The Sims 3: How to Make your Sims not Ugly! Tips and Tricks for Pudding Face

Someone suggested a long time ago that I show how I make my sims, so here it is! In this video I basically just go over my personal process of making sims that look more realistic compared to the base game sims. Sliders, facial ratios, cc, and everything else can affect your sims' appearance.

how I edit my sims ts3/ts4 screenshots (day-time edition)

A helpful? guide for editing screenshots during the day (this is not so easy for me as i prefer taking screens at night but my sims can't always be in the dark so let us all struggle together ok? ok.) this tut is done in procreate on the iPad.

Before taking screenshots:

Help yourself as much as you can in-game, utilise in-game lighting as shadows/lighting is created for you

Understand good/bad composition and add variety by using different angles to make scenes look interesting

I take LOTS of photos just to end up with 1 or 2 good ones

step 1: i would use liquify to smooth out any sharp edges or paint over them

step 2: create new layer, blending mode "multiply" use the colour picker on the area you want to add shadows to, use the selection tool to draw the shadow. you can either colour fill or just shade into the area with the brush. If you colour fill you can then erase lines that are too harsh or use the smudge tool to soften them.

step 3: do this same step but for the clothing. remember shadows are not usually completly black so i use shades of blue to shade her clothes and then shades of green for the tree.

step 4: create new layer, blending mode: overlay. outline the left side of the sim this is to make the light source more prominant. as natural light is not usually just white, i picked a slight orange tint.

step 5: add more lighting to enhance the effect. *create new layer* blending mode: add, and do the same thing as step 4 but with this layer i'll add more lighting to the parts that will be affected most by the light

step 6: i edit the hair. you can look here for my in depth hair tutorial

step 7: add lighting effects *create new layer* blending mode: add. i used the default procreate brushes 'flare' and 'glimmer' [found in luminace] to immitate light rays

step 8: merge all layers, *duplicate layer* add bloom effect and change opacity and erase parts where bloom is too strong.

step 9: merge again, then go into photshop and colour grade using 'camera raw filter' then 'smart sharpen', use 'topaz labs' effect then done!

A small but very useful tutorial

written with the help of chatGPT

Why Use Upscayl?

Upscayl is a great tool for improving textures and reference images. Whether you are working on character skins, environmental textures, or UI elements, this program helps to:

Increase image resolution without losing quality

Reduce pixelation and enhance details

Improve the clarity of textures for a more realistic look

How I Use Upscayl (look at the photo)

Finding or Creating a Reference Image I start with an image that I want to enhance. This could be a low-resolution texture or a reference image for a new design.

Adding Noise for Testing To demonstrate how Upscayl improves images, I intentionally added noise to a mask texture. This allows me to compare the before and after results more clearly.

Processing the Image in Upscayl I import the noisy texture into Upscayl and choose an appropriate AI model. The program processes the image, enhancing its details and removing unwanted noise.

Examining the Results After running the texture through Upscayl, the difference is clear: the texture appears sharper, more detailed, and free of noise, making it more suitable for in-game use.

Enhancing Existing Game Textures

Apart from improving references, Upscayl is also useful for enhancing in-game textures, such as character skins. If a skin looks too blurry or low-resolution, running it through Upscayl can significantly improve its appearance without having to manually repaint details.

hey!! quick questionyboots how were you able to use plumblobs control map? thx :)

Hello! I don't remember where i've got the textures from. They were somewhere for a download but i can't seemed to find the link, so i exported them from a hairstyle and they came out seamless so they're suitable for retexturing.

I hope it will be okay if i put these textures here in order someone needs it!

Plumblobs Textures

Short tutorial of how i retexture hairs! Step by step.

Step 1: Layer control map over the original and set it as clipping mask. You've got the second image result.

Step 2: Upscale, downscale textures to fit original with its colors (red for roots, green & black for general coloring and shine, blue for tips)

Step 3: If there's a parts that don't need roots/tips you can remove it just by using green color (it's better to copy it from texture) and paint it over neccessary part with "color" layer. Don't forget to do it on a new layer!

Step 4: If there's a parts that are upturned, do the same procedure by coping layer with control map we pasted before. Upturn them and rescale. Delete necessary parts that lay over neighboring textures.

Aaand that's the result! It looks a little wonky but i did this retexture just to show the process. Maybe it's not a perfect way of retexturing but that's how i learnt by myself.

I hope it will be helpful!

Alys Rivers Hair Tutorial (Braids)

OMG YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER

First method to cleaning MERGED PACKAGES s3 cc, package files, only works for hairs, clothes, acc and shoes! By @crazysim-mary

THIS IS FOR MERGED PACKAGES

Keep in mind this is one of MANY ways I clean my cc, this method is the one I like the most but I don’t know if it is safe for all computers or easier, it is for me :)

If you want other tutorials on how I clean obj, makeup, body hair and how I cleaned my mods folder so it won’t have conflicted files, please send me a message :3 Because on how many people this helps I will make others

You need: Master controller

Open a sim in cas, choose the cc you want to uninstall and right click it. (do this with all the cc you want to uninstall but be sure to move the txt files once you have 11 to another folder because if you don’t they will be overwritten by the newest files) 

Close your game and a .txt folder named something like “ScriptError_DESKTOP-**” will have appeared (once you right clicked the cc) in your the sims 3 folder.

Open it and copy the numbers after ‘’instance’’.

Open the package that contains in this case the hairs (in your case it can be cloths or anything like that)

Click once in ‘’chunkoffset”

Paste the number on the bottom part that says instance, check the box 

Than click set and check filter activate (In this case I have 2 parts, a thumb and a casp, usually you only have CASP)

Select CASP and uncheck filter activate.

Now you have the casp and the rest of the folders, shift click the last _img (in this case, usually it has just an icon or thumb) before another casp but don’t choose that casp than just click delete on your keyboard.

After deleting you will save and it may take a while but once is saved you can check if it’s delete by doing step 6 and 7 again

This method is the one I use, it doesn’t mean it’s safe or the best it’s just the one I personally use :) You can delete the .txt folder it won’t be needed again :) 

HOPE THIS HELPED, KISSES AND COOKIES

Custom POP: Number Five

Official Funko POP! figures for The Umbrella Academy series for the first and second season.

My Custom POP! Five from Season 3

My Custom POP! Five from Season 4

How to make?

You need three official Funko Pop figures!

Batman (2022) - Bruce Wayne (Suit) #1193 Head for S3 figure, body for S4 figure

Westworld - Dr. Robert Ford #460 Body for S3 figure (thanks for the recommendation @lokinightfury)

Dune - Paul Atreides #1026 or #1493 Head for S4 figure

On youtube you can find tutorials for creating custom figures. I recommend you do some research.

Anyway, by soaking the figure in hot water you can soften the plastic of the head and it is easier to separate (beware of hot water, it will also flow into the head of the figure, so don't burn yourself!). But you might be able to separate the figure heads without it. The neck joint can then be snapped back.

If you get the Paul with #1026 you win, if you get the #1493 version you will have to repaint his eyes. Hopefully you'll have more talent than me for that, haha. 😁

I hope this helped someone, I had questions about how I managed to get/make the figures. If you make your own, I'd be happy if you share a photo.
