If you want the shadowing and contours from the base texture, duplicate it, place on top and set as either overlay, soft light, or hard light and adjust the opacity.

Thank you! That way my recolors won’t come out looking like plastic, lol

I recolored the yellow bassinet from in game, but I can’t find the other colors! Your Recolors are so nice, but I can’t find the rest of the bassinets to Recolor. Help!

In the FullBuild file, all 4 colors should be named in sequence so if you find one and then click Instance at the top to sort it, they’ll all be together.

saudade-sims4 said: Mel, some recolors aren’t in sequence. The shower I’m trying to do had 5 numbers in build files 7 and 8.

You’re right, some of the files aren’t together, not even in the same file for that matter. I should mention that too. The bassinet specifically is all in order in the same package though.

I should have known you would know for sure, as you are the game file guru 😉

Here’s what I’m working on, the “Under the Sea” shower/bathtub. I thought I had them all ready to go, but when I put them in game they became really pixelated. Anyone have any tips on how to fix the pixelation issues?

The last photo shows what it looks like in photoshop. It’s not pixelated there.

Have you seen one of these yet? I thought it was funny 🙂

So, with this new found way of quickly exporting the img files I went and had a bright idea (I say with a somewhat sarcastic tone). I’m exporting all the img files from FullBuild 6, 7, and 8 into one folder. Then I can just search one folder and have the img files right away rather than having to…

OMG!!!! YES! SIGN ME UP!!!!!! 

Er, I think I got a little excited. Let’s try this:

Mel, what a kind offer 🙂 Please consider this a sincere and solemn request for the zips.

FYI – Faster Way to Export DDS Files in S4PE

So, I’ve been saving each dds file individually copying and pasting its instance as its name but lo and behold the great plasticbox has bestowed grand time saving knowledge upon me once again.

You’ve found all the files you need to recolor. Click the first one, hold shift, click the last one, to…

All Hail plasticbox!!

At the risk of sounding really douchey, I’m just going to go ahead and say this:
If you’re one of the only handful of people that is getting to create NEW objects for the game, either provide multiple color options (that people will actually like) or, and preferably, allow recolors.

I mean, I get…

Exactly! 

I wish I could reply to my own posts in response to other reply’s. lol “saudade-sims4 said: I wish I could like this more than once!” I guess you feel my pain then! lol

Yes! I never knew what a pain a mouse could be till I started fiddling around with this sims/photoshop stuff! We’ll have to do something or we really will end up with carpal tunnel, just like you said previously.

sims4studioofficial:

We’ve released the new Monty preview for the Sims 4 Studio! There are many amazing enhancements including (but not limited to) increased performance and localization! Check out the full list of changes and download it here

would it be possible for you to make your beds non-default? they’re great but I would like to use both because I use the original quite a bit. :P

It’s not possible yet to make a recolor of a base game object non-default. As soon as it is, I’ll put them as for download like that. Sorry.
