After a long break from creating custom clothing for children and toddlers for The Sims 4, I have decided to start up again. Because I haven't created anything for a while, this was quite a learning curve for me.
Unfortunately, my Photoshop doesn't work any more and even though I have it on disc format, the registration number from the back of the box isn't recognised. I contacted Adobe online and was given a different number for some reason but that doesn't work either! Each time I went back to ask for help, the number I was given was the same as before! In the end I gave up and purchased Affinity Photo.
On a side note, the fact that my Adobe Photoshop no longer works, I feel that I should be given a refund. I wish I had purchased Affinity Photo in the beginning as it is just a fraction of the price - £49.00! Affinity does what Adobe does, apart from one thing...
It doesn't support DDS files!
As you may or may not know, DDS is the file format for creating stuff for computer games, including The Sims.
After a lot of fluffing about however, I found that Gimp (which is free) does support DDS files after installing the plugin.
So after watching tutorial videos on YouTube on how to install the DDS plugin, how to use Sims 4 Studio and figuring out the settings that I needed to export the files, I was again, back in business, so to speak!
I have made a few pyjama sets and the first one that I am releasing is Octopus Pyjamas for Children.
You can get early access to these PJ's on my Patreon or if you hang on until the 25th June, you can download them from my blog via the "The Sims 4 Custom Clothing Downloads" page above.
And I have made a few more PJ's that I will be releasing soon over the next few weeks, so to keep updated with everything, subscribe to me on YouTube and/or follow this Blog! All clothing will have an early release on Patreon and will be posted on this Blog after around 3 weeks.
I hope that you and your Sims enjoy these pyjamas just as much as I enjoyed making them!
