Wardrobe Wrangler Released!

[jfade]

This may be a total noob question, but I need some clarification on binning hairs. I have all the hairstyles on the left, and then on the bottom right of the window I can scroll to the right to get to the other files included in that hairstyle. In the ones that are properly binned, I can see that the second-to-last file is binned in grey and the rest are brown (for example). So what I'm understanding is that those 6 files are the different age groups for that hairstyle. Does that mean that when I bin hairs the second-to-last file needs to be put in grey, and the rest in the right colour? What about those hairstyles which don't include all age groups? Is there a way to tell which one should go in grey?

I'd like to know the answer to this one too.  Maybe it's related to my BFBVFS experience with hair files at the moment?

Also might go a ways to explaining why my un-Custom Colours aren't.  I'll play around with it and see what happens, but an expert response'd be handy. 

I would recommend reading the manual too, it explains most of this. The Wrangler will automagically detect the elder age group and bin it to gray accordingly. Additionally, you must use the Copy to All button for things to go into effect properly, otherwise the file will likely not show up as binned like you would expect.

I would ask at DJS Sims, but the link to the forum is bupkiss. When I try to run the .exe I get an error message saying that the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).

[jfade]

Usually that means you need .NET Framework 1.1 installed. Get it from MS.

[Jelenedra]

Yeah, thanks.  I didn't read the manual before starting up the program. If I did, I would've seen the big section on how it needed .net 1.1.

Random thought occurs: Are TSR files still being problematic? If so, can you give me the EXACT link to the file you're having problems with? I don't want to have to go searching around to try and find hair XYZ made by artist 123 when they have 50 gazillion items.

I recently tried binning some TSR content again on a whim (the actual item I binned was created in December of 07, relatively recent) and it seems to be functioning fine now so I'm curious to see if that's what everyone else has noticed.

BAAAAH!

[jfade]

BAAAAH!

Well that's .... helpful.... O.o

[Gwill]

Sorry, can't help you there.  I shun TSR.

The file I had a problem with was one of the sweaters Xandher did recently. I think last month.

The only problem I've had is that the ease with which I can now bin hair, bin and townify eyes, and townify clothing, has caused me to go on a massive downloading spree.

Now if someone would make a tool to automate the process of creating replacement and extra face templates, I'd have nothing left to even wish for. 

[rosenshyne]

Has anyone else noticed a jump in file size when townifying clothes?

[Sivany]

I've just downloaded this and aleady I absolutely love it! There is just one thing that I don't quite understand yet. I've heard that if you have a style of hair that comes in black, brown, blonde and red then obviously all grey hair in all four packages will be the same. I've read many times that this means the grey hair can be deleted in three out of the four hair packages to save space. What I can't quite work out though is what happens if you leave the grey hair only in say the black package then have an adult with the blonde version of the hair transition to elder. Does the game know to give them the black version of the grey hair (assuming the hairs were familied) or does it choose another hair for them because it can't find the blonde version of the grey hair?

[mitchellcjs]

If the Family IDs of the hairs in question are identical, then it will choose the correct gray.

[Sivany]

Thanks, I made a start on deleting the extra grey hairs and put all the colours into families. After I'd done a few I decided to check bodyshop and found that for some reason it is displaying almost all the grey hair as the Maxis straight hair in the thumbnails. When I click on the thumbnail the correct custom hairstyle shows up on the sims but it's still pretty annoying. Does this usually happen?

[Jelenedra]

Yeah, for some reason, when I tried to do all that, I got a bunch of elder colors that were black, brown, red, etc. Is this because I usually list the white hair as custom?

[Sivany]

I think it is because you are setting the white hair to custom, although if you are familying them I don't see why it would do that, especially if you set the elder hair within the custom package to 'grey'. Have you deleted the elder packages from the other colours of the hair?


I've also found that some of my hairs from Rose won't show up in the Wardrobe Wrangler, but I guess I should post about that on the forum rather than here

[Jelenedra]

No, I didn't delete the other gray hairs because I thought "it detects automagically" meant that it just picked one random one for the entire family and went with it. I'll have to redo them. AGAIN.

  HELP 

My skintones dont seem to townify properly, is this problem just me or haveother people been having it? They appear unchanged, no matter what I do.
Does anyone know what is wrong, or at least can relate?

[Jelenedra]

1) This thread is not meant as a tech support for the Wrangler.

2) I'll be nice anyways.

What do you mean by "unchanged" the point of townify feature is not that it will apply to current townies, only that newly spawned townies/NPCs have a chance of being spawned with a custom skintone. For example, if you go into CAS and hit the random button, are the sims being generated with custom skintones? If they are, then it is working as intended.

This could only be expected to happen since jfade closed his website.  This sort of thing is probably happening all over the internet.

[Jelenedra]

Ooooh? How sad.  I coulda sworn that I was just there reading LOLsims.

[Milhouse Trixibelle Saltfucker III]

DJSsims seems to still exist, as I am there right now in another tab. I do believe Khan has spent too much time drinking with his Followers.

[Khan of Wyrms]

So, you can access help in the forums then, Trixie?  My understanding was that they were closed.  Perhaps I am wrong.

[Emma]

No, you are right Khan, they are ACCESS DENIED!

[jolrei]

And so we see that the moral of the story is that one can contemplate hot pants and drink with acolytes without becoming completely distracted and out of touch.

There's a lesson in that for everyone, I think.
