Hi guys!

I read the article about creating a new tattoo package and all the other related articles, but I'm still wondering how I could achieve this... I did some research on Google, but I didn't find anything clear enough for my very low knowledge in Sims 4 Studio/Gimp/Blender as I'm a translator and an author... So let's say I have no graphic design background whatsoever! So here I am asking your help!

I would like to create a new tattoo package that would include multiple already made tattoo and piercing packages. I explain: I would like to add more tattoos and piercings on my Sim that the "slots" allow, so creating a new full body tattoo package should solve my dilemma - well, I think!

So, if someone could explain to me, step by step (please don't forget that I'm a complete beginner ahah), how to extract the images from the already made packages and how to place them on the body template, I would be very grateful!

Thank you very much in advance!!!

Stef

Interesting idea. The way I would approach it wouldn't require much graphic knowledge so you should be able to do it. I use Gimp, but it should be easy with any image editor, so the steps will vary with what you use. Basically, clone the tattoos you want to combine and export the diffuse texture of each. In the image editor combine all the textures into a single texture and import into one of the clones.

Hi Leniad!

Thank you sooo much for your reply :D !!! I'll then try that way - I use Gimp too (well, I'm not an expert, but I know the basics). If ever I stumble upon something, would you be so kind to direct me?

I'll give you some news soon! Thanks a lot!

I don't use GIMP, I use photoshop and there is a useful option "paste in place" which allows copying an image from one file and pasting it in another file in exact same spot as in previous file. I googled and found that this option should be in GIMP as well.

Please don't DM me here or elsewhere asking for assistance with Ninjaripper or CC. I don't work in Ninjaripper anymore.
Please post your questions in Creator Help thread so everyone can chime in and help solving the problem
