that problem with all their amazing original full body meshes though… so congrats to them.

[hyperdarkcrusher]

Sensing sarcasm I see. This is exactly my point. You’re condescending even when defending yourself. I think I’m done here. You’re proving your own point.

[saikyoc4]

Love all the judgement from the kid who sends a rude message and then decides to "take the high road" when he can't back up his claims.

The fact is there's maybe one person from France and a couple from China trying to make body meshes along with myself. Of course they aren't perfect and have lots of issues... but at least we're trying. When I said that the Sims 4 CC community needed to step up their game, it was in regards that rather than even trying to make this stuff... 90% of the current CC is recolors and texture edits.

If you want to try to put words in my mouth that's fine. Judge me all you want, I'm just setting the record straight for anyone else reading this.
