Hey, so I have been trying this for a while and I just cant figure it out I'm not understanding something or missing something can anyone help?
I Recolored the Picture Frames for Large Portrait Large Landscape Medium Portrait(DU), now trying to change the pie menu to reflect the changes. I'm only doing this because even thou it lets you pick the correct color in build/buy menu when you reload the game or the lot it goes back to the original option of the pie menu. Please Help Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?

drive.google.com/drive/folders/13UPF3fGNtTALxIE2257sx39h7g_QiDxw?usp=sharing
PhotoTuning.package (the tuning package that I have attempted to edit)
PhotoWallLargeLandscapeRecolorBerry.package (Large Landscape Recolor Basic Berry Colors I use for my game)
PhotoWallDURecolorBerry.package (Medium Portrait for the Discover Uni Pack Recolor Berry Colors I use for my game)
PhotoWallLargeRecolorBerry.package ( Large Portrait Recolor Basic Berry Colors I use for my game)
my Process:
Step 1 Make the Recolor
A) open up Sims 4 Studio 3.2.0.3 (Star)
B) Select override under the Object Button
* Click the Object Button
C) Finding the item
1)Click Box near the top to show Debug items
2) In the Search Box type in the word "Photo"
3) Find the correct Photo that i am recoloring there are 17 different ones to chose from i had repeated this process for just 3 so far (there is a different file for each size and wall or desk)
aa)PhotoWallLandscapeLarge_EP01GEN_set1 0000000000013001
bb) PhotoWallPortraitLarge_EP01GEN_set1 00000000001300F (this is the one i am doing this Example on)
cc) Graduation Photo photoWallPortraitMedium_EP08GENgraduation_set1 000000000003831A
4) Click the Next button
D) Name the File
E) in the Studio Tab i Removed the Swatches and added my 11 New Swatches
F) in the Texture Tab, i chose the 2nd Texture Exported to a file the edited the file to match my new colors
G) once edited i then imported the 2nd Texture file to all the Swatches
H) then i clicked the Warehouse Tab
( every Swatch has a Object Catalog, Object Definition and a DST Image)
I) i only looked at the Object Definition File, Here i made sure that the MaterialVariant and the Name Matched in a way for example:
a) MaterialVariant the box says set2-materialVariant
b) Name the box says PhotoWallPortraitLarge_EP01GEN_set2
these match because the Material Variant and the name have set2
J) Last step is to look at the Tuning just copy the name you will need it latter each package is different, i found this under the Studio Tab then under the Tuning Tab
ex: Portrait
ID 131872
Tuning object_photo_General
Once this is complete i was done with this package, i repeated the same steps for the other 2 packages i have attached
STEP 2) Tuning
i made one package for all the Tuning it helped my organize my thoughts this way
A) On the home page i selected Tools then Export Tuning, this is where you put the Tuning you found during Step One J. once i hve the file highlighted i clicked the Add to current package button on the bottom right
Below is the Tuning files i added to the package
1-
Landscape
ID 111614
Tuning object_Photo_LandscapeLarge
2- Portrait
ID 131872
Tuning object_photo_General
3- ID 111617
Tuning object_Photo_PortraitLarge
4- DU
ID 228452
Tuning object_University_Graduation_Portrait
B)so this was all new i have recolored a few item but never messed with the XML(Tuning) Files, So the 1st this i did was to just look at the code to see if i could find anything that matched
1) i noticed that the S number in the code matched the ID number that i found in Step One for each tuning
2) then i noticed the below code , noticing that the Tuning for these items had FrameOn on them so i added these to the Package
3) Below is the Code for the FrameOn_2, i noticed that the material Variant matches the name of the swatch this is how i believe they are linked ( i didt see anything to change so i left alone and went back to the code in 2
4) latter down the code list i found
5) this code is different i believe that the the 1st tuning (FrameOn) is under the prohibited states witch means no longer allowed but the tuning i found in 4 were under the <L n="_super_affordances"> witch means my happen to the objects
Things i Noticed:
aa) the S number in the AddFrame were the same number that the Frame on Changed the Material Variant number too and here it shows the pie menu colors
Things i Changed in this code
Line 26 i put in the word Orange instead of what was there because if Material Variant 2 is correct that matches to my 2nd swatch
Step 6) i had 3 extra swatches that didt have a AddFrame or a FrameOn File so i made them
A) Highlated FrameOn_8 and clicked Duplicate
1) changed Line2 after n= from "photo_Values_FrameOn_8" TO "photo_Values_FrameOn_9"(Repeated this for a 10 and 11)
2) Changed the S number i just kept the numbers going FramOn 8 was 218981 but 218982 thru
218984 were all ready in use on the AddFrame files so i picked up the number change at 218985 (repeated this for 10 and 11)
B) Highlated the AddFrame_8 and clicked the Duplicate
1) Changed line 2 after the n= from "immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_8_BG" to "immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_9_BG" ( Repeated for 10 &11
2) Changed line 2 s number to the numbers i picked for the new number
3) Chanded line 26 color to match the same MaterialVariant ( i think i have to change line 26 lay name the black text but i dont know what too so i left it alone)
4) Changed Line 9 From <T n="new_value">218984<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_8--></T> TO <T n="new_value">218985<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_9--></T>
5) Changed line 103 from <T n="value">218984<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_8--> TO </T> <T n="value">218985<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_9--></T> (Repeated for 10 &11)
Step 7) Went through the Object Tuning Files (4 of them) and added the below items
a) added to <L n="prohibited_states">
<T>218985<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_9--></T>
<T>218986<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_10--></T>
<T>218987<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_11--></T>
b) added to <L n="_super_affordances">
<T>218988<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_9_BG--></T>
<T>218989<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_10_BG--></T>
<T>218990<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_11_BG--></T>
Last i saved all fiels to my mods folder and ran the game and nothing happens with the pie menu or add frame options so if anyone could help or tell me what tuning xml files i need to look at or add or what i messed up that would be amazing because after a month of working on this im admit i am stuck !!!!!

1) i noticed that the S number in the code matched the ID number that i found in Step One for each tuning
2) then i noticed the below code , noticing that the Tuning for these items had FrameOn on them so i added these to the Package
<L n="prohibited_states">
<T>131823<!--photo_Value_FrameOn--></T>
<T>215822<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_2--></T>
<T>217421<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_3--></T>

<T>218980<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_7--></T>
<T>218981<!--photo_Values_FrameOn_8--></T>
3) Below is the Code for the FrameOn_2, i noticed that the material Variant matches the name of the swatch this is how i believe they are linked ( i didt see anything to change so i left alone and went back to the code in 2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<I c="ObjectStateValue" i="object_state" m="objects.components.state" n="photo_Values_FrameOn_2" s="215822">
<U n="new_client_state">
<V n="material_variant" t="apply_new_value">
<V n="apply_new_value" t="set_to_custom_value">
<T n="set_to_custom_value">set2-materialVariant</T>
</V>
</V>
</U>
</I>
4) latter down the code list i found
<T>215815<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_2_BG--></T>
<T>217214</T>
<T>217426<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_3_BG--></T>
<T>217427<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_4_BG--></T>
<T>217428<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_5_BG--></T>
<T>218982<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_6_BG--></T>
<T>218983<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_7_BG--></T>
<T>218984<!--immediateSI_Photos_AddFrame_8_BG--></T>
so i looked up this Tuning and added it to the package5) this code is different i believe that the the 1st tuning (FrameOn) is under the prohibited states witch means no longer allowed but the tuning i found in 4 were under the <L n="_super_affordances"> witch means my happen to the objects
Things i Noticed:
aa) the S number in the AddFrame were the same number that the Frame on Changed the Material Variant number too and here it shows the pie menu colors
Things i Changed in this code
Line 26 i put in the word Orange instead of what was there because if Material Variant 2 is correct that matches to my 2nd swatch
