As i understood alpha is something shader related so i wonder if that's possible to rip off ingame shaders to bring them on hair? I mean could people, for example, copy objects/trees/windows shaders we have in game, not just cas, and force them on the hair. I'm really sorry if i sound weirdo/noobie but if that stuff possible, we still need to wait for Maxis/EA to reveal full shader list available in game. Or patch .-.
Alpha is shader related, the problem with this though is everything is in the Shaders_Win32.Precomp file. This file is unfortunately nearly impossible to open up and modify. From what I looked at though the Sims 4 Shaders and Sims 3 shaders do share the same numberings and names but the problem with this is you can't just take TS3's Shaders Precomp and replace it in TS4's because it won't load TS4 if you do that. Unfortunately unless EA fixes that file and gives modders the shaders needed for Alpha editable clothing and hair, it's not gonna be able to be modded in.
I wish it would have been that easy as I was willing to figure out how to write the shaders just so it can be done, but unfortunately it's not.
EDIT: I also reread it, Unfortunately, that can't be done, for some reason using a non-CAS shader causes the game to crash on clicking the hair.
