Pride Sweater for Adults & Teens (& EF)
August is Pride locally, so I decided to wait until August to post this! Partly inspired by a similar sweater in the GMM store, this is for everyone who's super late to the party and wants to feel some pride going into the colder months. (Or maybe it's already cold for you? Seasons are weird.)
You get a sweater with rainbow cuffs and trim, a red collar, and marled grey fabric everywhere else. Nothing else! :D (Except an EF version I randomly made later.)
Get it here! Meshes included.

Anonymous asked: Hi! Could you give some tips for making thumbnails for stuff like eyes and makeup? I recolored and resclera'd an eyeset but I'm stuck making thumbnails for them because I've never made cc that needs them before so I haven't bothered to learn how to do it until now. |
Hi anon!
Like in most things, my answer to tedious tasks is optimization with photoshop actions. I do not have standard actions for this since I like to make slightly different swatches per set, but basically what I do is record the steps after I copy my texture to the clipboard. Usually the steps are:
Paste texture in swatch.bmp → Resize → Adjust position of image → Sharpen → Fade Sharpen 40% → Flatten → Save
(For eyes, you will also need to rotate the image after pasting, and to hide some of the messy sclera texture I add a black fuzzy outline, I know there's a specific name for this effect but I can't remember it lol.)
I then import the file with the new swatch in BodyShop and move on to the next texture.
(If I'm feeling extra lazy I will also have additional starting steps to copy the texture, switch to the swatch.bmp image, do everything listed above, and then switch back to the psd where I have all my textures saved as layers so that literally all I have to do is click the next texture layer. But this requires you to open your images in a particular order since the actual action steps recorded will be "select next document" and "select previous document," so it matters what photoshop recognizes as your first and second documents, if that makes sense.)
I whipped up some quick sample actions so you can get an idea of how they work, but I would encourage making your own versions so that you can make sure they're the right size and centered how you want. I didn't make one for blush because it's hard to estimate what part of that you would want to show.
Sample Swatch Actions: SFS / Mega

Slaughtermatic Sounds - 4 MCR Shirts for AF & TF

Over on my main blog, I've been liveblogging every MCR concert, as one does. But I know I have followers who like them too, so here's some modern merch for your sims to wear! I actually made the AF ones for their previous tour and just never posted them - but I dusted them off and gave them to the teens, too.
Get them here, 4t2 meshes by Rented Space included!
