Freezerbnuuy's Sims 4 CC-making and Storytelling Tutorials

A lot of the emission layer guides I've come across are quite old, generally unclear with some missing or vaguely-explained steps, and some of them have the wrong dimensions listed for the size of the emission map in relation to the type of CAS object that's being edited. I have wanted to make an up-to-date Emission map guide for a long time that is in-depth, clearer, and in more broken-down steps. I originally learned from the rough tutorials about it on Sims 4 Studio, but they are older and refer to things we don't need to do anymore to import the option for an Emission map into a .package, amongst other things. I will also cover a completely unexpected snag I hit in the making of this tutorial and will explain the issue that I eventually found in CAS tools hours after I'd fixed every other possible issue.  This is a guide to the Emission map that makes CAS content glow, and how to edit it to make glowing or flashing designs on CC! This is will also explain the applic...

Through curiosity and looking at Valhallansim's Bloodtotem Horns  from 2017 in Blender, and a little help from a friend, in looking at the mesh I realised - did I just figure out how to make the glowing body parts and CAS objects? And eventually I did. It took me like 6 hours, but...! I tried to figure out through some trial and error and many fuck-ups how to make glowing-edged body parts and then CAS items as well. At first I thought Valhallan had extruded the 'edges' of the mesh and made them glow and made it SimGlass for transparent edges, but that's not it. It's a lot easier actually how that edge glow works! So now I'm going to teach you what I learned to the best of my ability. You've seen this style here with Valhallansim's Bloodtotem horns and also Zynoox's Tian Horn s on CAS objects. You may also remember in 2024 Strangegrapefruit made the cool glowing hands and arms that were popular. Thank you to anon friend who helped me as I...
