Hi! I tested your file and it shows up in my game in buy catalogue but it doesn't show up when I try to place it on a wall. The problem is that your diffuse texture size is incorrect. You've got 238x250px while the dimentions of your texture need to be a power of 2 (e.g. 256x256px, 1024x2048px etc.)

I'm having an issue where my texture is just black. I've tried every baked item, and it's still staying black in The Sims 4 Studio. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?

I opened the mesh in blender and the uv is not unwrapped. Could you have imported the wrong mesh in s4s?

Your mesh must be completely done, then you unwrap it

Did you bake new textures to fit the new uv map?

For some reason the mesh still appears not unwraped in blender. And you need to have only one uv map for build/buy objects

Is it possible you're combining meshes that were different formats? (ie. an .obj, something new made in Blender, etc being combined with a TS4 mesh)
Blender will only combine UVs that have the same name, but different formats will often use different names- meaning they wont be combined and one will be lost.
Make sure to check in Object Data before joining any meshes with existing UV that they're all called uv_0 when working with TS4 objects- or unwrap everything last, when all joins are done.
