In this case, there are two hair and hairalpha5. In my case, everything but the adult mesh.Īnd name them something you'll recognize.Īlso, open the gmdc to check how many groups the mesh has. Now delete everything that belongs to ages you're not using. Now open the mesh file of the hair you're using as a replacement. Be sure to commit after deleting everything.Īfter you've done this for all 3D ID referencing files, save. You do this by selecting it and (in plugin view) deleting everything that's in it. Next, empty out all the 3D ID referencing files. Now would be a good time to save your file Now open a new file, right-click in white space and choose 'Add.'Īdd all of the property sets and 3D ID referencing files you've just extracted. Now scroll along and use Ctrl+click to select all the 3D ID referencing files that have the same instance number.Īfter you've selected all of them, right-click one of the selected files and choose 'Extract.'.īe sure to put them in a separate folder which you can find later on.ĭo the same for the property sets and 3D ID referencing files of the other ages. To get these as quickly as possible, first sort by name and select as many of the files you'll need. You're going to need the property sets and the 3D ID referencing files. Open one of the files you want to replace. Mine only has an adult mesh, but there are usually different property sets for the young adults. Choose property sets from the latest EP can find. Sometimes your finder will find the files in multiple Expansion Packs. You don't have to replace all ages or even all the hair colors. Now find all the hairs you want to replace. Type the name of the hair you're replacing, in my case HairHatCowboyUp. Put 'Find:' on 'PropertySet Search' and 'Type:' on 'Contains '. Start up SimPE and open your Scenegraph Resource Finder. So check in the default database or make a quick recolor in bodyshop and open that in SimPE (see tutorial no. First off, you need to know what the piece you're trying to replace is called. I'm going to replace 'HairHatCowboyUpFlat' with some braids I found, by stakeit_uk, here. Beware, this is way different from the other tutorial, so it may take some time to get it right. I'm going to make this friends-only for now, just to see if it's any good.
