I wonder if there are more people with the bug where meshes with adjusted alpha in them, show up in the game as non-alpha? CC plants and original meshes with alpha in them work fine, but when i make a mesh and add alpha in them, they show up non-alpha in the game. Here is an example: Normal with alpha  show up as non-alpha in the game now  It seems this is after the C&D update, but im not certain about it, so i wonder if there are more complaints about this so i can assure that this is caused by the update or not.. |

I have a few files which worked fine before the update, but here is the fireplace (It also suddenly has a texture problem with black shadows on the mesh): www.mediafire.com/file/kacbtb9514ddfp2/-FUR-%20Framed%20fireplace.packageI think it does not happen in other peoples game but i need to figure out what the problem is so i can fix it. Taking all my mods out did not help :( I have another thread with another problem about the lights not showing up since the update and i reported it also in the thread for that.. seems like a similar issue, since it also does work well in other peoples game. But i need to find the reason for this if its not a C&D related issue. |

What do you mean by "black shadows"?
I believe you have your graphic settings in low, with post processing unticked. have you tried enabling that? Maybe they changed something on the settings. This is something i've been thinking about, it might not be related but it's worth the try.
I'm looking at the package and i can't really tell what's the problem with it. If you have the christmas update, there's a fireplace that already has alpha in it by default. can you try cloning that and importing all your textures to see if the issue is the alpha part that you're modifying?

I will make that file 2morrow to see if the made alpha is really the problem. I was also thinking about my settings and then i set them all on ultra and nothing changed. I will check if that box is unticked or not, cause didnt know about that yet. Gotta do that tomorrow cause i just closed the game  |

I now cloned the mesh into the christmas update fireplace and still alpha wont show in my game. But isnt it kind of weird that alpha (original or made) does show on plants? The original items with alpha do also work fine. Also the christmas fireplace works well. SOme CC plants have a bit weird outlining, black usually. I already had my settings high or very high and the box was ticked, so i unticked it. ( i actually already had ticked/unticked it before i realised when i checked the settings). When i started up my game with ultra high setting and the unticked post processing, it was also the same. I have no idea why this happens and its pretty annoying, cause i need to upload files after a week due to an event i organized, so i need to have them working properly in my game. Hope someone can figure this out.. are there maybe other settings thats can cause this? This is what i play with:  Also cleaned out my cache files and nothing changed.. |

If you clone the christmas fireplace, without doing any edits whatsoever.. does it still work on your end? if it does, then it's the textures of your item. Or something related to the things you're importing afterwards.

The christmas fireplace works, just as any other EA mesh in my game. CC does not work, unless for plants. I do not understand why. This fireplace always worked fine and suddenly it doesnt anymore. I have the same with a few other alpha meshes that i have not touched. It all happened after the C&D update. I also have the other problem with the light up objects not working as it should. It looks like these 2 things are for some reason the same.. just cant figure out why.
I have created other meshes with alpha, but unless i clone a plant (or cc plant), it wont work...

Try using the S4S cheat alphalpha (exactly as written). Open the cheat bar the same way as in game, CTRL+SHIFT+C.

Opened the game, types alphalpha in the cheat box, then placed the fireplace and other items but still not showing alpha.. I do not get it anymore. ALl the files work in other peoples game, so there must be something in my game itself that causes is. If its not for the mods that are conflicting or settings, then what is it? Not really wanting to install my game again, but if that would work.. i can try? You think that would matter?? |

The cheat is for Sims 4 Studio, not for the game...
But if you're saying that the files work on other's peoples game then there's little we can do about it.Have you tried right clicking the game in origin and repairing it? Do a back up of your saves/mods/tray before this.

Do a back up of your saves/mods/tray before this. didnt understand that part. I made me think it was somehow done in the game, cause of the similar cheat bar. I did use it in s4s now with the open fireplace package, saved the file, replaced the one in the mod folder, opened the game, tested it out and.. still not. I really would like to know if this could be related to the latest C&D update?? I mean there's a lot of issues and it all started after this as far as i remember. Still have an unanswered thread open about my lit up DTS images not showing up as well... |
