this was made bc I wanted to make a plant-based CAS room for a while now, and literally could not rest until I did it lmao

♥ You can only have one CAS background/room in your game at once, remove any other before putting this one in!

♥ Reflections need to be set to low, medium, or high but not OFF in your game's graphics settings for the mirror to be functional.

[talentedtrait] Heather - A GShade Preset

Hello!!! This is a gshade for autumn! It's inspired by the changing leaves and the warm cozy vibes of the fall. I originally had the idea to release this for simblreen but I wanted you guys to be able to use it beforehand <3

Download GShade

Watch this Tutorial

There is double mxao to achieve sharp edges, feel free to turn one off!!

Grain adds a really nice nostalgic effect :)

I tested this indoors and during most weather outside and it held up well!

Remember to disable Edge Smoothing in the game settings!

Have any issues? Try the tutorial first! I may or may not be able to help you :(

iris.

named after iris by the goo goo dolls. a yellow-toned saturated and glowing preset that comes in both an ingame version and a cas version that i've been using pretty regularly of late. has a very slight highlight and shadow effect on some sims

works with both gshade and reshade

in my opinion it actually looks best indoors and in lower lighting. i recommend sunblind but it looks fine without it

the cas version is NOT meant for white/pale cas backgrounds, so it looks it's best in a room or on a black background. i have no idea what it looks like with the default cas lighting, i recommend these replacements

works best on mid to dark skintones, pale sims will look slightly washed out especially under harsh lighting

thank you to everyone who tested this for me! ty also for being patient guys ik i've been sitting on this one for a while but i really hope u guys like it <3

I know I said I'm getting a little rest from making cc, but I just can't sit here knowing I reached 900 followers and do nothing about it. Though these were just unreleased projects that were wating to be posted during the time I had a broken internet at home so no worries, I didn't pressure myself to make these as these were made carefully and with love. So here's a token of gratitude for the huge following I continuously receive all throughout. Thank you everyone! 🥰

PXL'S Anatomy of Screenshots

So you want to take better screenshots? There are multiple factors to consider, and if you don't enjoy tweaking reshade settings for every image, my ultimate method may not be for you. That being said, there are tips and resources in this guide that are applicable to everyone and you can select to explore those that are useful to your specific situation.

Disclaimer: I am not claiming to be an expert, nor am I offering to provide troubleshooting on an individual basis. This is a general guide and if you are unfamiliar with any of the concepts, please use the mighty power of the internet to find tutorials. I promise everything that I have learned over the years has been published and documented a thousand times better than I ever could.

There are five factors to address:

Your computer's inherent capabilities

The game's limitations

The mods you're using

Reshade

Post Processing

Graphics Card Settings & Drivers:

Become familiar with your graphic options. If you don't have a dedicated graphics card (i.e. a desktop or gaming laptop, these features may be unavailable and you should skip.)

I have an AMD Radeon Pro card which is designed for workstation level systems. It's overkill for sims, but useful for 3D rendering and modelling work. I have changed the following settings for DirectX 9 applications:

anti-aliasing - enhance application settings

anisotropic filtering - enabled

anisotropic filtering level - 16x

texture filtering quality - high

surface format optimization - high

Consider overclocking your graphics card to unlock it's full potential. DO NOT pursue this venture unless you are ok with the risk of burning out your card prematurely. I use at present, overclocked Bootcamp Drivers from BootcampDrivers.com obviously, if you're not playing on an intel based mac through Bootcamp, this is irrelevant to you.

None of these settings are useful until you address the default games limitations, which leads nicely into the next factor.

Addressing The Sims 4's Graphic Limitations:

Everyone should be familiar at this point with lighting mods, 4k, textures, disabling ssao, etc. but, I'm still going to spell it out. None of this is new information and has been covered many a time by various players ad nauseum.

remove ugly blue toned lighting in the world by choosing a lighting mod from @softerhaze here

overhaul your graphics.cfg file (i use a custom blend with features specific to me), however @simp4sims has done a ridiculous amount of work in providing a simple to install file that can be found here - read through their tutorials!! they have provided an excellent oversight of exactly what this does and why it matters

improve the indoor lighting for your sims - previously i used @luumia's no blu, no glo - recently i switched to @northernsiberiawinds better in game lighting mod here, though i have tweaked some of the settings to suit my own personal preferences

i don't use the HQ mod, i don't find that it makes enough difference for the amount of effort it requires to convert CAS CC

It should go without saying, but tweaking your graphics config file is absolutely useless if you can't play TS4 at it's maximum in game graphic settings!

The Mods You're Using:

Now that you've put in all this work into getting the game ready to make use of quality mods where do you start? Well, the CC you install matters. Whatever your preference, whether it be maxis-match, alpha or somewhere in between, priority should be given to using items textured in 2k or 4k resolutions, and specific attention should be paid to using wall and flooring textures with bump maps, and or high quality resolutions (this is important later for reshade if you intend to learn about ray tracing).

I will separately post a guide to creators with crispy textures because that is it's own novel.

Reshade:

Phew. Still with me?

There are many many many reshade presets out there, most are alike, but none employ ray tracing, and that is because a) it needs to be manually adjusted for every screenshot, b) they are paid shaders, and c) this requires advanced knowledge of reshade and a decent enough graphics set up that won't overheat - games running native ray tracing recommend a minimum VRAM of 8GB (please note RAM and VRAM are not the same) - i therefore do not recommend pursuing this option if your system does not meet those minimum requirements.

Start here to understand what ray tracing for reshade is. In my opinion, the shaders are well worth the price of $5 for the amount of work that has gone into creating them by the talented Pascal Gilcher. That link is a comprehensive starting point into expanding your knowledge of reshade and it's capabilities.

I have always created my own reshade presets from scratch, and while the core colorization settings I utilize remain largely the same, using ray tracing and re-light means every screenshot needs to be manually adjusted (lights repositioned, bounce and AO factors adjusted, etc) before being captured. @pictureamoebae just published a very timely post discussing the re-light shader and you can read it here.

Post Processing

Reshade does 99.99% of the work that traditionally would be accomplished in a photo editing software like photoshop. Occasionally, I need to adjust exposure manually, add depth of field manually, or color correct. Beyond that I use it to scale images to fit the resolution and file size limits of various platforms. Conceptually this reduces the amount of uncontrolled loss encountered when platforms like tumblr auto compress files that are too large. In reality, tumblr still makes images crappy compared to how they appear in my file folder.

optimize your images for various social media platforms using this guide

fix exposure or colorization issues using a software like photoshop

I hope that this gives you a starting point into expanding your methodologies. My process is continuously evolving and I find this aspect of the game most entertaining. For others who don't enjoy this process, it's probably not worth it!

Thanks for reading ❤ PXL

The homie @neishroom just dropped a gshade preset and being the preset junkie that I am, I just had to load up and try it out! Love the colors and the relight settings!

Jay just came back from a jog and Hope wanted to dance to hip hop so she did.

Looks great indoors and out! Thanks for sharing!

What is a good beginning camera for someone? I want to be able to take my own photos to paint and draw.

For what you're doing, anything within your budget is a good camera.

Point and shoots are good! I still use my Nikon Coolpix and my dad uses Canon Powershot. These ones are more for people who are playing around with it and don't necessarily need to shoot in Manual, but the Powershots on the high-end do have manual settings if you're interested in learning how to use it.

(I like cameras with Manual options because now that I know how to shoot in Manual mode it gives me a lot of creative freedom that auto and presets do not have. But if you don't know Manual and want to learn, there is a rather frustrating learning curve that a lot of people struggle to get over. Just be prepared for that.)

If you're interested in learning photography and want something a little above the point and shoots, my first DSLR was a Canon Rebel (I think it was a Rebel 3). It still has presets and auto functions, but its the middle ground between beginner and pro.

You might get a good deal on DSLR cameras soon because most companies are going mirrorless and the mirrored cameras are becoming obsolete.

I'm going to tell you this: the cheaper the camera, the worse it will be at shooting dark scenes. That's pretty much where most of the money goes towards in development.

So if you're looking to take pictures outside or in well-lit places or with an built-in flash, then you may be happy with a point and shoot.

If you're looking to be in more challenging places, like indoor places that aren't terribly well lit, then a DSLR might be a good place to start. The Rebel I used to use was great for doing candids inside schools. You can also use an external flash with DSLR cameras, if you're feeling ambitious.

Anything priced higher than that is going to be able to do all of these things AND be able to take photos in poorly lit bars. My Canon Mark II just about struggles in dark places, but you can still get some cool looks if you know how to work your exposure settings (-grumbles in photographer-)

Cappuccino ☕️ - A GShade Preset by PixelWife

I use better in-game lighting and Sunblind! This preset is great indoors as well as outside.

[cocodaintysims]

It’s been a while since I created a new Gshade preset, so introducing Beau a vibrant, blue tone preset perfect for indoor, outdoor, day or night this preset is very versatile.

• I highly recommend using Sunblind by Softerhaze & Northern Siberia Winds Better In-Game Lighting Mod V1.1, if you would like your game to look like the screenshots above. The look may differ depending on your PC specs please keep that in mind.

• Be sure to toggle ADOF off if you’d like to unblur the background during gameplay, feel free to tweak to suit your style.

• Please do not reupload & claim as your own.

• Feel free to tag me in all your gorgeous photos when using this preset 🤍
