I have looked at a similar issue in the FAQ but it's about a recolor with no mesh included, while my item is a tattoo so no mesh at all is involved, so I'm not sure how much it applies.
I was editing someone else's tattoos. They have a lot of swatches, I was editing only a few. I selected the "CAS Part"s and "RLE2 Image"s that I was using as basis, exported as a .package. Then exported DDS, edited, reimported textures, and now in game they showed up but replaced the swatches of the original mod.
What is the problem - do I have to replace the "instance" value for them? (Do I just randomly generate it if so?) Or am I missing something else that describes it as a separate item?
Or do I have to still clone the original mod package and delete the swatches I don't want to edit, even if it has no mesh and I'd ideally like it to be usable without the original? (Oh and it has a merged package manifest - would I have to unmerge it then?)
edit: when I tried to change the instance I overrode one more swatch in the original mod?? and when I try to clone I don't get textures to edit, just the "CAS part"s?
