Hi singleservingus ! Would you mind to share your .blend and .package files? We need them to find what's causing the error. Thanks!

Hi Alex, and welcome to Sims 4 Studio. I came here for the same reason, my desire of creating unique content that I can't find on the web (and also to share it). And I really enjoy to create content, specially that part when you go in game and see your creation. I love S4S and I hope you can enjoy it the same as me. You will only need blender to create and edit meshes, some painting program that works with .dds files and S4S to join them into a package. It's pretty simple! Also if you need anything you can ask for it at the Creator Help forum. You can write me a message by clicking on my account too, and I'll anwer it when I have the chance. I'm waiting to see how amazing the content you create is !! Welcome again to Sims 4 Studio, I hope you really enjoy it.

Hi mv! I've tried cleaning again your mesh, deleting some empty groups but nothing. Also I tried cloning some dress from the game and using it for your package but my game gets stuck on the main screen so I can't check for it to work. I recomend you to try it, to create another package. Good luck!! (I love the name you gave to the .rar)

Hi! I don't really know how to solve your problem as I'm not used to work with transparency. But you should try this tutorial that peacemaker did as your problem looks pretty much like that. Hope this helps and good luck !!

Hi!! Why don't you try using this? Open S4S and go to "clone object". Once there, check the "show debug items" to make S4S show you those items that are in game but not avaiable (those you can access by using the "bb.showhiddenobjects" cheat) like food, trash and those things. We could say that the second request is complete . As you can see here you can find every food in game. I'm not sure if you can find paintings too. Give it a look by yourself. Good luck!

You must use F selecting a few vertex. Think that you're creating a face: the more vertex you select, the more difficult it will be for blender to create a face with them. You should try using F to create squares or triangles (by selecting 3 or 4 vertex each time). I didn't suggest that because it would make the texture different but you still can edit the UV to make it look nice.

Hi comb! Well, here you have two ways to close that hole. First the one that annabluu told you. First, select every vertex you want to "merge". Then press E to extrude, that will let you create a duplicate of the vertex you selected connected to the originals and without editing them. Then press Esc to leave them in the same place (just press E and Esc). This way will have a nice look but it will take so long as you have to select vertex by pairs and merge them together (preferibly select "by center"). Another option would be to erase the hair you cloned (I think you cloned that hair from the game and you're editing it) one level below, I mean to "cut" it a little more down, and merge those vertex. As I said, there's another way to do this. It will take you 20 seconds but will have a worse (but not bad) looking. Start the same: select vertex, press E and then Esc. Now, instead of merging them, press S and use the mouse to make them the smallest you can. Literally, make them pretty small. Now just select those edges that remain at right and left, triangle shaped, and press F (once for each pair of edges). This should create a face between them, as seen in picture. That may be enough, but you also can press S and then X to make those vertex wider (what should make it look better). Hope this is enough to solve your problem. If it's not, don't hesitate on asking whatever you need. Good luck!

Hi @cryingkitten !! If you want to have the same tattoo for both genders and in the same package just open that package and go to Categories. (I'm spanish and my S4S is in spanish too haha) You can check there which genders you want your content for. This works for clothes at least. It may work for tattoos too but I'm not sure. Hope this helps! Sorry if I've misunderstand what do you want.

As I thought my TSRW version can't open that package. Maybe the newest version can do it, you could try with it. And the S3PE doesn't show the texture file you want, I've seen specular, mask, multiplier but nothing for the root. Sorry! I'm really busy now but I'll try something more if I have the chance. Good luck!!

Hi! I'm spanish so I'm not sure what are you meaning. As I understand, you're looking for the texture that overwrites the scalp, the hair root. Am I right? Well, which program are you using for cloning and editing TS3 items? I use TSR Workshop, it works fine for me and I recommend it. I'll try to clone the hair you want with S3OC and give it a look with TSRW. Gimme a few seconds! (Also your picture is not visible, not for me at least, you can make them show directly on your posts by copying the Direct Link and inserting it with the Picture icon on the "post toolbar")

Hi again! Yesterday I saw your thread but, as I don't have experience creating objects, I can't help you so I've waiting for someone to help you. But it looks like nobody has nothing to say. I know that despair feeling when you can't get your creation to work properly and I can't leave anyone alone so I have to try to guide you again. As I said, I have no experience creating objects, but I recommend you to try cloning different objects (preferibly the one that matches the most to your custom object). I think objects have 2 different meshes, one for the object itself and other for it's shadow, but I'm not sure about that... Also I highly recommend you to share your package and blend file so everyone can give it a look and search for errors (you can do that by sharing on mediafire, dropbox or any other cloud). This will make this thread rise up to the top of the Creator Help list too, so it will be more probable that someone who can help you reads this. I can't help further than this so good luck!

Hi! I had a similar problem. I use Blender 2.76 for editing meshes but I also use 2.70 to export and import meshes. I have each version instaled in a different folder so they have different executables (Blender 2.76 in Program Files and 2.70 in Program Files x86). Go to S4S's configuration and set the Blender route to the version you want to use (mine is at Blender 2.70). This works for me and I'm using S4S Wishes 3.1.1.0. Hope it works for you too, I don't know anything else that could solve your problem.

I'm glad you finally got it! The same happened to me yesterday, I forgot to clean after transfering and my mesh was really messed up. Well, now is time to enjoy it!! We're here for whatever you need. And if you need some explanation or you think that creating a thread would disturb, you can PM me without hesitation. See you soon!
