Using sims 4 studio, open game file cruiser, extract all these images into a new empty package.

6F87913908A80186
C5A26BD2460BE8EA
D518B5D7A3BBD372
227D5D064CA48F85

Two images will show for each instance make sure to extract both.

Now you just need to work out which image belongs to what you want to edit and what part of that image you want to edit as well, oh and how to make the image the colour you want.

You can do the first part easy by just colouring the whole images any colour for now, start game look at what has changed then delete a image (well 2 that share the same instance numbers) from the package and repeat. Basically your doing a 50/50 with the images.

I don't have photoshop so i can't tell you how to save the images with that but in Gimp you would select B5C / ATI2 (3Dc)

You will need this tool to convert the UI images UI Texture Squasher

C5A26BD2460BE8EA is the one you want to edit, that tool will make the extracted image look like this

The 1st two are obviously the background images of the clothing/items, the 3rd should be the outline.

You thought this would be as easy as editing a few values in a xml file didn't you
