[aprilhush] neck tatts

Warning: Lots of text below.

The wonderful @hell-is-coming-for-you gave me an interesting idea for a tattoo and I decided to take it on. Well, why not? The tattoo looks cool, I couldn't find anything similar for Sims 4 and initially I thought that such a tattoo would not take me much time and effort.

But everything turned out to be much more complicated.

The thing is that the texture on the Sims' face and head is very distorted. It took me 3 days to make this seemingly easy tattoo! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

At first, I just drew it in Photoshop and checked it in Sims Studio and it seemed to work out fine, but I went into the game and saw that the result was a complete disappointment.

Well, I don't give up just like that, especially when I really want to get something. And so... I opened Blender... And drew this tattoo there. But when I transferred it to Sims Studio, it didn't look good either.

In the photo, I highlighted a relatively straight line on the Sim's model, and on the other side, the texture. The difference is obvious.

 The Sims face texture is very curved, small and problematic. Any wrong pixel or blur turns the tattoo into a real mess on the Sim's face. I have edited this tattoo more than 15 times and I still think the result is not perfect. Simply because it can not be perfect! Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a beautiful tattoo on half of the Sim's face and in the gif below you can see why.

As we know very well, the Sim's face is plasticine, from which you can mold anything. Accordingly, the tattoo line is also distorted, especially if we use sliders or change the Sim's appearance a lot. On one Sim, the tattoo looks okay, on another it is uneven and sloppy and this cannot be fixed in any way.. it's the mechanics of the game.

But despite this, I still decided to finish this tattoo and give it to you for download, because I spent a lot of time and effort on it.

As you can see, on the Sim on my screenshots it looks quite good, so perhaps it will suit someone of you.

thank you so much! I always try to do something unusual and new for myself. I really like the process of creating a tattoo and this experience, although difficult, was also useful for my skills๐Ÿ–ค

Oh my word...every time you amaze me!

armana sims

thank you ๐Ÿ’–

Challenge completed hehe๐Ÿ™ the inspiration was initially from Second Life, I don't know how it's working in that game with mechanics, but I'm really happy you find out how to adapt it to Sims ๐Ÿ–คcan't wait to see what you're planning to do for future projects, you're so full of creativity ๐Ÿ–ค

thank you so much for your wonderful ideas๐Ÿ–ค Yeah, I didn't think such a simple tattoo would be so complicated either, but I like challenges๐Ÿ˜… Anyway, now I understand how to work with it and plan to do more neck and face tattoos in the future

Hi April! I'm so sorry this tattoo gave you such a hard time, I didn't thought at first it would be so technical๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ As you said, sims faces are so specific with all the different presets, shapes and forms. Straight line seems easy at first look, but turns out really difficult to achieve. I'm really impressed by your work โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ I finally can have beautiful full black on necks, without having to put couple tattoos on top of each other! I'm sure other simmers will be really happy to use your beautiful tattoos ๐Ÿซ‚ thanks a lot ๐Ÿ–ค
