How to Use White Art in the Sims 4

Updated! 18th. August 2021

A lot has inverse and I haven't been online in a long while.

Some other update damaged our dream to create NOCC Fine art. Yet, there are Simmers who are still able to create them.
How does this piece of work now, you wonder?

What volition you need to exercise ahead? Practice this earlier you starting time to create your ART!

1. Have your images gathered in ane place, if you want to paint them later in your game (e'er choose those with the highest resolution)
2. Photograph Edit-Software like Photoshop, Gimp, or Paint.net (bank check beneath for more than info on that)
3. Sims4Studio-Software Link
4. TS4 & TS4 Legacy Edition (gratuitous to download via Origin if you ain TS4 already)
5. Two Mods, one that will better the quality of your images the other to make it work! Ready filters on paintings by reference and XML Injector" both are past Scumbumbo
6. Some time and a bit of patience, Simmer.

mysimsdreamhouse fabricated also a video tutorial on Youtube hither. For those who need visuals! Thanks for your time and effort to do this!

Proceed in mind yous don't need Photoshop in social club to create your own art! Brand sure to follow mysimsdreams' video instructions on how to install the Legacy Edition As you volition need to choose the 32bit Version during installation and disable Origin ingame!

Now you can either spotter the video tutorial or keep to read my extended tutorial. Let the fun role brainstorm.

At that place you get:
There are two ways how you lot tin create your own art & upload them to the Gallery every bit NOCC:

1. Y'all download existing CC and paint those for the upload
2. You're using Sims 4 Studio download here and create your own art with pictures/images from Google. A very useful and piece of cake tutorial did TheSimSupply simply bank check his youtube tutorial here

Remember you will need an "Image Editing Software" for that like Photoshop or utilise Freeware instead like Paint.net "easier for newbies" or Gimp "cracking if u have advanced skills. Type those names in the search bar of Google and you lot will detect what you need.

NOTE
You lot don't need to save the images every bit .dds files you can relieve them as well equally .png files because lot of editing software don't support .dds files (in well-nigh cases you need a seperate plugin for this) and .png files are way easier for this purpose to handle trust me!

Let'S START
Assuming you lot have already the art of your desire you want to turn into NOCC for the gallery, merely go along with the now following steps:

1. Remove all existing mods
2. Create a new salve file with a new random Sim (brand certain information technology doesn't accept needy traits I used "Artistic, Loner, Cheerful) who will be your painter! After that, I named my save file "ArtGallery" Now exit The Game! Pronto! LOL
3. Add at present the art (.package files) of your desire into the mods binder
4. Open the new salvage file "ArtGallery" (I went to Newcrest)
5. Utilise two empty side by side lots
6. Setup of the first lot: Utilise the foundation tool to build a iii-tile broad foundation "place it very close to the edge of the lot near the second lot for the instance to accept the CC from the 2nd lot close to you lot) add stairs to the foundation. Place along the whole manner the about expensive easels . And so since our simmies get hungry, need to pee and slumber I did build beneath a bunk where information technology can become all needs fulfilled
   
7. Use cheats: Open the console with Left CTRL+Shift+C (press/hold in that society) Helpful cheats for that are testingcheats on or testingcheats true motherlode & bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement . Make sure to go the most expensive easels (for the highest/best quality, capeesh?
8. Now set up the 2d lot with your custom content fine art. Place your art very shut to the front edge of the lot nearest to the commencement lot. Place them on a wall up to iii levels with the tallest elevation (my suggestion). I use more often than not a black/sometimes white wallpaper (depends on art) because I do frame them before upload + it looks way better later if you lot aren't 100 % accurate! Identify your art forth the wall (brand certain to leave some infinite in between). HINT: Overstate the art y'all want to paint ii or three times but depends on the art you have - so that you lot can paint it from the other lot fashion easier and it fits within the picture when y'all start to paint. Be prepared sometimes you have to travel between the two lots to arrange the size of your cc art so that it fits inside your painting
9. Time to travel back to the first lot . Brand sure that all needs are satisfied.
10. Best time to paint is during the daytime of course between 8:00 am & 6:00 pm depending on the light furnishings u prefer, which of grade will change during the daytime, take this into consideration Now information technology'due south time to paint by reference (or take a photo) use the cheat stats.set_skill_level major_painting 10 or stats.set_skill_level major_photography 5

In one case the mission is accomplished, your painting or photos will non be flagged as CC. Because you use the Legacy Edition and this one has no connection to the Gallery! Salve it in your library - restart the game and open the Gallery. At present upload the room with your latest NOCC Pictures and yay, it can be used in builds without beingness flagged. Upload to the gallery as a room or inside your build yay.

Farther helpful things are good to know:

Every bit BryonRae (run across quotes) strongly recommended already, so do I:

Shop your artwork in the sim'due south inventory, but not the household inventory, as at that place is a issues that tin can cause them to go bare when stored in the household inventory.

When done imaging your CC, I recommend going to another fresh lot. Prepare up a wall and place all of the created art on that wall "Motherlode" cheat is quite helpful in that example . Save that room to your library and bank check if it's getting flagged. If information technology'southward flagged you must redo all steps & kickoff once more. So a skillful piece of advice is to try it out with one picture first before painting for hours I did that mistake, trust me, lol!

As well, if I could offer just one tip to newer builders, especially those using bb.moveobjects, information technology would exist to make sure to exam saving your lot to the library then placing information technology from there. There are a lot of bugs that don't show their heads until yous do this, so yous won't fifty-fifty know there's a problem with your lot. Only your downloaders will apace find it... I recommend doing this at several points during the building process, so you lot won't discover you have a lot of rework looming at the cease.

Now savour creating your own NOCC - Art! Show off how creative yous are and use this post if you have questions. I might won't be able to answer all questions but swain simmers volition for sure answer if needed.

Show me your creations or hashtag me with #simsforumtutorial by #suepixels on the gallery if you want me to know information technology & show from where you lot got the skills to show your art & show how others tin do it for themselves. Thanks, simmers

Appreciate each insightful/like/awesome you give if yous like it it shows you lot found it helpful.
