trouble with binning hair still
Indiasong:
I have just realised that datgen doesn't work with seasons, it gives empty packages. At least the old datgen I scrounged up after my usual got corrupted.
Since no-one answered my squeals for help, I started using simpe, which is a lot more tedious, but works. I have realised today that the new-old datgen when it worked before seasons made only adult hair and disabled the rest.
But, if you're still there, i have a new problem: when I look at the binned hair in bodyshop, it says black even though it is in the red bin. What am i doing wrong?
I open the file in the right bin, have only compress checked in options, so it keeps the same name.
Edit: I have modified this opening the files in Simpe, and realised I could do it by manually editing before saving in options. One more step to add.
Unless I'm missing something?
Edit 2: if I try to modify while binning, all the packages will have the same name(the one that appears while hovering)

Well, there's another way you can do it. You'd only be able to bin ONE hair at a time.
For instance, bin the black, go to options, copy the GUID, save the hair.
Bin the brown, go to options, paste the GUID for black, save the hair.
The GUID keeps the colors linked - if a sim's wearing the black, and you decide they should be a redhead, they'll be wearing that style if you hit the red button on the hair section. It also lets you kill all the extra elder recolors if you want and only use one.
I don't find that I need custom descriptors for my recolors, as long as the description gives me a vague idea of what hair it is. I can see the color for myself, I don't need to be told! :) So I bin mine all together, and forget to remove anything mentioning specifically to colors half the time. I have tons of hairs with text claiming them to be black now...I'm pretty lazy.
Indiasong:
Yes, I figured I had to do that... Is this where I moan about the one click datgen?

No, this is where you trot off to Theo's Shack and pick up the Color Binning Tool.
Quinctia:
I think we're talking about the binning tool.
I was, anyway!
