  • Hello everyone :)
    I am new to the forum and was wondering where I can find a description of the gfx (flash) files that make up the user interface?

    I know how to decompile and edit them with JPEXS but there are just so many in the ui.package! Is there a list with gfx descriptions like we have for tuning descriptions?

    Specifically, I am trying to add some hotkeys to help with repetitive strain injury. But if you can point me to the right place I can just look for the correct resource :)

    Thanks for all the help!
  • hi, i can't see the items like outfits and everything with customization of the sims but the other mods are working fine like the slice of life so idk what's the problem :(((( plz help me.
  • Everybody knows that if you want to make CC you need to use sims 4 studio but how do you create actual mods? like for example a mod that makes it so that you die every 3 seconds.
