Hi, I did a Standalone Recolor (w/ 31 different textures) of Serinion's Portable Bucket at MTS. (My recolors modthesims.info/d/645967/31-recolors-of-serinion-s-portable-bucket-for-ablution.html). I did it before seeing this tutorial, so I did open the file from the projects shortcut to make additional changes. I saw that for recoloring it said you had to open it differently to avoid overwriting "the original". Does that mean the original mesh from which the object was cloned/created or does it overwrite the original new recolor being made? Serinion said it looks like the mesh was included in my package (which I did not intend) but I have no idea how to tell and at least one user said my recolors would not work (showed up but gave footprint error & couldn't be placed) until the user installed Serinion's original file. 1. How do I tell if the mesh was included? 2. If Serinion updated the object I recolored & gave it the same filename as the original & I put that .package in my Mods folder, would my recolor automatically reflect those changes or would I have to make the recolors all over again? I just tested & it did not update to the new object's stats but I don't know if it's drawing from the mesh or not. Looks like I will have to recolor the new file (but how do I make it so it will always reference the updates to the original file by Serinion)? 3. If it did include the mesh, how do I fix that so it will draw on the updated mesh instead of the original/cloned one? 4. When doing standalone recolors of a CC buy mode object, do I need to do anything special other than importing textures & updating swatches and thumbnails to make it work properly? I found that when I tried to do recolors of Teknikah's Sprinkler bucket (which used the original bucket that Serinion modified), it overwrote the colors on Teknikah's object. It was drawing from an EA mesh. Not sure what I was doing wrong there to cause that so I just sent my files to Teknikah to update the recolors in his/her thread. I apologize if this has been broached before, but my eyes started blurring over trying to go through every page of the thread. |

Is it still true that CAS Standalone does not include the mesh when you recolor CC? I keep trying to produce a recolor that will only work if the mesh is also present, and I keep putting new file created into a game that has never had the mesh in it before, and it keeps working anyway.
Turned out to be a different issue which I have brought up elsewhere.

Hi, I followed this tutorial with s4s verion 3.1.3.7 for Windows (the lattest) but when I click on Custom the CC creations doensn't appear. I've already updated The Sims 4 and nothing worked, even if I see the creator's CC in game. Can someone tell me what I have to do?
Sorry for the bad english

Hi, there!
I created some recolors of a canvas that showed up in game perfectly. After that I attempted to recolor a chair, but when I moved the finished package to my sims 4 mods folder the game wouldn't start. I removed the new package and it still wouldn't start, so I removed my canvas recolor package (which worked fine before) and the game started like normal. Any idea why my recolors spontaneously stopped the game from starting?

Hello! I don't know if this is a nooby problem, but as you can probably see below, I made a recolor of the Cats & Dogs sign. Sadly, I don't know why in game it looks like this. I believe that it has something to do with missing the mesh, but I own C&D. I am fairly new to Sims 4 Studio so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also having the issue where CC isn't showing up in the "create standalone cas" part of s4s, even though it's properly in the mods folder, works in-game, and is even read fine by the My CC button to the right. I came to the last page of comments, hoping to see if it was a newish bug with a fix-- because the UI doesn't exactly match the images in the tutorial after all-- but... either we're all idiots in the same way and this happens a lot, but no one has commented to say "the answer to your issue was posted ages ago on p3 of this thread" or something, or it is a bug and it... still hasn't been addressed? :c idk. I really do hope I'm just being idiotic here, and there's an easy solution I've missed.

I did not have any problems before, granted the last time I recolored anything was in October. But, all I did was update S4S and it's telling me that it can't find Sims4 (I have reset the path several times, and it gives me an error message) and it won't show any custom content, though I have all of my folders set up correctly as shown. There has to be some kind of fix, since I'm seeing plenty of people posting their new CC and recolors. :( |

So when I choose the file I want to recolor, it prompts another file explorer window to open up within the Program Files with a bunch of oddly named folders.

I'm struggling to recolor a piece of custom content, I've added it to my mods folder and for some reason it still won't show up when I go into my Sims 4 Studio. I've tried many things and I can't get it to work at all! I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fix this.

I have the wishes version for my computer and it's all connected to my Sims 4 but no cc will show up when I try to make something in the "create standalone cas" I'm worried I didn't do something right or if it's a bug. Whatever it is I hope it gets fixed soon or I get information on how to solve the problem. |
