Is there a way to change eyebrow color for custom hair?
Zythe:
Using DatGen's hairtoner, you can assign it a genetics bin, which means blonde hair can now be recognised as blonde hair and get blonde eyebrows. You can also change eyebrow colours with SimPE, by editting genetics, and through the in-game mirror, under change appearance :)
ZephyrZodiac:
Remember, too, that not everyone who has blond hair has blond eyebrows! My hair was always fair, though my eyebrows are midbrown, and though my hair has now gone naturally almost white, my eyebrows haven't changed at all.

How, exactly? I know where the DNA information is in SimPE but I don't know which string to edit to change the eyebrow color.

I don't know much about using Datgen. I downloaded it but I couldn't figure out how to really use it to make changes, although I did open my neighborhood and look through the characters.
As for changing eyebrow colors in SimPE, I did this with a couple of characters, and you have to open the Sim's actual file. Depending on the version of SimPE you are using, you can copy the path and filename by right clicking on it in the grey area above the sim's description, or in the new SimPE, you can click Open sim's character file in the extended menu I think, I don't have it open right now, but it's the icon at the end. Under Material Definition, you'll see several files, depending on whether the sim was generated in CAS or born in game. They pertain to different life stages. You'll see that one has grey hair and eyebrows, so that is for Elder. Now this is a bit complicated and I'm not sure how to explain it, but I just bungled my way through and it worked for two babies I changed. I changed everywhere I saw the color I wanted to change to the new color. There are some tabs as well above that area, and I changed those too, everywhere I saw the unwanted color. If I get a chance, I'll try to go back and do it and write a little better instructions, and maybe I can get some screenshots. I've always found it easier to do stuff than to tell others how, ::) When I loaded the game, the baby had the right color eyebrows. I had changed her haircolor from black to red in her genetics since her father was a redhead and her mother had black hair with a recessive red gene. :)
You have to change all the strings for every life stage that there is a Material Definition for in the file.
Karen:
Thanks. Now I just have to test it to see if the changed colors are automatically passed down to the babies, or if you have to fix the babies' eyebrow colors in SimPE after they are born.
