Hey I'm trying to find a method to override the phone cover swatches in game but stumbled upon some issues. I found out the swatch preview and phone background in the UI are linked to the sims.phone_tuning. So I extracted both image files with the Game File Cruiser and tried overwriting them. The preview gets displayed correctly but the background is just the "missing image" placeholder.  This is how the background should look like:  Additionally I noticed the phone itself still has the old color overlay:  I think it is somehow linked to this tuning but I'm not sure if it's possible to edit the color overlay:  Does anyone know something about this problem? Here is the file if anyone wants to take a look at it: LinkThank you in advance! |

This was lucky because I was just thinking a few days ago that I wanted to create a history-friendly overlay for the cellphones, etc. but wasn't going to take a look till later (too many projects as is), but your thread got me interested and since it was here might as well look into it. xD So for the phone they hold, that's an actual object, but the phone in debug unfortunately does not have the textures in the file....I'm not sure if that's an EA bug or S4S bug. After some digging and finding a related thread, I looked through the ClientBuilds for the textures and found them, but the one you wanted was specifically in ClientDeltaBuild8. It's Instance is 75F23A81E664017D. In case anyone else ever comes through here looking for answers, I'll write the other textures instances down. The only one I couldn't find is that Peach/Rose Gold color that's before the Silver and under the Lime. I looked and looked, found nothing. I'm thinking it's probably larger than 10.8 KB because that's the group I was searching and found the rest in.

For the llama pic error, did you make sure to use the exact same size? Did you use PNG or DDS? Edit: Unrelated note, but Youtuber SimmerErin is making an Elders collab pack (I joined) and on the list she had a record player, I remembered your gramophone you were making. Would you like to contribute the gramophone or anything else to the pack? |

MizoreYukii Thank you! I actually was looking for a way to replace all phone colors. I just made a quick test with one swatch to test my theory. I'll dig through the files some more and see if I can get it to work. I used PNG. Size is the same. I also tried using DDS but PSD is throwing an error at me that the size has to be dividable by four so I have no idea how to fix that. For the collab thing: I haven't heard of it yet but I'm actually working on a little elder CC pack myself where I wanted to include the gramophone, the dress 25 from missed opportunity collab thing, a new pet bed, hairstyle and some more stuff. But feel free to send me a link then I'll take a look at it and decide.

Hmmm....strange. I'll give it a try myself in the morning to see if I can get it working on my end, especially the DDS. Did you remember to clear your localthumbcache too? I remember someone solving the llama issue for a mod by deleting it, worked fine after that. Can't be too careful, finnicky game, lol. I'll send the project list over PM, but here is the Discord link in case you or anyone else wants to hop in and help (even if it's just graphics, research, etc.). |

Okay so overwriting the phone cover works with the files you named! I haven't tried looking for the missing ones yet though.
I'm still having the problem with the llama picture of on the UI picture. I tried deleting the localthumbnail cache but it sadly didn't work.

I know this thread hasn't seen a post in a long while, but is there any progress on this? I would love to have some more phone options.

i tried importing the different phone cover textures from the file cruiser into my phone override package, but it only shows my default phone colour on the phone in game even if the sim changes their phone colour. can anyone explain how to get it to work?

No problem! It took me hours to find all the files so if I can save you time I'm happy :D |
