Tutorial For Adding Colour Slider To CC Hair. Clothes, Shoes
This is a tutorial on how to add a colour slider for cc hair, clothes, shoes etc. Links to resources are highlighted in bold within the steps for you. The tutorial can also be found publicly on my patreon for easier viewing here :)
Step one: download thepancake1 and MixoreYukii’s UI colour slider - (link is at the bottom of their post), for this you only need the UI, you do not need all of the downloads that add the slider to the sims 4 maxis hairs and clothes.
Step two: download an up-to-date version of the sims4studio (pick windows or mac version)
Step three: create a folder somewhere called ‘batch exports’ (the name honestly isn’t important, just something you will remember, can put the folder anywhere)
Step four: open up the cc package you want to add the colour slider to via sims4studio, for this tutorial I am using oma-simmer’s Panda hair.
Step five: go into ‘warehouse’ in the cc package.
Step six: select tools, modding, convert RLE2 to LRLE
Step seven: once sims4studio is finished converting the files, select done and then highlight all of the new LRLE files and select ‘batch export’, export these files to the folder I asked you to create earlier.
Step eight: at this point you should not have saved the cc file, exit the file leaving it unchanged and getting rid of the RLE2 to LRLE conversions you made.
Step nine: Re-open the cc package in it’s original state, go back into warehouse and select ‘batch import’, import all of the LRLE files that you exported into your 'batch exports’ folder.
After importing these LRLE files you should now have the original RLE2 files and the new LRLE files both inside the cc package. Now click save.
In game you should now have a colour slider for this cc hair.
Here are links to videos of me using the new slider in-game for this cc hair, some cc clothes and shoes.
I really hope this tutorial made sense, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! Of course the major credit has to go to thepancake1 and MizoreYukii for managing to use the slider tool and apply it to hair, clothes etc! This is a really cool improvement for the sims game :)
