[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! 😣

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.

 

The creator of this tattoo for second life texted me and asked me to make a tag on this post as my inspiration. Of course I will do that
