Updates & improvements ~ Skins, body presets, eyes & makeup sliders (Patreon)
Content
Hello! This turned into a bit of a project, but it was worth it! ( ^ヮ^ )۶ In short, I've updated skins to be more HQ and makeup to work with the new sliders, as well as made some dependent files standalone & improved all body presets.
Skins & skin details
Technically different: Before, CAS textures were created as compressed DDS (RLE2), while now the game & Sims4Studio has switched to uncompressed DDS (LRLE).
Visual changes: All my updated skins & skin details look much smoother and higher quality.
Note: File sizes are larger.
Body presets
Technically different: Body presets were re-made using Modifiers rather than Sculpts. Thumbnails have been re-made using these beautiful mannequins by WMS. Presets' slider values have been adjusted.
Visual changes: You can now change freely between all of my body presets. Presets that are made with Sculpts can get "stuck" on the sim after you've applied it once, but this bug is now gone. The thumbnails are more clear & generally they just look and work better.
Note: I don't think the game will recognize any of them (except maybe Serena) as the same file, so if your sim already uses one of my body presets, it will have to be re-applied.
Eyes
Technically different: Textures have been re-exported and re-imported using the new LRLE format.
Visual changes: My Moony eyes now override all eye swatches, and my Crybaby eyes are finally available as defaults, too.
Note: Bigger file sizes.
Makeup
Technically different: Textures changed to LRLE.
Visual changes: All sliders (opacity, hue, etc.) available for all makeup.
Note: Bigger file sizes.
