i converted an object from other games and imported into blender. i used a pedestal as a mesh from s4studios. The problem that has been bothering me is the shadow of the object. Following a tutorial o yt, i scaled down the original shadow and embedded into the new mesh. But the shadows can't work properly when imported into s4studios. i am sure that the cut numbers are correct and (i think) the new mesh isn't the problem it would be so grateful if anyone can point out my mistakes. Thanksss!! imgur.com/H3i7cpJ - shadows in s4studio. imgur.com/x3ALYVU" - mesh in blender. |

hi! deleting a group in blender isn't going to delete it from the package. you need to move the shadow plane that's currently in your only group to their dedicated mesh group. go into edit mode, select the plane and press P and then "selection" to separate it. your main mesh will have cut number 1 while the shadow 0.
if this doesn't help, please share the blend and package files.

hiii thank you for replying. I'm a little confused, which shadow plane should I select? The shadow in the new object or the one in the EA mesh?
I tried separating them and somehow the shadow plane produces a new shadow group. Do I have to do anything to it or am I doing it wrong?

I'm solely speaking of your blend file that's the only picture I'm seeing. you currently have everything in one meshgroup. S4 doesn't work like that. each element should be in their own group. the basic premise is that your blend MUST be exactly as the one you exported so that all elements are imported back correctly. sims4studio.com/thread/826/create-object-mesh-package-existing |

As i've mentioned before... you need to fix the mesh groups. Have you read the tutorial i linked? You have everything in one group, you need to have one for the main mesh and other for the shadow. ALSO, the shadow is mapped incorrectly, you need to fix that OR delete the shadow you have now and leave EA's original instead.
