#cc question

[thatonegreenleaf]

Hi. Can you please tell me, I'm a complete newbie and don't understand at all how to update my mods ( I have a cas room too) And how did you update to direct 11? Sorry for asking elementary questions and hoping for a reply or even a tutorial! I will be very grateful

hi there!! no worries! questions are all good :) dx11 is the default rendering api of the game now, so everyone on pc (except those who use intel graphics cards) will have their game automatically run it from now on, with a new in game setting to switch back to dx9.

so, the mods/cc affected are build stuff, buy stuff, and CAS rooms. CAS cc appears to be spared for now, (mostly) which is nice lmao

Most people's build/buy/CAS rooms are perfectly compatible with dx11, and function just as they did on dx9, the only difference is:

dx11 does NOT work for build/buy/CAS rooms mods that include image files (either .dds or .png) that have dimensions that aren't an exact x2 multiple of 128 (so 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc) and will show that silly question mark with the funky colours.

so if any of your mods/build cc is affected (build cc thumbnails are also affected by this change) all you need to do is change your image files so that the dimensions are x2 multiples of 128, and not x3 multiples, or whatever else. You can do this manually, or use the experimental batch fix that sims 4 studio has, here is more info about that!

I hope this answers your question!! if you need any more help please don't worry about reaching out!! :)

I've been trying to get into hair conversions, but I have run into this issue here, can anyone help?

The scalp is part of the hair mesh and visible in the export. Do I have to manually cut the scalp part out or is there some other way?

CC question!

So I am testing this new set...and some weird bug is happening with one of the LODs.

When I zoom out, at first it's normal like this:

But when I zoom out a bit further and it goes to the next LOD, her arms suddenly go behind her back like this:

It only happens when I have her wear the dress + the shoes or the tail at the same time. With other accessories, it doesn't happen and it only happens in the second LOD?? lol I am so confused. Does anyone know what this might be and how to fix it? Also, all my test sims are bald lol

Let's say there is a CC object that when you place it in the mods folder, it causes the game to crash on startup. However, no one else you ask about it is having any issue at all, and/or have gone to specifically check and theirs runs like normal.

What causes something like this? (local cache cleared)

In the past when this has happened to me I just sucked it up and concluded that it must be something to do with my game personally, but what?

Fullbody outfit to preset?

this might be dumb and difficult but is there a way to turn fullbody outfits into a preset? i find cool alien oufits all the time and then i cant put clothes on top of it because its already an outfit...or yknow, the sim gets into the shower and becomes a stranger

example of wat i mean:

someones done an undercut of this hair haven’t they?

[sidehugsnsideblogs]

Does anyone know how/if it’s possible to remove decorations that come with hairstyles? This one looks similar to the FLDS style I’m looking for but the jewels on it make it too fancy for everyday use.
