/ WIP On Early Stage \ Another Monster From The Witcher 3 \ Me Watching The Alpha Part Suddenly Disappear

VTF baking small guide

The Valve Texture Format (VTF) is the proprietary texture format used by the Source engine. In case some of you might want to convert mdl files for Sims 4.

I firstly discovered this problem a long time ago. I was just about to snap a bake button when I saw that the texture is half-transparent in the UV editor. Model is different but the texture looked something like it:

"Why? How? The model looks fine. It has no visible transparency." It does indeed, but when you try baking VTF something strange happens. Baked texture looks like someone lowed down the brightness and half of it gone completely black. So how do we avoid baking transparency channel? Quite simply, honestly.

Save all the VTF textures you are going to bake in TARGA (TGA) format. Why not png / jpeg? Because only a TGA format preserves the transparency channel we need. Another way of doing it - use VTF Edit utility.

Open our exported TGA in Photoshop (or any other image editor that can work with channels)

Go to channels. What do we have here? An alpha channel. This is what cause our texture to darken. Simply delete it.

Now you can save edited texture in any format comfortable to work with.

Continue showering you with small updates ✨

What do you think about (in)sanity control system? Quite fitting for a horror (game? why am i addressing it as a game 💀) if you ask me. Haven't seen many games using them as a part of a gameplay really.

The horrors beyond human comprehension - now bi-languaged! I'd definitely love to add more immersive icons instead of piles of boring text: it catches player's attention and simplifies the integration process.

do you have any other platforms to get cc?

Hey there! I had previously, but not for now. You can find my old works on SFS, Patreon, Google drive. Maybe I'll put all the recent content on SFS too later on. If you have any problems downloading from Boosty, send me a message and we'll solve it

ARMS CLIPPING FIX GUIDE

This preset I made especially for Goliath's arms. It changes sim arms' appearance making it flat enough for not getting over the edges. You'll find it right after clicking on sim forehead zone. Yet, you can still see some issues with fingers (because the number of fingers doesn't match) but there is no way of actually deleting or even editing them somehow. I tried 😆

Pay attention : due to the Sims 4 Morph Maker's symmetry rule it cannot be applied on one side which means it doesn't work with one-handed version of this mod.

I was 11 when Prototype 2 came out. I clearly remember playing it hours and hours. One of my favourite game series ever! 🥰

Known issues: may not work with some long - sleeved clothing (if know how to fix do tell)

NOTE:

These claws are extremely large which means made suitable for renders and other non - gameplay stuff. You'll need to obtain appropriate poses to avoid mesh clipping. Poses made by me will be available soon.

HOW TO INSTALL:

Just simply put package file in your Sims 4 mods folder. Mods folder usually can be found in C:\Users\User\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods (or if you have the official one, same subfolder would be in Origin / Steam folder; depends on where you bought game copy)

Remember to check out if mods are enabled in game settings.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me 🥰
