So I've been making a few recolors of clothing for Bella using Sims 4 Studio and they're working out fine but when I put the package file into my mods folder the recolors show up as seperate items instead of as a swatch linked to the original. Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be appreciated =]

Strange - can you upload the pack you're working on? I know that it can be edited manually in S4PE but I haven't had a look at the studio yet.

Make a replacement instead of a stand alone and your item will appear as an option for the original item of clothing.
