And I don't like Theo's plugin. I don't get how to use it and binning manually is just easier for me anyway....
It's actually very easy to use. Unfortunately, explaining the process is much more difficult than actually doing it. :p
Yeah. I don't know how to do it the old fashioned way. I could learn, but that would take effort. I didn't even glance at the directions. Just play with it.

I've tried to use Theo's plug-in before many times, and have managed to fail spectacularly each time, somehow. Things have either ended up in the wrong color, or just not working at all.
Doing it manually is very easy, and you only have to change a few values.

Peggy and Raon bin and even family-link their hair these days. I should know, I'm a junkie. But I agree with everyone that binning is a priority with hair. I only download hair if it has the four shades and one elder, and I get rid of the rest. Some creators don't do one elder color in white, but all four colors. A dye-job, so to speak... but myself I prefer my elders to have white hair. Quick identification when you see them in comm lots :P

I never even bother to check if hair I download is binned. I just re-bin it to make sure it's done right. I'm very picky.
I guess I'm picky, too, because I spent some time re-binning hairs to go where *I* thought they should go. My idea of what should be binned as brown and blonde shades are a little different from some of the creators out there. ;) But bless them for binning it at all!

Oh gosh, yeah. Binning hairs is actually one of the things I don't mind doing, because it was the first thing I ever learned how to do in SimPE. So I really don't get why so many don't. And is it really that hard, when binning a set, to remove all but one of the grey recolors? Or to take out the repeat meshes for toddlers and children when the hair is for teen-elder only? I don't know how many times I've downloaded a hair that claimed to be "color-binned!" only to find that I have four grey colors and a repeat of a toddler hair that came with the base game. So I have to open up the hair file, pull out the useless parts, and (even though it makes absolutely no difference) fix the creator, flag, and product values so it shows up without the star.
And I don't like Theo's plugin. I don't get how to use it and binning manually is just easier for me anyway....
I still need to figure out what parts I can safely remove from the hair files. I have several hairs that are all ages, and most of them look pretty darn silly on toddlers/children. And the repeat toddler files are present in some as well. I'm going to re-read the tut's, pick a guinea pig file, and see if I can manage to remove the right stuff.
I haven't used the plug-in yet. The instructions confuse me a little. I guess I'll just have to dive in headfirst and see if I can figure it out as I use it. If not, no big deal. Manual binning will work just fine for me!
