How to Design Custom Eyes for The Sims 4

What you’ll need:

Sims 4 Studio
An image editing software

You’ll use the image editing program to play with colors, sizes, and other visual traits. You can use Photoshop or GIMP.

The first offers countless options and customization features but you need a license to unlock all the features, while the latter is free to use.

Sims 4 Studio is a great tool that you can use to create all kinds of custom content, including new textures for hair, eyes, or clothing.

Here are the steps to follow:

Launch Sims 4 Studio
Click on the CAS button
Select Add CAS Part Swatch
Click the CAS button again to open the customisation page
Under Part Type, select Eye Colour
Use the additional design options available such as Gender and Age to further customize the design of your eyes.
Select the eye color design that you like
A new window will pop up prompting you to name your package file
Name and save your package file
Open it and further customize the texture
Select Diffuse and export the new texture as a PNG file
Open your texture file using your image editing software
Further adjust the eye design by modifying the hue, saturation, and color
Save the file when you’re happy with the end result
Return to Sims 4 Studio where you opened your eye color package
Select Import to import the texture file you just created
Now open your Mods folder
Add the newly-create package file in the Mods folder
You can now use your new custom eyes on your Sims.
