hi! welcome to the forums! The images are not loading for me. Please refer to this tutorial. Hold ctrl + F to search the page with your browser, write "cut" (without "") and press enter. That is the step you might be missing. I suggest you to read all the tutorial since it describes all the steps for importing a mesh correctly. |

Please share the package file and .blender so that someone can take a look at it.

and it also sometimes just keeps 'importing mesh' for hours. This is normally a sign that your mesh is too high-poly. TS4 is a low-poly game and your meshes should really not exceed 5k poly for detailed/"large" objects such as hairs, clothes and big furniture. Small decor should really not be over 1k poly. If you're using free 3d models, they generally range between 10k-100k poly. |

You can view face count of your mesh on the very top of the Blender window. I don't know what you're making, but if it is more than 3-5k, I suggest you decimate before attempting to import to S4S.

hi! The package can't be viewable. Is it a sims 4 package or a sims 3 package?. I suggest you re-cloning accessory. (i'm assuming it's an accessory(?)). Also, i'm pasting what i said earlier on this thread: "Please refer to this tutorial. Hold ctrl + F to search the page with your browser, write "cut" (without "") and press enter. That is the step you might be missing. I suggest you to read all the tutorial since it describes all the steps for importing a mesh correctly." The cut number MUST match the original item you cloned. |

Alright well there's a number of problems with your object. Your .package won't even open for me, I get an error straight away. In terms of your mesh, your group needs to be called "s4studio_mesh_0", yours is called "group_0". This is going to be a hat, yes? Ideally you would clone a hat that hides all hair (so the wrestler mask, or the Princess Leia "hair"), then replace that mesh with yours within Blender. Your hat in its current state doesn't have any bones so if you do the clone and replace method, that should take care of the bones for you and you would just need to weight-paint your hat. Your object isn't mapped correctly also. With TS4 CAS parts you need to stick to a very strict template otherwise you'll see your horse texture bleed over skin, hair and clothes. You can see the template here. Inabadromance linked you a tutorial on importing Buy meshes, there is one on CAS accessories also. |

The package file is the sims 3, I did not keep the sims 4 package because the mesh ( made in the same way as the tutorial ) did not want to import instead of the base in the games After reading your explanations "j" (that's really the name of secret agent, but ...) I think I understood that creates an object for Sims 4 is really not for my low skill on blender. I'll quit my career of modder on this lamentable failure  |
