Over two years, forever lasting, cc project of mine has come to an end. About a time! Gosh, never again. So now I present you several pairs of ears for your fantasy / sci-fi / supernatural sims.
UPDATE 4.10.2018: Lowpoly ear versions added. (You don’t need to care about this unless you worry for your game performance or/and want maxis match versions)
x These ears work as accessories which cover the sim’s own ears
x There are 8 pairs of ears with 6 different categories, so all together 48 files
x All 48 packages can be added to the Mods folder but is not recommended
x Works with any skintone (pale, brown, blue, green and so on)
x Works for Teen-to-Elder & Both Genders
x Accessory categories are: Glasses|Necklace|Earring|Hat
x Skin Detail categories are: Mouth Crease| Right Cheek Mole
x Compatible with: Human|Alien|Vampire
x Disabled for Random
x All LODs included
x There are two downloads: High Quality/Highpoly version & Maxis Match/Lowpoly version (you can have one or the other, not both in your game!)
x You must unrar/unzip the downloaded rar/zip files to your mods folder
x The download includes ‘Read Me’ file which you should read if you experience problems!
x The sims’ own ears need to be shrunk so they don’t clip with these ears
x Certain hairs cause the ears’ tone turn darker
x Certain textures of hairs and beards might ‘leak’ on the ears causing smudges
x cc skin-details/tattoos which cover the ears will look blurry and bad
x Unfortunately, these cc ears do look bland/flat with no shades
I couldn’t do anything about the textures because the uv space on the skin is extremely limited. I tried to find a large free spot, but there is no such spot. But I’ve done my best to keep the issues to a minimum.
There are two different versions of all the fantasy ears, Highpoly and Lowpoly:
x The polycount of highpoly versions are around 9000-3000 polys
x The polycount of lowpoly versions are around 1500 and less
Which one should you download?
x Highpoly a.k.a High quality version looks smooth and ‘perfect’ and are preferable for pictures. They work fine for game play too if your computer is moderately a strong machine
x Lowpoly versions a.k.a Maxis match are best for game play. While they don’t look smooth and you can clearly notice sharp angles in them, they match the maxis style of sims 4 and perform well even on low-end computers
You CANNOT have both versions in your mods folder!! They’ll override each other. However, you can mix and match.
x Feel free to convert these ears to sims 2 & 3 or any other game! (I appreciate if you let me know after you’ve converted them so I don’t have to convert them myself o(*≧▽≦)
x Anyone is able to make blushes for these ears (If you need me to provide you info on how to do that, or give you detailed uv-maps, please contact me)
x Lastly, anyone is free to do what ever with these ears and re-upload them for the community. So play around with them, make something new out of them and share!
x Give credit when credit is due
x To all the artist behind these designs!
x @smubuh for the templates!
x @nolan-sims ! for trying to make textures for these even if it was complicated
x @litttlecakes ! for preview ideas ‘cuz the designing part of my brains is dead
x @qvoix ! for the support, my best friend (˘❥˘)
x All the cc creators whose cc I used in the previews!
x And most importantly the wonderful sim community for the feedback and for being there for me (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)◞
~Thank you all, I hope you enjoy these~
