{solved} Need help with likes and dislikes music icons

Hi S4Player ,
The easiest way to find icons in S4S is with the Tools>Generate List>Icons. It creates a .html file you can open in the browser with all icons used by the tuning and their name (as it is referred in the tuning) and instance. You can search by name like you would any other page in the browser.



The search in the game file cruiser is really for the text column, but DST images currently only have the image format in that column and it is slow searching this way because it loads the whole image to get that info and it has to load every image to see which ones have that text. I hope to improve that soon so only the part of the image needed to display the format is loaded unless clicked on.

S4Player what steps did you take / what files did you override? Don't be too afraid of modifying tuning files... things like the speech/thought balloon sets are pretty straight forward to modify. Maybe you can upload your package file somewhere so we can help more.

Hi S4Player - you may just need to override some additional icons. Here are some step by step instructions of one way to handle this:



First, open your package or create a new empty package in Sims 4 Studio.
Then go to the Tools menu and select Extract Tuning. In the Extract Tuning pop-up, type in a keyword you're interested in. In my case, I used "songwriter" since that's one of the music genres.
Select all of them (or at least the headline and preference trait ones), and add them to your package.



Then, take a look at the tuning files you've extracted. Some will have icons listed that you will want to override.
When you find one you want to override, copy the instance number (the last segment) of the icon's reference ID as shown.



Next, open the Game File Cruiser from the Tools menu.
Paste the instance number you copied into the Instance Number search input field in the upper right.
You'll need to click out of the field to see results show on the left.
Once the correct icon shows on the left, click it and add it to your package (with the button in the lower right).

Once you've extracted all of the relevant icons, you can override them (export and re-import new ones) as I assume you did previously.

Remember to delete the tuning files if you're not modifying those, after you're done referencing any icons listed within them, otherwise the package file will be larger than it needs to be (and might conflict with future patches, creating more work for you to maintain).

Good luck - I hope this helps!

S4Player maybe you could try Gimp? I use Photoshop personally, but I know lots of other sim content creators use Gimp and it's free.
