I am learning how to create new hair colors with sims 4 studio and photoshop. When I try to import my new color into sims4studio it tells me the 256x256 size is wrong and needs to be 1024x2048? When I resize the color and try to import it it colors the whole sim body. not just the hair???? I really want to make my own colors. Can someone help me?

hi! I don't think you're understanding how hair colors work. You should export EA's hair texture, open it on an image editor (photoshop for example) and recolor it/change tones to your liking. It's not just importing a plain color you want. You can read this guide. And here's a video. |

I followed a tutorial on Youtube with GamingMermaid. Everything went fine except for the coloring. Thank you. I will watch this and try again!

Actually, that's close to what I want but I want to make my own recolours. Meaning create my own colors. Any idea on how to do that?

I also wasn't saving my original export file in DDS form. Im thinking maybe that was the issue.

Okay make sure that the background of the hair texture is white. If not the whole body will turn into colour.  As you can see here the background behind the texture I used is white. If you are doing an EA recolour select the hair texture parts and only colour that part. |

If you could explain exactly what is the part you're not understanding (or point a part in the video you don't understand) it would help us to know how to assist you.
You create your own colors by playing with the saturation tool, color balances, layers styles. In the video i linked, the person uses some pack effects so it's easier to match base game tones. But in the one you're mentioning, she does create her own colors.
The texture will never be a plain color with a size 256x256 that you stated on the first post. What you have to import is the full texture. Exactly how it is on the original hair.

I would like to create my own colors and retextures on hair so that I can have the same color every time. Not all the hair colors I downloaded are from the same person and sometimes the colors don't match in styles. I have the creating the colors and the textures down, its importing them in to the sims 4 studio and putting them on the hair thats got me stuck up. I would love to make my own all the time. I'm new at this and can usually figure computer stuff out for the most part. this has just got me stumped. LOL

if you already have the texture and color you want in one final image (like midnightsky shared) then you need to export each hair texture and apply your hair texture just like it's explained in the video you mentioned watching. piece by piece taking into consideration how the original and following that pattern. there's multiple video tutorials about this in YouTube. I'm sorry, but I don't know how else to understand and explain myself.
