jwofles-sims

hi there, it's been a while since i posted anything here. my page really took off during covid / lockdown where it was almost like a full-time hobby, but in the last few years i have finished my university degree, moved house several times and got a full-time 9 to 5 office job. creating takes too much of my time, and although it hurts to scrap all the fun ideas and future i had imagined, it's just not possible to keep this going - and i'd be lying to myself if i said i'd come back to it. my pc now is just collecting dust, but i at least wanted to get these files off there and quickly upload this set as i thought someone might be able to get some use from it. thank u to everyone for the support up until now, i've enjoyed creating and being a part of the community so so much. maybe i will be back one day who knows... sims 5 anyone?

anyways enough of that... here are the downloads:

1 secretobject02.package puffer jacket as an object, found in sculptures - use with a hanger cc object

2 secretobject01.package ftop01 as an object, found in sculptures - use with a hanger cc object

3 skin-normal-mouthcrease.package normal map overlay for male sims - adds a texture to skin that reacts to light. found in occult right cheek. may clip with some tight clothing due to how the normal map mesh works. credit to thisisthem for the skin texture used to make the normal map. found in the mouth crease / occult cheek category (so it requires you to have a pack that adds occults).

4 jwofles_sim-glow.package adjustable skin shine for all sims. great for taking pictures as it makes the skin look more shaded. works great with the normal map above. found in the occult eye/head category (so it requires you to have a pack that adds occults).

5 jwofles_sim-glow-full.package same as above, but is the glow-iest version. this full glow is better for certain lighting situations.

6 newpufferjacketTEST.package puffer jacket accessory. doesn't have the orange swatch in the promo picture oops. found in the ring category.

7 fbottom01.package female bottoms, to be used with an ankle high shoe

8 ftop01.package female top

(bonus - reshade presets)

9 off-new.ini it's called off but it means on

thank u @littledica for helping me with textures and renders and sanity checks

Step 1: Add a new swatch. I added a custom swatch thumbnail so it’ll be easy to identify in game which one it is.

Step 2: Next we need to change the swatch to LRLE format. 

First, you need to find the RLE2 image in warehouse of the swatch you just added. If you can’t find your RLE2 image, import some unique texture to the swatch so you can find it by looking at the previews.

For the next bit you need an empty LRLE image, which you download here - SFS / MEGA

Then, going into the data of the RLE2 image, change the type to ‘00000000’. This will make it undefined, so you can then import the empty LRLE image in the image tab (which will save s4s from crashing later), and then save your package. When you import the LRLE file, make sure you switch file explorer from .binary to all filetypes so you it lets you import the file.

Next, you go back into data and change the type to ‘2BC04EDF‘, and save again. This will make it an LRLE image.

Step 3: Next you need your colour slider swatch texture - I recommend using a bright-ish yellow or green texture as they should look the best with the sliders (red and blue textures are darker and may be more pixelated). 

Then, export your texture to either .png or an uncompressed DDS - they look the same so I recommended just using .png. 

After, just import the texture. If you get an error when importing, you may need to close and reopen your package (this should refresh the swatch and kick S4S into gear).

Step 4: Now you have a fully functional colour slider swatch! Note that all the other swatches will only work with the opacity slider like any RLE2 textures.

Here is a gif of how it works in-game (tumblr won’t let me embed it).

If you want more colour slider swatches, just hit add swatch while you have the first swatch selected and it will duplicate it.
