An old version of Photoshop is fine for working with. I don't know if the OP is still around, as his post is dated January 4, but just in case: Yes, you can just make the fig leaves as textures on a nude mesh, if you make the textures look convincing enough with shading so that they look sort of 3D rather than painted on. (And they need to beware that there are a lot of programs on e-bay which do not have valid licenses and cannot be used.) That means, looking for some version of Photoshop, which is a pricey program - even if one gets it from e-bay.
#Sims 4 figleaf windows
The paint program which came with Windows won't cut it, and GIMP is not particularly easy to use. For example, he will need a program which can save an alpha layer in a DDS file. (Been there, done that!)īy the way, someone should be told upfront that this entails some expense. And for a first project, he probably will be able to complete in in a week or two, after many efforts and much frustration. This will not yield the result he really wants, but it is doable. Once texturing is mastered (after much frustration and hair pulling), one can start getting fancy with new meshes. Just paint a fig leaf on an existing texture and leave it at that. However, if he wants to proceed, I would suggest the basic texturing tutorial at The Sims Resource:įor a beginner, a fig leaf should be nothing more than a re-texturing of the bottom brief - or better yet, the nude bottom. Linking to tutorials is far from helpful, and is likely to lead to more frustration. I am starting to get the hang of meshing, but my creations are far from perfect. But it took me a long time to get to that point - after much frustration. I am by no means and expert, but I can whip out textures pretty fast. Similarly, converting a mesh from TS2 to TS3 is no small project because one not only has to know the TS3 tools, but the TS2 tools as well. It's better to tell someone what they need to hear rather than what they want to hear.Ĭreating a new mesh is something I would not encourage a rank beginner to do.
Without taking it step by step and starting with easier projects first, he will become frustrated and discouraged. I think you are doing Geoff a major disservice by encouraging him to START on this type of project.

#Sims 4 figleaf skin
Otherwise if TS3 has an underwear mesh that is skin tight you could recolor/clone that to have the fig leaf. It was one of those hidden ones, and I don't remember which EP. TS2 has a fig leaf clothing item for males and females, which could be extracted and converted. There are a lot of sims2 bodyshop meshing tutorials that still apply to TS3. I don't believe there are any specific tutorials for clothing in TS3, but the meshing aspect is similar to objects. Geoff, clothing meshing is a bit harder than objects since there are joints. Next time you decide to be helpful please post some links to useful tutorials. Wow tjstreak, can you be any more encouraging? With help like that no one will ever even start meshing. Thank you all very much, and I LOVE this site! I'm just asking how exactly I should proceed in making it for myself. I'm not asking anyone to make this for me. I have already created a detailed png image of the fig leaf I want to use, so hopefully I can put that to use in my endeavor.īy the way, this is NOT a request. I want it to act like pants, or a shirt, etc. I want to make it so that it acts like a piece of clothing - that is, you can take it off or put it on, it's not part of the skin like nipples, body hair, or the male/female special parts. I don't know if what I am trying to do would involve making a mesh, a pattern, or whatever.
I have never created a single thing for the Sims, the Sims 2, nor the Sims 3. If you, for some reason, don't know what I'm talking about, simply visit Wikipedia's entry on the subject: What I am trying to do is make a fig leaf covering so that I can use it in the same way that Adam and Eve are always depicted. Hey everyone, what's going on? I wish I could think of a better title for this thread, but alas, my mind slips. Newb Question: Fig Leaf Adam and Eve Style
