TUTORIAL: How to make your Clothing item Sewing table compatible!

With a whole new feature for the sewing table that adds a whole new clothing support feature, you might be curious as a CC creator (or even non-CC creator!) how to enable it to show up as a pattern for the sewing table! :) It's super easy!

If you're looking for the tutorial on how to do this for objects instead, see this: https://modthesims.info/showpost.php?p=5635070&postcount=2

BEFORE WE BEGIN (A note from our sponsors!):

If you ever create any 'sewables' for the sewing table, do let me know! That way, I can give you a shoutout and a direct link to that piece of clothing in the description so others don't have to hunt down for Sewing table compatible clothing! :)

Allright! Let's get started!

What do I need?

You probably have these already if you're a CC creator, but here's the list:-

S3PE

- Notepad or even Notepad++ (any text editor really, just don't use word please :p)

That's it! See, I promised you it would be easy ;)

Things to know when doing this:

1. If you do make your item sewing table compatible, it WILL be hidden in CAS! The sim has to collect the pattern and create the clothing item before you can see it in CAS again. It's a bit like Unlocked outfits (Actually, that cheat will make them show up :p) 

NOTE: For this reason alone, it's also a good idea to either clone your CASpart, or follow the following method below that will give the option at least.

2. Your CAS item will be available for gifting it to other sims! (And they will wear it ;))

How to do it:

Luckily, this is actually more easier than doing it for objects, in fact, it's even less numbers! :p But! let's get started!

This workflow assumes that you've completed your clothing item and have packaged it. Therefore, the current state should be pretty much 'releasable'. You can still, of course, go in and edit all sorts of things later on (Think, meshes, Categories, textures, etc). But just so there aren't any dangers the CASP file changes.

1. First, Export the CASP resource from the package. This is so your downloaders can choose whether they want a 'sewing table enabled' item or just see your item directly.

2. Create a whole new package, by clicking File > New.

3. Import your CASP resource you exported. (You can drag&drop it in too if you're lazy like me :p)

4. Now you're seeing this popup with instance, group and type. If you accidentally clicked 'ok' on this one, just double click the CASP ;). Click the button 'COPY RK'. Paste this in a notepad or wherever.

5. Click OK.

6. Now go to Resource in the top bar > Add.

7. In the popup write the following:TYPE, fill in: _XML 0x0333406CGROUP, fill in : 0x7354C1FCINSTANCE, Fill in the instance of your CASP resource. Here's an example if you're unsure where to find it:If my CASP were to be: 0x034AEECB-0x00000000-0x1289EDD7532CA188Then, 0x1289EDD7532CA188 is the instance ID! Use this.

8. Now click OK! you should see an XML resource and a CASP in your package now :)

9. RIGHT-Click on the XML file, you should see on the bottom that it says 'Notepad'. If you want to use Notepad++ or any other external program Instead see: http://www.simlogical.com/ContentUploadsRemote/uploads/1613/How_to_Make_an_XML_Tuning_Mod.pdf (And then click 'text editor, rather than notepad of course ;))

10. You should now see your text editor open with absolutely nothing! :D Now, go ahead and copy this:

----

0x034AEECB-0x00000000-0x66FD9ACE77C4E50A

Cotton, KnittedisMagicProject=False

isDiscoverableOnly=False

amountOfFabricToRemove=2

isClothing=True

ClothingName=String to import

Allright! so before we're editing anything, I do want to explain what is what. So:

Line 1 is your ENTIRE resource key for your CASP.

Line 2 is the fabric that it needs to consume :) You can choose out of the following: Knitted, Cotton, Denim, Satin, Leather, Synthetic

NOTE: Don’t do ‘Knitted, knitted, denim’ or whatever to have it remove Knitted twice. this won’t work as we’re basically telling the importer script that we just mean to remove X amount (2 if you take my example snippet) of Knitted and Denim ;)

Line 3 is whether your item can only be made by an occult sim!

Line 4 is if you don’t want your pattern to be loaded in when one uses the ‘DEBUG_GetAllPatterns’ interaction. Personally I’d just keep it to false ;)

Line 5 Is the amount of fabric that needs to be removed. Currently, in this case, it would mean that both cotton and knitted will have 2 of them removed. So if you only want to remove one of each, set this number to 1!

Line 6 is Whether it’s clothing. make sure to keep this as true!

Line 7 is the name of your item. this will show up as the pattern’s name and as the text under the item when you select it from the ‘sewing clothing’ dialogue. Keep this as short as possible! else the text will go through the button of the dialogue, or other items :p

NOTE: DO NEVER REMOVE THE ---- ! You will break the import code for it if you do!!! 

Now that we know about this... Let’s get started!

11. In the first line, remember when I said at step 4 to paste your CASP resource key somewhere? Well, this is the time to paste it! :)

12. Set your settings as desired!

13. Save inside the notepad or program, close the program, and if you see the old XML resource being crossed out then you’ve done it! :) If it’s empty, then you probably forgot to save the item in the notepad.

14. Now, we need to set the CASP resource as ‘hidden in cas’. To do so go to GRID at the bottom of S3PE, In the new popup, collapse ClothingCategory and find ‘HiddenInCAS’. Set this to True. Commit.

15. Save the package, I’d recommend calling it something like ‘CLOTHINGNAME_LyraleisSewingTableCompatible.package’.

15. Now dump both your regular CASpart package and your sewing table enabled package in your mods folder! :) You will notice that if you decide to take out the sewing table compatible package that your CASpart will show up in CAS again. But as mentioned before, that's the whole point of the sewing table’s new functionality ;) Also! Congrats on making your first default replacement! :D

Hopefully this was simple enough to understand! if you have any trouble with it, let me know!

I dusted, cleaned, and oiled my machine today! Maybe I'll be more comfortable running a whole quilt through this. And yes, I don't have the arm😂this is not just a secondhand machine but I'm pretty sure I'm the third or fourth owner. I have the extension arm on back order and a new lightbulb on its way. I'm very excited to have my creative space clean again🥰

MY SEWING MISTAKES.

We are human. We make mistakes. But there are mistakes we know we are making but we keep the pattern.

Hobbies, in general, are dirty and they take up space and time and, having a room in the house to contain them is very fortunate. But even though we do, it doesn’t mean we don’t make any mistakes the minute we step in it.

I have been keeping an eye on myself for quite a while, trying to see what I do wrong so I can work more efficiently and better, and, at last, I have discover a few things that, at first don’t seem too important, but slow down creativity. In my case, half of them have to do with always being in a hurry and not patient enough and the rest, with a lack of organisation, basic in the sewing room.

- I always want to finish, to see the final result. And rushing is no good for sewing or anything else in life!

- I dream about future projects before finishing the one I’m working on.

- I waste time tidying up and cleaning when I come in the sewing room, instead of leaving ready for the next project beforehand.

- I forget to make a list of what I need for a project before I start, what means I have to go back to the haberdashery.

- Using the wrong fabric for a project.

- Taking my measurements wrong.

- Leaving too much seam allowance, but sewing on the edge.

- Not pressing my seams.

- Being afraid of doing thing wrong and even of cutting fabric.

The good thing about this is that, from now on, I’m going to be really careful of not making these mistakes so I can enjoy my sewing!
