not gonna lie, this discouraged me and stil discourages every day

not going to stop Urge, it just slightly slowed me down. very demotivated right now but i'm going to fix things some day - probably by Horse Ranch launch at max? maybe

not going to pressure myself to much about doing it fast - being occuped pressuring myself too much in making macrame into a $$$ lately ><

being doing a lot of lore progress lately - not so much about plot, buuuuut it is what it is. very excited about remembering what made me launch Urge at fist place: i just love so much writing stories and producing a simmer story

Are you experiencing this very annoying glitch? Well I looked all around the internet and I found that lots of other people get this problem too with certain CC items, but no one had a solution other than “remove the CC”, and after looking for a solution for about a week and investigating, I found something which works as a temporary fix so we don’t have to remove the CC only to get naked sims roaming around the town.

So how do you fix it?

Step 1: Locate the exact CC that’s causing it. 

A good way of doing this is taking the sim you see glitching and cheating to strip them (eek) to see which item it is. If this is a problem as you’ve spent a lot of effort making their outfit, just add a new outfit to “copy” it, then remove the first one.

Step 2: Find the CC .package file. 

Okay so you found the item, but your Mods folder is a complete mess and there’s no way to find it there. Try using this method!

Step 3: Fix it! 

Now you have the .package file located. Open it up in Sims 4 Studio and under “Texture” you see “Shadow”. That’s the shadow map of the CC, which is unfortunately what’s breaking it. The most efficient method here is to remove that shadow map by pressing it and then clicking on “Make Blank”. You don’t need to do this for every swatch as they all use the same file, and there you go! 

Shadow maps do make CC look a lot more polished, but it’s absolutely not necessary for the CC to work. I’m also sure you could the shadow map itself and not have to remove it, but I tried a bunch and I couldn’t get that to work because I am inexperienced in this realm.
