Q&A
Hi ! I am making this post because I'm not very active here, not to say not active at all here and I see some of you have questions or experiencing some different bugs.
First of all I want to thank you for the kind messages I have received, it really means a lot even if I see your messages only once in a while <3
I will update this post if new issues occur with time so don’t hesitate to check this if you have issues, maybe the answer is already here :)
I have been through all your notes and try to report the issues that happened to several players. If not mentioned underneath, it may be something of a personal issue that comes from conflict with other cc you have installed or just from the game itself as we all know sometimes The Sims 4 can be a little funny !
And also for several reasons like not enough time etc, I am not making submission for cc unfortunately !
TIPS & TRICKS
Appliances disappearing when placed on counters :
You have to make sure the ‘Auto Counter’ is off because it makes disappear cc appliances
- “packages ending by “texture” ” :
To make the cc set take less space in your hard drive, I try to make some similar objects sharing the same textures. The game will only load one set of textures for several items instead of multiple times the same texture for each item. This technique requires the package file having the textures in your mod folder if you use the unmerged version. To make it easier to spot it, I added “texture” at the end of the name of it. If you use the merged version, you don’t have to worry about anything.
If the package with the textures is missing, you will have the items in purple with question marks in your game.
TECHNICAL ISSUES
- Purple items with question marks :
As mentioned above, make sure to have the packages ending by “textures” in your mod folder.
- Wallpapers with question marks :
After the DirectX 11 update, a lot of wallpapers broke. I have updated all of them and reuploaded my Patreon and CurseForge. If you encounter this issue, try to redownload them.
Also, for some reason, the merged version keeps this issue for some players. Try the unmerged version to see if it solves the issue. Unfortunately for some people there is no solution found for this issue as it works fine for the majority of players.
- Windows with question marks :
Auntie Vera’s windows has no solution found as it works for a majority of players but is not working for some without any reason..
The other windows with purple and question marks can happen if you use the merged version. Often, the unmerged version solves the issue.
- Domaine du Clos Kitchen :
I have made some tests with the cabinets and dishwashers and everything works fine on my side. Maybe you can try downloading the unmerged version if that is not the one you’re using. Otherwise I don’t have any clue on what can cause this issue.
- Auntie Vera Plumbing :
while creating the plumbing, I’ve made a mistake on the texture size which happened to create loading issues or stuff like that. The problem has been solved since, you can redownload it for updated plumbing !
RANDOM
- Extensions from previous sets :
I won’t do extra items for the past sets as, but you can do them for yourself if you want too !
- Missing items:
If some items are missing, it may be because they require a specific stuff pack. I tend to make them base game as much as possible, and if not, I will mention it in the description of each set. Also, I can make mistakes so make sure to search by the name of the set in your game just in case.
- Beddings score :
I won’t update previous beddings scores but I took this comment in consideration and the recent and future beddings have higher scores.
- Dark Shadows on cabinets or similar items :
While creating items like fridges etc, I delete occluders so it doesn’t cast strong shadows on elements above like the cabinets. The occluders are used by the game to create more realistic shadows with lights if I’m right, but for some specific items like fridges I use to delete them. That’s why you may have hard shadows while placing fridges from the game under fridge nook cabinets for example.
