Texture Size Comments

Not really a reply post since I don’t have anything to add to what I’ve already said about the topic, but I’m under impression that dumblr deletes comments from older posts so I wanted to preserve this discourse as people brought up very good points. Much text under the cut but it’s worth a read. Even more here and @mdpthatsme​'s related 4t2 hair texture tutorial is here.

Incredibly so.

The top two pictures are adult female wrist, the bottom male. Male wrist is bigger of course. The accessory is the same size for both.  All four pictures have different bone assignments.  It’s a lot of fiddling to find the right combination.

Stagoingsimcrazy replied to your post: Hat problem

Delete all the cache files after doing mesh/texture edits on CAS files. They still contain “shadow references” of the old mesh/texture after you’ve edited them, and if you’ve saved sims with the hat, the wrong one shows on them (but the right one can still show on sims who haven’t tried the accessory). Deleting the caches (2-4 files) removes these “shadow references”.

I’m so used to deleting the Groups.cache before every session, I completely forgot Accessory.cache was a thing too, oops! And deleting it worked!

But there were some weird transparency issues going on with all the hats, so I thought maybe I’d broken things even worse, but I had the same problem with the original files. So I had a look in SimPE and realised I needed to change StandardMaterial to SimStandardMaterial in the TXMT. And finally!

Doesn’t he look marvellous!?

Tomorrow I might even get around to playing him!

goingsimcrazy replied to your post: What is the object limit in TS2? The alleged...                

   I haven’t heard about this problem before, but for all I know there could be some truth to it. Just one comment about the MYD mod - it could be that something in this mod is interfering with something in your game, rather than it being the amount of items causing problems. Nowadays there’s also the problem with GUIDs being more or less randomly assigned, which could end up being a problem.

Maybe the mod itself is causing some issues in your game. Just because it works fine for the creator doesn’t mean it will work perfectly for everyone else.

Well, yes. I could be wrong, last time I added a bunch of new stuff and had the same problem, I found a crashy rug a few weeks later, so I can’t ever be 100% sure. There’s no logs or error messages, just a crash to desktop, and there could quite easily be a glitchy piece of CC hiding somewhere in my downloads that I won’t find until I stumble across the right conditions to make it crash consistently. That’s what makes this thing such a pain to investigate.

That said, I don’t think it’s the mod, or the CC that comes with it. I took out half of the new objects, then the other half, then put the whole mod in and took out a totally unrelated folder of stuff I knew worked, and then did a duplicate GUID scan for good measure, then played around taking out items one by one until the game stopped crashing, then added random objects back, which all crashed the game, then took the dig mod out entirely and put a completely different bunch of objects in that I’d just downloaded, then a bunch of objects I’d taken out a couple of months ago last time I had this problem. Every single time, no matter which combo of objects it was, once I added about 50, the game crashed. So until something else happens, I can really only conclude that this was the fault of the object limit.

goingsimcrazy replied to your photo: Something interesting I discovered when ripping...

I think normally, paintings are deleted too. Are you sure that’s a normal painting and not a modded object? Only thing I can think of is if the walls you used behind it are modded (or the walls chosen when deleting?)    

It’s vanilla EAxis lots, so no modded walls, just a default replacement that shows how tall they are. I am replacing them with modded walls, but they stay even if I use the standard wall tool to delete walls. Heck, they even stay when I use the sledgehammer on walls! The wall deco has all been replaced with the Sweet Down Low set, but that just moves it all down so it doesn’t get dark shadows when you shift them on the walls, so I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I ould be wrong though.

What is really weird is that it doesn’t work on every lot. When I delete the walls in dorms (after changing them to residential lots), paintings go too. But that only seems to be the case for dorms that were inhabited first. The uninhabited ones, paintings stay!

Tribbles? So want! Are they up for download anywhere?

@goingsimcrazy - They’re from Mod the Sims under the Pets section!
