Hello all,

I successfully exported the dds files for CAS to recolor them and really need the dds for the Stylist too, but I cannot find them anywhere

Who can help me find the path?


I also wonder where the plumbot change trait chip background is, not in the delta or fullbuild0.

Thanks in advance

If you deep clone CASRoomStylist in S3OC you will get the textures in the package.

The other one I'm less sure because I don't have ITF on my system right now, but a lot of expansion content is found in the FullBuild from their install locations as well The file under The Sims 3 Into the Future > Game Data > Shared > Packages may have what you're looking for. Could also be in the UI.package.

Thanks CardinalSims,
how do I "deep clone" CASRoomStylist in S3OC? OOHHH, yes - thanks for the name of it, I got it now using the Search.
Great

I have searched the full and deltabuilds for the background, well and could not find it....
If I would know the correct name I maybe find it via S3soc too, cross fingers.

When you click Clone, there will be an option for 'Deep Clone' to tick that will make sure absolutely everything referenced is included. Also make sure to untick 'Renumber' so that you get the original files instead of standalone ones. Then you can just export the parts you want

There are 3 LAYO with TraitChip in the name, maybe one of them has the resource key for the background?

thanks, yeah, as I said, I figured it out with the deep clone.

I think I mixed the Plumbot thing, I meant the CAS Plumbot bg which is also the same for stylist.

EDIT: Well it was there too The recoloring wasn't good, so now I have made it

I have even found the table row color setttings so maybe I can finish my first UI Recolor + CAS, Stylist and Loading Screen soon.

One way to do CAS room, is to download one that is already done, and replace textures with yours. https://modthesims.info/browse/ts3/?f=151 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4nONzC_qN4

Despite my work with Plumbots, I have never thought about changing the screen, and do not know where the textures are, and have not seen replacements for that.

I don't want to replace from other creators, I know how to replace elements, there is good video tutorial, but as my main project is a UI recolor - I only need to adjust the CAS and Stylist - yes and plumbot to fit better, asseperat packages, so later users can also use any other replacemnet, but for the Stylist room there are no color replacements only for cas.

Stay tune, I will publish soon, first will be brown-style (which can also be used for medieval settings) and after I plan some other colors too. Mine will not be extremely oversaturated, more smooth

Edit: Unfortunately I can not do any 3d milkshake mesh work, otherwise I would have deleted most elements from Cas and Stylist, a simple "empty" room would be also nice, without sofa, courtains and stuff - only the mirror would do in the room (and the window) or the stylist station.
If someone could do this, it would be great too

I looked into the CAS mesh a while back for someone who asked about it and it is quite the beast- CAS, Create a Pet, and Create a Plumbot MLOD is one mesh with geostates for switching between them. The MODL has about 18 mesh groups with more simplified states. Not entirely sure which one the game uses- maybe both between different graphics settings, as I can't imagine why else CAS would need a LOD. Not surprised there isn't an existing edit for it, considering there wasn't documentation on geostates till I wrote some

Not impossible to change, the most tedious part would be separating the three different rooms. Then I think it would be simple enough to keep them separate and use spoof geostates instead.
I will look into it and send you the file if I can empty the room without issues.

That would be cool, and interesting how this would look. I already managed to recolor all of them (not Pets, I only exchanged the distant view out of the stable .
I don't use the modle files, only the dds files so this gives no issues.

Finding specific game files can be tricky. Check game directories, and modding communities, use modding tools, and refer to game documentation. Changes in updates can affect file locations.
