Hi there!

I need your help with one thing, as I'm struggling deciding what to do.

I re-imported all the textures (so that they work with the colour slider), and that made the file reach 500mb. After doing this, I made a second collection of textures without scalp texture, because Eivor's hair needs to be without it so the shaved side looks good.

The issue is that this would be a 1gb of textures, when the only difference between the collections would be that one has scalp texture and the other doesn't.

After having the hair finished with this second collection, I thought it was too much, so instead I made the packages again from scratch, but using the chromatic collection 1 AND updating this one to be without scalp texture, so you'd need to select scalp texture later in game. I'd make it as another accessory, but since s4 is so limited with 1-item-per-category in CAS, I ended up being so confused about what to do here.

So, to sum up, 2 chromatic collections, around 500mb each, only difference is one has scalp and the other doesn't. 

Or, updated chromatic collection 1, 500mb, plus extra scalp textures collection, which wouldn't have 100 colours as, dark reds, brunettes, and blacks have pretty similar colours so I'd reduce a lot the number of scalp colours, making the file waaaaay smaller, and with the option that you can pick any scalp texture you like, in case you prefer other than mine.

I will leave this poll open for the night (Spain time), and tomorrow (in around 11h) I will finish and upload the version that wins the poll. Sorry for the delay with the hair but these texture changes drive me crazy 🙈

I’d say two collections : one with and one without. This way people can also de die what they prefer :)

Personally I am good with whatever even though I did vote. Don’t feel bad for taking a bit longer than planned you’re providing us with something incredible and should take as much time as you need, thank you for all your hard work!☺️

I do understand your frustration with this. You put in so much time and effort and want it to be perfect and what people would actually WANT to use. Truth be told, I am not in favor of two Chromatic Collections AT ALL, 1 GB is a LOT esp. for something you do not use a lot, even if you create more hairs that show scalp texture. Those hairs would be "special" in a way, not your typical Sim, so I feel an accessory version of the scalp would make the most sense. I can already see though that that's likely the one that will win. Ooof.

I don't really get it sorry, but I'm not a fan of those new colour sliders and I already have about 80gb worth of cc, so if your files grow larger I won't be able to use them in my game anymore.

to me, the most sense would be to have it as an accessory, So that more of the community can share in your wonderful hairs. Then like you said we can choose. In the end, you need to do what is best for you and your product. Thank you for all your hard work

Whatever you think is best I’m still going to use it 😁can’t wait thank you so much for all your amazing work

You provide the best shade range out there, and the thought of loosing colors, especially reds, is something I'd rather not have happen.

TBH I haven't even began to use your chromatic collection, It makes it hard when I have to search for CC to take the extra time to go through every single color to see which ones fit the best after spending an hour or so figuring out which hair I am going to use in the beginning I had to take a lot of your hairs out of my game sadly because your file is becoming very large. So now I have to pick and choose which ones Are my favorite. I wish some of the hairs just came with streaks in them. So if it is to much for you to create a larger file for them I would suggest doing what's easiest for you, But by looking at the vote, My say might not matter anyway. Maybe try putting a merged file together of all your CC so that it may be smaller on our comps. Just a suggestion tho. And Thank you for your continues creations that are wonderful!

I recently just found your hairs and I adore them all! I constantly am using them with all my sims. At the end of the day I just appreciate all the love and dedication you do to your craft and don't mind a larger file size. That's what my external hdd is for anyways. Thank you for all that you do!

hi! i love your hair and am happy i suscribed. the only problem i have is the chroma hair with two colours. one side isn't there and black. im not sure what i am missing.

Jessica

do you add the additional colours in hats category. Once you have the base hair (the one with a black side) you can find the other side in a separate category. Hope that helps
