Hi Valentina, I Love Your Work And Really Looking To Learn How To Make Sims 4 Maxis Match Furni. Do You

Hi Valentina, I love your work and really looking to learn how to make sims 4 maxis match furni. Do you have any tips or tutorials? I create in second life so I'm very familiar with blender, mostly looking for help with the spec maps and texturing as i feel my stuff always comes out so shiny. Thank you in advance <3!!

Hey! Thank you! I don't think I'm an expert but I can give some tips I usually do to achieve a MM look (although I think my objects are not exactly MM in style).

I think it starts with the modeling. MM items don't have too small details and too thin parts. I like to think about this as if I would have to craft miniature models in real life. No matter how hard I would try, there are some things that are too small to knit/sculpt/draw etc. You can always tell these are miniatures. So I try to start with this in mind and skew the real life ratios of an item to give them a slight cartoony look.

For texturing I can suggest that use simple, stylized textures, not too dark shadows. Try handpainting simple details on you textures. For the specular map, I usually search for something similar in material from the in-game items and export their spec map to see what colors I should use. My best trick yet is to use Gradient Map in Photoshop to match the colors to the in-game one's. I always reduce the alpha layer so it isn't too overpowering. But you have to test a lot to see if it looks good or not.

I hope I could help you! Best of luck with your MM journey!

Jonathan can't sleep in the same room as Nancy in her mom's house, Karen probably is not that chill. So Mike decides that Jonathan can have his room and he can sleep in the basement with Will.

Imagine them hanging out/sleeping under that little fort that Mike had in S2. Just imagine

joyce is in karen’s house… because the byers had no where to stay… which means will is also there… which means will living with mike real
