Michael doesn't mind an occasional occurrence of flashing pink soup - magenta is his favourite colour, so it just happens to go really nicely with his aesthetic

he's trying to look tough to hide the fact he's scared shitless of moths and it just so happens that there's a massive (read: not massive) one flapping around a nearby lightbulb right this second, much to his horror
hi! how exactly did you create the sclera accessory recolor? i would want to create my own but i have no idea how to do it :D
hi anon,
it's not really all that much different from recolouring anything else, but i'll try and remember the process :D
i don't know exactly how much you already know about retexturing, so apologies if this comes off a little patronising or over-explaining, or under-explained and vague. feel free to ask if you need more info! I'm writing this from memory so if any of the stuff about importing seems wrong let me know and I'll actually go check the details.
explanation ended up longer than I expected, so I've put it under the cut
1) Getting your textures
Open a retexture of the accessory sclera in simPe. Go to the txmt, and export it as a .png via right clicking the texture preview and selecting the option for export. this is your base texture.
If you want to base your retexture off an existing sclera, do the same to get the texture for that, too
Alternatively Evannamarie shared a .psd doc in the original download as a template so you could use that as a base if you like.
2) Making the recolour
Go into bodyshop and start a new project. Select a an accessory sclera colour and use that as the base. Add a more useful description if you like, but don't actually do anything else here, just import the recolour into the game. you could theoretically do all your work in bodyshop but it's shite at handling transparencies so wouldn't recommend it. You can close bodyshop after that
3) texture time
Open your base texture in your picture editing software of choice (as long as it supports transparency and .png files, and preferably layers). I was using photoshop at the time. The accessory sclera texture is 1024x1024 in size. Sims 2 eye textures are typically 512x512, so if you want to use an existing sclera texture to retexture with, you'll need to resize it (but this will leave it looking blurry). I basically carefully painted over the whole thing manually with a small brush to get it looking how I wanted in the end lol
Note that with the .png, anything that's transparent on the image will be transparent on the sclera accessory, so be careful with the shadows and shape. For the shadows I just erased all the original shadows and drew them back in to the shape I wanted with a big soft brush and heavy use of gaussian blur on its own layer, beneath the sclera texture itself. You can faff around with layer masks and whatnot but I just erased everything down to shape (because it was easier haha).
once you've got to a point where you want to text the texture, save it (would recommend saving each version individually in case you fuck up)
4) import that texture
Open the recolour package you made in bodyshop (it'll be in savedsims folder) with simPe. Go to the texture image (txtr), and select import dds, and select your texture from wherever you saved it. Select no filter, and DDS3 (or 5, just not DDS1) from the dropdowns. Select import and your texture is done. Save the package.
5) IMPORTANT!! SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF PAIN!
Delete the accessory.cache from your documents/EA Games/Sims 2 (whatever version) folder. If you don't do that, your changes won't show up and you'll be wondering why it doesn't look any different. (I learnt this the hard way lmao)
6) Testing
Lauch the game to see how it looks. Get a sim to pull faces where the eyes go all big and move about, see what you think of your retexture. Make note of anything you'd like to change (like damn, does not need that much shadow, or needs to be less grey)
7) Need changes?
If you're not happy, make changes in your photo editing picture, re-import the texture as dds in simPe to your recolour package, delete the accessory.cache and check in-game again. If you're anything like me, three eternities later you might be somewhat happy with the result, then it's ready to make any other colours you wanted and give everything proper filenames etc.
as requested by @croiduire, this evening I bring you all a sim - here's Vivek, reporting for download. I've packaged him in full CC (left) and no CC (right) formats. The CC version will require a couple of accessory meshes to work properly (see the keep reading), the no CC version will have whatever your default S4 skintone, thick brows and brown eyes are, and comes with basegame clothing/hair.
FULL CC VERSION - NO CC VERSION
Hope you enjoy :D
big long CC list and notes under the cut
NOTE #1: you will need the mesh for glasses #18 from these for his glasses to work properly, and this mesh for the sclera accesory to work properly
NOTE #2: There's a bit of CC i never released in here named bd7da1ae_enosewrinkles, it's a nose fold shadow if you were wondering what it is, I do apologise for the file name lol

GoS reupload time #6: Now here's something I had to download from my own uploads folder to work out what it actually was. This was an easter event gift of some sort? I think it might've been a scavenger hunt type deal, but it was from 2014 and is a 3t2 conversion of a sims 3 store top for AM in seven (not 6!) colours.
NOTE: THIS IS OLD CC. The file names are full of unnecessary punctuation such as brackets, dashes and spaces (which was the style at the time). You're probably going to want to remove all of that for optimal file loading times (would recommend a bulk file rename tool). One day I'll get around to replacing the uploaded files but today is not that day.
GoS reupload time #5: GoS is back up! But I'm still gonna post my old downloads here too to keep them in one place (a place where photobucket can't eat the preview pictures). This one was my blind date event gift for Chiaroscuro from... 2015 I think? Featuring 5 lots of wall and floor tiles, two 3t2 conversions for EF, a 3t2 conversion for kids and some freckles.
THAT SAME OLD NOTE YET AGAIN: THIS IS OLD CC. The file names are full of unnecessary punctuation - largely just dashes in these ones but you're still probably going to want to remove them for optimal file loading times (would recommend a bulk file rename tool). One day I'll get around to replacing the uploaded files but today is not that day.
GoS reupload time #4: This was my Christmas in July 2013 gift to Dikatze. Here you'll find a bunch of horns as accessories from Skyrim, a retexture/alpha edit of Raon M41, some walls, some eyes (which I re-sclera'd here), some houseplants converted from Oblivion and a helmet converted from Fallout New Vegas (PLEASE BE WARNED: the reflection on this only works if you don't have seasons, which I didn't at the time. it's been on my projects list for years to make another reflection I'm satisfied with but haven't got around to it yet. Still looks alright without though). All meshes included.

GoS reupload time #3: this was my Christmas in July 2012 gift to Nabila. This one's got some wooden flooring, retextures of some Sims in Paris cabinets, some clothing, some coins converted from Skyrim (these have probably been done better by tons of other people since) and some cushion retextures (apparently I had a lot more free time back then lmao). There's also some sand terrain paints I have no memory of creating but they're in there too. All meshes are included, and I believe the model sim for the dresses is included too as a bonus.

GoS reupload time #2: Rugs! 40 of them! I think I made these for one of the treasure hunts back in... 2012? It was a very long time ago. Some of these I actually still use a ton to this day, a couple of them of them... aren't what I'd go for now but hopefully there's something for everyone in there. There's two meshes, one is repo'd to the other (I think the smaller one is the main mesh) and they're both included.

I can not remember for the life of me *exactly* what I've posted to GoS over the years, but I do still have all the links on my box account so will be posting things I think were uploaded as and when I find the time, starting with these because I still had the previews to hand.
Here's 9 assorted recolours of a wall originally by Nymphy (and iirc the set wasn't available at the time, so I've re-reuploaded it and the rest of the walls in that set under the cut).
GET 'EM HERE
the original wall looked like this (i swear it is different to my teal recolour lol):
and can be found with a bunch of other art deco walls by Nymphy here

got struck with the sudden dire need to remake my man Radomir out of nowhere yesterday, because apparently the versions i created of him in 2012, 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2023 weren't enough. he got a haircut and aged a few years this time
never feel bad about recycling content everyone lmao
Vivek has spent the past 40 years as a tailor. An expert in the world of fabric, there's not a single shape of person he can't create clothing that looks sharp as hell for and that includes you, even if you happen to be an inter-dimensional impossible nightmare creature of some unfathomable description - he's seen (and suited) it all before.
