Hello! I'm very, very new to S4S (like, 2 days new) and downloaded because I got inspired after finding a handful of default replacement/overrides for EA hairs. However, there's a weirdly small amount of this content (I remember for TS2 I had almost every item replaced lmao), so I set out to try to learn to do it myself using this forum and another tutorial I found. And it took a bit, and I thought I figured it out! Checked it in the game, looked great, I was so proud of myself...until I clicked another hair color and saw all but the first swatch was completely messed up. It seems that I'm able to override only one swatch at a time, regardless of whether or not I have them all selected. Am I completely missing a step here? Can anyone help?
I was hopeful that this tutorial would help but I've do everything in it with no luck.
Screenshots of my process to help:
Open the CC I want to override the default- export the mesh as a blend file, then all the textures and thumbnail as a .png, making sure all the color swatches are selected
Go to the main screen and select CAS overrides
Find the hair I want to override and select all the swatches, save as a package in my Sims 4 mods folder
import the mesh .blend file, then the textures and thumbnail
Looks perfect for the black swatch....not so much for the others.
Do I have to export each individual mesh/texture for every single swatch?? I sure hope not, but it just doesn't make sense why a step of the process is to select all the swatches? The CC hair has the regular EA swatches.
