tutorial for how to update default eyes to be enabled for infants

you can use this same method to enable makeup & skin details** for infants, too. 

the code i’m placing in the value box is 000030FE which was found by @fivesims (thank you, ur a GENIUS), & this code will enable something to be applied to all ages, infants included.

if you want to take eyes/makeup/a skin detail and enable it for just infants & toddlers, but keep it unavailable for all other life stages, the code you would need to use is 00003082 which was also found by fivesims!

if you want to make it so that something is available for only infants, i’m pretty sure the code you should put in is 00003080 (which i was proud of myself for being able to find myself haha)

** (i wouldn’t be surprised if it worked for other things that don’t have meshes, too—maybe eyebrows, teeth, etc, especially if they’re already able to be applied to toddlers—but i haven’t tested that for myself, so i can’t confirm or deny.)

SO I’ve been playing around with the infant patch update and GIIIRRRLLL.

 y’all better be ready to be on your toes 24/7 because infants are waayyy more needy than toddlers. (not saying this is a bad thing, but I wasn’t expecting the challenge lol)

The first pic is me trying to see the size difference because I initially thought that the infants looked around the same size as toddlers but they’re actually pretty small in comparison.

Second was me taking a pic of when my sim took her daughter away from the business and noise of the geekcon festival and gave her a nap, occasionally checking her phone.I htought the animation was cute.

The last three are the ABOMINATION of the texture change they made to babies. The first two are with shaders on and the very last pic is with none, so I can’t blame it on MXAO or something, they look like little grandpas now lol So I guess I’ll wait for a texture override that’ll eventually come along in the cc-sphere

Then, I decided to really get in the mix and check out the base game update’s gameplay, since none of my current saves are infant ready...I remembered the Clarke family is lowkey vanilla, so I just aged them all down to go back in time & see what Tabitha’s life was like as an infant! (also finally got their names! also recorded for the gaming channel | NYRARACHELLE Plays. I’ll start editing tonight...)

But, here’s an infant Tabitha “petting” Knox, the family’s small dog... (peep, no baby mat needed! & expansion pack cross-compatibility!)

Hi everyone,

currently updating my game and sorting all my mods. I’ve seen that most eyes replacement are now broken. I used to have the whisper collection in game, does someone know if they are magically still functionable ? They never broke since their creation so I was wondering.. Thanks!

Is anybody else having a glitch where when you pick up the infants it looks kinda funny like their legs like look like they’re stretching

How do I fix this sos 😭

quick temporary fix to enable skin details, overlays, & default eyes for infants

for people asking how i figured out how to get things like skin overlays enabled for infants (namely @delicateism & @simminnikas on my post). 

this is not by any means a long-term fix or even probably the most convenient way to do this, it’s just what i ended up doing for the moment so that the babies would be cute. it’s also not a way to fix default skins; it’s just a way to get your infant to have the skin you like. whoever has a better way to do this, i’d totally love to know how! this is just how i jerryrigged it for the time being :)

first, i went into sims 4 studio, and went file > open > then i clicked the package file of the skin overlay i wanted. this has to be a nondefault version of a skin overlay—it can be set as a skin detail, or maybe makeup, whatever. if your favorite skin has a nondefault skin detail/makeup version, open that in sims 4 studio, and a window will pop up.

once the window pops up, i go to the tab that says ‘texture,’ where you’ll see a picture of the skin overlay. click export, and it will export this skin overlay to a png file. that’s the first part done!

after this i went back to the home screen of sims 4 studio. on the home screen, i selected ‘override’ under the blue tab that says CAS, then clicked on that blue CAS tab, which opened a window full of assets from the game. 

under the search bar, i typed ‘storkbite’ which brought up the skin detail asset that is the infant stork bite birthmark thing. once you select it & click next, it will prompt you to name the file before you make it, so name it something so u know what it is. 

after this, a window like the one from before with the skin overlay will pop up. under the same texture tab from before, you want to press import this time. you’ll want to import the png file that you exported from your favorite skin overlay earlier. 

click save, and the name you chose earlier will be a package file now that you should put in your mods folder. now, when you go into the game in create a sim and select the stork bite detail, instead of giving your infant sim a stork bite, it will give them the face overlay you selected. (you can choose to have your skin overlay replace the other infant skin details instead, like the birth marks on their backs and legs, but you’ll have to scroll through the assets during step 3-4 until you find the one you want your skin overlay to replace.)

this same process can be done with makeup, too. there’s no makeup tab for infants, but by following this same process, you can choose to make your favorite blush/whatever replace an existing base game infant skin detail (or maybe you can make the makeup be an added swatch of an existing skin detail without actually replacing the original, if while on the home screen during step 3 you select ‘add cas part swatch’ instead of ‘override’, but i haven’t actually tested this). 

if you follow a similar process, but instead of replacing a stork bite, you make overrides by changing both the texture AND the specular of the default base game eye color assets in sims 4 studio (which will be listed as yfeyecolor, but that’s fine, it works the same), you should be able to make your favorite default eyes work for infants, too, but it’s kind of an arduous process that i haven’t fully completed yet. i’ve done it with one eye color, which worked just fine, but it looks like you might have to do them all manually, one at a time?

if anybody knows a more efficient way to fix default eyes, please, please, PLEASE rb & tell me lmaoooo. if anyone has a good way to fix default skins, please rb with that, too! <3

Our baby girl can now sleep alone in her room! When she wakes up, she clings to her crib and watches out the window while she waits for her mother. They spend a lot of time together and our little one really enjoys being in the air. Melody has now remodeled the living room for her creeping baby and has her favorite photograph painted.
