Hi,

Every thing was going great until today when I tried it out on a Sim, in the game and I found a very big problem with, i.e. every thing is good up and till I go to save the Sim, when I noticed that the Sims, skintone was missing and had been replaced by an full black tone.
Dose any one know what is happing and to change it and stop it from happing again?

I am guessing that the tattoo image isn't recognized as having a transparent background by the game. Suggest setting transparent background and saving file as .dds to import into object.

OK, well I checked both S4S and Paint.net settings and the only save setting is BC3 (Linear, DXT5) as saving as anything else does not work with S4S.
And having checked all the different settings in both programs and finding nothing, so now can you please explain how I do just that and please bear in mind that a tattoo is a CAS, item not buy/build.

Hi, the image is saved as a Direct Draw Surface (DDS).

Hi, I would love to share my project with you, but as I am unable to locate the upload button, how can I share it with you?

I believe you need to share it on a third-party hoster, like Simfileshare, Dropbox or Mediafire, and post a link to it here.

As Rebellina said. We don’t offer hosting on the forum. You can use any of free fileshare services mentioned above.

Your DDS has no mipmaps, which can cause the texture to disappear in-game if you're not zoomed in very close. You need to either save it as DDS with Generate MipMaps checked, or save it as png and import that.
