hi User! Make sure you go to the texture tab in s4s and upload your new texture! (if that's not the issue please let me know and I'll read your message again!) x

It is! but the more of these you do the faster you'll get x Creating something is always complicated but you've got to stick it out! You've got this xx

Happy to help! xx

Thanks Ivory xx If I can sit down and work out how yes! But I feel like that one is very complicate so if i were to look into it properly i wouldn't be able to make another tutorial for several months to a year xx

ty! xx

Ok i think i found it out but when i try to merge both packages it says it 1/2 packages failed to merge. The one that i saved from s4pe is the one failing.

Just the way we like it! xx

To add a shader, 1. select your mesh (LMB) 2.Right mouse button Hold, 3.near the bottom of the menu that pops up, go to "add shader" (or something similar not currently looking at my maya this second!) x After doing that that window will pop up! x

Hi Evan! Sometimes the sims 4 updates and gamepacks can break these things sadly (I haven't bought a new pack for the sims in 5 years so I'm nto sure if one of those could be causing an issue) BUT till then we can Troubleshoot!

@@PixifiedTips my main issue is that when importing the shaadows, once i put them together the mesh doesnt change and look like its eaten, it stays the same

hi cheris! we did that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ7blImnhpyMb7c But do you mean without having to label it in game?

yes it does! xx

Hi Kure! It seem I omitted that part based on an incorrect assumption! (I'll re do this video) The outdated video I created shows how to pop your image in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGGQq3ZqeZZmnKssi=6K9tJrohGIewtVm2&t=200 However as a rule of thumb, in s4s, with the default obj your using, export it's texture place the texture of your thing on it (that way you know the size won't be a problem for the game usually) make sure the uv of your object matches the new placement for your texture: on an easy way to move uv / resize textures in blender I've made this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-TYZifmdelnqc

hi Cherish! Hmm, first few thoughts off the bat; 1. are the object tuning ID's different? 2. have you reused ANY of the ID's for multiple objects if you have multiple mods that are using the same instance, definition, string name (that's the text) that'll wreck havoc also when doing the name make sure you don't overwrite the 0x part your new numbers must go after it. once you've done that you can go to tools, modding, copy strings to all or something like that just incase your game isn't in english x

hi Cherish! Yes it should all be the same xx

Hi Kay! No such thing as a dumb question, you either know something or you don't so always feel free to ask x Hmm when it comes to your own you can at least look for them by name in the search bar, If you know the name of the deco sims you've downloaded you can either type their name in too OR in the buy mode, on the far right toggle custom content on, and (unfortunetly) you'll have to scroll down till you see them!

I use, blender 2.79b

Hi Holly! Hmmmmmmmmm, it should be the exact same way. go to case, make a family with an infant in it, save them to gallery, then they'll show up in the step 1 portion of the vid! x

hi ink! yes! So to join any mesh to another mesh, shift select 1 mesh, then shift select another (both will be higlight) then you can press ctrl + j It won't work it; 1.a mesh is hidden/visibility is off "i.e. the eye on the right is closed"

😅

Happy to help! xx

Hi Tink3rbella! I'll add it to the list x

Hi sims4! Yes! They're in the description, which has a series of files and links for you! but here's a link = to help x luniversims.fr/files/file/649-visionneuse-dimage-pour-fichiers-packages/

It's always good to have it here as well because in short videos, it's not possible to slow them down, and I can only watch and understand them slowly since I'm from another country.

Hi Lovely! I tried that before but I'm not sure it really took, I feel like it'd be an accompaniment to a bigger video, but the feedback is always helpful so thank you ! xx

That's useful to know as well! Thank you for your feedback Marii x

Hi Cora! That's a case by case basis so when you go to dl cc usually the artist will leave a note whether they'd prefer you not to x hmm default skins to non default... I do not! I'll add it to the list x

@@PixifiedTips Thank you

Happy it helped! x

Hi Orange! You know I think I saw something somewhere talking about how to do that! I shall look into it xx (p.s. thank you fo ryour kind workds :D) x

hi Cameron! YES, the only reason why I may not use newer blenders in the vids is because s4s doesn't support it. so work in the programs you're comfortable in then open them in the blender s4s will accept to import them x i do that with maya > blender x

hi there! this may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYKmhIN3rdKGh6s

To edit al images into a moving format I use after effects, but any program that can process an image sequence will work!

Hi Z0! this video is do an update! I shall be making a memberfree long form of the most requested ones soon: 1.cc accessories 2.cc objects

Doesn't work for me as well!

​@@goudisbi oh dear! Sounds like a step may have been missed (or an update / game pack may be doing something..) Reglardless let's break it down! 1. Did you remove all other mods to check nothing is interering? 1a. did you download the Pixified tips template package? 2. did you export image? 3. did you repolace image? 4.did you re import your image? 5. did you save the package? 6. did you make sure the package was in your mods folder?

¡Oh querido! Parece que es posible que se haya omitido un paso (o que una actualización/paquete de juego pueda estar haciendo algo...) ¡Sin reglas, analicémoslo! 1. ¿Eliminaste todas las demás modificaciones para comprobar que nada interese? 1a. ¿Descargaste el paquete de plantillas de consejos de Pixified? 2. ¿Exportaste la imagen? 3. ¿Repolaviste la imagen? 4.¿Volviste a importar tu imagen? 5. ¿guardaste el paquete? 6. ¿Te aseguraste de que el paquete estuviera en tu carpeta de mods?

Hi Plub! Yes! x

*in regular pitched voice* "yes"...
