Sims hair is both squished and missing parts of the mesh?

Hi. The blend is most likely not structured correctly. We would need to see the package and blend files to provide any useful answer

Yes, that and the mesh is not adapted to move and morph

- clone yfHair_ShortTextured, export the blend, open it. You will see three meshgroups: a base shape of the hair and two hat chops, not the base shape split into three parts. Each of them has different cut numbers, which is how s4s knows what 3d model in the blend should replace what in the package;
- if you were to look through other components of either meshgroups, you'd see that they have two uv maps: uv_0 defines how textures are displayed, uv_1 defines how the hair will morph in-game;
- in the vertex groups list there are bones that affect the mesh, yours has none. This data can be transferred from the reference;
- hair should be vertex painted, otherwise it will not morph correctly. This type of data can be transferred from the reference
- you should also never transform the item in Object mode;

- open the blend you shared, join all three parts of the mesh into one;
- export the blend with Selection only enabled. This will remove some of the unnecessary data;
- open yfHair_ShortTextured blend, delete hat chops, rename the remaining mesh to Reference. Import the hair there;
- create a new uv map, name the first one uv_0, the second one uv_1;
- transfer weights, uv_1 and vertex paint from the reference to your hair;
- delete the reference, duplicate the hair twice, give them different cuts: 0000, 0001, 0002;
- save, import into yfHair_ShortTextured package

Both can be found in the Data tab, as shown in screenshots.
You should watch a video tutorial on this subject to familiarize yourself with the process and the interface

I can't seem to find the data transfer modifier?

Hi, for some reason in sims 4 studio my hair mesh shows up partly transparent in one area, along with the entire hair using the skin texture. I have the actual texture set up in both blender and S4S however it only covers a small portion of the hair. What am I doing wrong?

Did what you said, but now the mesh will not show up in S4S, I've checked and each mesh is set to geom and the cut numbers seem to be correct, could be wrong though, again sorry for all the trouble.

Thank you so much! The hair's finally showing up and working as intended, I can't thank you enough, I just have one more question and that is how to combat the mesh of the braid still showing up in s4s. I've tried both deleting the reference and making sure the mesh is not visible in blender before I export, however it still appears, what do I need to change or delete to get rid of the og mesh?
