Hair and hair colours
Hair colours makes new variants of a hairstyle in the colours you choose. You see each colour on the ped before anything is created.
Open the panel
Open Hair in the category rail and choose the hairstyle.
Press Hair colours in the inspector. Only garments in Hair have that button.
Under Made from, choose which of the hairstyle’s variants the colours are made from. It is the same choice as the variant selected in the inspector.
Choose colours
Click a colour to see the hair in it on the ped. Click it again, or Stop showing, to see the real texture.
Tick the colours you want. They come in two groups: Natural, eleven hair colours from black to white, and Other with blue, pink, green and purple.
For another colour, type a hex code such as #7d5636 or choose it with the colour picker, and press Add colour. It goes under Own colour.
Create the variants
Press Create variants. Each ticked colour becomes a new variant of the same hairstyle, and the variant you started from is left alone. All the new variants are one step in the history.
Good to know
A garment can have at most 26 variants, one for each letter from a to z. If you tick more colours than there is room for, the panel says how many more fit.
What it costs
Hair colours cost 10 credits for every 4 colours or part of 4 on each garment: up to 4 colours cost 10 credits, and the next 4 the same again. The credits are charged when the export succeeds, and what you have already paid for is not charged again.
Tip
Trying colours on the ped costs nothing. Try as many as you like and tick only the ones you want to keep.
