Sims 4 Studio for Mac 1.3.3.7 (Apple Blossom)
Sims 4 Studio is a versatile tool for making custom content for Sims 4, editing existing .packages, and batch-fixing and merging your Sims 4 custom content.
The interface for Sims 4 Studio for Mac is much like that of the Windows version, although there are some minor differences. Please feel welcome to check out the Windows version tutorials. If you run into differences that hamper your progress, post in the tutorial thread for help or open a thread in the Creator Help section.
New in 1.3.3.7:
Added support for all packs up to the Werewolves game pack and SDX content.
There are three batch fixes in this update.
1. Update Slider Compatible Hair (Werewolf patch) - this fixes textures on any hair you have that is compatible with the sliders and was broken with the recent patch.
2. Update Hairs for Color Slider Compatibility - makes hairs that aren't compatible with the color slider mod color slider compatible. This will work on older hairs that weren't made compatible to begin with and on hairs that were previously run through another application's batch fix to turn broken LRLEs back into RLE2s (please see note(*) below).
3. Update Sliders (Werewolf patch) - this updates slider mods rendered non-functional in the latest patch.
These are beta batch fixes. We have tested them, but due to the great variety in Sims 4 custom content, there could still be issues we did not encounter in our tests.
If you discover something that was fixed incorrectly please do the following:
1. Send me the broken package, so I can see what went wrong and fix it.
2. Copy the contents of your batchfix backup folder and paste it into your mods folder. This will reverse all changes that were made by the batch fix, returning your content to the way it was before you ran the batch fix. Your batchfix backup folder is here: Documents/Sims 4 Studio/Batch Fixes
*Please note: if you have previously run a batch-fix process using some other application that converted all your LRLEs back to RLE2s, then you will need to run the batch fix named Update Hairs for Color Slider Compatibility. This will convert your RLE2 images to LRLE images compatible with the color slider mod.
