Thank you. I figured that's what it was. I will try Paint.net for my simple recolors, then. Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you. Like I said, I think it might be my DDS files not saving correctly. I just don't have access to or am familiar with any other program that can open/edit DDS files. I'm a graphic artist, but I work in Paint Tool SAI (along with my old reliable PhotoShop 7 for finishing touches). Here are the two package files- Original file (This was a female to male I converted and works fine) My recolorAny help would be appreciated. I'd LOVE to try and make the hair a bit shorter as well, but if I can't even do a recolor, there's really no hope of me shortening it as well :P

I put it in my Sims 4 mods folder as well... As I said, it's there but invisible. The thumbnail shows up as a bald guy with extra shadow on his head and the same happens when you click the thumbnail. I'm sorry if my original post wasn't clear with the "disappearing" comment. I know how to install mods and I DID copy my recolor to my Sims 4 mods folder.

I seem to be having a similar problem where, in creating a recolor of a custom content hair, it looks fine within Sims 4 Studio but magically disappears within the actual game. I have the original package file in my game (as I do want to use the other colors), but it's just not coming up. I used to tweak colors and even hair lengths easily back in the day of Sims 2, but this new stuff has me all kinds of confused. I wonder if it's my DDS file not saving correctly? I have PhotoShop 7 (yes, old, but faithful) and I installed the DDS plug-in, but when I open an exported texture from Sims 4 Studio, it is never transparent like I know it should be. So, I downloaded DDS Converter to make them PNGs and can THEN save them back to DDS. I'm starting to wonder if this is where I'm going wrong? I'm not entirely sure. It's just strange that the recolor appears in Sims 4 Studio but is completely gone within my game. Any advice/help would be so greatly appreciated Thank you in advance!
