Sims 4 Shader Lists& possibility of help on getting alpha editable hair to work?

For those wondering why there are so many bumps to this thread - I saw on Tumblr that there are requests to make sure this thread stays on the front page so it can be seen by the Gurus. Not sure how helpful that is, but I think the intention of the bumpers is to put in their "like" or "agree" to the fact they'd really like alpha channels and help with the hair mods.
