lmao a $42 tutorial to make CC...
ANYHOO:
Requirements You will need: Sims 4 Studio Photoshop (however you choose to acquire it), or an alternative DDS Plugin (unless you choose to save files as PNGs) Blender (any version between 2.76 and 4.3 - I use 3.3) The Basics
Recolours and Textures
The easiest thing to start with is a recolour. If you have some knowledge of photo editing software, this should be fairly straightforward, but if you’re new to it, the following tutorial covers it well: Recolouring Tutorial - Softpine
If you’re feeling confident with your recolours, but want to add a little extra to your textures, it’s worth checking out specular and normal files.
Speculars are my favourite thing for elevating CC (by that I mean covering it in glitter and sequins). This tutorial covers the basics:
Speculars - Teanmoon
Normal maps (bumpmaps) are a little different. They can give a 3d texture to an item without altering the mesh (within reason). Teanmoon also has a tutorial on that:
The Bump Map - Teanmoon
If you’re feeling extra (I know I often do), you can use emission maps to make your item glow and/or flash/twinkle.
Get to know emission the map - S4S
Meshing
Meshing is a little more complicated (or perhaps not, depending on what your strengths are. I recommend starting with the Blender Donut Tutorial (pick the one that matches your Blender version) to familiarise yourself with Blender. I didn’t do this. I went in raw from using Milkshape for over a decade (don’t start me on Milkshape lol) I would have learned faster if I did…
Once you’ve navigated the majestic plate of donuts, you might be ready for a touch of frankenmeshing! This tutorial covers the basics really well, as well as a touch of texturing:
How to Make CC Clothing for The Sims 4 - Powluna
@joliebean also has some great tutorials covering some of the more technical details.
Going forward:
So you’re feeling confident and want to mesh from scratch! There are 3980193890381 CC creators and a limited pool of meshes to frankenmesh, so you may want to create something new. Trust me, start with earrings and work your way down from there.
For the alpha girlies:
Start to Finish Marvelous Designer Tutorial by owlplumbob
I'm also happy to answer any questions people might have as they're starting out. I don't know everything, nor am I one of the top-tier CC creating girlies by a long shot, but I'll do what I can and try to sign post if I don't know.

@cerberus-cc 's eyes n12 as default made gameplay friendly
finally some eyes that i like the light swatches as much as i like the dark ones woohoo. full credit for the iris goes to cerberus with their beautiful lenses n12. this is those eyes with my pondskater sclera + catchlight 21 to make them a bit more maxis and gameplay friendly. they also work well with the rest of the sclera overlays if youd like a more dramatic look
18 swatches + 55 addon swatches (full swatch preview under cut) heterochromia for all ages (found in right dimple, freckles, occult right cheek)
download (gdrive)
for some reason the thumbnail for one of the childrens versions of heterochromia just wont work. idk why and ive tried to fix it but i gave up </3

THE SIMS 3 STORE PRE-INSTALLED
Today marks 25 years of The Sims. Since EA forgot TS3 exists, I’m releasing the entire The Sims 3 Store as an Anniversary Gift. It's all pre-installed and works flawlessly!
It comes with all available fixes and collection folders I’ve personally created for every set. You'll get over 5000 new Buy/Build and CAS items, 11 new worlds, and tons of new gameplay!
INSTRUCTIONS
Go to "Documents/Electronic Arts" and rename the "The Sims 3" folder (or move it).
Create a new folder and name it "The Sims 3" (or whatever the name is in your language).
Extract the contents of the ZIP file in "The Sims 3." Now launch the game.
You'll have to adjust your setting again. Don't forget to disable the in-game Store so you don't get duplicates.
Quit the game. Copy the "Saves" folder from the folder you have previously renamed. You can also copy your Mods and CC in package format.
CAUTION
Never copy over or overwrite the DCCache folder.
If you have content installed through the Launcher (Sims3Pack), you'll have to reinstall it.
I strongly recommend you don't install things through the Launcher from now. It already has a lot of content and it is a known fact the Launcher becomes more and more unstable the more content it has to handle.
Since the entire Store has been decrapified, if you want to install lots or world that contain Store content, you'll have to decrapify those too using MATY's TS3 Recompressor.
If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to me. I've put a lot of effort into making the installation process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Dag Dag!
