Step 9: You will get a pop-up like the one below. Step 8: Once you are happy with the colour of your item, you can export it! (You could also ‘overwrite’ the original image, but since I like to add lots of recolours it is better to save each new image individually.) Go to the ‘File’ tab and select ‘export’. The ‘Brightness-Contrast’ options under the ‘Colors’ tab (see step 6) is also useful. You can also play with the ‘lightness’ and ‘saturation’ sliders to brighten/darken or weaken/strengthen the colour. Move the ‘hue’ slider till you find a colour you like. Step 7: This is the fun part! You should have a window like the image below. If using GIMP, navigate to the ‘Colors’ tab at the top, and click the ‘Hue-Saturation…’ option. Step 6: Now your image should be ready to edit! Here we will do a simple recolour. If using GIMP a box will pop up, this is what mine looks like (I uncheck ‘load mipmaps’). Go to ‘file’ –> ‘open’ and then find your exported image. Export the image to your desktop and save it under an appropriate name.

Use your name! ? ) You could also put the age and gender in there like ‘FA'(female adult) or ‘MT’ (male teen). You need to give it a unique name, especially if you want to share it! A good format to use is: package file you will drop into your mods folder. Step 3: Save the project to the desktop so you can find it easily. STEP 2: Find the item you want to recolour and choose ‘Next’. There are options at the top to help you filter the content. STEP 1: Select ‘Create CAS Standalone’ and then press the big blue ‘CAS’ button above.įrom the screen below you can search for the item you wish to recolour. However, I recommend using ‘Create CAS standalone’ because it makes it easier to add more content, especially if you are also using other creator’s custom content alongside your own. If you only want to add one or two new colours to an outfit you could choose ‘Add CAS part swatch’ and this just adds the new options to the existing thumbnail in create-a-sim. Ok, once you have Sims4Studio downloaded and installed you can go ahead and launch it.
