SIMS 4 SHINY TEXTURES

[Mortimer444]

Hi when I look at my female Sim closet see some of underwear,swimwear and clothes have shiny and spoty. I deleted some CC stuff but still some of them are same also load again and switch them to older one result is same shiny and spoty. Is there any solution ?

 

besides one of my Sim home nearly all the time disappear and alwys need to refresh from gallery what can I do ?

 

I used zerbu copy worlds mod so I duplicate many Newcrest and other lots so have many lots,households and places. When my Sims is one of the lots which duplicate from Newcrest go to work time Sim go to work but loading screen never ends can't go on the game. Any suggestions ?

 

Lastly I can't see pay bills icon any suggestions ?

 

Thanks

First of all, Copy Worlds is a highly experimental mod and AFAIK, the current version (while still working with the current game version) has not been updated in a bit. Some quirks related to copied worlds have always been present (such as enviromental objects disappearing during copying or the world screen showing houses from the original world on empty lots in the copied one) and maybe these have gotten worse recently. For any problems related to those copied worlds, I would suggest starting an entirely new save (or using one where there are no copied worlds) and testing if you can reproduce those problems with that other save (disappeareances and no bills in particular, the one about going to work could also have other issues like a broken workplace lot).

If the other save suffers from the same problems, there may be something wrong with your mod setup, requiring further investigation.

If everything runs fine with the other save, the issue is likely related to the copied worlds, which will unfortunately mean that it's time to give up on that particular save, save your Sims and lots to the gallery and start one or more new saves where you can place them into the available worlds (and of course refrain from copying worlds, as that will probably reproduce the issue).

 

For the CAS items showing shiny spots and/or other texture errors, make sure that your Sim is completely naked (no makeup, no jewelry, no body details, nothing) and then select those items again one by one.

If the issue persists, it's a bigger problem and unless you or someone else around here can think of a cause, you'll be finding yourself 50/50ing through your Mods folder.

If the issue is gone, you'll know that you have some other CAS item causing it. Just revert all your changes until you see those shiny spots again and then go through all the CAS categories to see all the parts of your Sim's outfit and remove them one by one (remember to add them again before moving on to the next one) until you find the culprit.

Thanks for the info I think when I increased world number more than 10 these kind of bugs appeared. One of my save still many worlds but havent seen any problem I will check again for arranging how many worlds need to be copy for not facing any bugs. You know I have to make game colorful many residentals and community are avaialble and dlc have very small empty area. This time when I loaded photography studio  many missing parts available and  there is a orange warning signal on top of the lot so deleted them wish copy worlds become really trustable mod because according to me it is necessary.

 

I deleted many community lots but still have many. When I placed my households all of their funds are too low for the house so first I delete house placed my sims than placed house on that lot. but still on build mod see residental as nightclub so changed it just Personal Video Station cause lots of trouble so I transfer it to the Magnolia world.

 

Some of the items are shiny and they werent shiny before maybe copying lots of worlds effect them. How can I know which items belongs to CAS because not everything show CAS or CC ? Is the only way make 50/50 ?  Are you using Sim studio is it helpful ? Some of hte clothes and accesories are really nice  need to save them

While placing a household into a world, simply bring up the in-game command console (Ctrl+Shift+C on Win) and enter freerealestate on to allow your Sims to move into any home they want, regardless of their funds. You can also give your SIms additional money while playing by opening the console and entering either rosebud (+1000) or motherlode (+50000).

Not sure if this could be caused by world copying, but if items can become "shiny" seemingly at random, my guess would be that there is a bigger issue. From my experience, 50/50 testing is the most effective way of dealing with such troubles, although it can take a bit of work, depending on how well-organized your Mods folder is.

Sims 4 Studio might be helpful for checking out individual CC files to see if they are broken (the Studio tab renders a preview of whatever clothing or furniture you have loaded, unless the .package file has a more complicated internal structure). If you want to familiarize yourself with S4S, then by all means go ahead, but in my opinion, it's not something that's necessary to deal with your "shiny stuff" problem.

As for identifiying CC in-game, if you enter CAS (Create-a-Sim) to edit your Sims, all custom items will have a little wrench symbol on their thumbnail, so when you go through that list on the right, you can easily tell that they are not part of the game itself, but loaded from your Mods folder. Same goes for objects Build mode, by the way.

And regarding "saving" those CAS items: I highly doubt that they are all broken (unless they are all terribly old, in which case you might want to look into S4S and its batch fixes), it's probably just one or two mods that don't play nice with all the others. The only difficulty is identifying them.

Thank you so much. I organized mod folder well some of the clothes are shiny and I know some of them but they are really nice and all of them are female clothes. I haven't seen anything on male clothes.I wonder why ? Actually I loaded many Sims from here some of their folders named as CC but when I enter the clothes haven't seen any CAS or CC except one I will erased sthe main clothes which have CAS . I am gonna see.

 

50/50 method have lot of work as you written but it is the effective way. My accesorie folder also have cas but removed them still there are some left I think.

 

Copying worlds according to me essential but too many of them ruined the game because escipially Willow Creek big park and Stream Single always disappear probably becouse of number of lots.I also copy Del Sol Valley probably for this one of my Sims from Wildenburg just see Bills but never see Paying Bills option.

 

I dont understand why copying worlds mod that is necessary still stay at experimental level and why EA don't publish empty lots. Many residentals many community mod buil but just few space available. I think many players want to make game nice and more playable with more lots.
