Remember when we said that terrain replacement was a work in progress?  Let’s introduce a NEW version of our terrain mods.

As the Sims 4 game is growing bigger with expansions, we think it will be easier for us to split/re-order the subject of game terrains for present and future expansions and versions …

What’s up and new with this big update?

We reviewed all terrains files from the ground. We kept most of them, we updated some ( many ) and for all: we tried to modify as close as possible to the Maxis colour palette files.

K-505 Terrain Replacement … A beloved challenge idea we had to update especially since the last Cats & Dogs Expansion ( November 2017 ) So, now, this thread will be only dedicated to the Base Game Terrain files ( this includes Willow Creek, Oasis Spring and New Crest )

Once this is done with this update, we could consider doing more Terrains Replacements in different deviations such as Autumn colours, Darker palette, etc … Well, we shall cover the subject later ;)

So, we re-organize the whole thing :

1) the Base game files + the ALL Worlds files

2) the 44 EA floor paints

3) the Addendum floor paints

Questions & Answers

Will it overkill your game?
Not at all. Most EA files for Worlds are 1024px, we used the same and we changed/modified the textures. This is why it is a replacement

Ok. Still, doesn’t look quite the same outside your backyard than in the park next door.
We know. Maxis doesn’t manage terrain files the same way everywhere. Here is our hypothesis: outside your playground, there’s a grid. The game is applying the files on a grid which seem to stretch the same file perhaps 4/6/8 times larger than on the playfield. We work hard to level the differences between the limits of your lot and the rest of the world so everything is harmonious and seamless as possible. Unless we get a World Builder Tool or confirmation of our hypothesis, this is the best we can do … Well maybe not the best of the best but this is a stable work still in progress!

How do you know you have the latest files?
Easy. We wrote the date in the files’ names :) So, the latest files got “022018″ such as k-terrain-basegame-grass-replacement-ea-022018

Let’s move on …
What is this about? This is about covering ALL Terrains for the Sims 4 and every expansion/pack. The K-505 TERRAIN REPLACEMENT will now replace the Base Game ONLY … It will be the only matter of this post which will be re-blogged times to times :)

- Basegame Grass Terrains Replacement

They override some of the games files. They replace everything terrain files based game. It’s green? It’s grass? BAM! It’s k-hippied. No question asked (xx)

We couldn’t do it with that vomito green since the beginning. Grass, the real one. One you wish Pets was released so your little pets could happily roll in it :D

You can feel the grass under your pixelated feet, don’t you? You can smell the fresh perfume of summer or spring … Grass to take over everywhere!

- Basegame Sand & Earth Terrains Replacement

All that is a bit sandy, a lot of sand or totally beach. We never thought there will be so much sands in that game when green is all over the place. With this replacement with thoughts for the players who like to play in Oasis Spring. You all deserve a real impression of sand, not just a vague beige colour.

- Basegame Rock Terrains Replacement

These files will change the look of all rocks that are terrains but not the one in Build mode. We will do them too at a later date ( but soon  ) They will give a better look at all that is rock or cliff. The textures might be a bit stretch, we respected EA files of 1024x1024 but we are not quite pleased with the result. As always, it’s a work in progress …

- Basegame Urban Terrains Replacement

If vomito-green was too much for us, can you imagine how it felt to have those streets with some grass without our grass? Errr … it was terrifying but we found almost all of them.

- Basegame Diverse Terrains Replacement

As written, diverse terrain files ( not much ) useful to modify ! Evil laugh …

Be the master of your terrains and lots !

Please note, we will update as we go for this set :)
Don’t hesitate to ask questions and remember, replacements won’t overload your game.

Since you can’t have our files with another creator’s files replacement, here is a pro tip: put all the files in a folder inside your Mods folder. When you’ll wish to change, you’ll know where to look ;)

These files Override the game files, and works fine in game …
