Hi all,
First I just want to give a great big thank you, shout out and squeezie hugz to all the amazing people who created this program and continue to take your free time to update it and provide such awesome and easy to follow tutorials! Ya'll are rock stars!
And, I wanted to just let you know how fantastically easy this program is! This is my first time doing any recolors since Sims 1!! I never took the time to learn any of the programs to do recolors when Sims 2 came out. And, when Sims 3 came along and you could pretty much customize anything you wanted, I felt it was kind of pointless in me learning how to recolor since I don't know how to create new meshes and everybody could just change colors or patterns themselves in game.
So, when I heard about this program I thought hmmm, let me just check it out and see how hard it is to learn.
It wasn't!! (At least, for what I'm currently using it for). I leave all the hard stuff to you modding experts, I just put my own pretty wrapping paper on it!
So, in case you can't tell by now ..... I'm quite proud of my first recolors for the Sims 4 ever!
Here's some pics .... (not all stuff in my staging screenshot was done by me, obviously lol!) Some of the recolors have very subtle differences in them and hard to tell in these pics but in game you can see it more.
EA Bed
Curtains
Dresser - I love the original but it so didn't fit into my rustic master bedroom, so I had to fix that!
Pillows - All of the originals are nice, but the color and style weren't quite right
Rocking Horse - Love the originals, but the colors were way too bright for me and didn't match the rustic look I was going for
Stool - Was perfect as the original one, but I felt I needed a white-washed stool up against the dark wood bed
Leaning Birdcage - Love this deco item! But the colors were too bright for the room I was making, and I felt the black cage was just too black so I went with an old rusted metal and changed up some deco items to fit into my room
Hanging Chain Deco - Love the original, and mostly only recolored because I wanted it to not "snap" to the wall if it was close, so I could put it anywhere, and I didn't care for the black being so black so I changed it to a brushed nickle texture and some of the baubles to gold, also the clip for the pic is wood originally but I wanted it metal (hard to tell those difference in these pics tho)
Old Washtub Ottoman - I loved this original and unique creation! But, all the chair cushion colors were bright flowers, couldn't have that in my relaxing neutral bedroom, also I changed the washtub's texture to a more rusted steel (again, hard to tell in these pics with my crappy in game lighting)
And, that's all she wrote!
The 2 flowers in the screenshot I also recolored but not enough of a difference to take a side by side comparison shot, mostly they were just to tone down the brightness of some colors and to add some shine to a vase, also, the flowers on the nightstand were originally made to hang on the wall, I wanted to be able to sit them down without them wanting to "snap" to the wall, so I changed that too
EDIT: I just noticed I didn't mention the blanket on the bed, that was also recolored by me.
