Hey! Are there any good tutorials on how exactly to add the new hair swatches to cc hairs? I have a lot of hairs whose creators are no longer active/are not going to update and I'd like to do it myself. I downloaded aharris00britney's gradients but I can't figure out what to do beyond that. Thanks!!

i haven’t even updated my own hairs so i’m at a loss on how exactly to do this.

but my brain just says, update your game, and just run the gradient or action through photoshop and add those swatches to the file? i don’t think you’d have to create a whole new file but i might be wrong.

@aharris00britney can you help out? or any creator that updated their hairs? @okruee @ice-creamforbreakfast?

okruee

basically:

Step 1: after your game has been updated with the new swatches, open sims4studio, under CAS hit create 3D mesh, filter for hair and shift+click on any hair with all the swatches, and hit next. once the hair is loaded go to tools > colour palette in the top toolbar, hit the add button at the bottom to make a new palette and then click import palette and save.

Step 2: open the hair you want to update in s4s, export the dirty blonde (08) diffuse map texture as .png or .dds whichever you prefer. then go to tools > colour palette again, select the palette we just imported from the other hair and click ‘apply palette to package’ this will add the new swatches into the palette of your hair

Step 3: open the dirty blonde texture in photoshop, import @/aharris00britney’s gradients into photoshop by opening the gradients menu in the toolbar and clicking on the little gear > load gradients

Step 4: in the layer panel to the bottom left, click on the little circle at the bottom to create a new adjustment layer > gradient map. Now you can just click on the new gradients and you’ll see they match those of the new swatches, go through all of them and save each one

Step 5: go back to your hair in s4s, and import the new texture maps into the appropriate swatches (should be swatch numbers 01, 04, 06, 10, 11, and 16)

Step 6: if you want to make the new colours work with genetics follow this tutorial by @/greenllamas to give them correct tags, and now the hair should be updated! :)

[whispers into void] did you know about these cheats?

Breasts Force On and Force Off

Activate testingcheats true and cas.fulleditmode before using these!

traits.equip_trait trait_Breasts_ForceOn This will force the game to equip breasts (usually restricted to female Sims) on any Sim you choose. It will also give your Sim’s skin the texture used for female Sims.

traits.equip_trait trait_Breasts_ForceOff This will force the game to remove breasts (leaving your Sim with a flat chest, like the chest of male Sims) from any Sim you choose. It will also give your Sim’s skin the texture used for male Sims.

You can use the former to give a male sim breasts, or the latter to give a female sim a flat chest. These cheats need to be entered during gameplay, in live mode, with the Sim you want to change as the active Sim. You then need to open your Sim up in create-a-sim (Hold Shift while you click a Sim to see this option) for the changes to become visible. You can undo this effect by repeating these steps, but using the opposite cheat….

thanks, @cookiesandcrumbs!
