Is there a way to change eyebrow color for custom hair?
RainbowTigress:
It looks like the numbers are the same for brown, red, and grey. Is this correct? How does the game know the difference?

It's 4 for red and 5 for grey. I do this with all my custom colours so they appear in the normal section instead of custom (they still have the asterisk, so you can recognise them). I just wish I could find out how to change hair that comes a little lower down on the body. I use crammyboy's penis hack, but when I change the hair colour it doesn't change the hair on the actual skin, above the 'part that matters', just what's below it, which looks rather peculiar. It only really dawned on me when I got that hack that all the replacement default nude skins I've tried have brown pubic hair.

To avoid this problem, open up your custom hair in SymPe & click on the Propert Set. Make sure it's the Plugin view. Look for the line that says Proxy. You need to change that value to match what the hair color actuall is so the custom hair will get the correct colored eyebrows.
00000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 for Black
00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 for Brown
00000003-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 for Blond
00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 for Red
00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 for Grey
Click commit & then save the hair. Check all of your custom hair because a lot of people making custom hair do not even know they have to change this value if they are making as you say a black hair into a brown hair.
Once the Proxy value is correct the genetics will work properly.
Thanks, I'll try that. I tried Rainbow's method described above but it doesn't really do what I was looking for.

What I described was more for fixing sims already born if you want to change their genetic hair color and have their eyebrows match.

I tried changing the proxy value to my custom hair color, dcbf7a8f-4cbe-9f9a-d352-d18d3a79c17a. There was no effect on my Sims in the neighborhood, but the custom hair disappeared from both the in-game CAS and the Change Appearance screen. As soon as I changed the proxy back to the standard brown 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000, the custom hair was available again.
After playing around with the hair files in SimPE, I have come to the conclusion that what I want to do (have the eyebrows show up as a custom color that matches the custom hair) is not possible, at least with the current tools. You *can* change the eyebrow color, but only to the standard black, brown, blond, or red. So if you have a Sim with light brown hair, there is no way to make light brown eyebrows to match, which is what I was trying to do.
If anybody has any other ideas, please let me know. Otherwise I think I'm going to give it up for now. Thanks to everybody who tried to help.
