Did you try them in game, or stopped in CAS? Do not know why, but TS3 renders differently in CAS. Some EA exec's bright idea? I have those wolf ears, and they are fine in game. Can't speak for other items, but they're probably fine too.

Yeah I tried it out and the wolf ears and the tail work perfectly fine in live mode. Thanks for the tip!
I'm going to try out the elf ears as well sometime, it's just that doing anything in cas is a pain because smoothness patch and nraas dont work together

As I thought. I learned a while ago that you need to try things in game. Some of the things I make use overlapping UV mapping, and look terrible in CAS, but are fine in game. Again, not sure what goes on with rendering. I've also made a few accessories that look ALL messed up in CAS.

Not everything conflicts between smooth patch and nraas. I have both.

Works for me, except hair, which takes forever. That I have 5 or 6 GB of hair files might also have something to do with it.

I believe I went back to smooth patch 1.0 with master controller module.

Well I removed the .package and replaced the smoothness patch with the 1.0 version but now it just says smoothness patch failed when i launch the game :/

Do you have any ideas about what could be wrong?

Honestly, no idea. I believve it was someone in another thread here on MTS who said the newer smooth patch had some issue. I switched back to 1.0 and my game runs good enough for me, considering how much CC I have crammed in.

did you just drag and drop the 1.0 files into the bin folder or did you reinstall the game or something?

I believe there are a few files that go in Game> Bin, and a couple of packages that are in my Packages folder.
