Hi, Not a creator at least yet (unless Sims 1 back in the day counts), but I was going through all of my CC in order to delete everything I don't like, and correctly tag everything once and for all so spending so much time finding stuff in CAS and buy mode wouldn't take forever in game! Yes this is a colossal job to do. At some point, I had used Sims 4 Package Editor to delete graphic file swatches from packages such as skin tones, and it resulted into those swatches showing up as something like this, which made me immediately understand that I can't just delete the graphic files because there's some data in the package file that still points to that swatch existing, so that red and white question mark checkerboard is a "404" texture, and the only way to fix a package like that might be to redownload the file and delete the swatch neatly in Sims 4 Studio instead. But now I've come across a different looking texture glitch, and I didn't find mentions of this from a search engine. Hair mesh package that I have not tweaked in any way myself. Has plenty of swatches but all of them show up as the same, black and white checkerboard texture.I have seen what a "missing texture file" hair looks like, and this one seems to be something else because there's no red color nor a question mark. If I can trace what this is caused by, I'll see if there's anything that I can do to fix this file or should I just trash it and move on.

Hi indigo, check my explanation why it happens here. Importing textures from original file should solve this problem.

Hi indigo , check my explanation why it happens here. Importing textures from original file should solve this problem. Okay, thank you. I happen to be going through children's hairs atm, so there's a quite confident suspicion that they have not been originally made for children, but are in fact conversions... Eh, for now as I simply want to play the game, I think it's a bit too much work to start fixing those individual hairs; In my child hair folder, I found 3 of those. Or wait, you don't mean that they could use *adult* diffuse maps from separate packages that contain the original adult mesh? If fixing of this problem is a mistake on the original creator's part and getting them to work in game would require modding of the package files, I think I'm better off just deleting them altogether.

I don't know whether creators who converted hairs chose not to include diffuse textures intentionally or by accident. If it was intentionally and you are not willing to modify .packages for your own use or download original hair then the only option is to delete those .packages since they will never work in the game without adult hairs. The thing is that I saw a lot of hairs like this.
