*The Sims 4 screenshots were screenshot with HQ mod enabled and lighting mod by northern siberia winds

*Most preview images were rendered in Blender using an Emission Shader to show the raw details of the skin. Please note that The Sims 4 renders textures at a maximum resolution of 2048px, so the in-game quality may differ from the preview. For the banner image, I edited the hair later in Photoshop and applied some adjustments to brightness and contrast.

Update Log:

• 20250106 , Fix the overlay version being too saturated and add more variants.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I move my chitchat section down here because this section is not important at all but I still want to share something with you.

So I just had my wisdom tooth removed two weeks ago, and according to my doctor, it was a particularly difficult procedure 😂. I had a tough time recovering and couldn’t do much for the entire two weeks.

This project is a big milestone for me because creating skins isn’t exactly my strong suit. Having less time to work on it really stressed me out haha. That said, I’m really really satisfied with the final result! I combined several techniques to get it done, including matte painting, 3D projection, and even hand-drawing parts of the skin.

In the past, the Native Skin was created entirely in 2D (Photoshop), which limited how much I could refine the edges of the skin. However, this time, I worked in 3D space by setting up more than 20 cameras in Blender for 3D projection, allowing me to focus on every edge of the texture I get confused by the camera name a lot haha but being able to paint to the area that was difficult before was worth it.

This project was challenging but also a lot of fun, and it really helped me improve my skills. I hope you like it! 😊
