- What is a Normal Map?
A normal map is part of the Texture set of a modern game character. Its rather silly sounding name derives from what a normal is in geometry, which is a vector perpendicular to a surface which indicates this said surface's direction.
In more simple words, it's this: Wikipedia
The use of this texture is to give meshes with simple geometry more fake-3D details to work with the lighting of the scene.
Usually, games will include a normal map for the body (skin) as well, like The Sims 3, but not The Sims 4. Since this has always bothered me, and my friend JWofles also, we tried to create at least a skin detail to use for screenshots. And we did it! - Usage of this Mod;
This is a Scar skin detail, therefore it might not work if you don't own Get Famous Expansion Pack or Vampires Game Pack. It is advised for screenshots only and not regular gameplay since there's some slight clipping with skin-tight Maxis clothing, but you're obviously free to do whatever you want with it! This mod is meant to be used for the Male Maxis Muscle Skin Detail, it will work with custom skin tones and skin textures but the muscles might be misaligned;
Share your screenshots with me and Jwofles using the mod, we're curious to see how you guys are going to use it! Happy Simming!
