This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Expansion pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below the description for more information.

Updated

I fixed the solid textures to better match the original tops textures, added shadows and added a thumbnail to find the top more easily in cas.

Just like to say that this is my first mesh ever and I hope you guys like it.

If you're like me then you wished that the cardigan outfit was available as a top.

Well now it is. I removed the shorts and raised the draping as well as flared it out a bit.
There are some issues with it since the draping is lower then your standard top.

First off it doesn't work well skirts or shorts that flair out to much. ATM those are the only two bottoms that flair out to much for it.
The second issue is that the clipping with flared bottoms can become worse depending on the sims hip to thigh ratio. This is only a probably with those two bottoms.

The next issue is that when sims sit there is slight clipping. There is no way for me to fix that without completely removing the draping effect.
Certain actions may also experience clipping but it is from my experience that only actions that requires a lot of movement will have it, like yoga.

Since I had to alter the texture and how the mesh reads it I didn't edit all 5 original textures, instead I edited one and recolored it to match as close to the other colors. I also included 8 ombre textures.

It can be found under sweatshirts and jackets for Everday and Party and available for Teen-Elder. Randoms not allowed. I also didn't included color categories for the ombre textures.

I'm not sure if it's because of my game version or what but I downloaded this because I loved it but when I went to CAS to put it on my sim, when I went back to play it made my sim cast a strange shadow like thing. I'm not sure if you know what I'm talking about and I also don't know how to take a screen shot type thing to show you. Do you think you could help me? I'd love to keep this in my game.

I've got the screenshots now but I don't know how to make them smaller. The upload information thing is telling me they are too big to be attached. Again sorry, I'm not very savvy with how to do the screenshot thing on here, so it may take a few questions and responses before I can actually get them up for you. But I have them.

By shadow effects in cas I assume you mean the shadowing that would appear around the collar, sleeves, and hem. Like the clothes themeselves are casting them. For this I actually removed the shadowing because it is tricky and doesn't always accept any changes made to it.

As for the live mode problem I haven't experienced that before. What are your graphic settings?

Also for posting pics on here you can change the pic format by opening them in Photoshop, Paint.net, and even Paint and selecting "save as" and changing them from .png to .jpg, as a .jpg they will have a smaller byte size without you having to sacrifice the pic size.
