I’ve gotten a couple of requests to do a tutorial on how i do my recolors, so here you go!!
Also, this is what i do when recoloring, you don’t have to do the exact same thing, everyone has their preferences!
And be prepared!! This is a VERY detailed tutorial!!
If you have any questions about the tutorial, or if there’s anything you don’t understand, pls send me a dm! :D
Press keep reading to see the tutorial! :D vv
You will need:
- Photoshop of any kind (you can get CS2 for free here!)
- Sims 4 Studio (S4S) (needs registration to download)
- WMS swatches thumbs! (same link ^)
Before recoloring you should read WMS’s post on her recolors! There are a lot info there you’ll need to use in this tutorial!!!
1. Install S4S, PS and the DDS plugin!
2. Find whatever hair you want to recolor and download it!
- Make sure to put the downloaded file into the mods folder in S4S!! Which can be found in documents>sims 4 studio>mods
3. Open S4S and create your recolor file!
- Go to the cas section and choose “Add CAS part swatch” it’s very important you choose that or else the swatches will not be a part of the orignial mesh, and you’ll make a standalone file!
- Then click ‘CAS’, and it’ll bring you to a page with all the stuff EA has created, including the cc files you’ve put into the mods folder!
- In the top right corner you can filter the files into only showing the mods/cc you’ve put in!
- Find the hair you want to recolor, and ‘shift+click’ the file and press next in the bottom right corner!
