so ive taken some of the advice that i was given and started simple. i started with just putting a picture on EA shirt. and i was fine with doing that. the item looks a little tacky, but it's a start, lol. so from what i've been reading, i guess the next step would to try and make an accessory. i've seen the tutorial for the earrings and that's what i'm going to do next. i'm a little nervous cause it's pretty in depth lol, but i am determined to get the hang of this. i just thank you guys so much, i have never seen so many people willing to help and share useful information, and am very thankful for that. so thanks again!

If you edit/play around with existing meshes you will see how the mesh works, how the uv map looks, you will not see that if you start from scratch. You tube some basic blender vids, I use 3ds max, have done for years, even done a "professional" course in it, yet I still watched basic blender vids so I could learn how to use it. There are tuts around on most things, there is no really step by step on everything specific because that would be impossible. Marverlous Designer as stated is not designed for games, people use it although we do not recommend it, any tutorial using that is written at the whim of someone who does. Thank you so much! it really means alot to me to give your feedback!

ok, first off i want to say thank you to you all! you are all so helpful and that's hard to find alot of times. i thank everyone for all the work in the tutorials that they do and all the info that you are all so willing to share!
no i have a couple of questions. hopefully they can be answered here.
1. i'm a beginner. i have tried different programs to see what would be easier for me. and i get it, but i dont. i have tried marverlous designer to make my meshes and then go from there, but i get kind of stuck. So my question is, should i try making CC for Sims 3 or below before i get into Sims 4?
2. Should i start with creating clothing using an EA mesh before I try my own?
3. Are there any tutorials that show you how to make an outfit from scratch and then set it up to play in the game?
Tbh, I think the hardest part for me is learning to make exactly what I want from scratch and there aren't any tutorials there that actually do that...
So can some of you give me some of your ideas on what I should learn first and where to go from there? because there's so much stuff that you need to know, which I am willing to learn, I guess I need to know what I should learn first and then each step that comes after.
PLEASSE somebody help. lol.

Hi katie, when you open your Sims 4 item's mesh in Blender the template image (without the template on it) should be present in the .blend by default. It will be one of the texture choices you can choose. If this isn't enough help let me know and I can post a picture. i would like for you to post a picture. i don't quite understand it.

all of these links and everything are so awesome, but i think so many questions are getting answered but the one question that I am looking for is not getting answered. there are so many tutorials on how to do certain things in blender. but i would like to see someone create an outfit from start to finish on there and how to import it and everything in one video. that's what i need. i don't want to recolor or just edit something that has already been made. i want to create outfits like something from.... eh let's say.... an old i love lucy episode, or maybe something Mariah Carey wore one day. Are there any tutorials that show you exactly how to do that? or make shoes? or anything. someone please help me out. lol. i'm dying here.
but once again thanks for all the help with the tutorials that you have been posting. maybe i am just a slow learner.

i don't see the alpha channel either. i read that png files don't have Alpha channel. when i saved the pics as jpg files, they won't open up in photoshop.
