oh and by the way since the ts4 cc tag has been overrun with ai slop, i'm using the hashtag "aifreecc" from now on. ideally it'd be nice if other anti-ai creators do the same so we don't have to keep sorting through slop.

What gshade/reshade preset do you use? Also I love all the conversions you make!
Hi dear, I already shared in this post :
💬 3 🔁 2 ❤️ 18 · [ ◉¯] Reshade and stuff [ ◉¯] · [ ◉¯] In response to @thewolfamongsims 's question!
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
[ ◉¯] Short answer : I
I linked it in an embedded link in your first ask, just in-case, but I'll put the bigger link here + add some additional info since I use some other shaders for taking screenshots, while the 'in-game' shader is identical to in the older post. For more recent screenshots I also have enabled the effects :
-Bloom and lens flare.
-Ambient light fx.
-DOF autofocus or DOF far blur (depending on what looks good).
^ [these screenshots have such enabled]
I would not recommend using the extra effects during gameplay, hurts my eyes a bit.
I'd also keep the amount of pale objects / light sources to a minimum when using those effects (especially bloom), it quickly can overwhelm and wash out the scene.
However, I know also that what I think is 'too bright' is quite different from others, due to my eyes being a bit too sensitive, so please take any advice I give with a grain of salt- my stuff looks pretty dreary most of time - it's a combination of not being to tolerate bright colours and personal aesthetic preference.
...
For other screenshots like this where there's no glowy effect, I'm just using a physical build mode object:
[light rays by natalia auditore]
Honestly, an in-game item I cannot play without, I really love it.
[Unedited]
...
Aside from/additional to that :
[Edited]
I put vignette + cool light (it is the windows photo app on the default gallery- I like the effect a lot) on a lot of the pics I end up posting here.
I have a really heavy blue-light filter on my computer screen, so often when I look at my posts again on my phone, it looks way too orange, so I do this before posting most of the time.
I don't do anything more complicated than that now, but I used to try and change the highlights/shadows balance to get that glowy effect, but just using the bloom and ambient effects in re-shade itself is honestly much better result-wise if you want a dreamy feel in game.
...
Also, thank you very much! I'm always happy to hear when people enjoy the conversions.
I try my best! (To be honest, there's a few things I ought to reconvert/update, as well as the massive amount of WIPs / to - dos, so sometimes when I finish something, it takes me a while to like it again (even though I was really burning for it before) Hearing people going out of their way to say they like the conversions lately makes me happy :3, )
Following a more informal post structure here as I wasn't too chuffed with the result and was mainly working on this as a background thing: it seems earlier SN hairs below 200 or so are similar to IN hairs in that they are quite papery and much better suited for alpha, but I gave it a try anyway with my method. Here it is!

Also decades challenge besties- I kinda get a 70s - early 80s vibe from this hair somehow, the way the fringe flips up, it's retro, isn't it? I'm getting that vibe, but I don't know much about those periods to say for sure.

BIG BASTARD MASSIVE HAIR WARNING :
This is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful converter. This was hubris.
This CC is not a CC of honour... no highly esteemed deed has been accomplished here... nothing of maxis match game specifications is here.
What is here was stupid and impractical to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a centre (the download link)... the centre of danger is here... of a particular size (130k polygons) and shape (big ass hair), and below us (download link).
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the loading speed of your game, and it can slow.
The form of the danger is an exceptional amount of polygons.
The danger is unleashed only if you download this CC digitally.
This CC is best used sparingly and left solely for characters you are currently playing and replaced/substituted when not in use.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
Okay, more serious warning.
Please be aware that if you are using this item alongside other high-polygon items, or on exceptionally detailed lots/sets, you will contribute to lag in your own game by using this item.
This item is disabled for random, and should not show up on townies, however, it is also my PERSONAL advice to you that you keep use of this hair to a minimum in each save file, and you should not assign it to sims outside of your active household or NPCs, because if multiple sims are in a public lot (especially during a social event!) wearing high-poly content, it can very quickly slow down your game (especially if the items in question are at THIS polygon count).
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
Made with version :
1.121.372.1020
Should be compatible with TS4 versions after this update (stated above) .
All previews taken in game because my computer explodes when I try to render anything.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
Posies's computer specs :
RAM : 8.00 GB (5.74 GB usable)
Graphics card : 2GB
^if you have more RAM than I do, it will probably not give you any issues while playing TS4.
Yes, I do this shit on a low-end device, I am the danger and the one who knocks, and I am the poor sod that opens the door for the danger.
I have tested this in game, and not noticed any more performance issues than I have on an average play session, however, this only goes for my game.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
This file is BIG 30MB!!!! , as you might guess by the fact it is a 130k polygon hair at LOD0.
There are correct LODs for this item, so when you zoom out, there should be less of a burden, and the LODs are reflective of the mesh. However, because LOD0 is so big, the incremental decreases for LODs 1-3 still leave them substantially large compared to EA / TS4 native content.
-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈
If you have previously downloaded :
Halwe, Angelique, or Sibyl
And have not experienced signifiant issues with your game as result of using those hairs, you are unlikely to experience anything adverse with this CC, as it is constructed in much the same way.
This is significantly larger polygon count wise than the other three, so if you did experience slight issues with any of the former hairs, please do exercise caution.

Known Issues :
Hair is weighted for movement, but is bound to look odd in some poses and situations, especially if turning the head or looking over the shoulder. If you can put up with the same crunchiness as shown in movement with my other conversions, you should be fine with this, but it is still a trade off for smoother movement that the hair has more of a chance of looking 'off' during that movement than when the hair is unweighted/stiff.
In game (live mode + re-shade)
Because of issues I've seen with specular maps recently (especially in newer updates of the game, they seem shinier than before), the speculars for these hairs have been cleared by me. If you want to reapply a suitable specular, the texture source of this hair (and the EA texture I use for most of my hair conversions) is 'YFHairEP15BluntBang'.
As always, these are conversions. They are not made for TS4, I attempt to optimise them for TS4 while retaining their character, but this does not change the fact the source meshes are designed for a different game engine, rig, and game wholly, the approaches taken in how these are constructed reflect the fact they are conversions - a hair made for TS4 in this style would probably not have as many issues as my conversions do. I try my best, but these are ultimately limited by my ability and how well the source material 'lines up' with TS4 content. I say all of this because I want you guys to know exactly what to expect when downloading so you will not be disappointed by content. I am so transparent they call me 'mud'.*
I namely included the 'B' versions due to being unable to correct clipping with large and highly rounded/bulbous foreheads in CAS, as well as some clipping with high and 'large' cheekbones when it comes to the fine forehead strands. I am sorry that at my ability level, I cannot provide the same for the large forehead sims, but at least, they can wear the 'B' versions for a similar appearance (or even to combine with more versatile acc bangs), even if it misses those particular strands.

Sorry to send in another ask but where did you get sheep eyes you use? I've been looking for some good ones everywhere
It's okay dearie! I am wcif friendly, as I struggled for a long time to find the cc I like, and since a lot of it is quite old now, it isn't circulated any-more (a lot of it is from 2019, lol) - so if I can help others find it, it makes me happy.
For Edie's eyes, it is just an overlay pupil I use over the default eyes I use (unfortunately for those, I cannot share because they're an edit of someone else's eyes I wanted to make default and I forgot who originally made them).
The pupils are see-through-pupils by simulation cowboy!

The sclera is also by serawis

In this scene, she also has another sclera over, sims3melancholic scalera #7 : https://www.patreon.com/sims3melancholic/posts/teary-eyes-101353937
I use this sclera a lot, I am very fond of weepy sims, they're very endearing to me. The tears don't work so well though, if you use many layers of blush or topical overlays like I do, there will be a ton of artifacts- however, sclera #7 is perfect, I've never had issues with it!

I'm still waiting on the final versions of the Aisling files (big bastard hair of recent posts that I complain about ) to import into S4S, so, my liege, I shall oblige thee.... the whimsical henin must be provided...... I SHALL DO IT
YESSSS!!!! SHE SHEEPY!!!!!! (i have procrastinated this for over a year apparently)
Sorta! My original versions of her were, but she's more feature wise inspired by sheep/goats the same way Yvette is featured after hares/rabbits (namely, the dichotomy between the animal pairs and what each are associated with), but specifically those white sheep and goats, now, I'm not too sheep-pilled or goat-pilled to know if all of the white sheep and goats are albino that I looked at, but very likely yes
I think that's the tag talk for now but yeah : Here's some out of context deranged midnight ramblings before i had this account about Edie and Cygne
Turns out my docs themselves from 2019-2021 are.... gone....... because they were... on my school account (incredibly stupid of me) so I can't refer back further than the post-limerence world-building retcons but yes. (yes these are deranged midnight rambles IGNORE my grammar something something he who throws the first stone). Essentially Edie is like. a changeling child + Agnus Dei while Cygne is like .... a lot of things about girl and monster I need to answer Meön's ask about Cygne lore (I have not forgotten i just must make what is my delusional ramblings into something coherent)
Updated my child Edie who is from another oc thing (Edie and Cygne are part of the same entity / vessels for it, it's a long story I will ramble inevitably)
no details
first lot of skin details (including colour overlays to adjust her from purple to peach coloured without changing the gorgeous gradient the base skin has)
skin details, tattoos, scars, makeup
custom brows and some further details in the acc section + changed the ear preset
=
my baby
(just giving the process a lil cause of that ask about the overlays and stuff I use)
Skin overlays (they're mostly topical/ small area, not full skins, sorry) :
Default /Override skin : Sammi xox 'Sage'
Okuree - Misc Face
Kismetsims - Nose, Eyebag, Cheek
Heihu (all cc archived by oldguardmaxismatchcc in the link provided)
PYXIS - 'To the bone' 'Miscellany' nose masks, + I use their 'sundown syndrome' lipsticks on basically every sim + the lip hiding overlay from 'Gossamer'
Myshunosun - Face Bits
Spookysims - miscellany lip masks
Sims 4 Nexus - Defined Nose Overlay (1 and 2)
I also have a face mask made from skin overlay #4 by magicbot that I used basically all the time, but didn't want the full body details of.
I use the 'piltover skin' by esotericasims occasionally for more cartoony sims.
That's the extent of it. Reshade definitely helps and I answered already a few times about the blushes I use which does much of the shading of the face, in my opinion.

@pocketposies333’s Mauvi | @veone's Nick | @naginatah's Chet ✨in my sim style✨ (yeess i am months too late)
i love these three oc's so much, how much care has put into them, their back stories and personalities, how their facial features are so distinct and so i was so excited to actually make hairs for them <3 and also make my own versions of them which was fun but also had me in a small crisis bc i felt like in the end i just obsessed over getting their features exactly right, forgetting its supposed to be an iteration xD but hopefully, along with the editing, my sim style got through somehow
during the importing time of the big bastard hair, i have been working on the texturing of this hair ^-^. I had to fix it (big bastard hair) a few times over (3 additional times today), so it's been very frustrating, but at least there is this I can show you this I guess?
