Hello and welcome to BakieGaming.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a Backdrop Replacement and to be more precisely a Willow Creek City Skyline Backdrop Replacement.
I will show you step by step how to use The Sims 4 Studio in combination with Phtoshop to make this kind of mod. I will also show you how it eventually will look in game.
!!! When making this tutorial I used an older version, therefore some things may have changed a bit.
For example at 1.40, just check the "Show Debug items" checkbox, to see all debug items. !!!
• What to do when using PNG files instead of DDS:
In Studio export the Background textures as PNG file instead of DDS. At 4.25 minutes, you can just go to file, save as and save as PNG file (Format: png).
No need to do anything with the channels tab.
Start the video again at 5.31 minutes to copy the zeppelin to the night skyline.
At 6.20 go to file, save as and save as PNG.
Start the video at 7.46minutes and continu the tutorial.
You will need the following programs to follow this tutorial
• The Sims 4 Base Game
• Photoshop or Gimp ( In this tutorial I'm using Photoshop)
► Gimp download link: http://www.gimp.org/
