The original package is a mix of EA default replacements and 3 custom colors. You must have used the 'texture only' option, which gave you a set of default replacements of the textures and those 3 custom colors. Only the custom colors have a CASP and show up in S4S (and in CAS with a wrench icon) but in the Warehouse tab you can see the list of 'LRLE' textures. You get an error in S4S because this tool was made before the LRLE image format was cracked and gets around EA's conversion to LRLE by labelling RLE2 images as LRLE, which S4S can't handle. If you really want to work with those three colors, use CAS Tools.

This tool is outdated now, and I'll make a new version that does a real conversion to LRLE when I get to it.

I didn't see your problem of colors changing themselves. Please explain step by step what you did in CAS and the game that resulted in that error.
so when I usually go into cas I randomize my sims and there eye color usually changes but they only change to those 3 colors at the end. Then when I select another color and save the sims there eye color change again

Randomization, changing an existing sim in CAS and going back to the game, and saving and then loading a household in CAS work fine in my game with the eye color saved correctly, so I can't help. Maybe there's another mod causing your problems.

Please do not PM me with mod, tutorial, or general modding questions or problems; post them in the thread for the mod or tutorial or post them in the appropriate forum.

Ok so what should i do when trying to fix them because now the last 3 are showing up and the other colors are the regular EA eyes.

The other colors were the replacements and everything seemed to work fine in my game. Did you change something? If you want to upload your package again I'll take a look.

What do you mean which one? You attached the original package. If that's what you're using in your game, the replacements will not show up. You should be using the fixed version. I explained that the fixed version works fine in my game when I saved a sim. If you're still having problems with it you can try fixing it with the 'With CASPs" option. If that doesn't help, maybe another mod is causing the problems or something's wrong with your game; I really don't know. Or do you mean you're trying to fix them some other way?

If you need more help, please upload the package you're actually using in your game and a complete description of what's not working. If the colors aren't saving or whatever, please describe EXACTLY what you did step by step in case you're doing something I didn't test.

Please do not PM me with mod, tutorial, or general modding questions or problems; post them in the thread for the mod or tutorial or post them in the appropriate forum.

Hello! I hope everyone is well. I have not played TS4 in a very looong time. Please, is it still necessary to have DR eyes fixed? And if so, is it ok to use this tool with patch 1.75+?
Thank you!

As of April 2022, this didn't work for me. I've run the program properly to my knowledge and when I go in-game my defaults aren't replaced. No matter what eyes I use my defaults don't get replaced.

Please upload the defaults package you're trying to fix and say what options you're using when you use the program.

thanks for the reply. it turned out to be Luumia's Eye Shine remover that was causing the issue. Taking that out fixed it.

Will this be updated to fix the default eyes for the infant update?

Defaults that were working before just need to have the infant age enabled, which can be done in CAS Tools or S4S once they're updated. This tool is very outdated, so I may update it anyway when I get to it.

Apparently a recent update broke default replacements for Aliens and cc skins for aliens. Would you please be able to make an update for the program? Thank you!

This fixer now throws an exception saying '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. Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" - when I click continue it just shuts down without fixing the default eyes - is this fixer no longer necessary or does it need to be updated?
