To celebrate having an actual photo-editing program, I decided to make eyes myself so that I got exactly what I wanted. I really love Bruno's set "Behind These Eyes" , but I always thought natural sclera with caruncle makes Sims look devious. I don't know why, it just doesn't look right to me. But the irises in that set are gorgeous, so I really wanted to have it. Fortunately Bruno allows for textures to be re-used in new projects, so I decided to mix his set and Maxis scleras. And so, this set was born!
Now, because I'm a nut job and want people to be able to get exactly what they want, there are quite a few options of this to pick from. You can either get them as default replacements, or as custom eyes. For custom eyes, I wanted to give you options on the genetic setup of these eyes, and have included all the different variations. I have made a flow chart to help you pick the right files for you. If you find it all very confusing, simply download "GummiluttGeneticsNotModified".
Before you pick files, you might want to understand how Sims genetics for eyes work.
Genetics 101
There are three genetic levels. 0, 1 and 2. A Sim has two genes for eyes, and whichever is most dominant will be the one that the Sim displays. If both are equally dominant, then it's random. The genetic values are more dominant the lower they are, meaning 0 > 1 > 2.
All custom eyes are by default genetic value 0. Maxis eyes are arranged so that brown and dark blue have genetic value 1, and the rest have genetic value 2. What this means is that unmodified custom eyes will always be dominant over any other eyes, and equal to other custom eyes. Brown and dark blue Maxis Eyes will be dominant over Maxis grey, green and light blue.
Which file should you download?
If you're still confused, you're welcome to ask in the comments and I'll help you out.

About my creations
--- Currently retired from creating due to health reasons ----
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
