Create a new object mesh.package from an existing mesh

I have a lot problems to add texture. I am trying to do a new mesh and recolor of a wand. But the png texture is in a square, and I can't import it... Can someone help me?

This is the texture I want to add, but as you can see, it is in a square, so studio can not apply it. How do I add the package here? I'm quite new to this

Thanks for all of these great tutorials! They are really helpful for getting new modders like me up and going.

Question: if I clone a mesh from an expansion pack and then replace the mesh of a base game object with it, will my object be base game compatible? On a related note: is there an easy way to test if the object is base game compatible when I have expansions installed?

To keep it simple: if you clone a basegame item, like a base game sofa, its basegame compatible.
When you clone a expansion pack sofa, people need that expansion pack to run your content, because the clone will use the item you selected as a source, so when a user does not have the needed expansion, they will miss the source.

i hope my jibbajabba made some sense to you

Hi miasimmer12 ... Welcome to the forums. I assume your questions is how to create a new mesh from an existing mesh. If so, you can quickly do this by following the tutorial beginning on page one of this thread. Of course, you will need to download the S4S program, along with Blender or Milkshape, and have knowledge of working with those programs (or follow other tutorials). Best wishes, I hope you manage to create some amazing items.

I am getting this error? any idea why?

Hello experts

I'm trying to create an Object (Create 3D Mesh) and based upon a EA object: The Purple Pursuer Action Figure, which is an interactive toy that a toddler/child Sim can play with.

For the Mesh and Texture, I am using one created by someone else as a static decorative object. And I have sized it similar height to the original EA Mesh of The Purple Pursuer.

Looks like I've done most things right importing the Mesh Lod 0, Lod 1, Shadow Lod 0, Shaow Lod 1. Adding the texture. And the object looks really good in the game and the toddler can play with it.



But it doesn't fit in her palm the way the original EA toy does. I think it may be something in the Mesh, regardless of the size I edited the Mesh to be in Blender™

Specifically I edited the Scale X.Y,Z sizes of both the s4studio_Mesh 0 and the s4studio Mesh 1 to be 0.45 instead of 1.0 (original size)



Save as a new Mesh.
I then deleted s4studio Mesh 0. And changed s4studio Mesh 1 in the Scene icon to have a value of 0 under the Cut section of S4Studio CAS Tools. Save as new Mesh (for use in S4S as the Shadow Lod)



Brought it all together in S4S being careful to import Mesh in both Lod 0, 1, shadow lod 0, 1.

So you can see what I've done. But I don't know enough about Blender to expertly say what is different about this Mesh of Buzz Lightyear and the EA Mesh of The Purple Pursuer. Obviously there must be something (with the mesh) that the child's hand is prevented from fitting much closer around the toy.

I've tried my best to use naming conventions as I see it in the two tools. But i am a complete novice. The only Mesh I ever created were for customized sizes for Painting & Posters.

I would appreciate any help to informing me what I can do to fix this.
