Sims 4 Icon Patterns

Heeey, so, I really enjoyed making icon patterns for my pyjama set, and figured others might find them useful too? idk! There's 17 swatches in total, each made up of Sims 4 icons. They're all seamless (or at least they should be, but lmk if you run into any issues) and in PNG format.

I wanted it be like a clearer version of my last reshade Monaco so it has less grain, and no comic affect but has the same color/tone  

I included a picture of what it should look like with all the shaders, I don’t know if gshade includes them in its installation but I’m using Prod80 shader pack,  qUINT full bloom , Arcane Bloom, and Pirate Bloom 

F1 toggles on/off atmospheric density

i made a reshade preset for the sims 4! this preset makes your game feel much brighter, whilst having the colors unsaturated to give it a lovely warm feel :3

i decided to change to reshade version 3.0.8 & found out that my other reshade, pixel perfect, doesn’t work on this version D:

so i thought i’d make a new & improved preset that i absolutely LOVE! once again, there are two versions, v1 has MXAO and v2 doesn’t. i’d recommend using v2 in game & v1 for screenshots but that’s just my preference :)

- made on reshade version 3.0.8 (this is the tutorial i used to download it) (not sure if it will work on other versions)

Violet 🍑 a GShade preset for the Sims 4

download (dropbox)

So, I made a new GShade preset, and I think I have an addiction, but here u go. I would suggest u to use it for gameplay and screenshots.

Turn off edge smoothing in game settings for the MXAO to work correctly

I have lighting mods installed milk thistle, no blu, no glo

If you don’t have GShade installed, you can find a tutorial here 🌸

Tou, don’t re-upload anywhere else and don’t claim it as your own

Now go, and make some beautiful screenshots of your game.

Realistic Vibrant Preset 

~A custom Gshade preset~ Hiii! I’m back with my very own Gshade preset. It has been made to be used in CAS, mainly. I wanted a realistic but not an overly edited preset with a mix of shadows but also more sharpness and color (besides using HQ Mod). If you’re not familiar with Gshade, you can watch this Tutorial here on how to install and use it. Click

+ If you want this preset to look like 100% in my previews, remember to turn off edge smoothing. Otherwise some of the effects won’t work + I’m using this CAS lighting Mod by sqwee click Effects used AmbientLight Deblur FakeHDR Fast Sharp FXAA Levels MagicDOF MXAOFFXIV PandaFX Pirate_Bloom

𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 🍎 | ɢꜱʜᴀᴅᴇ 4.0.4 ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇᴛ | ᴛʜᴇ ꜱɪᴍꜱ 4

I’ve been wanting to create a signature preset for myself and to share, and I think this one may be it! With that being said, this preset will be on my top priority list regarding maintenance and improvements from here on out.

The shaders are aesthetically balanced, the scenery is bright, clear, and crisp, and your Sims will look more alive than ever!

Whether you spend your time in CAS, build/buy mode, or game play, 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 🍎 has your back!

I hope you enjoy this preset as much as I do! 😘

Custom Rig / SimRipper Tutorial

Hi hello, welcome to todays lecture! Nah it's real simple even if it doesn't look it, I promise! I'm gonna go ahead and assume you have some basic knowledge of Blender/pose making for this tutorial, so I won't be going over how to set up your rigs or anything. Feel free to ask me any questions though! My previous pose tutorial is here if that's what you're looking for.

Disclaimer: I use this process to rip sims for posing only, idk if it's different for making renders 'cause that I ain't my jam. Although I assume it's pretty similar.

You're gonna need Blender (I use 2.79b but I'm pretty sure the newer version works okay for posing too) and SimRipper which you can get here...

Blender (2.79b) SimRipper

Some of you might know this, but I discovered it on accident about a year ago and wanted to share for those that don’t!

So you want to pose your sims while they are holding a drink, but can’t find a pose pack/don’t know how to make a pose pack w/accessories.  Say no more fam:

Does this sound familiar? You want to take several screenshots from the exact same angle be it for a story, a lookbook, or a CC preview. You tab into free camera mode, take your screenshot, tab out, change poses, tab into free camera mode, and struggle to remember/find the exact camera angle again. Lather, rinse, rage-quit repeat. I did struggle with that. I looked and asked around for a solution, even if it was yet another mod that did what EA failed to do. One day someone dropped a hint, there was a way to set the camera postion, but they didn’t tell how. I used all my google-fu skills and finally found out how to do it. It’s a lifesaver. A fair warning: If you’re anything like me, you’ll use it whenever you take screenhots from now on, just because you can.

Here’s how you can take a picture series like this.

Or this.

1. How to set hotkeys

Press TAB to switch into free camera mode.

Set-up your shot. If you’re happy with it,…

Press CTRL+ 5-9 (top row, not numpad) to save the camera angle.

You can save 5 different camera positions. They’ll be assigned to that hotkey until you overwrite them. Although key 4 is said to be usable as camera hotkey, too it doesn’t work for me.

2. How to use the hotkeys

Press TAB to switch back into free camera mode.

Press key 5-9 and the camera will move back to the saved position. Voila!

Tip: As long as you’re in game mode zoom out as far as you can before re-entering TAB mode. This way all faded-out objects will be visible in TAB mode again. Hit TAB, then your hotkey and enjoy a little tracking shot.

no, this is not my 11th and 12th preset. yes, i can count

anywayyyyy here are the presets i use that i thought i’d share. they’re pretty much only used for screenshots,,,aka my pc fans kick up when i use them.

the only shortcut is chromakey for the cas version so you can easily take transparent screenshots if you please

i also use lighting mods so if these look crazy in your game,,,my bad

i made these on gshade so i have no idea if they will work on reshade nor do i know how to convert it to reshade,,,so if anyone knows feel free to tell me and i will get it done 👁

and a big thank you to @simmerstellar for testing the cas preset for me!

Working on a more Maxis Match redo of some of my old wooden items, starting with my wooden restaurant items. I put together this palette from a bunch of EA wood tones, and I thought I’d share!

This palette can be applied over an existing wood texture, or you can use the Maxis Match texture I’ve included.

The .zip contains: a PNG of the colors, a set of Photoshop swatches, an S4S palette, and a completely tileable Maxis Match wood grain texture you can use as a base.

Enjoy! Please credit and tag me if you use it, so I can see what you make with it!
