Operating system
Graphics card
Game graphics settings
Are clothing and hair textures working?
Are eye colors and eyebrows working?
Do you have default eyes, eyebrows, and/or makeup installed and if so, are they working?


- Win 10
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
- All settings on highest except edge smoothing, usage of compressed textures turned on
- On the sims that are bugged (nearly everyone), neither clothing nor hair work, same with eyes and eyebrows
- I just started using defaults for skin, eyes and eyebrows just because of that error, but nothing really seems to work right or fix the general error of sims in skin suits.

Edit: Tried to do what lataya said, but still no change sadly. :]

Default I need help!
Hello! I have Default Replacement eyes, and I downloaded your mod to fix the broken default eyes and no matter how many times I fix the eyes it won't do anything. Can someone help me?

Please upload or link to the default eyes you're using. What's happening when you try to fix them - do you get 0 defaults fixed, or do they not work in the game?
Please do not PM me with mod, tutorial, or general modding questions or problems; post them in the thread for the mod or tutorial or post them in the appropriate forum.

It won't let me upload the file. I update the eyes with the tool but they're still broken in the game.

Oh by the way. Just tried default skin, default eyes and default eyebrow replacements + HQ textures only in a game, and most of the sims work (ea generated tho) - the ones showing up black are wearing make up from the latest patch, which I can just kill of the sim. Didn't get skinsuit no more. Gonna give it another try in my fully modded game and edit this post then.

Edit: Alright, doesn't work in my modded game, so maybe there is a mod conflicting. I'll. Keep digging for the difference of working and nonworking sims. x)

Edit Nr. 2: APPARENTLY THERE REALLY IS A MOD CONFLICTING. Sorry for caps. I'm just. excited. I moved a not-working sim from the modded game into the not-modded one (only moved the cc over she uses) and. Voila. Beautiful HQ sim working just fine. Going to check for the culprit tomorrow!

So. News. My game works again. I might have just missed a few HQ textures and maybe this is going around in the whole sims community. Or it's messed up default textures. Or anything.
But I wrote a quick guide what I did and what worked for a friend as well, so I thought I might share, its basically just resetting everything and redownloading HQ Textures:

Wouldn't be working without your tools, CmarNYC. So thank you for that. <3

Okay so I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. From what I understand V2 of the tool will add CASPs to the package making it no longer a texture only default replacement. Does this mean that texture only default replacements are not possible anymore because of the new wrapper that has yet to be unwrapped?

That's exactly right - we now have to link to a new TGI to avoid the game loading an EA texture despite the replacement.

I can confirm this works. The essentials seem to be that you need fixed HQ default replacements of eyes and eyebrows to fix the skin suit problem. I didn't need skin replacements. I also need default replacement makeup for the EA makeup to work without making the sim turn black. MAC makeup will make the sim either black or skin-suited and I don't know of a way to fix them. Gotta say it's not much of a loss, imo.

I'm thinking of doing default replacements of EA makeup in HQ just to fix this.

Thank you for confirming! ♥ I'm glad it worked for you as well. Good to know it's only eyes and eyebrows needed!
And yup, the MAC stuff needs to be converted once the S4S is updated to be able to read the new resources.

It'd be great if you could do default replacements imho <3 Definitely going to look forward to that! At least it will fix the randomly generated sims by EA then. : )

Thank you. Yes, I keep paying attention to news about other underlying issues revealed after the patch. The Default replacements that I love are working thanks to your tool, so I really appreciate your efforts!

Hi,
I used this to fix the 'Thousand Eyes' default replacement by TioSims. It kind of worked for a while and I created a bunch of families with them fixed but for some reason it now only works on the first sim loaded in CAS. The second sim does not have the replacement eyes nor can I change their eye color. Any idea why? I have tested them with only the eyes installed and this happens so I am certain it is the eyes at fault.

I was able to create multiple sims in CAS and change their eye color with no problems, so I don't know what to tell you.

I'm having this same problem! I use RemusSirion's Plasticity eyes. It doesn't work well.

I think I "solved" the problem. I just went to TSR and downloaded the file again. It worked. I don't know what could have happened. But thanks for the answer.

I don't know how you did that but it's amazing!! I just realised how tough it is to find good eyes that fit, and this 'game patch break' really messed everything up. And you fixed it!! Thank you very much!!! :-)

i tried to fix the eyes i wanted to use. No matter what i do, it doesn't work. I have no clue what i'm doing wrong.

https://modthesims.info/d/634214/re...ement-eyes.html

a link to the eyes i wanna use. I have no other default replacements. I do use the better body mod and the wicked whims mod but that doesn't affect the eyes as far as i know.

The conversion of those eyes works fine in my game. What do you mean that it doesn't work? It won't convert, doesn't show up in the game, what?

Also you can try removing any custom eye colors as a test - I had a custom eye color with a very minor error that somehow messed up my default replacements.

Default Default Eyes Still Not Showing Up
Hello! Thank you for this mod~!

For some reason, the default eyes that I downloaded absolutely will not show up in-game. I tried using your tool, but they still don't show up anywhere. I tested another set of default eyes and it worked with those no problem. I even removed my entire mods folder and only placed the eyes in to make sure there were no conflicts and it still doesn't work. I'm out of ideas at this point. I've uploaded the original file for the eyes and the "fixed" one for you to take a peek at if you can.
