I haven’t been around for a while so I thought I’d go ahead and formalise it:

I’ll be on hiatus for a bit due to school and other stuff going on at the moment. If you want to message me or get in touch then feel free, just don’t expect me to post for a while.

there are also room builds with paintings that you can place when you have already built something yourself on a lot

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO THE SIMS 4!

GENERAL EDITING TIPS FOR SCENERY

My method of editing really isn’t that precise; I don’t use an action so consequently each photo is slightly different. Here are some basics though that I tend to do to each shot I post (applies to Photoshop CC 2015, but I assume this would work in any version of the software):

Curves. This is a screenshot of a typical curve layer on a recent photoset. I don’t like to make my photos too bright as I find that often doing so will cause lighter colours to wash out, and I only really ever use the RGB curve to make adjustments. Lately I’ve been trying to stay pretty true to the natural game lighting.

Vibrance. Usually I’ll ramp up Vibrance to anywhere between +60 to +100, though for interiors and build shots this may be less. Sometimes I boost Saturation +5 or +10, too.

Selective Colour. Personally I find that this is the most important element in editing photos, as it’s the tool that can completely change the mood of an image. I tend to find that the shadows ingame have a somewhat blue cast, so I’ll ramp up the yellow on the Black layer. Aside from that I tend to take each image as it comes: I’d definitely play around with this tool on various images to get to grips with it.

Gradient Layer. I use a radial gradient set to Overlay to add more depth to my photos. eversims​ has a great post about using gradients here.

Brightness/Contrast. This is what I use to get the “pastel colours” in my images: with Use Legacy ticked, I’ll finish the image off by reducing Contrast by 10, and then often reducing Brightness by 5 or so.

MARBURY HOUSE  — a blank canvas for your sims.

I did actually furnish this at one point (hence the delay in uploading) but I really didn't like how it turned out, so I did what any reasonable person would do and completely gutted the entire house. Now there are just a few “essentials” for your sims to get started.
