So that's all.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: You can see that the binning chopped off a few kilobytes from the filesize, good!ДЇire up your game and enjoy your new, shiny, properly binned hair retexture! :D Make sure that you choose the same gray button. If you have only 4 colors, you can skip the next binning step, and you're done The binning process may take a few moments I always uncheck make backup files, but of course you can make backup files in case if something goes wrong. You can also make a separate gray file, but you have to make another package for this in Bodyshop. You can choose the color you want to attach the gray to. Since we have 6 files, we'll bin in twice, but with the same black and blond. Again, if you arrange them by the date of modification, you can see that the first one we made was the blond, the second was the maxis red, etc. Copy them to a new folder in your downloads folder (it's in a working folder in my case)ДЄfter that, name the files. If you arrange the files by the date of modification, you can see the new hairs on the top. Repeat the steps until you finish all the colorsДЄnnd, you can see everything in the custom bin, if everything looks allright, close Bodyshop Run the saving action, then import the hair to game, etc. Be careful, don't just desaturate the new colored texture, because it would be darker!

Then go back to the desaturated texture, and run the next action. Reload the previous project, we don't have to start a new one or anything. Just run the color action on the desaturated texture (or for other textures, it's the volatile one sometimes - it depends on the action) Give it a nice tooltip, and import the thing to game Refresh the project again, and check if everythink is okay. You don't have to care about it after that (despite if you want multiple elder colors) But it makes the saving process so much easier, so I recommend doing it! You don't have to care about the elder textures now, except if you want colored elder hair.Д«ecause now we'll make the elder ones, with desaturating the whole texture.ДЄnd save the elder texture.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to make actions relative, so I have to set it up with every single hair I retexture. But that one looks nice to me :DДЄfter that, I always set up a saving action, using the adult bmp file that we just saved and not the psd. Sometimes you have to poke with the textures a bit if the lighter parts are located in strange positions. Refresh the project in Bodyshop, and you can see the new adult textures. I usually apply an adjustment layer with these settings, just to make the textures a bit brighter

Uncheck the visibility of the alpha layer (or you can also delete it). Then move and adjust the new texture to match the alpha parts For other textures, you might have the volatile colored texture that you have to use, and then color it with the actions.Д¬opy the textures between the texture and the alpha layer, so you can see everything Open the blond texture and copy it (don't worry, it's the same that I linked, just cropped out a part of it that seemed useful). Change the opacity to 30% (well, you can change it to other number too, but it worked the best for me), so you can see both the alpha and the textures that are located under the alpha. Open the alpha too, and copy the alpha layer to the top of the texture layer. Open the adult textures (that starts with afhair or amhair). Open your photo editing program (Photoshop). There are textures, alphas, and a bunch of black whatever that we don't have to care about. Go to the Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Projects/'the name of your new project' folder and you can see what have been exported. Textures and color actions (I linked Simgaroop's)ДЇirst, open Bodyshop, and start a new projectДЇind the hair that you want to retexture (I usually choose the red one, don't ask me why) and export it. Photoshop (or you can also use other photo editing programs, but I'm not sure what colors are available in GIMP curves) Warning: Possible grammar mistakes and occasional Hungarian words on the pictures I use Simgaroop's textures, but I'm pretty sure this method is also useful for other MM textures that don't have multiple shines to place. So I've been asked if I could write a tutorial about how I retexture hair.
