What causes the red and white checkered box all over your sim when you equip a hair in CAS, but you have the mesh? Someone downloaded my infant hair conversions and they don't work. They have the original toddler versions installed too. When I created these conversions, I googled how to include the mesh. I found a thread here saying to choose "Create 3D mesh" and select your file and save your package, so that's what I did, but you still need the original mesh for my conversions to work properly. I am not sure if these two issues are related. The hairstyles work fine for me as long as I have the original mesh installed and I have seen other people using them too. Is it a graphics card issue? Did I do something wrong? Here is one of my blend files and here is the package file just in case you want to look at it.

Hi. When you create a conversion, you edit and re-import the mesh, so it is included in the package. What is not included is everything else that is unedited, namely the textures. So yes, the user must have the original file in their \Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods for this one to work. You can include the textures (original package in Documents\Sims 4 Studio\Mods, restart s4s, open your package, Tools - Modding - Embed externally referenced resources), but only if the original creator allows, which is a rarity.
If they do and it still does not work, this is a mistake on their part. They need to make sure the right file is in \Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods

Okay that explains why you still need the original. I was confused on that. I have only been converting hairstyles that the creator TOS allows conversions, and if they say not to include the mesh then I didn't. I used two different tutorials when I first converted hair and neither told me about the textures lol. Not a big deal though. So that means the issue is on their end since they said they have the original files.
