Greetings.I have some few furniture CC, and one day I noticed that some of them (not all) had weird markings on the items that wasn't there before. It looked like the item had bumps and weird thick in depth lines, bottom line is that the item is not suppose to look like that, so yeah. What the cause of the texture going bonkers?

Hi @Zafireria it happened after the patch on May 17. These bumps are bumpmap texture (the one that is showing like bumps under the main texture) which is suppose to be the same size as main texture but some creators made it smaller in the past (this way of creating textures was working before). Probably EA has changed the way game processes (renders? sees?) CC items. I believe all creators have to redo their objects changing the size of bumpmap textures to match the sizes of main textures. Recently there was a discussion regarding this issue on Sims4Studio forum. You can read the explanation why did it happen here.

@Feyona Interesting. I noticed that some items went back to normal after I deleted the localthumbcache and spotlight even tho I always delete those when I add or remove CC of any kind. I had some eyelashes that was really weird but went back to normal after deleting those two, but then some of the items (that suffered from those bumps) got like much worse than before while others were fixed o.O

Fixing bump maps is super easy, but it's a long tedious process if the problem appears on a lot of items. I haven't really checked all my objects lately, but if I were you, I'd pick the ones I absolutely love and give up the rest.

And I have the few items I love, but some of it has that stuff on =/ Its on my fav couch T.TEasily fixable, just get a blanc bump map and import it into sims4studio, done. I'm on mobile, but there's a lot of tutorials on how to do this, you just need to make sure it's the same size as the texture.

@Bananas_45 Oh thanks! Do you by any chance of some links to tutorials about fixing this issue using tray or something else?

OK. Are the artifacts you see the same as what I've pictured above? (i.e. dark block and line on the right side of the couch)

And can you post your config.log (located in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Config.log).

Thanks!

Yes it is but there not that many of them. I will post the config later today when i am at the computer (on phone at the moment)

By the way. Do you know if merging cc in one big file is better than seperate files in terms of faster loading, less lag, etc or?
