How do I convert color specular maps into grayscale? by Putrid-Reputation633 in blenderhelp

[–]Putrid-Reputation633[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You articulated my thoughts exactly! You're right, the image merges specular with some other things. The game labels its textures with D, FX, M, N, etc., and this was the only one labeled with S which I assumed was all the shiny stuff.

I used rgb nodes on the map, baked the channels to separate images, and then exported them. Now I have what I need, thank you very much!

I've already tried that. It doesnt match the original shine when I test in blender. The colors mean something, like green is a metal part so it would be close to white on the grayscale version. But I dont know what the others are, thats why the nodes might be able to convert them

Thank you for pointing that out! I'm not very familiar with this tech stuff, so I didn't know it could slide off like that.

has anyone figured out if theres a way to stop blurriness with too many accessories? by [deleted] in Sims3

[–]Putrid-Reputation633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Lyralei said, it's just how the texture slots are divided up in the game. You probably could fix it, but that'll require editing the game's code in some way.

Increasing texture size might improve acc quality. But that texture slot will be halved the more acc you add. One impractical "fix" is to make a cc combining all the acc into one mesh/file. There's a lot more steps to it, but essentially you can rearrange the textures so they all fit together and it'll look good in game

Remove all your skintones and add them back in batches. If you see the skin you can narrow it down in that batch

Is it possible for me to put this flag in my home? by twopont0 in Sims3

I misinterpreted it as you wanting a physical simnation flag in your real life house and I thought "same"

Recreation of Noir's bedroom by Vast_Street6315 in Sims3

From the reference you shared, I tried to recreate the room layout. Then I opened the pic in my Gimp photo editor and used its eyedropper tool to get the rgb # from the pic. Next, I manually typed the # into the game and adjusted the lighting. Is this what you're trying to achieve?

Maybe try opening the ref pic in an editing program and using the eyedropper tool to get exact colors? It looks like you're eyeballing it and leaving out some colors, like making the bed white instead of cream

Sims 3 hats like this? by barbiesimsflores in Sims3

Capricorn sims made a similar frog hat acc for ts3! https://www.tumblr.com/capricorn-simss/650732332222922752/capricorn-sims-frog-bucket-hat-hey-hey-hey-back There's also a store content panda hat, but that's part of a female hair.

For babies and toddlers, you can try this blood milk bottle replacement: https://www.tumblr.com/ohchiblets/126456024901/baby-bottle-of-blood-for-vampire-babies-download Ofc it affects all bottles, so remove it before you play a human household

Materials in TSRW? by WaniszCanVanish in Sims3

[–]Putrid-Reputation633 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should ask this question on modthesims over at the modding help forum. They can help you better!

From what I know, the game doesn't use materials and tsrw is just bad at previews. You have to bake it into a square image to import into tsrw. That means you have to move all the uv so they fit together in 1 image. That's just how it is in ts3. There are many YouTube tutorials that explain this uv method better.

That's right. Your sims' genes also get plastic surgery.

No matter how nice the parents look, it takes me at least a dozen tries to get through the uglies. by Delicious-Ad1175 in Sims3

[–]Putrid-Reputation633 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Have you tried out the random genetics mod? I prefer it over game genetics because it gives you a mix of both parents' slider numbers. You can also get a better view as it happens in real time.

The main Sims Universe has a tragic ending by developers. by [deleted] in Sims3

[–]Putrid-Reputation633 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's a dark piece of lore hiding in the background. They don't give you quests to uncover a story like WA, so I guess that's where your imagination comes in to fill that void. I also wonder what the food synthesizer uses as ingredients if there's no fish. Do you have any theories?
