You'll have to look at your system event log to try to find an error message from CAS Tools that might explain it, then if you post those messages here I'll look and see if there's anything I can suggest: https://www.dummies.com/computers/o...-in-windows-10/



Okay, I'll write down what's going on . The screenshots will show. I'm running the program.

I just wanted to say thank you! I saw you included the sorting function in the new version, and I'm really really grateful. I like to have skin and eye swatches ordered so they don't interfere with each other but that was really time consuming when there like 50 swatches or more, haha. Anyway, thank you again! Any possibility to add it to the Skininator tool too? I tried luck and tried to open skin tone packages with this tool just for the sorting function but didn't work (as expected, I guess?). So, if you have time, I hope you consider adding it to Skininator too. Thanks again! It really will be very useful, at least for me.

That's certainly reasonable, and I'll have to do an update to Skininator soon anyway because of game updates. It's on my list!

I'm sorry I took so long to answer. It was not possible. I don't understand your question. I downloaded what you had here. The other is not downloaded.

Download the program again. The new version should run.

Cmar, is there any way to lift the Sims using a big high heel without the need for a slider like the Sims 3?

TS3 let you attach a bone morph to the CASP, but TS4 doesn't. It does let you attach a data resource which at least in theory could link to a morph, but as far as I know no one's been able to do that.

I tried using separate mesh layers but every time I tried to save it to an MS3D file it crashed. Otherwise, amazing tool!

Not bad.

If you could upload the mesh you're trying to separate that would help me with testing.

I'm getting closer and closer to start modding sims 4. I have a lots of stuff from sims 2 which like to convert to sims 4. I'm completely lost but I realized I have to choose this tool instead of trying to learn blender. I have tones of questions but for now, I like to at least thank you for making this tool available. I see you've made a few tutorial for sims3&4 would that help me to convert sims2t4 I wonder.

Hello again, Cmar - I am having another reoccurring issue and I am not exactly sure if the issue lies within something I am doing or something that may need adding to your program? I apologize if this comes off rudely, there is no rude intention - I am trying to be helpful and thought maybe someone else is running into a similar problem?

Whenever I use a long skirt or a long dress (whether I do reassignments with dresses/skirts as a reference geom or don't update the assignments, I get the following result:

CAS, in game, CAStools, sims4studio and blender all show proper/okay meshing:

CAS:


In Game:

different angles

CAS Tools:


S4S:


Blender:


BUT the game generated screenshots, such as the ones for the "family" or the icons show up like this:



So it is more annoying than anything else since it functions, but I was wondering if you knew why it would do this or if there could be a fix for it?

Rise above hate. Love one another. Be kind.

The mesh for the main part of the dress has too many bones - the upper limit is 60. Open the package in CAS Tools, go to the Mesh Fixing Tools tab, click the 'Remove Unused Bones' button, commit, save, test. That fixed it in my game.
