Hello Simmers! I finally updated my Maxis Match eyes with all of WildlyMiniatureSandwich’s Sandwich Colours! There were a few things that bothered me about the last eyes. Some colors looked too similar to each other, along with some slight pixelation with a handful of them. These eyes are more plain than the last ones without the additional coloring I did, but I managed to fix everything that was irking me! :]
As usual:
Enabled for all ages
Disabled for random
BGC
Available as contacts/”face paint” if you don’t want to clutter your CAS eye selection. Also available for if anyone has the problem of the colors switching up for your toddlers and kids.
If anyone has downloaded the first version of these eyes, make sure to replace the old files with this new version! c:
THESE EYES ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD! Click here to check out the post!
Here’s a preview of the eyes I have been working on!
They’re literally the base game EA eyes, but I’ve used WildlyMiniatureSandwich’s Unnatural Colour Palette to recolor them, along with giving each of them the slightest splash of extra coloring so they wouldn’t look too flat (if that makes sense).
I’ve been craving recolors of the base game eyes for the longest time. Though however much I have scoured the internet, I just couldn’t find what I was looking for exactly. I did once find base game eye recolors that I ADORED, but the creator was long inactive and the download link was broken! I eventually got tired of searching, and began to learn how to use Sims4Studio to finally make the eyes I’ve yearned for!
CC I’ve used other than my eyes are Kijiko’s 3D Lashes.
I made this absolute ages ago (months ago, actually), but I couldn’t be bothered to make previews at the time, so I never uploaded it. Anyway, I finally got around to finishing it, so here we go!
So here they finally are; all the Sandwich Colours for you guys to use in any recolouring you want!
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DOWNLOADING :
There are several files available including actions, palettes, swatches and thumbnails and it’s important to read this before downloading and using so that you know how to use each one properly.
FIRST UP, THE COLOUR OPTIONS:
Obviously, you can use these colours for anything you want but I personally only use the Unnaturals and Naturals for hairs and the Unnaturals and Neutrals for clothes and objects.
NOW ONTO THE FILES I’VE PROVIDED:
Sandwich Palettes -
These are just jpegs of all the colours with the names and hex codes for each one, similar to the above preview images.
Sandwich Swatches -
These are three separate Photoshop swatch sets, one for each Sandwich palette, that you can import into Photoshop and use for ... well, whatever you want basically lol
Sandwich Actions -
This file includes three action sets for Photoshop action sets, one for Sandwich each palette, that will make your recolouring a hell of a lot easier.
These actions were all designed to be used with EA’s ‘white’ hair texture. If you're recolouring an object, clothing item, or children and toddlers hairs that doesn’t have a ‘white’ option, simply use the lightest colour texture and recolour it in Photoshop to be as close to the ‘white’ hair texture as possible.
For example, when recolouring children's and toddler’s hairs, I use the dirty blonde colour and change it using Photoshop’s Hue/Saturation layer adjustment option with these settings:
Sandwich Thumbs -
Inside this file you’re find a bunch of pngs that you might be a little confused by but bear with me, they’re going to make your recolouring life SO much easier.
All you do is import the thumbnail into S4S’s Custom Thumbnail section and then use the eyedropper tool (right click) to select the colour from the thumbnail like so:
Trust me, doing all your swatch colours this way will not only save so much time rather than typing out all the hex codes yourself but it’ll also save you making mistakes with so many numbers and letters.
All The Things -
This file has all four of the above options in one file. Much easier than downloading them separately if you want them all =)
WHEN USING MY COLOURS PLEASE:
Keep in mind that I do plan to recolour the rest of the EA hairs. You can do them if you want but just know that I’m still going to do them myself either way
The actions are designed to work only with DDS files, using them with PNGs will result in your entire sim being turned the same colour as the action. If you prefer to use PNG format, you will need to manually remove all the coloured areas that are supposed to be transparent.
Use the provided hex codes (or thumbs) for your swatches in S4S when recolouring hairs so that they match with any other hairs that have been recoloured with my colours.
Remember to change the SecondaryDisplayIndex number when recolouring hairs. All of my Unnaturals start at 200, all of my Naturals start at 400, and all of my Neutrals start at 600. If you do not change the SecondaryDisplayIndex number, your swatches will be all over the place in game.
Give credit where credit is due. A tag would be greatly appreciated so I can see what you’ve made and download it myself =D
As per usual, please read my TOU before using and if you have any problems just let me know.
