Look at this, EA. You don't need to remake all textures, you just need to give us overall brightness/saturation/hue sliders and we're set!

btw thanks op

... ... Do these -really- work with any maxis match CC hair?! Does not work on most Maxis match CC.

This may be the single greatest mod for the game since release. Does not work on most EA hairs.

You, sir have won the entire internet. Admin, please feature this! No version for children or toddlers.

Needs a bit of tweaking. But for the few hairstyles it works on (very few) it works wonders.

Not to mention how comically red the red hair is. I've been dying for a nice rusty red and sandy blonde, but loathed the idea of trying to find recolours for all the SPs, GPs, EPs, and the 50+ CC hairs I have x.x

I was just lamenting last night how the game doesn't have anything resembling a dark blonde or light golden brown shade. This might end up being my new favorite mod!

That's exactly the problem, it's like 30 downloads and still doesn't touch any CC hairs. This would be so much easier if it worked on more than like, 3 male hairs :\

I don't suppose there's a way to have this copy over to your sim's bathing outfit is there?

feels a bit weird when my sim with olive green hair suddenly turns into a redhead in the shower xD

This is marvelous. I especially like the streaking ones. I've always want to do fun colours on my sims but hate that it changes the genetics, now I can do so without worry. Thanks so much for sharing.

Do you think there could ever be a chance of the highlights being thinner, and/or applying it to the lower portion of the hair rather than the upper? Because there have been many times where I'll think "I'll give this sim some extra color by tossing in some funky highlights!!" But then the highlights end up taking up nearly half of the whole hair, which is a lot more than I want some sims to have. And in real life, I actually have colored hair, specifically magenta, but only the bottom half is colored. From the top of the color to the roots is just my natural brown, making it look almost dip-dyed, and there's no way really to apply that to a sim, sadly, which I would love to do if I could!

Do note that these are just suggestions and feedback, not demands for something you have to do or something. I just think it'd be really cool to expand this a bit! But if you can't, that's totally fine!

Thanks for this, it is very useful for one of my sims! Unfortunately, said sim is now a vampire and I've come across an issue. I can't select the accessory for vampires in either form, or aliens in alien form. It's not in the accessory list no matter what filters I choose. Oddly enough, if you apply the accessory before being turned into a vampire you will keep the accessory equipped properly, yet it doesn't appear in the accessory list at all. I removed all mods except this one and tested it on new cas sims, same result.

Can you upload a version that works for vampires? I am no good with modding.

It doesn't show up at all for me. I have all four installed.
Is this just because it's outdated?

Just saw this and grabbed it because I have been leaning towards just using clay hair instead off cc hair lately due to crappy lap top declining in health. I have edited the occult's in sims 4 studio and enabled it for nude outfit also..maybe if you don't mind I can share it with others if they ask for it since you have been awol. Awesome idea though...maybe I can tinker with it a little bit more :P

Yes it still works. I downloaded it last night. I've unflagged cas parts in sims4studio for vampires and aliens so it will now show up. I was pondering to unflag to allow children and toddlers but it took awhile to edit each file just for occults. But if anyone is interested in the file let me know and I'll upload it here as I'm sure the creator won't mind since they haven't posted in a year. I have the newest patch and updated sims4studio so it will work for everyone. I can edit and allow for children and toddlers if anyone wants it but I'm not going to even attempt it if no one responds

Edit: Here is the file for anyone who wants their aliens and vampires to be able to use this. Tested and works in my game and was surprised at being able to use it on some cc hair as well as RedheadSims hairs(my favorite for ethnic hairs).
I haven't changed the names so just extract the folders from inside the zip and plop them in ur mods and let it override the original files, there should be 4 files in total.Hopefully the creator won't mind that I edited it. I can't take credit as all I did was edit the cas parts for occults in s4studio that was initially obstructed If their are any problems let me know.

Thanks a lot for this mod and thank you too Risiera for your upload. I don't like EA's yellowish-blonde, but I don't want to end-up with a DL per hairstyle. I can't wait to try this in my game
