I'm finally going to buy a Sims game after 20 years
JoshQ replied to Doublezero's topic in Sims General Discussions
Sims 1 and 2 are limited in color/pattern customization and lack the liberty of movement that 3 has but each one is fun on its own. 4 as I said several times is boring and lacks pretty much everything that made their predecessors shine, wokeness aside. Now for Sims 3 these are the basics: 1) Update the game to version 1.67 using the superpatch which will also update your installed expansions. 1.67 is the minimum required for mods like the nraas suite, passion, okw, etc; you might hear of 1.69 which is exclusive for origin and not necessary at all and 1.7 which added 64 bit support for Mac OS 2) Install the framework for enabling mods as .package files. Content like clothes, furniture, worlds and alike could also be installed using the game’s launcher (as .sims3pack) but in resume it’s a piece of half-assed crap so better to avoid it 3) From nraas the bare minimum is to install overwatch and errortrap, both will take care of some programming errors that could ruin your game 4) Every time you add or delete a .package you have to clear the caches so the databases are refreshed with the new content I wrote this and more about optimizing this game here, you can also go here and here for more tips Also welcome! -
So the very basic textures I’m baking on blender (mostly for garments) have three components:
The ‘color’ which has all elements (straps, borders, laces, etc) delineated with low contrast lines
The ‘roughness’ in which you control how reflective each element is: black is like a mirror and white is the opposite
And the last one is the ‘normal’ that allows you to fake depth, black elements wont “protrude” while white and grays will. This image is connected to the height of a ‘bump’ node and both ‘strength’ and ‘distance’ are below .2
NOTE: Both roughness and normal can be controlled further with a ‘color ramp’ node
Combine these components with some lamps and/or an hdri image and you get some basic volume, shadows and highlights baked into the texture (plus a normalmap). As I said before most of it will be lost when converted to a 1024x1024 DDS image but what remains looks better than my several attempts of adding detail by hand.

Everything else that has volume around the hip will clip I normally create the mesh first and the textures second. This time I made it backwards: created the texture like it was a “Simple Lingerie” accessory using the uv map from the body as canvas, then projected the texture over the body mesh and carve it using the knife tool with the texture as guide. This made uv mapping easier but also making the morphs and bone paint Submitter JoshQ Submitted 11/05/2020 Category Clothing

To be totally honest with you most of the detail showed here disappears when you bake it into a 1024x1024 texture but even then what’s left is good enough
