  followed a tutorial on youtube to create my own tattoo. 2 days later and it finally looks exactly how I want it in S4S. But once i put it in game it looks like this. Like someone turned the brightness and contrast WAY up. Does anyone know what went wrong here? Trying to add photos but not sure it’s working so here are the links to how it looks in S4S-https://imgur.com/a/ S4Sand how it looks in game- In Game |

Hello, I will also follow a video tutorial. (Here vidéo: . I'll see if I have the same problem as you. I'm starting today. I'll let you know, what program did you use? I was planning to use photoshop (I'm from the old school XD). I know that it is precisely necessary to reduce the outline to make an overlay via photoshop. www.lesnumeriques.com/photo/tuto-video-incruster-un-image-sur-un-produit-avec-photoshop-a162163.html(Sorry, I'm French-speaking Belgian), the site is in this language. But the steps are easily recognizable.  Good Day , and good luck, you tatoo is verry cool <3. |

 I just retested is it's ok via the tutorial I sent you. In my opinion maybe there is a problem importing the file to S4? Try again with the steps in the youtube video. The only modification is in Photoshop, I put the layer at 65 percent, so that it gives a more melted effect in the skin.  Are you using the basic meshes of the skin for your sims 4?

Hi! Thank you both for your responses! I got so frustrated with it that I’ve been pretending it doesn’t exist for a while and just thought to check here for responses. Composition was already 0. Someone suggested I download a similar tattoo from another creator and sort of compare their specs to my own to spot a difference. Lots of differences and I have no idea what a lot of it means so I’m basically just messing around and seeing if anything changes. one thing I noticed is that for this spot here on the left, the other tattoo doesn’t have 4 different things. It has ONLY that top CAS part line. So I deleted my bottom 3 lines. The one with the thumbnail preview on it removed the whole tattoo so I added that back but kept the bottom 2 deleted. You can see the game is not happy at all as he’s a checkerboard sim now BUT look at the tattoo! It looks how it should! this to me should mean something but my uneducated self has no idea what it means. It was exciting and frustrating at the same time finally having the tattoo work but now having the game mad about it. Would this mean something to someone who is experienced? Did I uncover a clue as to what exactly is wrong or is it still an unknown? imgur.com/a/bGDINKmAlso, I’m using Gimp and Paint.net and still VERY new to both so learning as I go. Not sure about the skin question, are you asking if I used a cc skin? If so then no. It was post patch when I tested this so my game was empty of cc at the time. It’s Ea skin |

I GOT IT!!!!! I got it! Finally! Going to explain in case anyone else comes here with the same issue. I noticed the values on the shadow and specular for the other creator’s tattoo were all 0. Mine was not. I thought I had downloaded blank maps to use from S4S but perhaps I got confused. I attempted to export the maps from the other creator’s tattoo and import them to mine to see what happened. It threw an error. BUT in that error it mentioned RLE 2 which was also on one of those lines I deleted in the previous post so I thought maybe those lines I deleted were the spec and shadow maps! So I went to those and clicked “make blank”. Boom! It was probably something stupid I did to cause this but it was those maps causing the issue. I’m so happy to finally see it in game! It’s my sim’s daughter in the tattoo so I’m really looking forward to him having a meaningful tattoo now. Thank you both so much for taking the time to help! So sorry I disappeared after creating this thread. Here is the WORKING tattoo! It’s a little rough but I’m happy for a “first try”. Maybe once I get a better handle on the editors I can fine tune it a bit imgur.com/a/57026KC |

Nevermind. Once I put it on the sim I made it for (looks great in CAS) and exited CAS I was horrified to find this monstrosity. Haha No idea what happened but this is before and after the tattoo. When I zoom in really close he goes back to normal and he’s normal in CAS but then this…. I think perhaps tattoos aren’t meant for me. Yikes imgur.com/a/p0BbInh |
