hell’s paradise - 04.

thank you for the kind words :) of course i can make a tutorial, it's actually super simple!

1: Open up Sims 4 Studio and press CTRL+Shift+C, like you would in-game. Type 'object-preview' into the Cheat Console.

2: Search 'bassinet' and click on the Warehouse on the studio tab. The resources in red are EA's default newborn skin.

3: Shift+click to select multiple resources - make sure the instance numbers match the ones in the pic above. Then click on 'Batch Export'. Don't change the file name from 'export.binary'.

4: This is how the images should be named after saving, for reference. (this step is really just an excuse to sneak in a lil pic of my son hamster, heh)

5: Once you've got your images, close the object previewer. Click on 'Tools' to create an empty package.

6: Click 'Batch Import' and select the images you've just saved.

And you've got your default replacement package! Now you can export the images (as .dds to preserve the alpha channel!) and edit them however you like, then re-import them.

The two light grey DST images are the normal maps (just a diaper by default). The pink ones are specular maps (just the eyeball). The greyscale ghost-looking ones are the actual overlay texture.
