Okay I want a wall / room divider from the chef station. In blender looks fine as always and in S4S model viewer looks horrible:   I deleted the vertex group and the s4studio_meshes that I don´t need for the divider. I bake the texture, edited the shadow and bump map, deleted some slots. I know I must editing in the warehouse the tuningID (this is not yet edited). But what else must I do that it´s work or what I´m doing wrong? Hope anybody can help with my huge problem and thanks for your time. |

If you are cloning from an actual Room Divider, you would just need to Export the Chef Station's Mesh and Texture Files to Desktop...Open in Blender, save to Desktop as OBJ. File.
The next step would be creating another S4S File with the Divider that you want to Replace. Import the Texture from the Chef Station into your Divider, (It will look Stupid.), then Export the Mesh. Open the Mesh in Blender and Import your Chef Station OBJ. File.
Then, you can adjust everything in Blender, with switching and Cuts.
I will look @ it....

Okay I will definitely try this but I want the chef station because you can put it in the wall and have an hole in the wall. You know what I mean? And I think it´s not work if I replace my divider with a normal divider as a base. But I give it a try :D Thanks @stevenssimsstuff

i looked @ your file and yes, it's still listed as a Chef Station - that was my question. So, you want the Chef Station with a Wall in front of it....that's completely different than a simple Wall Divider swap. Don't use what i wrote to do that.
You would actually have to Modify the Chef Station Mesh for it to keep working as a Chef Station.
Probably' go for the Medium and/or Tall wall Template/s to add to the front and Join + UV Map it to the Chef Station mesh.
It's some work involved but it's do-able.
I haven't really played Dining Out, that much...to be Honest just visited the Stock EA Lot 1 Time...ha!
But, i will look into this too Tonight...Coffee!

 I went to Start on an Example File and the GEO warning Pops-up. I understand now, that you don't need a Wall....You want to make this work without anything but the little shelf. Clever! The GEO is a sticky on that. Let's try anyhow! (Ha!) |

I know I had the popup too but I don´t knew what that mean whit this. I tried it with a normal divider what you mean without the wall templates but I must use it with half walls for the bottom part of my mesh and the top over the mesh is x_x I try it tomorrow. You are the same timezone as I :D I´m tired now.

 Transferred the Weights and Vertex Groups by using an OBJ. Export/Import Swap....have to do a little bit more work....still think the Animation will Crash it or look horrible...not sure. Get back with you later...Sweet Dreams!  |

I've never ventured into, "Tuning Mods", mainly because with every EA Update - (Most and/or All) - Tuning Mods have to be Updated, or they will either stop working or make your Game act funny, or Crash.
In just the past couple of years, i am content to have learned to work with Blender, learned to Map Objects and learned to Respect the amount of work involved in Creating something, from your imagination. The last Update also taught me to Respect the sheer Power of an Update; You can't just Delete the Bump map and the Specular, a painful Lesson learned.
This Mod will require a Tuning Mod and to be Honest with you - Tuning Mods require maintenance, at least until there are no longer any more Sims4 Updates. Assuming that the Sims4 Franchise is still releasing Product, that will be some Time and Work involved in keeping something like this working.
I would like to Help you more but you are probably better off asking someone who knows the in's and out's of EA Updates.
Anyhow, you will have to Modify This File and possibly' Add some, "Salt or Pepper", for Taste. (Humor...ha!)
-Rock On!
Click on S4S - Tools Extract Tuning - and Enter 135402 at the Top. This is the Tuning that will have to be changed.

Wooooooooow @stevenssimsstuff oh my goodness. It was a really hard work for you but I won´t my game crashing with these stuff changing. Thank you so much for your time! I have still a few ideas but if these won´t work then I forget this idea to modding.

I might missunderstand the problem but if you are trying to turn the chef station into a room divider, aren't you essentially trying to make a window without glass that looks like a piece from the chef station?

No, i misunderstood earlier too. She wants the Chef Station to Function, but minus everything but the Window/Counter to show up. To be able to accomplish this would require several Tuning Mods. There would be issues with the Food making/Stove...etc. Not saying it can't be done. But it would take a Lot of Coding. The Problem is the Animation action calls, plus the Mesh requires all of the Lods to Function correctly, you can't just Delete s4studio_mesh_2 thru 6; it doesn't work like that. I went for a Cheap way around on Experimenting last night...Took the Texture Map and made everything except the Counter and Window area a Blank Alpha, (Invisible.). The problem with that: In the Game those areas that are mapped on Blank Alpha will show up Black. This is a New Pack, so who knows? Might be do-able later. |

Right, I want the chef station without the counters (to put your own counters, oven etc.) but with function to can serving drinks on it with a sitting function in front of it. It´s a really hard work to do. But I will try again. My hope dies at last  Yes I hope it too freeasabird |

Yes I hope it too
