Custom content hair is grainy
Custom content hair turns very grainy after new update
Forum Discussion
@Elltia_T Many CC skins and alpha hairstyles were broken by the werewolves patch, so it's not just you or your computer/graphics settings. I don't think changing your graphics settings will help at all. As far as I know, Sims 4 Studio does not currently have a batch fix to repair the broken files, but maybe that is something they'll add in the future.
CmarNYC is working on a utility mod called TS4AlphaConverter to repair broken alpha hairstyles and skins. I don't think I can post a link here, but you can find it on Mod the Sims. It's very new but it might be worth keeping an eye on to see if it's something you'd be willing to try after it's been tested more thoroughly.
Otherwise, keep checking back to whatever site you used to download your CC hairstyles and skins to see if they have updated versions, or if there is a new release of S4S that includes a batch fix.
I tried the Alpha converter on all my files and it worked. Only 7 S-club hairs didn't manage, but all my other hair, skins etc got fixed. I'm so greatful, thank you sm! I will say this, it took 36 hours straight for to convert all my files (30 000). But I can say that it was worth it.
I will keep checking S4S and updates by the CC creators
I have noticed tho that the S-Club black hair color has survived so if you want to use that until the mods are updated you could
The latest version of Sims 4 Studio, 3.1.5.9, has batch fixes for CC hairstyles and slider mods that were affected by the Werewolves patch. The new version has:
1. a batch fix that will repair these packages so the hair will look right and still be compatible with the color sliders.
2. a batch fix that will change hairs that aren’t compatible with the color sliders so they are.
3. a batch fix that will fix face and body slider mods so they work in patched games.If anyone is still having problems with CC alpha hairstyle or slider mods, this is another option for your consideration.
