Apologies if my question is answered elsewhere, I tried searching and didn't find anything.
I made a custom piece of art using Sims 4 Studio 1.4.2.2. (Aurora) on my Macbook. I did a standalone recolor of an object and selected the 3 tile painting. After I imported my image everything showed up correctly in Build/Buy mode but the object will not go on any walls even if i resize it. It's totally red. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
ETA the closest thing to help I could find was this post but i do not understand how to apply what it says to my situation.
Here's the link to the package link |

Hi. Im not sure what exactly it is that you did differently, but when re-done, it seems to work fine, so try this:
- in s4s main menu choose Standalone recolor and click on Object;
- filter by Custom, choose 3 tiles painting, Next, save in ts4's Mods folder;
- import your diffuse in Texture tab

thank you for your help, mauvemorn ! this is likely a very stupid question but this is my first time trying to make cc. after i import the diffuse in the texture tab, how do i get this in my game from the mods folder to test it? thanks again!
i feel like there is a step i'm somehow missing...i am very confused and now that i've put the file in the mods folder it comes up as a custom option but copying the pkg to my ea folder it's still not working.

You need to put the file in Documents/Electronic arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder, not in s4s’s mods folder.

yes, i tried that and it still didn't work. I'm going to start from the beginning again: 1. in s4s select object standalone recolor
2. select custom content studio recolorables (highlighted in blue here) and create the package in my sims 4 mods folder (not the s4s mods folder) this is what my screen shows 3. after removing the swatches i won't need, i click on the blue texture and then click export it this is what my screen shows 4. in gimp i open the exported texture and it looks like this this is what my screen showscan you please tell me if things are going right so far? i tried adding pics to this post but it didn't work. |

You seem to be doing everything right. The difference may be due to us having different versions ( i use the one for windows)
I will ask ts4 developer to take a look at this file, for now try using a maxis painting instead
