Most preview images were rendered in Blender using an Emission Shader to highlight the raw details of the skin. Please note that The Sims 4 renders textures at a maximum resolution of 2048px, so the in-game quality can be diference from the preview. For the banner image, I later edited the hair in Photoshop and adjusted the brightness, contrast, and sharpening for artistic purposes.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your patience! I think it's safe to say that this is my BEST skin yet and I'm still surprising myself that I just done this.
I’ve been constantly reworking it since the original release last May, but started being serious on the project in October. I thought to myself, "Oh, it's just a muscular version, it should be easy." Well, it's not 🥹 I kept pushing for a better result, and this is actually the 4th version I've made 😅. This X post of mine was the point where I was finally happy with the facial details. However, the abs in that render were still borrowed from MK IV C3. I really wanted this skin to have its own unique anatomy, so I spent extra time on a brand new abs and back muscles but also have to make sure it support BTTB 7's muscle normal map.
Once I was happy with the body, I spent these last few weeks baking and refining all those high-res details into a Sims 4 friendly shader. Since the base skin is quite flat and meant for 3D renders, I had to bake all the shading directly onto the texture. Honestly, I wish I could import 16K textures into the game! I absolutely love the raw details, right down to the tiny freckles 😭.
I actually thought I wouldn't be able to finish this month because I caught a cold a few days ago, but luckily I recovered quickly and I'm doing fine now.
Overall, this isn't just the "More muscle" update I originally planned it's a complete "Glow up" for the entire MK V collection. (My Sim Valentin also got this Glow up effect because he is my only Sim to use MK V collection😂) I really hope you enjoy it. Have a great day!
