Hello.
I'm really new at this, I still don't know maaany things, so I apologize if I'm asking something super basic. But right now I have no idea of what to do or why this happens. :confused

My problem is: I finish a hair, but when I import it to S4S it will only import the last object that I added to the hair in Blender. It won't even import the original hair unless is the only thing that I use or the last one.

Help me plsss :cry

Hi. All hairstyle blends consist of 3 meshgroups (s4studio_mesh_): the main shape and two cropped versions that are meant to interact with two types of hats. All of them have cut numbers assigned which are used to help The Sims 4 studio tell them apart.

So what you need to do is to Shift-select and join ( Ctrl J ) all parts of your main shape ( like, hat-less ) and set its cut number to 0002. If you need more detailed explanation, please share your blend

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF CREATOR HELP:

• describe your problem and provide a picture of it (if possible);

• provide download link(s) to .package and .blend files.

If you have a Gmail acc, you can host all of the above on Google Drive

Thank you so much!! I followed what you said and the cut numbers tutorial and it did the trick :yay

I'm still not sure how to know which numbers I have to use so I just randomly selected them :shrug

but at least it worked.

Thank you! :Pikachu

Hello.
I'm having a problem with one hair. I already made two, and with one of them I have no problems at all. :confused

The thing is that in S4S it looks totally fine, but in game it is missing parts, the main one is there, but the others aren't. The different meshes that I used are all joined together with the main mesh in Blender.

Thanks for your help!

but at least it worked.

Basically, the logic behind assigning cut numbers is that we start from the "bottom"

As you see, the one meant for hats that are placed on the forehead the lowest is 0000, the one for higher placed hats is 0001, the main shape is 0002

If you do not want to make your hair compatible with hats, you need to just delete the original 0000 and 0001 meshgroups, duplicate the main shape twice and assign cut numbers to them, does not matter which one to which meshgroup

As for the blend you shared, it has one meshgroup which cut number is 0003. In this case s4studio_mesh_3 should have 0000, s4studio_mesh_1 - 0001, s4studio_mesh_2 - 0002. Also, you should delete all these rig.001-7 (leave the original rig), they are not needed.

There are problems with a uv_1 map and weights

How to fix the weights:

- in Edit mode disable Limit selection to visible. Holding Ctrl, select this.. thing like i did, choose head vertex group and click Remove, select neck vertex group and hit Remove again, switch to Weight paint and click on Auto Normalize. ( for the future, this works only if the meshgroup has Armature modifier added and rig selected, yours already does)

As for your uv_1 map, it's best to separate the braid fully and transfer the uv_1 map for it from the body

- choose uv_1, enable sync, select the braid;

- in 3d view press P and choose Selection;

- unfold rig, make top selectable;

- add Data transfer modifier to the braid, choose top as Source object, set the rest like in the pic, apply;

- join the braid and the rest
