Is there a way to change eyebrow color for custom hair?
Karen:
When you create custom hair in Body Shop, the eyebrow color seems to be determined by the hair color that you cloned the custom hair from. For example, if you take a black hair style, clone it, change the color to light brown, and import it into Body Shop, any Sims you create with the new hair style will have light brown hair, but black eyebrows.
Is there any way to recolor the eyebrows to match the custom hair? What I'm looking for is a way to change it permanently in the Sim DNA so that the matching eyebrow color will be inherited along with the custom hair color. That way you would be able to tell by the eyebrow color if a baby has inherited a custom hair style/color, long before the baby grows into a toddler.
Any ideas, or is this just not possible right now?

I think you can change this on a permanent basis with SimPE, but I'm not sure how. I do have custom hair tones with correct color eyebrows so it's possible.
On a case-by-case basis, you can change their eyebrows to a custom (matching) one when you create the Sim.

But would this become part of the DNA, i.e. something that could be passed down to future generations?
I tried once to recolor eyebrows in Body Shop and could not figure out how to do it. I could change the shape but not the color. (I don't have any problem recoloring other things in Body Shop.)

I *think* it will be genetic if you do it when you create them. I can't recall offhand though if I've seen it happen or not.

I've had a problem with exporting eyebrows because no matter what color I export, it always exports black and grey eyebrows. I wanted to export brown, blonde, and red so I could paste them into a new file and have matching eyebrows for my custom elder hair. It always bugged me that the game would not allow elders to dye their hair, so I learned how to export adult hair and make it available to elders as a custom style. But their eyebrows would still be grey and it looked horrible. Morague made a spreadsheet with all the files in the Sims package files, and I thought if I could find the graphic file the eyebrows used, I could just paste that in, but the eyebrows were too sparse and they didn't show up very well. They certainly didn't look like they normally do for an adult. So I am very confused as to how the game creates other color eyebrows besides black and grey. It seems based on what hair color is selected, and with elders, you can only select grey or custom. Facial hair seems to work the same way, and I have a male redhead about to turn into an elder, and I have his hairstyle as a custom style he can use, but I cannot figure out how to do his sideburns other than trying to color the grey ones as closely as I can to the red in the hair. But this is a time-consuming process and it is difficult to tell if the color matches closely enough until you load up the game. I've tried looking all over MTS2, and there is nothing I can find about this.
