livin' la vida loca

i can get on tumblr and download sims 2 cc for days without hitting any kind of paywall. the audacity is at an all-time high with sims 4. people out here making builds and sims with nothing other than other people's free cc or the actual GAME'S own items and paywalling, out here paywalling holiday cc to the point where it can't even be used for the actual holiday season once it's free. and then you have EA selling crumbs at an outrageous price and still never giving us even half of the gameplay we've had in previous games, and it's all become so normalized that the vast majority of the simming universe is desensitized to being ripped off and scammed at every turn. no, waiting for that pack to go on sale isn't any better, just like waiting for that cc to be free isn't any better, because let's be honest- we're keeping up a cycle of support by feasting on scraps merrily. and if you stop demanding a meal, all you'll ever get is scraps. if we'd never gotten meals to begin with maybe it would make more sense. but this game has been out since 2000 and let's not pretend that game ep's looked like this in the past, let's not forget the massive gameplay that tied into other packs and the base game and let's not forget the outstanding quality of mods and custom creations the community has produced from the start FOR FREE.

Ymir - always on duty

Are you tired of your sims' 3D, skin detail eyelashes conflicting with their rings and other accessories? Are you fed up with downloading certain rings and other accessories only to find out you can't wear them with some skin details?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, this trick is for you! One of my dear OCs just got engaged and I found a beautiful ring for her! But when I put it on her, her eyelashes turned silver which made me want to throw large objects but then I remembered that Sims 4 Studio is our friend!

Take your eyelashes (we're probably all if not most of us, using Kijiko's skin detail version or the MM skin detail eyelashes but I only did this with Kijiko's) and switch them to a new category! I hardly ever use Occult Details so that's where we're going:

There's plenty of options to choose from here, it just depends on what you use and don't use.

Copy the file you want to relocate into your S4S mods folder and open it up:

Click on categories, find your Occult options, apply to all swatches, save the package, and BOOM!

*Note: The reason I used Kijiko's sunglasses version rather than the skin detail version is because for whatever reason, the skin detail version is tied to rings so even when I moved it, I got silver eyelashes with the ring she was wearing.

I used vampire cheeks because again, i'm not using anything in there that would conflict!

I did this same method with her engagement ring because Occult features stay on no matter what outfit you're in. So it saves time rather than adding the engagement ring to every outfit (unless you don't want them sleeping in it, makes sense).
