Defects:

Shoes look “weird” on CAS, in-game looks fine
Too bright/dark colors look awful
Potential clipping with floor and furniture also misalignment on animations, poses and interactions between sims
Pants might clip around the ankle
Clipping and bending behind the ankle depending on custom animation (normal simming is ok)
3D accessories that contain morphs, like necklaces, might deform shoes and feet

Notes:

A “simple” design that allows a slightly bigger UV isle and that reduces texture blurring (kinda)
Viper’s texture, specular, normalmap and mask were originated from a single 512x512 tiled image mixed with nodes, lamps and an environmental image; with all this I was able to add basic volume, shadows and highlights to the final result
Originally I wanted to use one of the leather patterns from the game but the scales were barely visible, maybe it’s because Sims 3 uses 256x256 patterns
Talking about patterns, you can mix them with the texture for interesting results, it just requires more work with the color wheel
“Fun fact”: generating the textures took a lot more time than modeling the shoes…
Compatible with the default body, MedBod and any other custom body mesh that follows the original leg seam
