Sims 4 skin overlay tutorial12/18/2023 To test everything worked right, load your new dds file into your original recolour. Save your file as a dds and your overlay texture is now all set! Your file shouldn’t look any different in photoshop, but the alpha layer is where your important changes are. Head back to your normal RGB layer and delete the extra ‘shirt’ layer you used for the selection. This should delete/fill in black everything but your shirt section. Then click on the Select tab > Inverse and press delete. With just our shirt selection highlighted, we then head back the alpha channel. Then ctrl+left click on the shirt layer to select that layer. So, to do this, the best way I have found is to head back to the ‘layers’ file, then duplicate or copy/paste-in-place the shirt layer over to our ‘overlay base’ file. We only want the area of the undershirt to be white on the alpha. Anything in white will show up, anything in black won’t! As it is currently, all of the jacket is showing up, which is great for the normal clothing item but not for our overlay. This is telling your item which bits of the texture will ‘show up’ on the item. With alpha 1 selected, your file is going to look something like this: Click on the channels tab and select ‘Alpha 1′. Now we want to look at the alpha layer of our ‘overlay base’ file. I won’t insert the full image again but you can see below in this document I have cut out the ‘shirt’ as a separate layer to the background. The second file I have open is my ‘layers’ file. Here’s what my ‘overlay base’ file looks like: You can delete it completely if you want but it’s not necessary. The pattern/colour of the jacket section here does not matter as we won’t see this at all. In this file, the shirt section I have adjusted to be the perfect colour for my recolour action. To do this, I have two files open in photoshop. I probably don’t do this the easiest way but it works for me. To create my texture, this requires a few steps. You can see this item is a prime candidate for an accessory overlay for the undershirt! Save this file, and this is your first file/main recolour. First you’re going to want to make your recolour as normal. A photo editing software of your choice (I use photoshop which is what I will talk about in this tutorial)įor this example I’m going to use a simple jacket with undershirt from the Snowy Escape EP.I’ve never written a tutorial before so I hope this is clear enough and helpful to people! As requested by a bunch of people, here’s a quick tutorial on how I make accessory overlays for clothing items! This tutorial assumes you already know how to recolour clothing items and cut out layers.
