Hi there! I'm attempting to recolor Noir's female bulge bottom mesh in order to create some more underwear options for my trans women sims. I've had success with many different recolors, but I can't seem to get Kumikya's Lilac bottom to work. It looks fine in S4S but when I import it into game the sim's full lower body is completely invisible. I've tried to remake it multiple times with the same outcome. Here is the package file I've been working in - it's not explicit save for a small bulge in the front: drive.google.com/file/d/1ARn09fa87Nu-Z9xz4PAhw2W2b6a6mV-F/view?usp=drive_linkThank you so much in advance! |

Hi. Since you replaced only textures, the package still relies on the original one for other resources. Since the original in not in Documents/Electronic arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder, the game cannot locate them.

Oh, I think I understand. So the problem is that I should add Noir's mesh to my mods folder?
I've been clicking "create cas standalone", does that mean that the mesh is not included when I do that? In order to include the mesh, would I instead select "create 3d mesh"?

Just for my own curiosity - why did other recolors work, but this one didn't? I don't think I did anything differently.

Create CAS standalone and Create 3d mesh do the same exact thing, which is reference all resources until they are overwritten or embedded. Hasn’t always been this way, but s4s developers decided to not have s4s automatically include meshes to avoid problems with EA (making pack items BGC is considered piracy).
You need to have the original package in The Sims’s mods folder. If you won’t remove it, there will be no problem, which must have been the case for previous items. Some items require no meshes, so this could be another reason.
if you want to make your package truly standalone, with the original one still in Sims 4 Studio Mods folder, do Tools - Modding - Embed externally referenced resources
