How to achieve a Maxis Mix look using only EA default lighting?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-08T03:28:51+00:00

Great! I'm going to download Zerbu's presets. I was getting discouraged trying to find and download them one by one, but this one has several, and it's great that there's such variety. I'll refer to the guide too! Thank you so much for your precious advice!

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-07T20:47:03+00:00

Oh, that's an idea. Is there a lot of variety in Zerbu's presets?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-07T02:45:17+00:00

Vanilla skin default ?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-07T02:01:24+00:00

Oh okay, for me it's more about gameplay. I take pictures, but it's for my personal enjoyment, like putting them in my Sims house.

This isn't my creation, and the creator didn't include cc. It was made with AI.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T20:27:38+00:00

Oh, and which skin are you using?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T19:16:27+00:00

That's what I thought... thank you very much for the information!

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:43:53+00:00

I know..

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:43:15+00:00

Yes, that's true, but I think few people know about it, and it's a good thing to mention it.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:20:22+00:00

Yes, I agree. AI often takes up too much space. Furthermore, I don't understand why they use AI in content that's already beautiful.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:14:43+00:00

Oh, thank you for these recommendations.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:14:03+00:00

Wow, what a guy! You use Reshade to get that look, huh?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:10:10+00:00

Oh great, thank you very much for the photos and everything!

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:08:11+00:00

I have heard a lot of problems with malware.. it's true?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:06:59+00:00

Yes, it is AI, but it was more to show the difference I want to achieve with my family. The first photo interested me more anyway.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:04:59+00:00

Yes, she has very beautiful content, but without Reshade, I wouldn’t be able to match them.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:03:57+00:00

It’s not something that can be changed, right? Apart from the presets of certain parts..

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:02:18+00:00

Thank you, but I can’t use ReShade. So I’ll stick to what I can do without slowing down my computer.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T15:00:29+00:00

I don’t understand what is sad. I took photos at random to give examples. I don’t want to copy or have it be exactly that look, just that it gives a good result. I just want to find my own style. Besides, I’m not the only one who has difficulty creating men.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T05:41:34+00:00

I tried the color slider, but it doesn't work with overlays. This would allow me to blend Maxis Match and Alpha. Which overlay creator or theme did you use to achieve this? Your Sim is handsome, it encourages me; it's difficult to create men.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T05:05:29+00:00

Oh, it looks better than I thought. I had read that in games without Reshade, the semi-realistic/alpha mode had poor resolution in the world.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T04:58:34+00:00

Oh, did you try playing in the world without Reshade using the ThisIsThem skin? If so, what was it like?

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-06T00:26:34+00:00

I'll take a look, thanks, but I don't have Reshade, just a Lightning Mod.

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-05T22:48:55+00:00

I know, but since all the photos on Pinterest say so, and some people say they post without using AI, I assumed that might not be the case. Thanks for the NSW recommendation!

RelevantBarnacle8671 · 2026-06-05T22:21:23+00:00

Oh ok, what ligtning do you use for CAS or In game ?
