The Sims 4 has an annoying 'feature' (read: glitch) where, when using the tab mode camera and tilting it up, distant shadows disappear quite abruptly. This makes the world look flat and lifeless, and has ruined countless otherwise beautiful screenshots for us all!
After lots of head-scratching, a frustrated (and unanswe...

Henford-on-Bagley is a beautiful world let down by less-than-beautiful lighting. Thatched is my attempt to provide a more balanced colour palette that better suits the lush, rolling farmland and rich vegetation, while having that little bit extra for special screenshots that utilise the stunning sunrises and sunsets.

I had an ask over on tumblr about how to tweak MXAO settings in the latest versions of ReShade. I thought I'd do a quick tutorial setting out how best to learn what everything does, along with an explanation of each of the settings. This will cover the basics, and assumes you already know how to install ReShade and make sure ...

I've remade Planet Honey Pop more times than I can remember over the lifetime of The Sims 4. I think this is my favourite version of it!

This is the first kitchen I've recoloured! I really love the cosy feel of the new Cottage Living kitchen, but felt its palette was really very limited. It seemed like Image Spectra was a great fit, with lots of soft, muted tones, as well as some richer colours for when you need to make things POP!
Included:
A few more options for your bikes, in my Dream Pop colours.

I'm putting together a list of ReShade tutorials I want to write to help people with some common issues, and also to help people understand ReShade a little bit better. I'd love your feedback on what you'd like to see covered if possible.
So far, for example, I've got planned things like:

I've been trying to put together this palette for a while now. I have enormous respect for people who create lots of colour palettes - it's really difficult (for me, at least), especially if you're making it specifically for a game where you need to check how it performs in various lighting conditions. This has taken far too ...

The oldest building in Evergreen Harbour, Port Promise Railway Station was once a busy hub of activity for a community untroubled by the rapid de-industrialisation that ripped the town apart.
