Sims 4 CAS demo available to all (PC users) on Origin!

I`m sorry, but I don`t understand "She can totally pull off the bald look"

bald look = no hair? 

There are too many German translations for "to pull off" so that I`m not sure what you wanted to say.
Sorry again, it`s my bad English.

Haha sorry! Yes bald = no hair. Umm let me see if I can explain, to pull off means to get away with, to succeed at something difficult. Like most people do not look right without hair (especially women) but she looks fine without hair. It's something we say when someone makes a fashion choice that is not popular but still looks good.

Tahera and frozen, I love your Sims!!!

The one with blue skin is really nice, because I had no idea how to use blue/green skins without it looking awful, but yours is great!

[Tahera]

frozenoj, I`ve got it
Thank you.

Thank you, too, Wallin.
My next Sim might be a green one.

So, I finally got around to playing with it, and of course the first thing I did is try to make my Simself.


Not quite right.  The hair isn't long enough, and isn't quite the right color.  A little too much red, but the only hair color with slightly less red was too light. 

It was easier to do than it was in Sims 3.  So that much is good.  You know, if they end up making a fully usable out-of-game CAS function it will probably help the game a lot.  Now I'm wishing they had done that for Sims 3.  I've had more crashes going in and out of CAS than doing anything else in the game.

Mia, your Sim is looking great. Love the blue eyes.

This morning, I followed a tutorial about CC for the Sims 4 CAS Demo and I made a recolor of a dress. The pattern I used was supposed to be seamless but as you can see in the screenshot, it is NOT. I should have tested that before using it 
It want to share it anyway 




BTW, where do these tattoos come from? Is there an option to delete them?

[Tahera]

Before I have to leave (OE is calling), I wanted to show another quick test on Sims 4 CC clothes. I know, the crown and the way i used it, is not a good looking example but I wanted to test if I was able to add "a little something" to the dress that won`t repeat. I also used a color gradient to recolor the original dress.
I`ll try something better when I have more time

Yeah, the crown is not good in that position, but I really like the colour you've chosen, it works really well with that dress.

[Tahera]

The color gradient on this version is the same but I added a texture and diamonds instead of the crown.




The way I used to create my T-Shirts doesn`t work with the CAS 4 Demo. The images get distorted:

Thank you.  Funny thing about the eye color - my own change with my mood.  For the past few years they've been slightly lavender, so that's what I've been using for my Simself's eyes in TS3.  There was no option for any sort of purple or lavender eyes for the Sims 4 demo, which was a little aggravating to me.  I hate the lack of CASt.  Really bugs me.

Now that I think about it, since my Simselves are generally based on how I looked in college (although in TS2 I used a teen Sim, and based her on what I looked like in high school), the hair length is pretty much the right length and style.  Now, though, my hair is MUCH longer, and I part it in the middle and braid it down my back.

I'm pretty OK with my Simself overall.  I gave her the feminine walk as a joke, although I think the most accurate walk for me MIGHT be the swagger.  I don't really swagger, but I swing my arms a lot, so I think that's the closest.

I really love what you've done with that dress!  So do you mean that it's pretty easy to create custom content for Sims 4 already?

The recolors are great, Tahera! I was so far unsuccessful in mine, crashed the game as soon as I tried to use it. I'll have to find a better guide, I guess.


@mia - Yes, there's already people adding CC like crazy. Default replacement hair colors, eye colors (I think they're running into issues with non-defaults right now), clothes textures and recolors, etc. Even animations! I don't know how often it's updated, but this is a site that was linked off SimsVIP that's keeping track of all the various CC that's appearing.

If you didn't see it mentioned before, the best part (depending on how you look at it) is that EA stated that CC does NOT carry over on things you download and upload to the Gallery. This is obviously a little bit of a bummer since Tahera's stuff is so good, but it also means there should be no fear of bad CC getting stuck to things and finding crazy kitchen counters in your game like in Sims 3. I think things you do not own just switch to a default, which is really how it should be.

I've updated my roster now to 27 Sims, and I've got a page on the Sims 4 forums, if anyone wants to check them out!

Thanks for your nice comments!

That happened to me, too. I deleted the broken package and dds files and exported the item again. Then I edited the new file (with the same changes I made before) and it worked.
I hope you`ll know what I mean.

I made a new Sims 4 shirt. It`s so much fun to play with the Demo and the tools for creating CC.
