Hello,
I know the answer to this is either something blindingly obvious I am missing, or it'll be that Maxis just didn't map the section I want to recolor and it has to stay white. I hope it's the former. I am trying to recolor the little girls sun dress mesh that came with seasons, with the huge plastic flowers on the sash and shoes.
I have it all recolored and perfect, except for one thing, there is a white plastic disc thing around the flowers that just won't be recolored. I tried making everything but the flower on the flowers texture (it has a separate one) black, and even that didn't change the circles color. I've also made almost everything thats not dress/ shoes /sash etc. on the dress texture black s well, still no sign of the disc changing color. I also can't find anything on the alpha that seems to conform to it to give me a clue.
I've done many many recolors before, of Maxis and custom meshes, and had things where I had to search a bit to find which area recolored them, but this is insane. :rofl: I am hoping that someone who has recolored this dress before can either give me a hint as to how to get it recolored or tell me it's hopeless and can't be, so I can stop pulling my hair out. If it can't be recolored I guess I'll have to scrape up the money to finally register Milkshape and lop the flowers off, because the huge white plastic disk just doesn't look right on my goth/ punk sun dresses.
Thanks in advance for any help. I've added a pic of the dress so you can see the areas I mean.
