Sul sul Simmers, this video is an updated and improved version of my "How to make CAS CC" video from 2022. Here I will show you all the steps you need to create a so called "frankenmesh" for your The Sims 4 game. Note that all the steps in this video are shown in perfect order. In reality, nobody goes through the steps in exactly the same way and then achieves a perfect result. So make sure that you test your asset before creating all textures and LODs.
