Just a quick mini tutorial on how to remove the dynamic shadows in TS4. I am all for dynamic shadows, but in my opinion, they have been poorly executed in TS4 so I found a way to turn them off for myself. I have been asked recently how I do it by @zhutra and @zellybeanie which reminded me that I was planning on writing up a tutorial for it. 

Generally, dynamic shadows are not enabled in the low light settings, same with a lot of other effects that I wanted left on. This method allows you to just turn off SSAO without a hit to lighting quality like sun shadows. Do note, with every patch or repair game, this needs to be carried out again as the sgr file reverts back to its default state. 

Update: If you are a Mac user and having issues finding the right file to edit, kiwisims4 gave a quick how-to on finding it. Find the post here:

Edit: Please note turning off SSAO does turn of Depth of Field (DOF) too for some reason.

the bby collection ♡

it's been awhile since infants were released and i found that i was still struggling to find some basic items for them, so i made my own!

now, these are bg recolours with the exception of one item which is growing together. i added texture & some nice basic colours. the original concept was inspired by gap, but i changed it to bby to be on theme & decided to go with simlish instead.

i hope you enjoy ♡

[ReShade] Clear UI of Shaders & More

This is a companion tutorial to my No More CAS UI & More post so if you haven't seen that tutorial yet then I highly recommend reading it first as the installation process is practically the same and a lot of information there will sound familiar here.

This time, it will feature the ReshadeEffectShaderToggler add-on, or REST for short, which will be used to prevent shaders from affecting certain parts of the game. And yes, you can use both add-ons at the same time! 

If you find this useful, do share the word around and tag me! All I ask is that you link back here if you want to share outside of tumblr :-)

⚠️ Disclaimer:

There are 2 versions of this add-on: one that is compatible with Reshade 5.2+ and one that only works with Reshade 5.8.0+. I've created a setting for each of them so make sure to read and grab the correct version.

📌 UPDATE 15/08/2023: crashing issue fixed! Please remove existing REST files first then DL the 🆕 files.

📌 UPDATE 16/07/2023: included new information about crashing issues. Please scroll to the Known Issues section for info ^^;

📌 UPDATE 29/04/2023: changed add-on requirements from REST 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 as well as minor adjustments to the overall post. Please redownload the add-on and update your Reshade. Config file previously downloaded can be kept, though I've renamed the uploaded file to reflect those changes.

How it works:

REST (currently developed by 4lex4nder) is a fork of the ShaderToggler addon where, instead of toggling in-game shaders like hiding UI from view, it will toggle reshade shaders/effects from affecting certain in-game shaders.

It's an alternative to KeepUI/UIDetect shaders as you can do most of the setup in the reshade panel itself instead of using external programs to create a mask. Another use of REST other than masking the UI is that you can toggle certain shaders from affecting CAS items with transparency. Now you can use Chromakey/Comic/AO shaders properly :)

What you’ll get by the end of this post:

A ReshadeEffectShaderToggler.ini file that comes with settings that will: 1) prevent shaders from affecting UI and making it readable (especially for DoF and bloom shaders), and 2) prevent certain shaders from affecting items with transparency in CAS.

ReShade & Add-on requirement:

🆕 REST v 1.2.3: only compatible with ReShade 5.8.0+ w/ full add-on support. Works with 64-bit version of TS4, but should also work w/ the legacy version.

REST v 1.1.0 (testing): compatible with Reshade 5.2+ w/ full add-on support. Works with 64-bit and legacy version.

For GShade users: simply check which Reshade version it's based on and match with the above requirements.

DOWNLOAD .ini file:

🆕For REST v 1.2.3: SimFileShare / Google Drive

For REST v 1.2.1: SimFileShare / Google Drive [OLD ver w/ crashing issue]

For REST v 1.1.0 (testing): SimFileShare / Google Drive

Installation:

Have ReShade with full add-on support installed for this to work. If you've done the previous tutorial and have the Add-on menu available to you then you can skip this step. It’s important to have the correct version as without it this won’t work.

Grab the REST add-on from the github release linked in the ReShade & Add-on requirement section. Make sure to get the add-on that works with your Reshade version.

If you're using REST v1.1.0: grab x64_110 add-on file if you're playing on TS4 64-bit version. Grab x86_110 if you have TS4's legacy version.

Extract the ReshadeEffectShaderToggler.addon file into the game's \Bin folder where your TS4.exe/TS4_64.exe is (where you had also installed ReShade). Addon32 is for legacy players, addon64 is for non-legacy players.

Still in the \Bin folder, drop the x.x_ReshadeEffectShaderToggler.ini file you downloaded. Make sure you grab the right file matching with the add-on version it's compatible with.

Rename the file and remove the version number in the prefix. Both .addon and .ini file should share the same name for the add-on to recognize my settings.

If you’re a GShade user: there’s a folder called gshade-addons; this is where you should place the ReshadeEffectShaderToggler.addon file. Just move the add-on from the \Bin folder to the folder mentioned and you’re good.

Open up your game. If you see the same menu as below then you’ve successfully installed the add-on & settings! Restart if needed.

Previews of add-on togglers:

Clear UI

This will prevent all shaders from affecting any sorts of UI. Works in CAS and in build/live mode. Enabled by default.

Alpha Mask for CAS

This will disable a select amount of shaders from affecting CAS items with transparency (alpha hair, transparent clothes). Disabled by default. This does not work for live mode.

Shaders affected by the toggle:

Lineart based shaders: Comic & MatCap_Outlines

BG based shaders: Chromakey & DepthAlpha

Various ambient occlusion/AO shaders

Various DoF shaders

ReflectiveBumpmapping

You can add more shaders to exclude by clicking the Change Effects option and select which shaders you want to add.

Fixed:

🆕 White screen issue no longer happens on REST v1.2.3 when you switch between window mode & resolution, either via in-game settings or SRWE. Still untested on 1.1.0.

Known Issues:

\\ REST 1.1.0 gamma issue:

Certain shaders won’t work properly with the toggler on and will mess up the gamma, causing it to darken the screen. (Only happens with the Clear UI toggle. Alpha Mask works fine.)

Shaders affected (list not exhaustive): SMAA (FMAA is not affected), FilmicAnamorphSharpen, ArcaneBloom & NeoBloom, Glamarye_Fast_Effects, MagicHDR, CRT_Lotte.

\\ REST v 1.2.3 keyboard shortcut issues:

Since you can't use keyboard shortcuts for the toggle groups (despite assigning a keybind), you'll have to manually enable them instead. Version 1.1.0 on the other hand works as usual.

\\ REST (both versions) issue with toggling individual reshade effects/shaders:

When you have the add-on toggler enabled, you won't be able to toggle individual reshade effects with keyboard shortcuts. Say you want to disable ADOF for the time being, you can only disable it w/ keyboard shortcut when the add-on toggle is off or by disabling it manually in the reshade panel.

\\ REST v 1.1.0 issue with toggling reshade effects/shaders:

If you try to disable your reshade effects altogether, the togglers (when enabled) will prevent that from happening and you have to disable the toggler first in order to disable all reshade effects. Version 1.2.1 doesn't have this issue and will work as usual.

Workaround to issue:

Change the hotkeys to the add-on to be the same as your hotkey for toggling effects on/off. If you use F2 to toggle all effects, change the add-on/toggle groups hotkeys to that.

Over the past 4 years of creating custom content for the sims I have made over 200 items. Since there are so many items and collections that I have released, and that issues are inevitable, I have gone through the majority of my custom content and fixed mesh issues, changed weights and maps, or just freshened up the textures and previews.

In this post, you are able to download all of my custom content (excluding content that I have deemed as ‘retired’ as I may not like the style or finished product of said item any more).
