Naruto Fox Eyes for Sims 4


Lately I worked on some custom Content for Sims4. Here is the first one of it. It's the fox eye from the anime and manga series Naruto. The other Creations will be releases shortly. You are able to download it from here. In Cas you will see a new eyecolor (red) and there it is. I hope you enjoy.

P.S.: This picture was made by Linuca (Origin ID). You'll find under this ID more custom content soon.

Creating your own Custom Content for Sims4

Hi Folks,

as you may have noticed Sims4 will be released soon. For those of you who suffer from the missing Feature "Create a Style" there are two tools:
  1. s4pe
  2. ColorMagic 
Unfortunatly they are at an early alpha so it's possible that nothing happens or CAS crashes if you try to load your very own creation in the game. You're also in need of a programm for graphic/photo editing like GIMP or Photoshop. At least if you are planing to use Photoshop you should download and install NVIDIA Texte Tools for Adobe Photoshop.

And now it's getting tricky ;) I'll give a short Instruction how to use the tools. But first you should extract and/or install them ;)
  1. Start Color Magic and use the assistant to chose the CASDemoFullBuild.package in Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo\Data\Client.
  2. At the textbox below write your (nick)name (it's used for ID Creation)
  3. Look after the object you want to modify.
  4. Select the object and click on next.
  5. Choose at least one color for the object (it seems as if you can ignore the flag option above at this early state) and give it a name.
  6. Click on Finish and save the new package
  7. Open s4pe and open the new package from within the file menu.
  8. Select the entry which has the Tag UNKN and the right picture.
  9. Left Click on the entry and select export to DDS and save the new file.
  10. Open the DDS File in your graphic editing software and do whatever you want.
  11. Save it as DDS File (DDS 5 with midmaps activated)
  12. In S4pe select again the old image you want to replace, right click and choose: "Import from DDS File"
  13. Now continue if a Question pops up and click on save within s4pe.
I wish you a lot of luck. But I have to admit, that it can be realy frustrating creating own styles this way. Sometimes the game crashes, somethins nothing happens at all and sometimes everything is fine. I wish you the best.

Stay tuned for my upcoming releases :) Bye
