“Why does my accessory gets blurry?”

greenplumbboblover:

Ever wondered why your Accessories gets all blurry when adding more and more accessories to your sim? Well there is an explanation for this! 

So we all know that us, as CC creator and simmers who uses mods, that Accessories will get blurry if we would add more accessories to our sim. Especially the ones we really want our sim to wear to make them perfect, or just because someone made it that way instead of a top or bottom. But why?

Let’s take a look to EA’s everything-merged-together texture that every sim carries around with them:

You see the red square? That’s our accessory textures! As you can see, there are two accessories on this sim, which means that it will get blurrier and blurrier if something got added to it. Everything will made smaller and smaller to make it fit. The clothing area is much bigger compared to the scalp, hair, and whatever is going on on this image. (The green image is actually a hair, but I’ve no idea what my sim wore.)

Why did EA do this? To be honest, I have no idea, but I suppose it’s for making the game read/render the texture images easily.

This is fascinating. How do you get to see a everything-merged-together texture? Are you opening a sim in S3PE or something?
