Hi dears!

I've a question that is bugging me for a while.

I've a hair CC from Maysims. May_TS4_Hair89F.package

This single file doesn't open properly in studio, unlike all her other hair I have (quite a bit).

Whenever I wanna open it, studio gives me this error:

I am not sure why.
It is a paid hair. So I wonder, is it something she put on it so that it can't be opened on purpose? Or is it bugged?

Can I do something about it?
Once it happened that I fixed all my mods with some batch fixes and this file got completely broken by it.
Even the back up in the back up folder didn't work anymore, the hair had gone and she was bald. Since I couldn't open it I couldn't do anything about it, and I had to repurchase it from her site for another 2 dollars lol.

Now I'm keeping a back up always, but I am curious what is wrong with it.
Anyone knows?

I'd share it, but since it's paid, I can't :/

hi! all their items are stolen creations from other Sims artists or random 3D model sites. I'm pretty sure I've heard that they tend to modify or whatever their packages to avoid ppl "stealing" "their" stuff... no wonder those are bound to break. Also I've seen users be affected by malware from them so I'd avoid downloading their content. that's my humble opinion based on the experiences of other simmers.

Yeah, I heard once that people were complaining about her/him whatever they are.

It's just that this hair was so pretty, I couldn't really resist. But it was very annoying and should it break again I sure as hell won't buy it a third time :P

I have no idea where they copied/stole it from sadly :P I'd much rather have the original but yeah.

Thanks for the answer!

The original hair is from Coolsims. It's a TS2 conversion, first converted to TS3 and now to TS4. For TS3 it's called Hair 45 on the page of Coolsims. But I can't see a conversion to TS4 there. So, I don't know who did the conversion of the hair. If I see who did the conversion, I'll tell you (if there was a permission from Coolsims to did the conversion). Or maybe you can ask Coolsims to do the conversion with her/his permission.
