Urgh I'm sorry it's me again  I was working on a divider with blender, photoshop and sims 4 studio So I removed the original texture of the inner (I kept the frame) and replaced it with something else I also removed that exact part of the mesh to make it work but well see yourself:   On the left the original -> my texture replacement in Sims 4 Studio -> what they look like in-game
(the color is not part of the problem just picked the wrong ones for screenshots  ) but yeah do you see what I'm talking about? why are thee "combs" back? whhhhhhy? Please tell me how to fix it  |

Go to the warehouse tab in s4studio and look for something like this  Image. The light gray image is what you need to export and edit. If you have photoshop capable with the dds extension export the image as dds because you have to edit the alpha channel as well as the image. The image i highlighted in a pinkish color is what you have to get rid off. I would select how I have it highligthed and using the patch tool move to the left a bit so it doesn't overlap. Then you would have to do the same thing again in alpha channel and save it as dxt5 with interpolated alpha. It should look like the darker gray image on the left. |

BlueHorse It seemed like it just wasn't saved after you added your changes to it. I've imported the blend into the package as well as the bump map and it was fine. Image All you have to do is re-import your blend file and bump map then save. Sorry for the late reply didn't have the chance to get back on the computer yesterday.

It sounds like that you're trying to do a mesh change where there is tile in between the frame. This could mean that it is using the space where the honeycombs were and because the spec isn't updated it would probably show the combs. Can you update the package and take a screenshot of the issue. I have an idea but can't really tell without seeing for myself.

I just looked at your file that you shared on Sep 24th and you still have the honeycomb bump map AND the honeycomb specular in your object. You also still have all of the other bu map shapes for the other designs still in there as well.
I would recommend making a brand new clone and delete ALL of the swatches apart from one of them. Get the first swatch working correctly and then when you add new swatches they will copy over the settings that are correct.
All you should need to do to get this working is put in a blank bump map texture and a blank specular texture.
