thegratechin Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 So i found this mod that lets you paint girls in a nude pinup style i was wondering if one also existed where you can paint anime girls as well
landess Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 If you would reference the mod you found, perhaps we would know more of what you want. It's also possible the mod could be simply changed to do what you want if it's just an addition of a type of photo file with S3PE. Need to see the mod first though before jumping to conclusions. https://modthesims.info/t/503053 Object Creation - Tutorial - Replacing Sim Painted Paintings https://thegrownupsarelying.blogspot.com/2010/10/sims-3-artistry-redux-replacements-for.html I noticed an anime reference for geek oriented painters....

Use this since long too. Actually someone with a little knowledge should be able just to change the pictures inside the correspondent package...... But think you can only worsen this mod. The pictures there in are great.
JoshQ Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 I also don’t know the mod you’re referring to but as others have pointed you could replace the images directly from the package using s3pe which allows to: Open a package and preview the resources contained Copy and paste the hash or “serial number” to effectively replace any resource contained inside Again I’m not familiar with that particular mod but if it only replaces what your sim paints on the easel then inserting yours should be trivial. I cloned a paint from the game to show you what you should look to, you can do this directly on the mod you linked (make a backup just in case): After opening the package every resource will have a tag, in this case images are tagged as “_IMG” and by clicking on each one you should see its preview on the right pane. At the top it should indicate the resolution and the compression (256x512, compressed as dds with dxt5 compression). If you want to export it just right-click and select ‘Save DDS’ at the bottom. With that information you can create your own, now for your particular case I believe the images should contain only the canvas unlike my example that has other parts. Using a program like paint dot net, gimp or photoshop you can create your own and save it as dds with either dxt1, dxt3, or dxt5 compression. To copy the hash click on the image you want to replace and press ‘enter’ to invoke the ‘Resource Details’ window, then press ‘Copy RK’ and then ‘OK’. Drag and drop your image and when the Resource Details appears click on ‘Paste RK’ and then on ‘OK’, the original _IMG will be strikethrough which means we succeed, now just save the package (CRTL+S). I’m making a lot of assumptions but these are the general steps to replace images inside packages and it might help with what you need.

Do not want to change pictures in that mod, but it is very helpful in general manipulating pictures in some packages, since I am always unsure in which format this DDS files shall be saved.

That seems like some pretty basic instructions and will most likely give me a push in the right direction. Although ive never actually modified one of these before it cant be that hard to figure out. thanks for the info ill let yall know what comes of it

At least for clothes everything else is dxt1, I’ve seen dxt3 textures in hair. 3 hours ago, thegratechin said: cant be that hard to figure out I’m almost sure this is just a texture swap no need to mess with scripts, meshing or other stuff.
