Guide on making custom coat presets. (Allows for better quality custom coats)
31/08/2023: The guide has been updated to reflect a step I missed - when exporting your custom textures, make sure to select "generate mipmaps", the step is reflected in more detail under the appropriate part. Ctrl+f and enter "mipmaps" to skip to it.
16/10/2023: Updated to add more info re: generating hash ID's.
Okay, I decided to throw this together. There's some things I can't figure out still, but oh well, we're just getting through this as we go.
To clarify what I mean - this is not a stencil or a brush.
This will appear here:
Tumblr media
To preface this guide though, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to make it appear as an individual option in-game, so, these are considered SWATCHES of the original coats.
Okay, with that out of the way.
Things you'll need:
Sims 4 Studio
GIMP
Probably Notepad, but it's optional on how easy it is for you to track things.
Guide:
Tumblr media
These are the tools we'll be using in S4S.
Start by creating your empty package, once you're done, open up Game File Cruiser:
Tumblr media
before you do ANYTHING, make absolutely sure that the search bar below the file list has "EP14" in it, otherwise you will 100% end up editing a cat or a dog coat pattern and that's now what we want, at all.
Add the first horse file to your package
Tumblr media
In our case, it's the Lusitano Dapple coat, don't worry, if you're making a breed-specific coat, you can change this later.
Now that it's been added to our package file, it should look like this:
Tumblr media
We now have two options, I'll explain this to those who don't care about creating a game-generated thumbnail and want to find it easier.
To make your "test" thumbnail, you'll want to copy the instance ID of the file we just added to our package:
Tumblr media
It should look like this, the instance ID should be in 2nd from the top search bar, then, select all and click filter (it just makes life easier than finding the specific file type).
Tumblr media
These are the current, in-game CAS thumbnails. We'll add both of them to the package, they're for ponies and adult horses.
Now you can export these two pictures (They need to be saved as .png's), edit them as you'd like and then import them back into the package.
Now, you CAN add up to 5 different pelt layers that can be easily recoloured in-game, however, we'll only be working with two pelt layers in this tutorial, because it's a tutorial and you'll learn how to make more of them anyway.
Click on "Pet Coat Pattern" and then look over the data:
Tumblr media
From there, Click on "PetPeltLayers":
Tumblr media
The first pelt layer is ALWAYS a solid colour, we'll begin by copying the LayerID (Instance ID) and going back to game file cruiser.
Just like previously, you should keep EP14 in the search bar and just use the instance ID bar to find things, as that's all we'll be doing.
Tumblr media
Add the Pet Pelt Layer to your package file, then, copy the "texture key" from the Pet Pelt Layer:
Tumblr media
Then find the Texture Key:
Tumblr media
This is the solid colour layer, it HAS to be there as this is what will help you edit your base colour. Add this to your package file.
Now, our package file will look like this:
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, we're not done, just yet, we'll want to grab at least the second PetPeltLayer:
Tumblr media
Just like before, we're going to copy the ID and find the Pet Pelt Layer + the Texture for this layer:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, our package file will look like this:
Tumblr media
You can now go ahead and close the Game File Cruiser, we won't be using it anymore.
Right now, this is our package file and we need to do some cleanup first.
We'll be opening up the PetPeltLayers once more and we'll remove the last 3 entries:
Tumblr media
You should be left with only two entries, as that is what we'll be editing (leaving the other 3 will break the preset).
Now, we'll start generating new hash codes for everything:
Tumblr media
Edited 16/10/2023: When generating your hash ID's, please use your creator name ie.: "[YourCreatorName/Blogname]TutorialPetBreedCoatPattern11", this will give you a more unique hash code than hoping to be as descriptive as possible when generating the hashes (in this case instance ID's).
Thanks to Mizore Yukii for this advice, from Creator's Musings discord.
As in my previous guides, be descriptive with what you're typing there and then just change the last number.
The process is annoying and slow, so bear with the images, and follow along.
Tumblr media
The TextureKey coloured in red is the 3rd ID you'll generate, it's what links the texture to the Pet Pelt Layer, which links it to the Pattern we're creating. (Sorry for the squished thumbnail, open it in your browser, I was running out of picture space for the rest of the tutorial lol).
And now we repeat this for the second Pet Pelt Layer.
Now, if you want the game to just generate the thumbnail for you, you can skip this step, if you want to make a custom thumbnail, then copy the Pet Coat Pattern Instance ID into the two Thumbnails we've added to our package file:
Tumblr media
This is what the package file has to look like at this point.
Now is the relatively easy part, editing the second RLE 2 Image. We won't touch the base, because it's not necessary.
I recommend using the Horse Diffuse Map as a base when you're drawing your pattern. It'll be easier to see what you're doing. You can download it here: Horse Diffuse Map.
Remember, that your pattern HAS to be white, black space is IGNORED by the game and considered a "transparent" layer, so that you can see the layer beneath the you're working on.
This is my quick, and lazy test one I've made, I use a PNG of the Diffuse Map as a base and on a separate layer I draw with white coloured brushes:
Tumblr media
You may notice the very straight lines on the diffuse map - make sure to colour OVER them as if you do not, it will appear in-game because those are the seams where the mesh "meets"
Once you're satisfied with your pattern, you can go to export, just make sure that the white pattern is on a separate layer to the diffuse map. At this point you can add a black background underneath the white and export.
All you have to do is export the RLE2 Image you've edited as a DDS image in the L8 format and (edited 31/08/2023) select "Generate mipmaps" otherwise you will experience a glitch in-game where the coat disappears. You can leave the mipmap options as default, it should work correctly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then, we're going to import it into our package and save our package:
Tumblr media
Remember to not touch the completely white base coat!
Now that this is over, we'll go back to Pet Coat Pattern and edit some settings.
Tumblr media
The first three settings is what I recommend changing around. The first setting changes the breed, the second setting changes how the coat pattern is labeled and the third setting changes the colour it's tagged under.
Only change "TagValue" - it will give you a dropdown menu, don't change anything else. The TagValueNumber changes automatically, so don't worry about it.
EDITED TO ADD:
Additionally, don't forget to go into "PetPeltLayer" and change the colours, this is what will show up as "base" colour that you can change in-game. You can change them for every PeltLayerData file you have.
Tumblr media
Now, save and go test it out in game:
Tumblr media
Bada bing, bada boom we've got our "custom" coat preset.
If I've forgotten anything, let me know. This took me 2 hours to write, so forgive my typos. If anything is unclear, let me know. I ran into a struggle with the picture limit on Tumblr (found out that it's 30, I should move my guides somewhere else, but where?)

The twins were gifted with kittens by their parents
Tumblr media
Understandably, the death of their grandfather, Odin, has weighed heavy on the family. They've been depressed and miserable ever since.
Their parents Ezelia and Darius decided to surprise them with kittens to help them process their emotions.
They've named them Oddy and Ozzy (inspired by their grandfather)
You may also notice that Ezmiah's eyes are red, not from tears but from drugs. Her mother was disappointed but understood why she turned to w33d. Instead of punishing her, they spoke and she promised to not do drugs again.

Here’s a little sneak peak at my latest build! A plaza I saw and decided to bring to my game. I made just about every sign & poster even a handful of deco CC catered the build! It’s mainly used as a latin nightclub. But has a fully functional SUBWAY thanks to Insimnia’s functional SUBWAY food stall!

I figured it out a few hours later (mostly, some of the data is still a mystery to me, but I've got a guess what it does, but can't get it to do the thing, will investigate later).
now the question is, what brushes do I want and actually require?
is there a brush anyone else wants/needs? i'm currently looking at some very very basic, round, soft-brushes, that size down nicely. I've been playing around a lot with using my huion tablet to paint in-game (it def isn't ideal, but it does make it a tiny bit easier than using my mouse)
if anyone is interested, i can post the work process, to get it to this point, because when i was looking for a guide, i found none, just elfdefense on s4s forums asking a question i had ran into (bless them again, for figuring it out)

Pet Clinic - Newcrest
Newcrest is a neighborhood with lots of greenery, and consequently lots of animals. And the residents care very much about their well-being!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you may wonder what a ferris wheel is doing on a veterinary lot. I wanted to include it to give a sort of "continuity" to the neighborhood, as if there was a park near the vet where you could spend some free time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in fact you can use this lot both as a vet and as a small park. But that's not all, in fact your sim can "live" here, if he/she buys the clinic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that's where your pets will be taken care of:

I hope you like it!
