Broken CC? Let me fix it for you!

You're so awesome, thanks! <3

@budewarmin Here you go. Sorry about that. I often only do high/very high LOD because the other LODs are very seldom seen and aren't going to be distracting to me. Though I understand how they might be for someone else.

Hello Emily!

I was wondering if you could look at this item: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/3942670/
Its some horns you converted for kids. I have been using them a lot as I love them, but somehow still didn't notice until now that the low/mid level of detail has another mesh to it. Like instead of the small horns they become big and curly when I zoom out.
Could you pretty please look at it? :) :) :)

@emorrill Okey dokey. Sorry it took me so long. I don't know if this shirt had to be decimated, but it certainly seems like it did because it was a mess. Not the backface culling, that's perfectly normal, but there were random sharp edges around the neckline that made selecting entire edges annoyingly difficult. So I opted instead to just duplicate, resize, and flip the normals of parts of the mesh I found the backface culling to be most noticeable. There are still some triangles flipped at random on the inner back collar that are being culled making little triangular holes in the mesh, but they are mostly hidden by the sim neck and hair, so I didn't touch those. :lol:

This means a higher poly count. 21k vs 27k (with morphs. if you're curious, the mesh without morphs is 9k ish. Each morph state duplicates the mesh, so a mesh with 9k polycount + fit, fat, and thin = 27k polys total).

Anyway, that is still within a range where it shouldn't explode or anything, but the parts I had to duplicate might cause strange shading in CAS. Just know it's probably just a CAS issue. lol

@Emily4331 Ohhhh ok. I see. ?? Sorry I misunderstood. :p

Lol, sorry the actual shirt is a mess. :lol: Like I said before, no rush. :kissing_heart: Thanks!

@emorrill So, yes, the second shirt you linked is the correct one. It isn't shown in the preview pics on the site, but the base pattern is the same. It'll have to wait because looking at this shirt in Blender...it's a mess. And I kinda hate it. But that's okay. I'm just too tired and crabby to deal with it right this second. :tongue:

@emorrill Lol yes I can see the hole, but thanks for the big red circle. :tongue: I'm saying There is no visible backface culling at that angle in Blender. You aren't seeing the backface culling in her second preview picture either. That is the way the shirt sits and the way it is visible from the front.

It's a little hard to see backface culling in Blender because everything is grey. But you can see here that the shirt is entirely closed up with no visible backface culling near the neck where your screenshot would suggest there is. The only visible backface culling I can see is under the collar and hardly visible.

This is the shirt from the front. Again, no visible backface culling beyond under the collar where it is hardly noticeable.

The reason is looks like it might be culling in the preview pic on the creator's site is that the shirt sits low in the back. So there just isn't geometry where you think it's being visible culled in the preview pic:

I deleted the sim neck so you can see better: the only culling is under the collars and inside the shirt:

All those pics were taken with backface culling enabled in Blender, so if those backfaces were being culled they'd be invisible like in-game.

I've looked at the shirt again in TSRW and compared it to your pic and I don't think it's the same shirt. I'll check the other shirt you linked.

@Emily4331 Or hold up. :p Maybe it's this shirt...guess they both have similar patterns.

@Emily4331 Wow! You really are awesome! :smiley: I wasn't expecting those fixes so quickly. :mrgreen: Thank you!

Lol. I meant to mention the stomach seam on the Qipao top so I'm glad you noticed it and fixed it. :lol: I'll take a look at it in game soon, but I would imagine the shadows are a little better now. ;) A lot of it could be due to the pixelation issues that came with Windows 10 updates...

I knew I should've pointed out the problem area on that last shirt for ya... :confounded: Because yeah it's a little hard to see. Here ya go:

^You can see the wall through that opened part there...

I'm pretty sure I directed you to the proper DL for the shirt cause the pattern in the picture is the same as on the shirt on the download page. ??

^If you click on the second picture you'll see, and also see the backface culling a little bit on her own picture there. :joy:

Thank you again. <3

If I see anymore messes with these clothes I know exactly who I'm going to. ;)

@emorrill Okay, these were mostly easy fixes.

1. Beach Dress. Obviously too big. I shrunk it and closed the top up to hide any missing sim body underneath and minimize wardrobe malfunctions. The invisible skirt issue is cause by TS3 using shaders that cull backfaces. This dress was very high poly and the only way to get a double sided normals effect in TS3 is to solidify or duplicate the mesh/parts of the mesh and this increases poly count. Because the dress was already very high poly, I had to decimate it afterwards, but this shouldn't be visible in-game, other than potentially weird lighting in CAS.
2. Fixed the stomach seam on the Qipao shirt. I'm not good with textures. I tried my best to fix the red version's shadows, but didn't have much luck. If you can find someone better at texture stuff than me, they could probably fix that but that is outside my wheelhouse. At least the seam is fixed and the shadows are the red version are slightly minimized.

3. Again for the fur jacket just had to duplicate and flip the normals of the collar to get around the backfaces being culled. Should work fine. Did up poly count but it hopefully won't be an issue. Didn't think decimation was necessary here.
4. I can't see this issue with backface culling in the last shirt you sent me. Either you sent me the wrong shirt or there is something going on in-game with it that I can't fix outside of it lol.
