[SOLVED] error occurred selecting cc using Create 3D Mesh

Hi. When you clone an item, all of its resources (textures, meshes) are referenced. This means your item depends on the original, so the original package must be in Electronic arts/The sims 4/Mods
As you start replacing some of these resources, the connections are severed. For your item to become independent, it must include all resources.

So, if you want your item to stay dependent on the original, but work as intended, you need to copy the original package from /The sims 4/Mods, then paste it into Electronic arts/The sims 4/Mods. It must be in both Mods folders: in in the first one for s4s to show it in the catalog, in the second one for the game to locate referenced resources.

If you want to make your package independent, open it, then Tools - Modding - Embed all externally referenced resources. This will include all textures and meshes, so you can delete the original. This, of course, most likely is prohibited, if you plan on sharing your content with others. But if you’re doing it for personal use, you can (alternatively, you could just add your swatches to the original)
