At the moment I've at least got my 13 sim patrons readied up by grabbing some from my library and quickly putting together some new ones, some of which turned out pretty good. Just because I haven't begun taking the pictures yet (and because I still need to see how it works with the number of sims I have, and I possibly need to make another 13 sims so it seems like there's more and different people present ?), here's the sims I've currently got done for this story. Patrons, they're about 50% sims I already had made and 50% sims I just made. Club staff, bartenders and front desk workers, bouncers, club dj and owner/manager Dancers Your male sims look legit, any chance you'll upload a batch of them? My world sorely lacks males with any personality, and I imagine you didn't have to use as much cc to include in the uploads? 1

There's not a whole lot of CC there and for the new ones I've only made a single outfit anyway. Was there anyone in particular you were interested or was it just that you wanted me to upload a bunch of my male sims in general?

If it's not too greedy of me I'd love a bunch just to populate my game with, even if you just uploaded the tray files minus CC that would be great. Just the hair and eyebrows CC would be awesome though.

I tend to take most of my pics at night but I'm learning to like the daytime a little more lol, It's mostly the way the skin tone looks in the sun, it goes a bit pasty for me as I use low graphics, that puts me off but I'm learning to create more shadow which helps to maintain some depth and definition, also those girls seem to photograph very well! I got lucky there! ?

Were you thinking of how the sims look or the world? Still not using any reshade (that I know of ? it's active but I don't believe I have any settings input and I never figured it out anyway), though I actually spent alot of time with the lighting when making that strip club lot. In game lighting goes a long way towards getting good screenshots I find. 1

It's kinda how your sims look in the world, it's surprising that there is no Reshade as the definition is very smooth and the bodies look almost like a solid mass and not a flat 2d image if I'm making sense, some thoughts into lighting definitely goes a long way! 1

Maybe the reshade is doing something, I'm just not aware of it and have gotten used to it? Who knows at this point. 1

I understand the frustrations of lighting and skin tones that can arise, but the daytime pics make for a nice contrast. ?? 1

It does make for a nice change and I find that using the trees for shade helps me a lot, I also have lighting mods by luumia too, for nighttime outdoors pics it's good to make use of street lamps, sometimes hiding them behind trees using bb.moveobjects, Also there is a form of hidden lighting which is found in a debug section of build mode http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=22096.0
porkybork Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Here's my progress for Lilith, the main antagonist: Old: New: Updated her overall appearance and tried to make her look more like a succubus empress since, ya know, that's what she is. I made her build a bit stronger looking since she is incredibly strong. I'm gonna have to recolor a few things to make her look closer to how I wanted, but that shouldn't be too hard. Also, fun fact: I gave Lilith the biggest ass in the story without even realizing. This got me thinking about something; since Lilith is an S-Class warrior mage, the supreme ruler of Gehenna, and basically the embodiment of Hell itself, does that mean butts are superior to boobs? Do you think all her power comes from her ass? Squats are a helluva workout, ya know.? Bonus: Smug and Naked Lilith 3

The hidden ("ambient") lighting is so different from Sims 3. I used to use it literally all the time for stories, the way a photographer adds lighting to shoot a model. I can't for the life of me figure out how to use these -- They either seem too bright, or not bright enough, depending where I place them. Any tips on that?
mrrakkonn Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Got another part done for my strip club/day at work story. Spoiler 6

It got me thinking about the street lamps and bb.moveobjects, and other ways to possibly affect the light from the street lamps. It then occurs to me, lying awake in bed; using bb.moveobjects, I can use any light, shrink it down, and float it in the air at any height. Then, I can adjust the dimmer and color settings of the light. Tested it out and it works brilliantly. After all this time, I don't know why I never thought of that before. Now I feel like an idiot. 2
kortjakje Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Some random pics from my other 'family'. Maybe too many, a bit of a picspam? Also some stills of 2 animations I'm working on. They need some tweaking though. Spoiler 3

mrrakkonn Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 And here's the last part of the story. As I said earlier I went for a more mundane thing with this one than my others, and it was also an excuse to try out some poses and play around with in game animations using the pose player. Spoiler 7
