Could the hash generator be adjusted to recognize capitals? People will use caps for object, animation, etc. related strings (like geostates or actor names) and this is why their projects will not work, but nobody knows about the hash generators quirk so they don't know to look there. D:

I have a few merged files made with an older version of the S4S and i can no longer un-merge with the new version. Please, a word of advice.

Could objects eventually have the specular, bump, etc. on the studio page like CAS does?

Something that would be super useful is the ability to have a button/option in menu to remove SSAO from item. There are a lot of items that has the transparency/shadows seen through bug when cloned, even when the shadow lod is properly done and I have ni idea why (especially the chairs). Only way to remove the bug is to disable SSAO, but it's 3 LOD's shaders to edit and it can be tiresome. Thank you !  |

Suggestions:
- Add the dirt overlay as a customizable texture for objects that have a dirty states, especially counters;
- Make changes to the shader for all the Material Set variants (to all swatches) and to all LODs.

How about a button to add a lightmap to objects easily? Because it's so annoying normally and the steps are always the same.

The PartDescriptionKey field is at the top of my wishlight right now for sure. I was starting to seriously consider re-thumbnailing most of my CAS content, but if we can populate that field, I won't have to. (Even better if I can do it to an entire directory at once.)

Not sure if this has been wish listed or not, so forgive me if it is a repeat. Would it be possible to place a routing command for merging files? Batch files allow you to route it straight to the Mods folder automatically, but to merge it loads up randomly in my file folders and I have to hunt for the the pathways to where I want to go. I just thought it would be quicker and user friendly if we could choose the route Merge Packages takes us to.  |

Trying to decide whether to batchfix my current unbatchfixed downloads tonight or some other day, so, while it's on my mind... pretty please with hot fudge sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry on top, could we have either one or two batchfixes that perform the same function as the combination of Disallow for Random, Disallow for Aliens, Allow for Aliens, Disallow for Vampires, Allow for Vampires, Disallow for Spellcasters, Allow for Spellcasters, Disallow for Mermaids, Allow for Mermaids? i.e. the end result should be that there will be NO random assignment at all ever (unless I turn it back on for specific items that I'm sure aren't gonna get voted off the island), but the items in question should be available to all occults in CAS for the player to use if they feel like it? I know it'd be easy for adding fiddly batch operations to get out of hand, but I feel like that is a fairly sought-after combination of settings and right now it is nine different batch operations that produce nine different backups, so... that would be an extremely large quality of life improvement. <3

Custom trees are impossible to make cause Sims4Studio isn't able to export more than one vertex color entry. That's quite troubling since it lets you create CC tree packages but won't let you correctly create new ones. How did this oversight make it to the roughly six year mark of this software's existence? Information on how vegetation works has been out for a while now, so it's not like we don't know how it works: forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/15944902/#Comment_15944902 |

Thank you all for the suggestions. They're helpful for us to improve Studio. littledica99, to answer your question, Studio is developed according to 1. the community's priorities and 2. the available time for developing this free community tool. Therefore, Studio has consistently provided new features many creators want, batch-fixes that keep previously made content updated for patches, options that allow players to manage their custom content, and UI improvements. There has been no general majority opinion that we should prioritize custom tree-making, and the system is complex enough that providing a feature for this could demand substantial time that could be spent on things many people are requesting. If you wish to talk about Sims 4 Studio in such a critical and disparaging fashion, you are free to do that elsewhere. Don't do it here. It's a free tool. If you don't like it, don't use it. |

It's just feels incredibly disappointing to know that there's a LOT of passionate people that would be ready to help the project and make it the best and most feature rich tool out there, but you guys won't let it happen. Having the program open source would not lead to any kind of money loss, since the app doesn't make money at all in the first place. I stumbled upon this thread a while ago and it only made me even more aware of how many people would be willing to help. It's even more disappointing to see an offer of free help turned down by that user. Let's face it, Studio is arguably the best tool for modding. it's mostly fast and snappy, it offers a way more user-friendly interface compared to its "competitors" and it's objectively the most downloaded and most used. I am well aware that the project is developed in the free time of its devs, and i think there's only one dev too. But some people's livelyhoods and income depend on the app being up to date and as feature rich as possible. Probably the biggest "suggestion" i can offer is, stop ignoring your creative and passionate community and post the code on Github. And allow community contributions! Since you think my criticism is not welcome in this thread, i will refrain from posting on this thread at all from now on. I will voice my complaints else where, as you said. |

A person's hard work doesn't become public domain just because that person doesn't choose to capitalize on their work. You may feel it needs to be open source but perhaps the creator of the source doesn't feel that way. I also feel you pointing out other people's livelihoods as being dependent on this program a rather ironic and cheap shot style tactic to guilt a person into doing something with their code they don't wish to at this stage of its existence. For all you know when the game no longer is creating packs in the future it could go open source, maybe it won't. But for sure trying to convince a person making little to no revenue with their hard work that they are somehow "disappointing" others that DO make revenue with their hard work is where the cheap shot is. You are basically saying some may not be able to make as much money because the free program they use to make their money is not able to do a specific thing at the time one user demanded it. Talk about an entitled thought process. I think you really need to reevaluate your position here with the tone you are trying to use. You're not a paying customer, you're not in Walmart and this is not the way to get heard here. You could have suggested this with passion and even offered the link you provided originally all without your contempt you're displaying, as though it is the creator's fault that others' can't come up with a code to do the amazing things this program can. You have no problems giving credit where its due in acknowledging the program's superiority but have severe problems expressing any gratitude for the existence of the program at all and even more problems in social decorum and the proper way to make a formal suggestion on a public forum. It is not your suggestion for custom trees that got us in this row, I can guarantee that better than any corporation guarantee sticker, what got you nothing and ultimately leaves the suggestion in a bad air is the absolute shitty way you decided to communicate this topic. If you had read the forum you should have picked up certain social cues on what kind of atmosphere is appericated in regards to suggestions and requests to the program. What can be done, usually is done, when it can be done. Just because the creator doesn't want a bunch of hands in his cookie coding jar doesn't mean he is ignoring the creative community. There is a lot that could go wrong in general , if there is an open source code and more than one version of sims 4 studio starts popping up that means novice/inexperienced simmers could download versions that have NOTHING to do with the original and all those people flood this forum asking questions for a version of studio that the original creator has never even seen the code for. There is a lot more wrong with your final suggestion than there was of your suggestions for the damned trees. Now make like a tree, and leave.
