Hello! New to the whole modding thing  I've a quick question: I downloaded the two hair CC's from here: creativengine.wixsite.com/simlive/rey and when I load them up in S4S, they look fine. However, when I try to apply them to any sim in-game, the hair CC actually applies fine but its the character model that goes wonky; the model ends up with missing textures/question marks all over it. Why does that happen? If there's an issue with the package file, how would I go about fixing that (if possible) in S4S? I sent an email to the original CC artist asking if I might be doing something wrong, but figured I'd also ask here just in case they don't get back to me. Thanks for the help ahead of time! |

They work perfectly fine for me - have you tried with only that CC in your Mods folder?
Also, are you on the latest non-Legacy version?

I just took out all my mods and left only the hair CC. Still gives me this:  I'm not sure what you mean by non-legacy version; do you mean the game itself? If so, how would I go about checking that? |

If you let me know the version number GameVersion.txt has in Sims 4 folder then can tell I wonder if maybe they need packs you are missing. |

If you let me know the version number GameVersion.txt has in Sims 4 folder then can tell I wonder if maybe they need packs you are missing. Gameversion is: 1.72.28.1030 And could that be it? I have almost all expansion packs, except the recent snowboarding one and cats/dogs. I missing a fair few of the other game/stuff packs though. I am not, no. I'm not using too many mods really, not at the moment. Just started dumping stuff into my mods folder only recently, hah! |

I have all the stuff so I don't know surely what could be missing. I would guess maybe the Star Wars one at the least, I forgot what the Sims calls it though.
Hope you get a reply and some other help!

Hope you get a reply and some other help! I do have the Star Wars Batuu pack. However! I went down a rabbit hole and found this "Tray Importer" app and after watching a couple YouTube tutorials using said Tray Importer app, I found this when loading up my sim with the CC hair applied:  Guess that means I'm missing something, but I don't know exactly what since I have no idea what all those letters and numbers mean, lmao. |

Try opening the package in s4s, then going to Tools > Modding > Embed all externally referenced resources (CAS)

Huh, I was sure it was going to be a missing map, but I'm not seeing an obvious map problem. (Can't 100% rule it out, though, I guess.) Too busy to load 'em in my game, but we already have at least one person they're working for, it's not the HQ mod (which does a different thing to non-HQ content anyway as I understand it), and the files considerably predate the Batuu GP so it's absolutely not related to whether that pack is installed. They do, however, require Outdoor Retreat -- this is clearly indicated in at least two places in S4S, one of which is right on the Studio tab (it's what the little icon of a campfire means). A missing pack would usually mean the mesh wasn't available, though, which is not the problem here.
If I get the chance I'll put them in my game and have a look, but could you maybe post a screencap of your graphics settings in the game?

Oh, that instance number is the shadow map, and it's not in the package, but it's an EA texture -- it's from Outdoor Retreat and may be the reason why the hair requires OR (or it might be using other OR-related assets too). |

Judging by the trayimporter screenshot it's a missing texture, and if it worked for one person then the only thing I can think of is a pack dependency? But like Cidira said, that would mess with the mesh...
Edit; yeah, that'd be it haha

I'm actually doing a repair/verifying installation of my game at the moment at the recommendation of a friend. Maybe that could fix the issue? If not, I'll cap my graphics settings once Origin is done doing its thing Oh, I missed the two posts above! Should have refreshed the page, lol. Guess that settles it though, haha. Appreciate the help everyone [edit] And yeah, I don't have Outdoor Retreat. Hehe. [edit 2] Looks like Outdoor Retreat is only ~$13 anyways. I'll just grab it since I really want to use the hair, lmao. Thanks again for all the help! Much appreciated |
