My First Attempt At Making CC

Good morning world and all who inhabit it!
Alright, so I've decided to try my hand at modeling. Blender is a lot harder to navigate than other programs that I've used before, such as good old Paint 3D.
My original goal was to make a chicken head...hat...thing. But, I struggled with Blender for a while and decided to settle for the horrific masterpiece which I have dubbed Freak Head.
After about ten tries, I was able to upload a working-ish mesh to Sims4Studio. The texture, though, is causing me a whole load of problems.
In spoiler tags because it's ugly. So very ugly.
I don't know how to fix it and honestly I'm not sure if I want to lol. It just seems to add to the chaos. Then again, if I want to make that chicken head, I'm going to have to figure out why the texture is weird.
Anyway, yeah that's my CC attempt. Hopefully it doesn't give anyone nightmares xD

Here's how it looks in Sims4Studio. The texture applies to the whole body instead of just the hat/head/thing. When I tried erasing the part of the texture that applied to the body, the head was missing parts.
Here's how it looks in CAS when I put clothes on the Sim.

I wouldn't know where to start making cc.

TS4 UV Maps look like this:
So if you only want the texture on the face/head, your texture can only be in that area
Here's a better view so it's easier to understand where to place your texture
I tried erasing the areas that are labeled "top", "bottom", and "shoes", but then parts of Freak Head were missing the correct texture and instead used the texture of the model's body. If that makes sense. I'm not too good at describing things.
In Blender your new head mesh UV (or whatever you cloned, I cloned the Head), must be placed in the exact same position as the original.
So if your Mesh is below or above that area, it will take on the texture of whatever is in those areas.

Why fix it?!
This is pure class! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Have fun and please share images of your new CC! Would love to see them!
I'm a build/buy creator mostly and just recently started attempting to recolor some EA clothing meshes. To me they are a lot harder to do because the textures highlights, shadows, seams are mostly "drawn on", unlike BB CC which you can bake shadow maps in blender to help with shadows/highlights and depth. For objects I will actually mesh my details on it so I don't have to try and have a steady hand to hand draw the details. I'm still trying to master the pen tool in photoshop for clothing seams and details.
Here's WIP of my first CAS recolor (it's the dress from DHD in some funky retro 70's patterns I had).
Evidently I'm even more of an amateur than I thought because I don't know what a UV map is :v
I'm going to take a look as soon as I can.
Hey! I have no idea what it stands for either. I'm impressed you went to Blender.
I looked at it, but haven't done anything yet.
Your "stupid" head is hilarious!
I respect people like you who are not afraid to try.
Cheers!
@Chicklet453681 I was actually looking for "Adult", T-YA-A-E, not "child".
But thanks anyways.
Thank you! 😅
Yeah lol my initial thought was "okay, that's not so bad", but the second one looks like someone stuck some paper mache on it.
Thanks, I hope so too!
I will, thank you! 😁
I've uploaded both Male and Female ADULT UV Maps to my SimsFileShare folder.
Hope this helps!

This is excellent. Been playing around with it not really knowing exactly where things are cut off or whatever. (I suppose this would help with clipping meshes in blender too.)
Figures that the head/face is the biggest area. Most detailed.
I also may have a written tutorial from Sim_Man123 at TSR for beginning meshing but it uses TSRW and not S4S so a few of the steps are different, the actual meshing/uv unwrapping would be the same but how you texture and get it into the game is different since they're different programs.
If you have skype and a headset I can share my screen so you can see what needs done.
Well, it took a few months of trying to make other things and failing to learn from tutorials, but I finally fixed my glorious Freak Head. Mostly anyway.
Now the texture is only in the head space area.
Ah, victory smells like pomegranate tea and scrambled eggs. There is a seam, but I don't mind it too terribly much. I'm excited because maybe it will be easier to make that chicken head finally?
That is all. 👋
That's just...freaky.
