myCASmods - Sunflower Eyes For Humans

Check the pictures to know how this looks in-game!

Wanna try something more vibrant and colorful without loosing the cartoon-ish vibe of the game? Do you miss more customization options but most of the Mods doesn't fit your style? I know, sometimes you just need a simple but yet effective solution, and while creating this that has been my initial intention.

Sunflower Eyes For Humans are especially made for Simmers who don't use or like custom content. Part of myCASmods (upcoming collection), theese super duper Maxis Match eyes gives you 18 nice shades (or more thanks to the Extended Palette ) that are perfectly capable to replace the EA ones, or not . Whether you are looking for an improvement of quality in textures, or you just want to try something new for your game, this Mod is for you.

What does this Mod do?

- New upscaled (8K) textures with plenty of colors, available to all age stages (infant to elder), both gender frames & occult compatible.
- Features a Heterochromia Addon, to let your Sims have different colors for each eye. Mesh included, made by me .
- Features a Contacts Addon, if you want to use one single time or outfit specific eye colors while keeping your natural ones intact.
- Features a Newborns Addon, in case you want to use Sunflower on these cutsies, now you can too!
- Features a Evil Clone Addon, for those failed clones with a terrible temper. Requieres Get To Work Expansion Pack to work.

Will it conflict with another Mod?

Conflicts with any file that modifies the same resources.

What file(s) should I download?

Sunflower has three versions: EA Shine (keeps the original speculars), No Speculars (makes the eye reflections mate/inexistent) and Subtle Shine (blurries a little bit the EA Shine and reduces opacity). Each version contains this files inside:

+ Default Normal Palette: replaces the EA swatches (genetic).
+ Default Extended Palette: adds more swatches to the defaut palette.
+ Non Default Normal Palette: clones the EA swatches with Sunflower textures.
+ Non Default Extended Palette: adds more swatches to the no defaut palette.
+ ADDON Normal Palette Contacts: full face makeup, with the EA swatches.
+ ADDON Extended Palette Contacts: full face makeup, with more swatches.
+ ADDON Normal Palette Heterochromia: skin detail in mouth zone, with the EA swatches.
+ ADDON Extended Palette Heterochromia: skin detail in mouth zone, with more swatches.
+ ADDON Newborns: full skin replacement.
+ ADDON Evil Clone: replaces the evil clone Sims eyes textures.

Make sure that if you install any Extended Palette files you also install the Normal Palette associated files too because it's required to make the colors appear in game. Not having both present will cause unpredictable results and visual glitches. Additionally, do the exact opposite thing with entire versions like EA Shine: don't put it in the Mods folder with No Speculars or Subtle Shine, and viceversa.

CHANGELOG:

(If you have any trouble let me know in the comments area.)

- 07/21/24 (Update 2): Please, REINSTALL everything. Remove your Sunflower files and download them again. Incorrect installations will cause bugs.
‎ ‎ * Extended Palette is now available, for all versions & addons.‎‎ ‎
‎ ‎ * New specular version added: Subtle Shine. It's a blurry and more natural lighting option.
‎ ‎ ‎* Evil Clone Addon added. Only works if the Get To Work Expansion Pack is installed.
‎ ‎ * Fixed an error with Contacts not showing up for Infants, Toddlers & Children.
‎ ‎ * Removed unused glitched thumbnails.
‎ ‎ * Improved textures compression and redundancy between equal textures inside the files.
‎ ‎ * All swatches have been rearranged, to locate similar colors more easily.
‎ ‎ * Rebalanced the selection of swatches allowed for randomization. This affects the Normal & Extended Palettes but only on the Eyes Color section. All addons but these ones are disabled for random.

- 07/06/24 (Update 1): Newbors Addon file added. This a full skin replacement, so make sure you don't use any default replacement file or the eyes won't show up.

- 06/28/24: Initial launchment.
