Oooh! Okay, sorry that i couldn't understand the issue. You're right, it keeps adding stuff back upon import. I'm not really sure why that happens really.. i've never worked with makeup and haven't really had this issue before with alphas. I kept playing with the texture and re saving it. Somehow it got a little better.. maybe you can go from there? Also, i painted the RGB of the .dds all white. There shouldn't be any black in there since the transparency is controlled by the alpha. simfileshare.net/folder/39974/Btw, i'm using windows. I feel this issue is more on the dds side rather than on S4S due to artifacts. But i could be completely wrong, that's just my wild guess. Thank you for your response and for your help regarding this matter. I will check it and see if things are in fact better at this point, when I get a chance! Once again, thank you very very much <3

Why exactly does the mask have all those white chunks surrounding the highlighter? The mask should be exactly as the alpha on your other dds. Well thats why I made this thread. I am unsure why it does that. It looks perfectly normal when I made it, and then once I import it into sims 4 studio, it still looks perfectly normal. Only when I start the game, does the mask create that glitch and then in game you see it. I painted with black over the white on the mask numerous times and tried re-importing it into s4s and launching ts4 but it continuously does the exact same thing. I am unsure why ... honestly. It has done this for as long as I can remember, on my windows computer and now on my mac but typically I'd launch the game , expecting the glitch, force quit, paint over the glitched area, and then re import, relaunch and then its fine.. for some reason though its not going away this time.

I've had a similar issue a few weeks ago which did not go away until I remade the specular. I also had this once after loading the particular item (clothing) in game. It did not seem to have a visible effect in game but when I checked S4S I saw a similar image. Do you have a pic of how it looks/what it is causing in-game? Yes, I do have some screenshots : imgur.com/a/tHQgmzG(just scroll down - its a thread of the images in this thread) I've redone the specular like 10 times (no joke!) and at this point I am pretty annoyed and ready to give up lol.. because nothing I do fixes the issue ;(

imgur.com/a/tHQgmzGFor some reason, nomatter how many times I do it over again, when I launch the game it causes this glitch to appear and it shows on the sim as well. In the past I have just erased the glitched part or painted over it and that fixed it, but for some reason that has no effect on this now. I am using s4s candy apple. If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please let me know Thank you!

Depends on the way you created specular for your lipsticks. You can compare your specular to specular from lipsticks that work and see how it was made. What if my lipsticks don't have specular at all and the ones that work with the highlighter don't have specular either.

Hello, So, I have made a highlighter in game, right now it is still a work in progress. The issue is that the hightlighter DOES work, but not with cc lipsticks I've created. . I've spent some time trying to figure out this matter and I am just wondering why the specular is able to show on other custom content lipsticks ,but for some reason with the lipsticks I've created, the highlighter will not display any shine. In the image below you can see that with the lipstick I've made, the specular shine does not show. imgur.com/a/Ojns0OaHowever, in this image, with another lipstick, it does show: imgur.com/a/fAUMNNJAnd this is the case for any lipstick that is not mine. The shine will work. But with lipsticks I have created, it will not. Does anyone happen to know what may be causing this issue? Thank you

Hi! Thanks for your response, I was wondering if you may know a place to get Marvelous Designer for free because that is a program I am familiar with and have made meshes in the past with, but not on a mac operating system. However, I do have the student version of Maya on my computer now, Photoshop CC 2018, and blender as well. I was looking online to download 3Ds Max but it seems that even though this is the same place I was able to download Maya (student version) - 3DS Max is a .exe file extension which is only for windows operating systems. If at all possible, it would just be easier if there was a way to use MD7 or MD5 to do meshes but if this is not possible for like a student version or free version.. then yes - please do tell me how you would suggest I go about the meshing process given the information I've provided now! Thanks again for your kind response :D

Hey!
I am just wondering if there are any creators (Preferably people who mesh) who use mac's as their operating system? I currently have a Macbook pro and would like to create meshes for TS4 but I am not quite sure how to go about it when some of the programs I've been told I need are seemingly only available for Windows :(
If any one might be able to help with this, suggest some alternative programs that they use to create on mac - or point me in the right direction that would be great and much appreciated!
Thank you! <3

Hi! I am trying to create something that I would technically need more "space" in CAS for in order for it to work with other creators skin details and skins. I was wondering if it is possible to create a new category so for instance how the Tattoo section allows you to place tattoos on the feet, back, arms... what if I want to add a new category? Is this possible and if so, would someone mind explaining how to go about doing it? Thank you!

Hey!
So for a while, I've had this issue and I think it's soley for my own CC creations I've made for personal use. The problem I have been experiencing is that with some of my CC, only some swatches will show (lets say for instance a skin overlay - a nose mask for instance). Some of the swatches will display just fine, while others won't show up at all on the sim. All of the swatches however are on the same sort layer. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks in advance!

that looks like a custom cas background so there is still prolly mods in the folder, remove all of it to be sure , i think the more columns for cas mod did something like this. Hey there! That CAS background was created by me. Yes, there were still mods in the folder at the time of this screenshot because I figured it wasn’t a clothing CC mod that caused this & I knew for certain it wasnt my background since I am the one who created it. CAS columns I figured would be the issue after I removed every other game altering mod beaides that one. However, when i did remove the column mod, still the game behaved the same way. At that point i repaired the game (which also did not work) and then I felt the need to make this thread. Thank you.

Hello, So after the latest patch (November) my CAS interface looks completely blank. It is missing everything except the buttons in the far top right hand corner of the screen and even still, clicking those buttons does nothing! I have tried to go through my mods folder and remove game mods (thinks like replacement mods etc) but still nothing has fixed this. I have even tried "repairing" the game. If anyone knows anything about this probelem please let me know! imgur.com/a/7zfiJ
