HI. I'm new to the forum and new to S4 Studio.
My question is regarding an alpha hairstyle. I won't mention the creators name. This creator has an alpha hairstyle released recently and it is one of the few alpha hairstyles that I have liked in the last 6 months or so. The problem is the hairstyle when used on my sim, puts a weird shadow on both sides of the sims face, and the back "half" of their neck and shoulders. It is not a problem with my game, as there have been several comments posted on this persons page on TSR regarding this shadow issue. i have tried contacting this person twice about the shadow issue on another website that they have, but have gotten no response.
When I open the package file in S4 studio there is a separate layer with the shadow. I have tried exporting the shadow file as a png file and then edit it in Paint 3D with an eraser tool. Then I re-imported the png file back into the package file. That did not work. I also tried making the png file transparent. That did not work either. I can delete the shadow layer and that solves the problem. However, the hairstyle doesn't look quite as nice that way. I can see where a lighter shadow by the hairline and towards the ears would certainly look a little better.
I am wondering if someone can advise me as to how I can fix this problem as I would like to use the hairstyle is possible. Let me say I have no intention of using the edit hairstyle for anything but personal use. If there is some sort of "violation" of cc usage involved, kindly tell me so and I will just give up on this piece of cc and move on.
Thanks
