Broken CC? No problem!
CAS and BB custom content gets a second chance here. Submit your problem file and I'll take a look at it.
Why am I doing this? Because I'm tired of creators not caring. The community deserves better and I have the skills to help out.
Fixed files can be found HERE🔗 in my Google Drive.
Feel free to @ me when you see broken CC in the wild too.
I also offer help to creators who ran into problems. My DMs are always open for you.
Ah perhaps not the nicest preview screenshot but here we go anyway...
The footprint for Donut Co.'s Celeste rugs has completely vanished so I just cloned a new rug and re-imported all of their pretty swatches. It should work again now.
Note: I sent them an ask regarding the file and publishing it, but didn't get a reply, and since their TOU seems to be quite open: You can download my version here And you can find the originals here
Changes made:
Resized texture files from 2048x2048px to 512x512px for all swatches. Fair warning: this made the file smaller! Added a highlight to the textures to Maxis Match-ify them a bit more Made a new package to get the footprint back
Mind you this is only Part 1 so far. Editing those takes time, but I will try to do the full set. Thank you for your patience and patients!
Y'ELLO 🫡 Idk if you're still doing these but there's this rug set that's missing a footprint and the creator stopped responding 6 months ago. Is that an easy fix? patreon(.)com/posts/donut-co-celeste-138617193
Hello back! Yes, I am still doing this, just got swarmed by mini fixes and private edits lately.
I took a peek at your rugs because I thought it was an easy fix... oh no. Oh no, no, no... A rug texture has no business having more pixels than my monitor. I like the patterns though, but those need serious love before I let them go and considering how many swatches there are this might take half of eternity.
Thank you for taking the time. I removed my entire mods folder, redownloaded the cargo pants and added them as the only thing to my game. This is how they look: imgur(.)com/a/er3AMNg
It's a brand new save and a brand new vanilla sim. I just re-checked my settings and they're all set to max and both the game and my graphics card is up to date as well. I am by the way also zoomed quite far away from the sim. We're talking almost opposite ends of the neighborhood, but it makes them unusable.
Woah yeah, that is extreme and unusable!
Maybe I'm using/testing a different CC file? How old is the one you have issues with / where did you get it from?
Hello! Denise Cargo Pants guy again. My graphic settings are all set to max except edge smoothing, because of ReShade. I tested the pants on different sims and they flicker across my screen, as soon as I zoom away from the sim. Could it be a rendering problem? And do you know if that is something I can fix myself? Thanks ✌️🙏
That's weird in more than one way ?? You're probably onto something with the rendering problem idea.
Do you by chance use custom body presets or animation overrides? Some mods and CC mess with the sims' rig and that'd be my next thing to investigate. Maybe something ends up conflicting or not registering on your end..?
Here's how the pants look in my game zoomed out just for comparison:
Hello! So, aladdin-the-simmer looks to have left the community and a pair of their pants looks like they have broken weights, so I wondered if you could fix them 🙏 drive(.)google(.)com/file/d/1vvyo-a41nqpR-TeDTGHnUi4YdXbAzTRA/view It is the Denise Cargo Pants from their Sunny Day 2 set! Thanks in advance, I think what you're doing is really fantastic 💯
Hello back! I tested them in my own game on high graphics settings and could not find anything wrong with them. They also look fine in blender.
There is a chance CC bugs out on lower graphics settings. That is, when your sim-detail setting is below medium or if you run laptop mode.
Some fun trivia: TS4 does not need that much when it comes to rendering. The thing that makes your computer's fans sound like a jet taking off is the game loading assets and calculating the actual simulation. The original minimum requirements for it are 128MB of dedicated video memory, with 1GB of graphics card if you want to run on higher settings. Almost all laptops nowadays have at least twice as much.
Hello! Thank you for all you do. You're definitely a beacon in these trying times lol. 😔🙏😂
I love Kotcat's lipsticks, especially the Brown collection, the Red collection, and the Pink collection. However, I can't get them to show up in my game. They were lifesavers before the makeup slider update, and I used them on a ton of sims. Is there any way to fix them? I tried to do batch updates on S4Studio, but to no avail. T-T Here's the Patreon links, but they're also here on Tumblr!

They show up fine in my game (v. 1.119.109.1020) Have you checked for duplicates and conflicts already? Updated CC does not play nice with older versions.
the ice cream clock from this cc dump by meghewlett has weird shadows around it :( is there anything you can do to get rid of them pls?
https://meghewlett.tumblr.com/post/137968243961/i-did-more-random-cc-againhope-you-guys-like
Yeah, I can. The dropshadow's UV map was off. That's one of the quickest and easiest things to fix that you could bring me. Thus:
Changes made:
Remapped UV of the dropshadow mesh for both LODS. It should be invisible now.

Hey, any chance you could take a look at this bedding? I'm pretty sure it's a straightforward one, probably broke with the rest of the beds with the highschool years update back when that launched, but I LOVE these bedspreads so much. No rush whatsoever, no pressure, and hope you're having a good week! (spaces put in the link to prevent it from getting censored by tumblr, lol)

That just needed a small batchfix! Studio can do that for you next time something breaks, which means you won't have to wait ages to get your CC. I am so sorry this took so long.
Changes made:
Ran "Fix bed slots for HSY patch" batchfix via S4Studio.

Hello! Just a question! Does your cc fixing include fixing weights? I believe that's the issue- some CC just. . . breaks on my bigger sims in such strange ways. I understand if this isn't covered under broken cc since it's technically not broken, I just want my plus size sims to wear cute clothes ☹️
CC breaking on bigger or super muscular sims is a UV1 thing and I cover this, yeah.
I'm having some trouble with my S4Studio version right now that I need to sort through before I can continue to fix stuff though. The newest install of it doesn't like to play nice with my graphics card and the version I'm running now isn't compatible with fairies so I don't dare mess things up more.
If you are brave enough to try it yourself, there is a "cheap and dirty" way to just transfer UV1 from one of the EA meshes. Here's a great tutorial that guides you through the whole process. Link🔗 - keep in mind that some outfits with extra stuff might need touch-ups by hand.
hello, not a patient, but i'm fairly new to making recolors and i wanted to ask for help, i hope that's okay! 🙏
typically when i want to add patterns to an item, i paste an image of the pattern i want and select blend mode > multiply, then remove the excess so it fits the item properly. though when i do that the colors come out muted and sort of muddy, even when i turn up the brightness/contrast/whatever else it doesn't look quite right. is there a better way to do this? also if that matters i use pixlr editor, i also have photopea but i find it more difficult to use lol
Hi there. I heard through the grapevine that this is how EA does it too. Although they allegedly stick to gradient maps instead of flat colors.
If the multiply layer ends up too muted I tend to use an overlay over it to add more pop to the final result. Their order also matters.
You may need to experiment a little bit with it on your own since most art software mixes blend modes differently. In Photopea my method would look like this, but the general idea should work in pixlr too
I love that you are doing this and I've enjoyed following along and seeing updates on all of your patients and today I actually have one to submit myself.
I love this wife pleaser top from Green Llamas but my sims loose a chuck of their neck when they wear it. Can you save it?
patient: [greenllamas] SKYLIGHT_Wife_Pleaser_Tank
I can upload the file, if needed.
The dreadful shadow line. I've caused that one myself far too many times not to recognize it. It's such an easy fix too, you just need to make sure all transparency on your shadow texture is white. Don't ask me why though, especially since it works for EA.
Changes made:
Removed alpha layer from shadow map texture

Hello! So, I have a project I've been fiddling with for a few months now; I want to make a re-mesh/recolor for the Practice Makes Perfect Priscilla statue from B&H. The farthest I've gotten was the realization that this object's texture uses an sRGB/DDS file and not a PNG like most other sims objects. I got over hurdle of not being able to touch the texture through complicated Eldrich means, but now even with a png of the diffuse the big obstacle I'm hitting is that when I try out my new mesh/texture in game, it places invisible and then uses that error rainbow texture. I think maybe the problem is something with the mesh, but I've got no clue where it's coming from even after haphazardly poking around the blender guts. Any idea what might be causing the rainbow issue?
TestingPriscilla.package - Google Drive
Oh hi! I have you saved in my bookmarks :>
Priscilla is just broken. I tried to recolor her before too and ended up noticing that whoever made the asset somehow completely wrecked the mesh entries for all swatches. How exactly it is referencing the instance IDs in game is their secret to keep, I guess. It's also causing the rainbow since that's the game telling you "help, I can't find the image with the ID you gave me! Sorry, no textures available!" At this point I think you're safer to make a "new" Priscilla and banish the old one into debug imo.
The objects in business and hobbies are a hazard and I'm not ashamed to call them out.
Hi, I have two cc, Grunge Walls & Blood Stain!. I've tried S4T fixes, 50/50 (and then removing all CC and mods), but both CC still won't show in Build & Buy.
I think the creator of the blood stains wanted them to be debug. They showed up with cheats. The wall is hidden in debug too, but I think it's probably by mistake. Sometimes people will clone debug objects to use them as base for their CC and then they forget to make them buy-able in the normal catalog. Gets even more messy if you are like me and use MCCC to permanently have the cheat active.
Anyway, here's both the blood stains and walls unlocked for the normal catalog. They show up in my own game just fine now.
Changes made:
Changed DevCategoryFlags from 00000080 to 000000A0 Changed DevCategoryFlags from 000000A0 to 00000080

hi! i’ve had these glasses by tina sims (link here) in my game for a while and haven’t used them very often because they seem to warp? (not sure what the right word is) whenever i tried, only to find out that this only happens on plus sized sims. i've added some example pictures just to explain better what i mean.
the first picture is of my sim set to the lowest weight possible on the slider while the other is an example of the same sim on the max weight. i realize it's not too bad, but still bothers me a bit none the less. the creator hasn't been active on tumblr for a while now and while i would like to fix it myself, i’m not very knowledgeable on making cc or using blender, so i was hoping is there any possible way something could be done to fix them?
thank you!
Hi back. You're lucky I just came back from a small vacation and your ask just happened to be the first thing that popped up.
For some reason uv_1 aka the thing that controls sliders and muscle/fat morphs went bad. I unwrapped it properly now and optimized the mesh a bit. It should be a little lighter on your game now too. The original used the same mesh for all LODs.
Changes made:
Fixed UV1 misplacement Reduced 11898 poly to 4894 poly Added LODs Resized diffuse texture and added recolors Added specular mask

could you take a look at awingedllama's functional wall phone? they've been gone for almost a full year. it's okay if you can't tho ty anyway!

Oh I have that one installed and been picking it apart for a while now. I narrowed the issue down to some maybe?-outdated tuning but figuring out just what exactly broke here is going to take a lot of trial and error on my part. It never really tells you why it's not working, just that it is (or is not). Interaction tuning is fragile, especially completely if it's custom. I'm guessing lot units have something to do with it though.
tl;dr found the problem spot, no idea what to do with it yet.
I've started to work on the files you've sent me now and I'll put up a post to track my progress (and let you see how your files are doing) in a bit. I just have to figure out how to format this without it becoming too cluttered.
There will also be a blacklist for certain creators and I know Cowbuild will make it to the top spot. Please, that bed has 151100 polygons. I can't even test why it's not working. Have mercy on me!
