@SimGuruModSquad I just found out the FTPT resource has changed significantly from TS3. Would you please share the .bt file with us? Thanks in advance.
You can find my S4PE here.

We are however unable to edit the CAS specular RLES (although there has been an initial attempt released recently). The second UV for CAS meshes is also still in need of further documentation. The SimHair shader is high on the list of things that our community really wants that we could use more help with too.
@SimGuruModSquad I would like to second this request. Regardless of whether some proprietary products can deal with a resource or not, I’d find it much preferrable if the information was available to the public, and from a reliable source. Thank you
Plasticbox, if you have a philosophic disagreement with using proprietary products or benefiting from information shared by those that write code for proprietary products, you should know that The Sims 4 is a proprietary product. Any information provided by a Simguru about Sims 4 is information being shared by people who write code for a proprietary product. The .bt format that you are asking it to be delivered in is also a format of a proprietary hex editor. Also, the two operating systems that run the game are both proprietary products.

I used to contribute to that wiki a lot in Sims 3 but it doesn't look like it's being maintained anymore. The front page is one big code error and has been for weeks. I used to contribute to the s4pe wiki on GitHub too but it hasn't been maintained since orangemittens stepped down from updating it when she started working on Sims 4 Studio instead of s4pe. Plasticbox has publicly spoken against Sims 4 Studio on many occasions, apparently because it is a proprietary tool, in spite of the fact that it is a completely non-commercial and free custom content creation tool. I figured that I would let her know that the Sims 4 game is a proprietary product since proprietary code seems to bother her so much.
Like I said above though, if you or any other coder working on a custom content tool for Sims 4 want information on this resource, or even better, would like to collaborate on game resource decoding, let me know
Exactly. I was under the impression that that was the original topic of this thread.
No one copied and pasted anything but official EA data over your posts if you're referring to the s4pe Wiki and it was me that did it there. I think you'll agree that it's better to have official EA code than anything from a hobbyist Sims 4 coder...that's why you're here asking for a .bt in the first place.
Our team works on this for a hobby and we make a custom content creation tool that's fun and easy to use. We generate our own code or use the official .bts when they're available. We aren't working on something for coders or people trying to learn how to code a tool. There really isn't much interest in that anyway. What we're working on is for creators who want to make things for the game. Creators have no interest in writing code for a custom content tool. If someone is interested in that they are welcome to contact us. We're happy to help you if you need it but we aren't going to waste our time posting at some impersonal Wiki to do that. We do this for fun and that isn't fun. And that's enough thread highjacking from me
I agree, and I had translated the BT into the usual Wiki format for the sake of consistency and clarity for people used to that layout. So it WAS the official information.
