Hi there,
I'm having an issue where this hair I'm making causes a sim's skin texture to cover nearly everything, like clothes. I really have no idea what could be the problem. It only happens in Live Mode - everything appears normal in CAS. I saw that another user posted about this same issue a few years ago but I wasn't able to solve anything with that post so I thought I'd reach out. Can provide more images/files/info if needed. Package file

Hi. If my memory serves me well, this is a result of a shadow map being saved without generated mipmaps. So you need to re-saved it. In the future, just work with png, more convenient |

I redid everything with PNG files and it looks like the issue has been fixed, so thank you! However, there's a new issue. There are little black triangles across the sim's face. I assume this is an issue having to do with texture or shadow? But I can't figure it out.

Import the shadow texture in dds, not png.

While at it, you could download s4s beta, this issue was solved in it

If I may jump in on this thread.
I'm trying to do a recolour of a dress. The shirt I recently did had no issues. This one is giving me the black triangles everywhere, but only live in game. CAS is fine.
I have the latest version of S4S. So I'm wondering, since EA is removing support for DX9, should we be using DDS instead of PNG for clothes now, too? I mean, it looks to me like a shadow problem or texture issue, but I can't figure it out.
Anyone know?
Thanks for any help!

This issue is back, returned before dx11 pre-release, has something to do with how s4s converts dds to png and is unique to shadow maps, so for now you use dds for them only, everything else is fine |
