We know some of our fans have pushed the game’s boundaries even further by lovingly and painstakingly making their own Custom Content called “Mods” for The Sims. In-game tools such as Create A Sim and Build Mode have grown and improved over the years, adding more powerful functionality while simultaneously becoming more intuitive to use. Since the first installment of The Sims, we have supported player creativity. The textures shown in the above pictures are all from. package files, you will still need S4PE and CAS Recolor Tool for that, as well as a program to convert from DDS to PNG and back. This is more efficient than using a regular image editing program, and it actually redraws the image rather than just filling over it. Anything above or below that will be lighter or darker. The brightness will be determined by the highest colour value (for example, if the pixel of the spectacular is R100, G200, B100, the brightness will be based on the green value).Ī value of 128 will have no brightness effect. The resulting image will be the tiled design(s), but will retain light and dark spots from the original spectacular. The program uses an algorithm that draws the entire image pixel-by-pixel using the spectacular, mask and patterns/colours as instructions. In order to work, the area of the mask must be one of the above solid colours - variations of them (example: darker red) will not work.

Transparent/Any Other - No Design (just copy straight off the spectacular) The program reads the mask, and determines based on the colours which design to use in which area. package and DDS files, but the current one can’t.īy default, the program will create the whole image using one pattern, but this can be changed using a mask of the same size as the spectacular. Maybe a future version of the program will be able to read. Also, the program cannot read or write DDS files so you will need to first convert them to PNG, then convert them back after export. You will still need S4PE and CAS Recolor Tool to export and import files. PLEASE NOTE: Caster only edits images, it does not read or write. If you want to use a solid colour, you can quickly generate one by right clicking. You can set patterns using either the “1, 2, 3, 4” buttons, or by clicking on the pattern. You just input a PNG or BMP version of a Spectacular file, select a pattern, and you’re ready to go! You can also adjust brightness, contrast and threshold settings, as well as convert non-grayscale spectaculars to grayscale.

Caster is based on the Create a Style tool for The Sims 3. Caster is an image editing tool allowing players of The Sims 4 (and of course, the Create a Sim demo) to quickly and easily create patterns and recolours for CAS parts and - hopefully in the future - build mode objects.
