Ive made a couple of hat meshes and some people have been complaining that it makes their sim disappear in CAS when they try it on. But Ive tried to see it on my game but it all looks good on my end. So, I been very confused for the past days so I asked my brother who plays sims on his PC and asked him to try out my hat CC on his game. And to my surprise It did make the sims disappear! It works well in gameplay and going back to CAS makes the sim reappear again... but... I don't know how to fix this because everything looks good on my computer probably because i use a mac. It is strange that it would only happen on the windows... How do I fix this? (THIS IMAGE IS MY GAME ON MAC, LOOKS FINE!)(IMAGE HERE IS MY CAS ON MY BROTHER'S PC! Makes sim disappear with my CC hats!)So here is my package files: briar headpiece which disappears on windows but not mac , blondie hood hat which works fine on both pc and mac!My process of making the CC hats are all the same im just confused... is it my sims4studio, is it my game? or is it their pc sims?

Hi. - save the shadow map with interpolated alpha and generated mipmaps. If my memory serves me well,this is the cause of your issue But before you do this, you need to make a proper alpha. It should be black and white with no gray(sharp borders), should cover all area where the shadow exist - to make your cc compatible with hq mod, the diffuse and shadows should be 2048x4096, specular 1024x2048; - your item is in the hat category, its uvs should be in the space meant for hats. Now they are in the space meant for pants and shoes. Its texture will be displayed on top of those items - accessories should be vertex painted with 007f00; - your mesh does not have a proper uv_1, so it does not morph as it should

well thanks, but the hood is the one that works fine. the briar hat which isn't working for the PC doesn't even have a shadow map. So whats the problem with that one? I also don't have that nvidia dds add on. that addon is only compatible for photoshop PC.

you shared the same file in both links yes sorry, one file is the one that works on mac but not on pc. The other is works perfectly fine on pc and mac. It's the briar headpiece file that is broken. Sorry I should've been more clear. It's just to compare them both and see what differs from both files

Okay here you go ! : LINKsorry for the troubles. i recommend you testing this cc in CAS and see if it disappears. if yes, then that's the problem. I'm guessing you use PC which is the issue here. It works fine on my game cause I play on MAC

The difference is in graphics settings, not systems. When I check the item on Ultra, it is invisible. When I check it on the lowest, it is present. This means one thing: the problem is with the specular or the normal maps because they are not rendered on low settings. In this case it is the specular maps’ dimensions. They should be smaller then diffuse and shadow by half.
And again, the vertex color is wrong.
