Oh wow, thank you so much!! I had asked around in a lot of different places and people just told me to regenerate my thumbnails Thank you so much for your help again and I apologize if this was an obvious issue!

Rise above hate. Love one another. Be kind.

I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about this. I fixed it some time ago - don't even remember what the problem was.

I'm still working on a new version, but here's a version that will do the layers for you. (Everything is working afaik, but I'm still adding Collada DAE support to a couple of functions.)

Is it normal to clone a CC package and then the custom thumbnails disappear?

Yes - the thumbnails are not cloned, on the assumption they'll have to be replaced anyway.

Is there any chance you could give us the option to clone the thumbnails in a future update? Just a little toggle in the corner somewhere for us to click on if we want thumbnails. I want to put my skin details in multiple categories for layering purposes and I'd like the thumbnails to stay the same.

Collada export takes a long time. If it doesn't finish after an hour, please upload your package so I can take a look.

If you want to export to a simgeom, change the view to meshpart and select simgeom as the export format.

Hello

I have a problem and I hope you can help me. When I want to change the category of some custom eyes, it won't work for witchs and mermaids.

For example, vampire eyes should only appear for them. It will work perfectly with humans and aliens, the eyes will not appear in the CAS for them. But they will always appear for mermaids and witchs. I think this is normal for sirens as it lacks the Disable for sirens, but shouldn't that work with witchs ?

I'm not sure what you mean by sirens. Mermaids? The disable occult fields seem to work fine for making eyes not appear for mermaids in mermaid form and for witches (which are called Spellcasters). They still appear for mermaids in mermaid form.

Please upload or link to the custom eyes package you're having trouble with.

Thank you for answering me.

I certainly do not have the same thing. Mermaids is absent from the choices.

You're right, I corrected that bug some time ago but neglected to upload it. Version 3.2.1 is uploaded, and thanks for reporting the problem!

I can't tell anything from that. Please upload a screenshot so I can see what conversion you're trying to do, and upload the mesh you're trying to convert along with the reference mesh if any.

Hi! I love the tools, especially all the conversion options, SO useful. I did notice something: when I use Clone CC package, the tool clone one copy of the normal map/and the specular per swatch, which of course makes the new clone a bit bloated - no problem to delete the normal maps manually, but maybe something that could be fixed in a future update?

Hello, I am so excited about this software. Thank you so much for your time in making it!

I am having issues, I have been trying to make female clothes accessible for males. On almost every item I am getting this error when trying to commit changes:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Index was outside the bounds of the array.

When I click continue and then try to save I am getting:

You have unsaved General Properties changes Continue anyway?

And the items are not showing up for Males in game.

I'm only changing male to female, so not sure what I could be doing wrong, if anyone does know I would really appreciate the help.

Again, thank you so much for this!

I need to know exactly what you did - what did you clone or what package did you open and what did you change?

Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate this.

One of the items is: https://www.thesimsresource.com/dow...tum/id/1451589/

I have tried only selecting the male checkbox, and unchecking the female.

Also I have tried doing that as well as changing the gender appropriate drop down to male.

I have also tried unchecking disable for opposite gender & frame.

Thank you again!
