Hi, this is my first time posting here. I have resized a book from TS4 in Blender 2.91 and then imported it to Blender 2.76 and from there I want to import my new resized book into S4S but I can't cause the mesh disappears when I have chosen the file in S4S. I'm using one of the toddler books as the other books are to thick. I'm a beginner. Anyone who can help me?

You can share your .blend file so someone can have a look at it.

Here's the link to my project:
Let me know if this link doesn't work either!

You need to fix your link. It just comes back to this exact page.
Does your mesh have the correct cut numbers and bone assignments?

I have no idea, where do I see the cut numbers and bone assignments? Fixed my link!
I found one place where it says Cut, but when I click on a mesh group nothing shows up in the box beside it... When I imported the EA object directly into 2.76 it says 1 in the cut box in the S4studio CAS Tools section. I don't get how to resize in that version though and I can't find the cut numbers and bone assignments in the 2.91 version. To be clear, I DON'T want to replace EA's original book. But I guess I don't do so since I used Selective Clone when choosing the item to use.

Looking at the blend file in 2.76 it appears that porting between the two blender versions has stripped the cut numbers and bone information. I'm not sure but I don't think the s4studio plugins are supported in 2.91.
The cut numbers are needed to tell studio which mesh groups to replace. Since there are no numbers at all it doesn't know what to do with your mesh. Since the bones are also missing from the blend it also means that if you do get your mesh to import by adding the correct cut numbers, it won't animate when a Sim uses it.
I've never used blender 2.91 so I don't know how mesh editing differs from 2.76 to be able to instruct you further.
Which Sims 4 book did you look at before going with the toddler book? I just ask because there is the regular chunky book but there is also a thin version as well which is used by most level 1 skill books. Just in case that might be an easier route for you to go down.

The one I used in the file I posted here is a Children's book with a dog on its cover. I think it's too thick to be a children's book so I just tried to press it together to make it thinner. I know others who create cc in one blender version and then import it to a version that's compatible with S4S so I tried that. I'm using the 2.91 version to create in as it's way easier to see in it as the layout of that version is pretty big and as far as I know it's the latest version that blender offers. Thank you for your attempt to help me  |

menaceman44 This may be a stupid question but if I use an already thinner book like a skill book can I then change that book so it's just a regular book? Not so keen on modding yet...

Just changing the tuning to the same one a regular book uses would work but the book would stretch when Sims use it so you would have to make a copy of the tuning and tell the game it is for a thin book instead.
I'm tired right now and my brain isn't in the right place to be able to explain it to you properly but if it's something you think you would like to have a go at, give me a poke and I'll see if I can write something up for you when I'm more awake.
It's not as complicated as it first seems.
