The CASP resource is the 'core' of a CASPart file - it tells the game where to look for meshes, textures, morphs, and everything else. If you see more resources, that's fine - just find the CASP resource with the same name as the mesh (you can see the mesh name in CTU, above the instance). For the socks, these are a CASP resource and an _XML resource. When it's done, you should see only a handful of resources left. Again, it may take S3PE a little while to sort through everything - just be patient. Click Set - this should copy the Instance from the box to the one underneath it.Д¤. Copy and paste the Instance ID from CTU into the Instance box, and tick the checkbox beside it. These will allow us to filter what S3PE shows us, so we can find the resource we need much more quickly than otherwise. At the bottom of the S3PE window, you should see a variety of boxes and buttons. This is where the Instance ID from CTU comes in handy.ДЈ. Once S3PE has finished loading, you'll see a huge list of resources. It will probably take a while to load, and S3PE may look like it's crashed - just be patient FullBuild0 is a big file. If you accidentally change something in S3PE, as unlikely as that is, you will need to restore the backup copy of FullBuild0.package. Make a backup copy of FullBuild0.package. FullBuild0.package is the one we're interested in.

Navigate to your Sims 3 install directory, and open GameData/Shared/Packages. Once you've found your item, take note of the Instance ID - we'll need this shortly.Дў. For this example, I am using afAccessoryStockings_cottonKneeHigh. Open CTU, and find the item you want to replace. If you're totally new to CTU, then I suggest you check out the CAS beginner tutorials.ДЎ.

This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of how to use CTU already. This is not a tutorial on creating clothing, accessories, or anything else.

However, it's quite simple (although maybe not always easy) to work around this, and obviously the ability to create default replacements unlocks a lot of options in modding.ДЇor the purposes of this example, I am going to replace the mask of the EA kneehigh socks for women, to give them three channels (one for each sock plus one for the cuffs) rather than two (one for both socks and one for both cuffs). Liv Joelle, Leo and Dominic Ira Zaid pictures and info behind the cut! Images depicting genitalia are hidden behind additional text links.Natively - that is, on its own - CTU doesn't support the creation of default replacement items.Models -В I wanted to feature some of my favorite sims from other creators: All screenshots were taken with this replacement installed.

Just like You Are Real, this should enhance the appearance of all skins that do not include custom specular maps.В Ultimately, specular changes are subtle, and the difference is better captured in motion than in a single image. Scalps, faces and bodies are all included to ensure seamless shine. PrimerвЂ™s texture has been mixed with EAвЂ™s maps and details have been adapted from BuhudainвЂ™s normal maps. HD Specular Default Replacement (1K Faces & 2K Bodies) The elder bodies are not included in the default versions.ДOWNLOAD NON-DEFAULT: Simfileshare | MediafireДOWNLOAD NON-DEFAULT : Simfileshare | MediafireДOWNLOAD DEFAULT: Simfileshare | Mediafire I am sharing this in a variety of resolutions so you can pick the quality level appropriate for your game - the non-defaults will not conflict, and the ramps are labeled with the quality level so you can easily compare. This is a brand new skin, but should suit sims made with Starfruit, as I try to keep my face textures neutral enough to work with a wide variety of features. ItвЂ™s still not perfect, but if I donвЂ™t share this now, I never will. Everything, from the ears to the fingernails and genitals, has been meticulously painted and tweaked to the best of my ability. This will be my new вЂњbaseвЂќ texture going forward. This is the skin I have been wanting to make since I started creating. PRIMER: HD Skin for All Ages (Baby-Elder)
