The Supernatural Saga

GracieO312GracieO312 Posts: 1,291 Member
I've spent the last two days or so turning my sims into Telltale characters just because of reasons...

I've decided to start a new dedicated thread here instead of spamming the favourite pic thread so mods feel free to move to appropriate area please! Thanks in advance.

I've been watching a lot of supernatural K-dramas recently and was inspired by the shows W and Extraordinary You (Netflix) so I thought it would be fun to turn my sims from my supernatural save into cartoons!

In order of appearance in my story:

Vincent (Vampire)
n6F1w1e.jpg

Thorne (Possessed Human)
2GZcSHH.jpg

Iko (Alien)
wZVpRvF.jpg

Zeke (Human - hopefully will turn into a werewolf, fingers crossed!)
fXyuO5G.jpg

Jenova (Evil Alien)
yQCZ59x.jpg

Banora (Mermaid)
JKHPadC.jpg

Levana (Evil Spellcaster)
dALrHY3.jpg

Lara (Human - bonus cameo character!)
4nqt4Y5.jpg

I have more characters that I wish to add but we simply don't have the packs yet (werewolves/fairies) so the list is by no means complete yet. I also have a backstory for Levana and Jenova with even more albeit slightly less... exotic characters haha!
Hope you enjoy my cartoon heroes (and villians) :smiley:

    Are they all in the same home?
  • GracieO312GracieO312 Posts: 1,291 Member
    No I play rotationally most of the time. Sometimes I combine households to make it a bit easier for staging screens though but then separate again after - I'm not very good at playing mulitple sims at once haha!

    Awesome! They all look really interesting and well done on making the pictures, I really like how they look. :)
    Also: Yay Lara!!
  • GracieO312GracieO312 Posts: 1,291 Member
    Aww thank you that means a lot!

    Lara is pretty cool - still not entirely sure how she'll fit in yet but I'm currently building Croft Manor to place into my save.

    I've been making more since I initially posted haha! I think I might be a lil obessed with doing it now haha.

    Levana's backstory characters:

    Yuffie (Human)
    P9g4WF9.jpg

    Evrett (Human)
    n9WlfVt.jpg

    Sid (Human)
    eVl4PeA.jpg

    They're her uni roommates!
    I also played around with an evil fairy character but obviously we don't have fairies...yet

    Adira (Fairy)

    Thank you! I think I would have to pick this girl - I don't usually make my own sims because I am not that great when it comes to CAS but she is probably the prettiest but meanest sim I've ever made. I also tweaked her edit because it looked off to me!

    I've also been playing around with backgrounds. Some look like they're from an anime!

    Also: Sid the human reminds me of/sounds like Adventure Time's Finn the Human haha :smiley:
  • NindlNindl Posts: 510 Member
    Cool, I also built Croft Manor in the Sims 3 and the Sims 4. :smiley:
    Wow, the new characters look awesome as well. Very, very creative!

    So I went ahead and edited some of my favourite gameplay shots from my story. I had to put them in spoilers because there are quite a few... I tried to put them in chronological order as well. Enjoy :)

    You've done a very good job of transforming the characters and the images into a graphic novel look. I'm very impressed.

    This looks fantastic. It's like the sims' facial and emotional expressions look much better with the line art. I think you're on to something here. I immediately went to see if I could produce some similar results on some random screenshots. And even though yours look better (you probably put a lot more work into it than I did), you certainly have inspired me to never upload any more in-game screen images without putting a cartoon filter on them. It's like you add more depth and bring out texture details that aren't all that visible in-game. Everything certainly stands out more.

    Great creative graphic story Gracie0312!

    I love these, hope you keep sharing them
  • GracieO312GracieO312 Posts: 1,291 Member
    Oh my gosh! This means the world to me!! Thank you all for the support and appreciation for my pictures <3

    @Zimz4 I know, right? It's definitely given me more appreciation for the artstyle of Sims 4 (not that I didn't like it before). I am honoured that you have been inspired by my thread!

    @blueybluesky I haven't got anymore in game shots (been busy building/finding houses/lots for story purposes) but I do have some more characters that I can make edits for.
  • SimmervilleSimmerville Posts: 11,644 Member
    Technically you edited the pictures, right? This is not in-game mod? Looks super cool, want to have such illustration posters on my wall :)

    Yes I edited them using 3rd party software. I don't use any mods other than Pose Player. I kinda wish it was a mod though - would certainly take less time haha! :)

    Some new character edits for you all!

    I played around with another werewolf character - technically she's still human...

    Nyx (Werewolf)

    Reno (Alien)

    I also played around with it in the Sims 3... sorry the picture isn't that great :smiley::wink: but I think it kinda works??

    Wow I'm absolutely blown away. Zimz4 is right I find myself admiring the subtle textures never noticed before. You've not began your story and I'm already having fun just looking at your pictures.
  • GracieO312GracieO312 Posts: 1,291 Member
    I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the sims do indeed have fingernails... ish hahah :smiley: I am particularly enjoying how the hair/beards/stubble looks although this process has made me realise how much we desperately need more stubble options in game! Ohh just imagine how good body hair would look!! Please, EA! PLEASE!! I don't really enjoy CC shopping so I would love some official assets.

    New character time!

    @GracieO312 I found CC that you can add more detailed fingernails and toenails. If you're interested, I could try to find the d/l site again. Ironically I haven't really used them yet since I keep forgetting I have them. :P

    @Admiral8Q Aww thanks for the heads up - not much of a CC player (just not my thing) but always nice to know there are those kind of options out there.

    So I was playing around in my editing software and noticed that there was an easier way to showcase what images look like before applying/after applying the cartoon filter. Thought it was quite interesting seeing how many details there are in the textures especially in environmental/outdoor pictures.

    Okay, now I want that filter you use in-game so the game looks like that all the time while I'm playing (optional in settings of course as there will always be people who don't like a change like that). One more thing for the developers to do on their endless to-do list that never seems to get any shorter.
  • SweetieWright_84SweetieWright_84 Posts: 4,119 Member
    I really like the look of this. It actually makes the game feel more alive? I wonder if this is something that could be done in Reshade? I don't use it but I would if there were a preset for this.
