Hello. I hate to bother you but I'm also having trouble with objects not showing up after I put them in the folder. What I was trying to recolor is this. Thanks in advance.

It's easier to find custom content if you put a check mark in the CC box on the thumbnail list page. Alternatively you can type the creator's name into the search box:  |

I don't have a "CC only" box on my S4S program.
I have version 2.4.2.0 (love)
Oh and I just realised there's probably an update ... sorry.

Hi thewul, welcome to Studio forums. In order for CC to show up in the thumbnail list you need to put it into your Documents/Sims 4 Studio/Mods folder or else Studio can not see it. Studio looks in your Sims 4/Mods folder if you click the My CC button and it looks in your Sims 4 Studio/Mods folder to add custom items to the thumbnail list for cloning  |

Hi and thanks for your welcome as for the fast response.
Copied the stuff over and now I'm fine =)
Well fine as long as DST-Images and UV-Maps/Normal Maps aren't involved, these seem somehow broken to me (coming from Poser) - gotta check the tutorials...

You're welcome. If you clone a custom content item Studio will make an exact renumbered clone complete with correct image and UV maps. Differences in normals can occur and those result from how Blender interprets normals. This has been the topic of several discussions in the Creator help section so if you run into questions that would also be a good place to check for information. |

Hi, I need a little help. I've made a couple of recolors and they show up in game, but when I go to switch sims or even leave, my game freezes and crashes instantly. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have followed the instructions to the T but it still crashes.

Hi seanshirayuki, welcome to Studio forums. If you post the .package I can take a look at it. |

Here is the first one VestAnd here is the second one SocksI have tried both of the original mods that they came from and the game works fine, but it crashes every time I try to use mine. With a family of 4 I can change say the socks of one, but when I go to switch to the other person then the game freezes and vice versa. And if I try to just save after changing one outfit then it'll crash on the loading screen. |

Hi seanshirayuki, I've tried both items in my game and they worked fine. You do have non-standard sized custom swatch thumbnails in both and my guess is, that on some systems, this would be sufficient to cause problems running the game. The swatch thumbnails are .dds images and they need to be sized in a power of 2 (2n). They should be 32 x 32 px. Try changing these and see if this clears up the problem you're having.
Also, when zooming out from the socks and the top in the game the texture takes on the color of Sim skin. This is because you did not save your images with the generate mip maps box checked. In order to fix that you can use the image you've already made and just save it again as a .png or as .dds DXT5 (interpolated alpha) with the generate mip maps box checked. This issue should not cause the game to crash but it will make the garment look unsightly at all distances except right up close.

Thank you ^.^ lowering the icon size worked. And I kept generate mip maps checked this time. Thank you for your help and time.
