Title: How do I properly package hair files for upload?
Post by: Jelenedra on 2006 March 18, 20:12:45
Okay, so far all I have done is create sims. I make plently of custom clothes and hair to go with them, but as for preparing for upload JUST hair or JUST clothes... I haven't the slightest clue.

So, how do I properly package these files for upload without having to attach a sim to them?
Especially if I want to package some hair colors all together?

Go into your The Sims 2 folder and find SavedSims, they will have odd names, but you should be able to tell what they are if you name your projects smartly.

You can safely delete them, I've done it before but it's been so damned long I forgot how to tell which is which. There's tutorials and threads about it at MTS2 and Quaxi's place.

This is another pet peeve of mine, if someone is making a custom hair for only one age range for Christ's sake delete the other ones! They clog up the pages when browsing for custom hair and they waste a lot of space because those textures are big and just copies of the Maxis ones.

I figured it out thanks to dewshine's tutorial. ^_^ I was forgetting to delete the property set for the unwanted ages so they kept getting textures of 1's and 0's.  ::)

And I figured out how to properly family the hairstyles on datgen, but I don't think I am going to bother going back and doing it on all my custom hair. It would take to long.  :P

Now I just have to wait for MTS2 to approve it!  ;D
