Hello.

I'm new when it comes to creating/modifying Sims 4 content but I decided to give it a try. For my first attempt, I wanted to see if I could successfully modify some CC hair that I had downloaded. Simply for learning purposes (not to be posted online). I was able to export from S4S and modify in Blender but I can't import my new mesh! I didn't do anything besides use sculpt mode to shorten the hair.

Here is the original exported mesh: www.mediafire.com/download/ef7cy2hfavvcat6/Original_Mesh.blend

And here's my modified mesh: www.mediafire.com/download/09oyrqd24ddahbx/New_Mesh.blend

If anyone could take a look at the files and tell me what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Maybe I accidentally changed something I shouldn't have?

What is happening when you try?

Hi, I should have been more specific. I'm trying to import my edited blend file by hitting "import mesh" under the "meshes" tab but when I do, the original hair mesh does not change (mine doesn't show up).

I made new blend files, but even my second edited mesh won't upload! I made sure not to change any of the values from the original mesh. I simply shortened the hair in sculpt mode.

Here are the new files:

www.mediafire.com/download/x3ras28hda8j6bb/New_Mesh_2.blend

www.mediafire.com/download/frienda629bgshtyoa/Original_Mesh_2.blend

Thanks for responding!

It has happened to me before and that was because there was no alpha channel in the texture. Make sure it is dxt5 and make sure it is using .dds extension. Create an alpha channel in any 2d program if you haven't. It might not be the solution but give it a try.

Nothing cuter than this :Pikachu

Elegant Lily , I tried what you suggested. It didn't work, but at least I now know how to make alpha channels for my own original creations! Thanks for your help.

orangemittens , here's the .package file: www.mediafire.com/download/ohh22xzor8xfn15/Original_Mesh.package

It took awhile because the mesh is high poly but it imported just fine for me. Are you sure you're giving it enough time to finish the import?

Also, images and alpha channels have nothing to do with importing a mesh and I do not recommend using .dds images for Sims 4 images generally speaking. Using .png is much easier and frequently results in a better-looking image result as well.

Let me try to import it once more. I'll get back to you. Thanks!

I've been waiting for about 20-25 minutes and the mesh doesn't seem to have changed. How long did it take for S4S to import the mesh on your end?

I got my old laptop running and installed S4S on it. I was previously trying to run S4S through Parallels on my Mac. I guess that that was the issue. Thanks for your help!
