Hi there! I'm fairly new to Sims 4 Studio but have been playing around a bit, reorganizing my CC folder and making some basic recolors for my game.
I've noticed that I have a few extremely high poly items in game & my laptop has been lagging a bit while playing. I was in the My CC section and noticed the LODs dropdown, & when I clicked on LOD 1 for a swimsuit top with 60k poly on LOD 0, I noticed the polys dropped to 30k and I couldn't distinguish the difference between the two images (60k polys for a swimsuit top is just too much!). So here's my question -- is there any way I can replace the LOD0 mesh on that swimsuit top with the LOD1 mesh to reduce the lag in my game?
I already attempted this by making a CAS standalone with that top, exporting the LOD1 mesh and importing it into LOD0, but the CC showed up as broken in game (even though it looks fine in Sims 4 Studio). I then went into warehouse and edited the LOD -> LODmodels field for LOD0 to match the LOD1 values, but that didn't seem to do anything either.
I understand why I wouldn't want to replace a lower-poly LOD mesh with a higher-poly LOD mesh (when I zoom out I'd still see it in original high clarity which would be a waste of resources), but I don't see why there'd be a game problem with replacing a higher-poly LOD mesh with a lower one. I'd love to be able to keep these high poly items in my game, thanks in advance for your help!
