TS4: How To Create TS4 Style Paintings [Photoshop]
This is a quick tutorial on how to create paintings (or recolor paintings) that semi-match TS4's painting styles.
What you need:- The Sims 4 (Duh)
- The Sims 4 Studio
- Photoshop (CS5 or above, I am using CC 2015)
1. Using S4S, find the painting you want to recolor.
2. Export the texture and open it in Photoshop.
3. Open another image you want to put into the frame.
4. Press Control + U and up the saturation around 25 - 40, press 'OK'.
5. Open some filters. (Before CS6, check in 'Filter' > 'Distort' > 'Glass'. In CS6 and above, use 'Filter' > 'Filter Gallery...')
6. In 'Brush Strokes', select 'Crosshatch'. Tune the settings to somewhere similar to these.
7. In the lower right, click the New Layer button. Then, go to 'Distort' and 'Glass'. Use similar settings as below.
8. Add another Gallery layer, and lastly do 'Texture', then 'Texturizer'. Follow the settings I've used.
9. Copy that photo and fit it to your original frame photo.
10. Save as DXT5. (Match the settings in my window.)
11. Import the texture in S4S, and move the package to your Mods folder.
12. Test in game.
Hope this tutorial helped you guys create TS4 style paintings!
