CC Hair Textures

I looks like hairstyle from skysims, or one of the other pre-2012 sims 3 hair creators.

Yep. I found the shoulder length hair and it is an old Skysims hair.

I removed doubles (which means verts that sit in the same spot) in Blender and it removed over 3000 of them. So i think that might be the problem. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about CC hair creation to actually fix it. I am a novice in general with CC creation. But from what knowledge I have of 3D modelling, I would say that the weird issue in game has something to do with the huge number of verts that are in the same spots.

So, if I had to guess, the issue is that the weird blocky texture you see in-game is because the light in game is trying to figure out which face it is supposed to be hitting, but it can't because there are so many faces in the exact same spots. If that makes sense. You could try to find a re-done version of this by someone else and they may have fixed the issue.

Yes, all the problematic hair is Skysims, and unfortunately, all of the really good hairstyles for female children I found at TSR are made by Skysims, so they most likely all have the same issue. I looked up Skysim retextures online, and was able to download one of the same ones I had downloaded from TSR (not the ones in the picture). All the other links required me to install something else before I could download, and I'm not willing to do that. But the retexture was just as bad.

Yeah, if the retexture is just as bad it is guaranteed a problem with the mesh itself. :/

Just did a test put three hairs chosen at random by Skysims from TSR in my game.

All looked perfect,so not sure what could be wrong


Example of one below just took this in game

Now I have to go uninstall don't want CC in my game.

@CravenLestat So maybe they aren't all bad then. Unfortunately, the female child and toddler hairs I like the best are bad. It's such a shame. Skyskims made such adorable toddler hairs especially. Nothing else I saw from other creators even came close.

@Emily4331 I don't know anything at all about CC creation. You said you found and removed the doubles but you don't know how to fix it. I take it that means just removing the doubles and saving it wouldn't do it, correct? Also in your other post, you said it's definitely the mesh. Does that mean there's no fix to it even if someone does know how to make CC?

@IreneSwift Am not a CC guy but dang gotta agree <3 while picking hairs their stuff is really cute.If interested the one in my picture is a Ashley Tisdale hair

@IreneSwift I can see if I can fix it, but I'm just not sure my knowledge of CC creation, especially CC hair creation, is enough for me to properly fix it. Someone with more knowledge could, probably.

@Emily4331 Oh, don't go to the trouble on my account. I can live without it. I did get a lot of other adult female hairs from other creators, most of which look good in game on the test sims I tried them on. I also got a few child hairs of both genders, though the styles are not as nice as Skysims'.

That is the trouble with CC. A lot of people edit their pictures so you can't be sure the quality is as good as it appears to be until you try it out yourself. Glad you were able to find some other styles that looked good, though!
