Hi @SimGuruTwoLegs, thank you for this patch and the link to more information. Is there any reason for us to add a batch-fix to Sims 4 Studio that will remove bones that correspond to deco slots past the 180 limit? Going forward, should we stop adding a corresponding bone to deco slots? Our main goal throughout the cycle…
Yes, the probable bone limit for Sim rigs was discussed at Studio HERE last year. However, that discussion was strictly about Sim rigs, not object rigs. The statement by SimGuruTwoLegs above is the first time I've ever heard EA indicate that any such limit existed for objects. Again, if we had known about this, say about…
Thanks for responding @SimGuruTwoLegs. It's a bit of a surprise to discover this rig bone limit five years into the game. It's even more surprising to hear that slotted items were causing the game to crash before this patch as no one reported anything like that to us. We typically hear pretty quickly if something is going…
Sims 4 Studio is updated for Discover University (Mac and Windows versions). This version also has a batch fix for CC showers that won't place. This will also allow shower woohoo in CC showers that don't have custom tuning that isn't updated to allow shower woohoo. Download the newest version HERE The Sims Teleporter is…
Studio can add a feature that goes through and sequesters items with more than the arbitrary number of slots dictated by the game. However, if EA is going to fix the problem promptly, this step would be a waste of time. Judging by the very large number of posts and PMs about this problem at Studio forums, there are a lot…
We cannot batch fix this very well while sticking to EA's convention of a bone for every slot, because we can't make a batch fix that "knows" which slots the creator would most like to retain and which they're willing to give up. For example, a batch fix solution would leave many bookcases with one shelf with slots and no…
Thank you for editing the post. I think that should help people who don't know what top bit means. I hope you are also aware that a lot of people don't necessarily want to look for game information on Twitter - do you look there for info on all the products you buy?. Why have an official forum if you aren't using it to…
Sorry for the double post, but please note, people in the community are now telling one another that according to SimGuruGraham, going forward, everyone in the community should use the "new" convention (all zeros instead of starting with eight). That post is causing a lot of confusion, and I recommend that EA's position be…
If we were talking only about individual modders, I would agree with you. The amount of content affected would be low, and most modders (the post in this thread indicating not all modders, unfortunately) are aware enough of what they're doing to later back out any short term fix. However, we're talking about everyone in…
Excellent. I don't think it's a good idea to advise impatient creators to use a temporary workaround that does not conform with the way EA wants people to do things in the long term (as the rep did in the linked post). Some creators will go with the temporary workaround and never update to the preferred long term format.…
This issue is not just affecting mods. As EA instructed in their TS4 Custom Content Guide "Resource Key Best Practices," most CC is made using the 0x80000000 group number. At this point, almost all CC anyone has in their game is showing a debug catalog entry. We're hoping you will fix this problem on your end. :)
Hi Zasz, if you PM me with your email address, I can check to make sure the email was sent. Usually, when someone reports an issue with the activation email, the problem is that the email is somewhere in their spam folder or was blocked by their email provider. The previously reported CAPTCHA issue should be resolved at…
The AOM wrench hider mods are updated, and a new hider choice has been added. Download HERE. Sorry if this isn't the right thread to post in - I'm not sure where non-gameplay mod updates should go.
I asked about the CC hair issue in the tech forum here, and SimGuruModSquad said they will take a look. I think if it's possible, they will do their best to fix the problem on their end. There are reports that company reps have stated this on their Twitter as well. As the Studio batch fix is a workaround rather than an…
The following mods have been updated for compatibility with the patch: Pose Player, Teleport any Sim, Studio Effect Player, S4S Accessories (umbrella enabler) and Crafting Enabler by Andrew. Playable Pets Mod by AOM.
Studio's extract tuning was not broken by the patch. The problem is that the feature needs optimization. When indexing thousands of tuning files the lack of optimization becomes obvious as Studio crashes. However, when you reopen Studio and click extract tuning again, it should run. Optimizing this feature is on the list…
I've found that alpha hairs (simglass shader) and EA-style hairs with custom swatches will not change colors in CAS if they are not enabled for random. I ran Studio's "Allow for random" on my CC hair folder, and with one exception all the hairs now switch swatches in CAS. I'm still looking into why the batch fix did not…
Sims 4 Studio (Windows and Mac versions) is updated for Seasons. Both versions include a batch fix that will apply hot and cold tags to items that are consistently tagged by EA a certain way (e.g., all EA hairs are tagged with both, so the batch fix will apply both tags to all CC hair.packages). There is a post HERE that…
Studio (Wishes) just updated with a batch-fix for objects that won't place correctly. Find it HERE. The Mac version (Candy) was in the middle of an overhaul to optimize and fix some bugs, and it is completely unready for release atm. Its update will be completed as soon as possible, and it will contain the same batch-fix…
Sims 4 Studio updated to add batch-fixers for CAS items that become distorted on larger Sims, outdoor benches (2 and 3 seaters), and 6-seat dining tables. The sofa/loveseat batch fix has been updated to batch-fix at least some of the sofas and loveseats that were resistant to the previous batch-fixer. Both the Windows…
Hi LyricSimsz15, you can use the same email. Please make sure your service provider allows certain types of email. The only time before this I know of that the person did not receive the email the forum sent, was when their service provider was blocking some messages sent to them. If you continue to have issues, please…
