This is a full-purpose tool for creating CAS custom content for TS4. It's specifically meant to work with Milkshape 3D and to get around the limitations of using MS3D for Sims 4 meshes, but many of the functions can be done with OBJ files which can be used by almost any meshing program.Here's a summary of the functions:
Cloning Tool - clone from game packages or custom packages
Clone Package Editor - working with custom content packages
- General CAS part properties - properties applied to all recolors
- Recolor Manager - properties for each recolor
- Previewer
- Mesh Manager - export and import meshes
- General Mesh Manager - fixes / changes applied to all meshes
- Mesh Region Manager - view / modify regions
- Thumbnail Manager - set up custom thumbnails
- Auto Tool: Conversion/Auto Assignments - auto-assign bones, uv1, etc. from a reference mesh
- Conversions: TS4/other - converts TS meshes to and from other formats
- Separate Mesh Layers - creates an MS3D or OBJ mesh with layers separated into groups, mostly useful for alpha transparency hair
- GEOM Tools:
- Examine Mesh - see data in mesh
- View Mesh
- Combine GEOM meshes - combine two TS4 meshes
- Clean Mesh - remove duplicate vertices
- MS3D Tools - tools for Milkshape meshes
- Examine MS3D
- RIG Tools - look at skeleton data
In addition, if you click the Tools menu and Enable Special Tools, you'll see an additional Special Tools tab with various functions I've found useful for searching game packages.

This tool is in a perpetual state of beta, so check back for updates, fixes, new features, and so on.
Questions, bug reports, problems, and suggestions for the tool itself should be posted here. Questions and problems concerning a specific project should be posted in the TS4 Create / CAS Parts forum.
If you're having problems, please upload the package, mesh, texture, etc you're working with and explain exactly what you did step by step. 'I tried to import something and it didn't work' doesn't help me to help you.

11/10/17: V2.7.0.1
Fixed failure to read textures from Cats & Dogs (and probably other packs).
11/13/17: V2.7.1.0
Fixed bug in Autoconversion Tool that was making mesh faces separate in some morphs
Fixed bug causing current version reference meshes in autoconversion to be incorrectly rejected as not TS4
Added a fix for distortion of dress and skirt meshes in morphs, most visible in the fat morph. (Note for CC creators, the maximum red value for vertex color seems to now be 63. According to my tests values over that are causing distortion.) This fix, along with the arm position fix, is in the Clone Package Editor / Mesh Properties and Fixers tab.
11/14/17: V2.7.2.0
Added a fix for transparency (SimGlass) hair which may look either very darkened or have a hard, bright shine. (Note for creators - this is caused by linking a bumpmap that doesn't exist or not linking a bumpmap in the shader at all respectively. I guess the new version rendering is less forgiving.) This fix is also in the Clone Package Editor / Mesh Properties and Fixers tab. It does the same thing as blanking the bumpmap but is done in one click. Should only be used on hairs with these problems. I've heard there may be problems with color in other hairs but without a sample package and a picture of what the hair is supposed to look like I can't test.
Fixed the vertex color correction in the same tab to maybe actually work. Updated vertex color standards.
6/26/18: V2.8.0.0
Added ability to import/export textures from/to .PNG
Fixed bug causing an unrecognized property tag to prevent saving changes to a CASP.
Fixed incorrect values of Exclude Modifiers option in CASP general properties.
Updated list of CASP property tags for Seasons patch.
Minor and cosmetic changes.
12/21/18: V2.9.0.0
Easier import/export from/to .PNG
Updated CASP property tags and packs list for Get Famous and patches.
Minor and cosmetic changes.
Best Sims 4 Hair Mods
It’s no secret that The Sims 4 was a disappointment to the general gaming community. The game, which should have been the next major step forward in Maxis’ long running life simulation series, instead felt cheapened and simplified.
Thankfully, a dedicated community of modders has risen from the rubble of The Sims 4 to provide your sim families with new hairdos to strut around town.
Check out our other mods pieces:
