Then save the package and put it in your mods folder to test.ДЄs you can see, the the hair sits a bit high on the forehead, which I'd try to fix. Also make sure that you've made all the shadow, specular and normal maps blank. Now go into tools, modding and Glass shader (CAS). When you're happy with it you can save the blend file, import it into sims 4 studio. Tsminhsims wrote three amazing tutorials about it here, hereВ and here. Sims 3 hairs are usually a bit too large for sims 4 sims so you might need to scale it a bit. You might have to play around with it a bit to get it to look good. Then move the UV map to the top left corner. Then press s again, then write 0.5 and press enter. Now in the image editor press a to select all, then press s to scale, then y, then write 0.5 and then press enter. Now open the hair texture there and select all in the Edit mode window. If you don't already have image editor open in another window then open a new window and make it into an image editor.

when you only have the sims 4 hair selected, press x and vertices. If the original sims 4 hair isn't already highlighted, deselect all, turn off limit selection to visible and press b and make a selection around ONLY the sims 4 hair. Now press the bar that says 'Object Mode' and press 'Edit Mode'. Then press the sims 3 hair, hold shift and press the sims 4 hair and press ctrl + j to join them. Select the sims 4 hair, press G and move it away. Choose the largest GEOM file of the ones you exported. Now go into the file tab, import and Sims 3/4 GEOM.

If you use Photoshop, make sure your exporting settings look like this: Paste it into the alpha channel of the sims 4 texture and resize it like we did in the RGB channel. Go back into your sims 3 texture and go into the alpha channel and copy it. Make sure everything in the top looks like this now:Дrag the layer into the top left corner and press enter. Make sure the chain icon is dark and change the value of the box to the right of 'W' to 50. Now go back into your sims 4 texture, press the channel called 'RGB' and press ctrl v. Make your colour black and paint all over the canvas so your image is completely black. Go into the channels tab next to layers and press 'Alpha 1'. Now your image should be completely blank. Now open your texture in your image editor. Press export at the texture and export it as a dds. Now choose a hair to use as a base package. Now go into Sims 4 Studio, press CAS, and put all filters to what your hair is supposed to be. Now you should have an image texture and some mesh files. Right click them, hover over export and click 'to file'. Then click the bottom GEOM file, hold shift and click the top one. Press them and find the one that looks like this, right click its name and press 'Save DDS': Now you need to export the texture and the mesh. If it is in a sims3pack format, useВ Delphy's Sims 3 Pack Multi-Extracter to convert it to a package. Photoshop with NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter (or another image editor compatible with DDS files)ДЇirstly you of course need your sims 3 package.
