[SOLVED!] CC won't load correctly in CAS!

Hi. Well, those tutorials were very unfortunate. For the future, always study a similar maxis item
- in MD do not model in tris, it makes the garment look and behave like crumpled paper. Instead either change the topology to quads and keep Particle distance high or retopologize the mesh;
-  do not join the body with the garment until you transfer uv_1, weights and vertex paint to the garment. The nude body is adapted to perfection and overwriting this data will mess things up;
- add the inner side of the garment only in places where it is visible, otherwise it will do nothing but increase the polycount. Also,  move the uvs of the inner side away from those of the outer's to avoid black spots during baking;
- transfer weights and uvs with Nearest face interpolated


- the mesh does not morph properly because it should be vertex painted with 00ff00, not 00ff04. You can also transfer it, which is a recommended method when making dresses or skirts (painted with two colors);

- do not scale uvs individually unless the difference in quality of textures is acceptable. For example, uvs of zippers or buttons can be bigger than the rest, uvs of the geometry that covers holes can be smaller, but the front of the shirt should not be bigger than the back or the sleeves.

About the other top:
- all of the above;


About the checkered pattern: it means the referenced resource(s) (textures, meshes) is missing. We would need to see the package to know what exactly is the problem. Cloning other people's cc can be a reason and if it was what you've done, then there's no need in that at all, just clone maxis items


For the future: if something does not turn out right, you need to find what is causing it and how to fix it instead of moving forward, otherwise it will happen again. Also, please always share the blend and the package

Make sure to enable sharing like this

start from "Prepare the reference/body" and stop at "How to know if your item needs to be split into meshgroups"
It is best to use the first tank top

it has no cut number. There is no point in importing a mesh in s4s if is not adapted at all, you won't see anything useful

1). clone a similarly shaped mesh, export the blend, open;
2). You will see one or multiple meshgroups. They will have different cut numbers. Your item should be split into the same number of meshgroups in the same places and receive corresponding cuts. How to do it is explained in "How to know if your item needs to be split into meshgroups" but you dont need this right now;
3). In your case there is only one meshgroup, so the cut is 0000. If you're using the community tested version, set the type to GEOM. If you have the beta version, the type has been removed

Yes, it would be a problem because meshgroups cannot have the same cut numbers.
You’re meant to hide, delete or join the reference with the garment. When it is time to import the mesh in s4s, either of these would be already done

The idea:
1). you make a garment in MD. It does not move, does not morph, does not display textures as intended. It cannot function properly in ts4;
2). you clone an existing Maxis item of similar shape. It moves, morphs and displays textures as intended by the developers;
3). you import the garment from MD in the same scene as a maxis item and transfer all of the data responsible for moving and morphing;
4). then you delete all parts of the nude body covered by clothing, join it with the garment,put the garment's uvs in the space meant for it;
5). then you assign a cut and import the blend in s4s.
