Okay, so this has always been a huuuuuge pet peeve of mine since like, day one of creating a character in The Sims 4. By default, the order of EAs swatches starts with black hair. For me that always made it way too hard to see any sort of details on the hair.
Jump to the cut for a sort of TL;DR. I’m a rambler, sorry.
Sure, you can change to a blonde or just a lighter color until you find the hair that fits your sim. But if you’re like me and have hairs the don’t use EAs 18 colors, as soon as you click back to a hair that does you’re back to black hair. It’s such a little thing but drove me crazy! So, I changed it.
I also use pyxiidis’ Witching Hour colors as my defaults, and wanted the extra colors all merged into one happy little file. So what was originally just a small nit picky fix turned into me fiddling around with files for a week straight. Also, mentioned it in a couple communities and hey! It seems like I’m not the only one bothered by this! Which makes me spending a week fighting with the random gender conversion issue a little less meaningless 😅
I want to throw a HUGE thank you out to pyxiids for the original swatches and recolors as well as the fine folks at witchingreblogs for taking the time to apply the palette to all of the default hairs. It’s saved me a heck of a lot of time being able to use those recolors instead of having to recolor every. single. hair. myself to get the exact same results. I’ve used these existing overrides and their textures to reorder the swatches and create these reordered files. Please, go give them some love if you download these. They deserve it 💖
An important thing to note is that I don’t have all of the EPs, GPs, and SPs. Right now I’ve just uploaded the replacements for the games I have. When I can get other ones, I’ll for sure be updating this but for now, this is what I’ve got. Remember this was originally just for my own use. The other thing is for whatever reason that is currently beyond my figuring out, some of the hairs that are available for both male and female frames refuse to order the swatches all together. if the hair is typically male it shows the swatches in the order I put them, all 36 in a gradient. On the opposite gender it still haves all 36 colors, but it shows the 18 EA swatches first, then the Witching Hour extras. I don’t know why, and I’m over trying to fix it at this point 😂
