Are you sure you're using the proper files to make the default replacement skins?
If you're unsure, download one and try replacing the faces there.

Delete the cache files, too (accessory+groups). If you update skins sims are already using ingame, the cache files could be holding on to incorrect info for those sims.

Do you have the "Texture detail" setting on high? If not, try it. Could help a bit.

I think it's only possible with "flat" roofing/floor tiles (and the floor elevation cheat if you want any kind of shape to it - but don't quote me on that one, as I hardly ever use that cheat), or...

Don't directly edit anything in the game files. Make default replacements for the faces instead. Much safer, and easier to remove if they cause any trouble (which it is likely they will).

Do you have "Sim/object Details" and "Texture detail" on high? If not, the game is probably reading the original clothing LODs. TS2 CAS CC meshes rarely, if ever, have LODs (low-definition versions)...

My guess would be memory overload of some sort (especially with a large and/or CC-heavy lot), or issues with CC.

Do you have any lighting mods installed? If so, which one?
