Hi mellanie, in the last patch EA changed the way the thumbnail cache functions. This change made it so that Studio's method of removing individual swatches from the cache won't work anymore. In order to allow Studio to get the game generated thumbnail you need to empty the cache prior to starting the game. To do that click the Tools option in Studio's upper menu bar and select Clear Thumbnail Cache from the list. Close Studio and start the game. Check each swatch's catalog thumbnail. Close the game and reopen Studio. You should see thumbnails there. You can make your thumbnails very easily now using an overlay that Studio will automatically add to every thumbnail in the .package. There is a tutorial HERE showing how. Once you've made your new thumbnails clear the cache again using Studio's Clear Thumbnail Cache feature and then put the .package in your Mods folder and check it in the game.  |

Any object Studio is able to clone will work the same way |

Hi goroakechiswife, welcome to Studio forums. I apologize for the late reply...I missed your post when you posted it. When you saved your images that you imported to recolor this garment did you save as .dds? If the answer to that is yes did you put a check mark in the generate mip maps box? |

You're welcome. If you don't generate mip maps not only will the item make an incorrect thumbnail but in the game if you view the garment from a distance the texture of it will take on the appearance of skin. You definitely want to be generating mip maps if you're using .dds. Alternatively you can save the image as a .png and then you don't need to worry about mip maps. |

Hi ! I've downloaded S4S yesterday, I made a tattoo and I am trying to make a custom thumbnail for it following your steps. (Even changed the path as I noticed it wasn't going to the right place) but still, I see the EA thumbnail showing my tattoo but not the thumbnail that I have made (on photoshop cs6 keeping the right size and saving as .png) I do not know nor have any idea what went wrong :(
------------------------------------
Actually, little update, I search everywhere and I found your tuto update and now it all works thank you so much for your tutorial ^^
