Hi there!
I am working on some recolor I really like and some friends of mine asked me to share it. So i Though I can open a website or something to share works I made but almost every creator I found allow recoloring without sharing their mesh.
When I recolor I just add one more swatch to their content so I might doing it wrong. So how I can upload only my recolor respecting creators policy?
Thanks <3

When you want to recolor an object, you should not just open it in Studio and add your image to it. You have to place the object in your documents/sims4studios/mods folder. Make sure S4Studio is not open. When you have placed the object mesh in the above folder, start S4Studio and and under objects, choose standalone recolor. When the object mesh page opens, search for the mesh you want to recover,click next, then give it a name and save. After some seconds, the object will open in the 3d mesh screen. Do your recolors and save. Now if you want to share this recipe without the original mesh, post your replies for download, but you must include the link to the original mesh so that those downloading your recolor can also download the mesh for the recolor to work.

Hi lasusina, as AdonisPluto has said, Studio's standalone recolor feature will result in a recolor that requires the original creator's package to be in the mods folder to show up in the game. When you share a recolor like this, it's always good to provide a link back to the original item along with the download. This credits the creator and helps your downloaders find the item they need to make your recolor work  |

Thank you so much guys!! As I need it for CAS I found the other tutorial HEREWhat I don't understand is this part: The easy way to use the Search bar is to know what to type in to find a specific item. To find that you can open the item you want to recolor using the My Projects button. Be sure to return to the main screen and select recolor or create 3D mesh before continuing to make your recolor/mesh from the custom content. Do not do so from the My Projects button or you will overwrite the original. Once the .package is open click the Warehouse tab. For CAS items click on the CAS Parts line and for objects click on the Object Definition line. The creator name will appear on the right hand side as shown in the picture Can I just leave that or it is necessary for recolor to work properly? |

That part is meant as a guide to help you locate the package file you want to work with. I have come to know through practice that I can search for a file when using a CC by another person as a base by two means. The first is by using the example pointed out in the tutorial and the second is by knowing the name used in saving the file. But as long as you can find the package file you want to recolor through the standalone recolor tab, you don't need to worry about that part of the tutorial. That's my personal opinion since I hardly use it. |
