Hello. I do need help.
I have created two different CAS parts based on tattoo and mole located at the same body place. I need mole based part to be higher level then tattoo based but now I have a backward situation. Could someone tell me how can I change (set) the level priority?

hi! You can check the sort layer, here's a tutorial. |

hi! You can check the sort layer, here's a tutorial. oh! thank you very much I'll study that:) I have set sort layer for mole based part to 4000, sort layer for tattoo based part set to 3000 but I still have my tattoo based part overrides mole based part. It does not matter what value I set there, higher or lower, I have the same result anytime. Could you tell me please what am I doing wrong? |

Hi wild_guy ! Try putting the same values as in EA items. Originally tattoo's sort layer is 3000, skin detail's is 2100. So make sort layer in your tattoo 2100 and skin detail 3000. If it doesn't work, make sort layer numbers the same as original (tattoo 2100, skin detail 3000) and try the second method.
Second method: try changing composition method, see examples here and here. Lower number is closer to the skin. Custom skin tones usually have composition method set to 3 or 4 (the one that blend in with EA's skin tone), other skin's composition method is set to 0 and they lay over all custom make up, tattoos. You can try setting it to 1 in tattoo (if it's in black) and to 0 for skin detail, or both 0 and 0 and change numbers in sort layer for tattoo 2100 and skin detail to 3000. I think you'll be able to achieve what you want. CAS sort layer number is responsible for layering (what layers over what) and composition method is responsible for blending. |

Unfortunately I've found sort layer works only if composition method is the same for both parts but I need it to be different. However I've found the variant, maybe not the best but it fits. Thanks a lot for your help and huge thanks to S4S creators! |

Hi Feyona! I wanted to ask again if there is a way to make a detail with composition method 4 to be closer to skin than a detail with composition method 3? Sort layers have a lower priority than composition method and that's why I can't operate them in case I have different composition methods for details. It was so when I tried last time, I thought maybe something changed. |

Nothing has changed. Sort layer and composition method serve different purpose, there is no priority over each other.

Im currently struggling on making one of my skin details (Grayscale set at comp 3) overlap with a full skin overlay (full colored set at comp 0) |

Thank you very much! Unfortunately I've found sort layer works only if composition method is the same for both parts but I need it to be different. However I've found the variant, maybe not the best but it fits. Thanks a lot for your help and huge thanks to S4S creators! Unfortunately I can't tell you anything positive. Personally I needed skin details with composition method (CM) 4 to be placed under the ones that has CM 3 that is lower layer in fact. I could not find a way to do that, so I had to make cuts in CM 4 textures so that they don't cover the textures with CM 3. Sadly, this greatly limits my options, since each such cut must fit the size of the exact skin detail with another CM. I would even say it's a real pain in the ass. An example to be more clear: nipples skin detail must have CM 3 and tan lines one must have CM 4 that has a higher level. But tan lines should not cover nipples. Sort layers doesn't matter in case you use different CMs... So what should I do?? Hopefully there will be some solution to change it one day, but honestly I can't say I believe in this, because some things may be limited with the game. |
