Misc Hairstyles for Frosty
I got permission from Anto, Newsea(free hairs only), Nightcrawler and SonyaSims to port some of their lovely Sims hairstyles into Dragon Age Inquisition.
I will update this page as I port more hair.
You can find list of all ported hairstyles from articles section!
Fbproject can be found from optional files if you are looking into making your own Sims 4 hair mods with original Sims 4 textures. You will need permission from The Sims 4 modder before using their work. I will not give you consent to use my files if you fail to have that.
How to use Frosty hair mods that have custom texture:
They look wrong in CC, normal once you exit. Unless you use Hair H and Hair Texture Slider mod! This mod has a conflict with my hair mods, and it is supposed to override mine to work properly
? You can have only ONE custom hair texture mod active at the time!
Unless it is a modder that does custom hairs differently to me and replaces another texture
? Why do all my custom hair texture mods replace the same texture?
Because we cannot add new assets, so finding unused, base game bundle texture was a bit of a challenge. If it was something else than basegame bundle, these would need to be bundle mods that would have compatibility issues and stability problems. Now it works everywhere, cause the texture is already loaded with basegame bundle, that is loaded to all areas of the game
? Why do not these mods show up in CC or Black Emporium mirror with correct texture?
It is because these textures do not have morph files, so I had to borrow another textures morphs. This is also why you must ALWAYS choose the custom texture hair mod in CC, before exiting it, to your character if you have installed one. Choose a non custom texture hair, that is using the texture that's morph files I borrowed, and now it makes that hair use The sims 4 textures, this won't work cause both have a very different UV mapping.
This is also why my mod does not make NPC have weird hair, all NPC have their morph files already made so this does not consider them, with the exception of CUSTOM HAWKE, but more about Hawke later
? Why could you not just replace some regular texture that has morph files?
Cause all of them were used by NPC already as beard or hair textures, meaning that if I replaced that texture, it would change the look of all of these NPCS also who use the same texture.
? How do NPCs hair look that use the same hair as Custom hair retexture mod?
Like your player character, I have edited multiple files to make sure that correct texture is loaded for all NPC who use the same hair, despite their morphs.
? What if you decide mid playthrough that you don't want to use custom texture hair mod anymore?
Just uninstall it and go to Black Emporium, it will morph your hair back to use vanilla texture
? Can I install Custom hair retexture mod mid playthrough?
YES, but you need to visit Black Emporium for the correct texture to get applied to hair
? Sometimes human females default pajama hands disappear with when using some new frosty mods, including these custom hair files.
There is fix for it in optional section, just load it last. It should help with fixing invisible arms with other mods too
? Textures look a bit darker with custom hairs, so choose lighter color in CC to get more of the tone you wish
? NPC hair textures will look fine, like they are supposed to. Only difference being custom Hawke depending on what hair you choose for them.
If you want Custom Hawke, you need to give them a hairstyle that uses different texture than one I borrowed the morph file from: For wavy_thick (Some hairs that use this texture: 47, G, K, M) when use Hair PC custom texture versions, or straight_thick (some hairs that use this texture: 52, D, DB, E, N, P, PB, PC, Q) if you use Hair H version OR alternatively just use "Hair H and Hair Texture Slider"-mod by Dmitrias.
Do you use any slider mods? If no, then you need hair H to be in Character Creator, I have uploaded a file that enables that.
Do you use only Dmitrias' mod? You don't need anything else but the actual hair file from this page them.
If you choose DEFAULT HAWKE without entering to CC, they will have vanilla hair texture anyway, cause they already have their morph made
? If you do NOT intend to use Dmitrias' mod: Only use hair with custom texture if you intend to use it for your character!
If you have custom textures hair mod ON and you choose ANOTHER hairstyle, it will look bad when you exit CC
? Hair mods that replace hair H need a mod that adds hair H to Character Creator. I have included a file "Hair H added to character creator" that you can find from optional files so you would have access to hair H that is normally not in there
How to use Frosty hair mods in general
From here you can view how vanilla hairstyles look and are named so you know what hairs are being replaced
? Use with ULTRA mesh settings --> I only replaced lod 0
If you won't do this, your new hair will be only visible in cutscenes
? You need the newest Frosty Mod Manager
Older versions do no support Frosty mesh mods, meaning: They do not work
? Do NOT use with hair retexture mods! This will at worst ruin UV mapping and at best just look bad
One reason I do not do vanilla hair texture mods anymore is this, It is bothersome that I spend long time giving new UV map to hair only for it to be ruined with hair retexture mod.Hair retexture mods compliment beautifully vanilla hair but many of The Sims 4 ports relay on those fine hair strands that vanilla hair texture has. Loading The Sims 4 hair mod with hair retexture makes bits that are supposed to be tiny wisps look like massive chunks
? Should work in all DLCs
? You need Black Emporium DLC installed for these hair mods to function
? What does HF, EF, DF etc mean?
HF = Human female, EF= Elf female, DF = Dwarf female, QF= Qunari female, HM = Human male, EM = Elf male, DM = Dwarf male, QM = Qunari male
Solas and Vivienne hair mods
Because Solas or Vivienne do not normally have hair, you will need extra file called Chargen Bundle for them to work in all areas of the game
? You cannot use Chargen Bundle with most of the other bundle mods unless they add this same bundle in them. My old Character Swap mods are incompatible with Chargen Bundle , Padme4000 has multiple character swap mods now that are compatible with Chargen Bundle
? You can use Solas hair mods with Custom texture hair mods but NOT Vivienne hair mods that I have uploaded on this page since they use the same texture
Troubleshooting tips
? You get infinite load, why?
Most likely your have daimod and Frosty mod conflict. Remove all daimods and try again, if it works now, you need to sort through your daimods to find the culprit
? You do not use daimods but there is still infinite load?
Most likely a mod conflict, check Frosty mod managers conflicts tab to make sure there are no unwanted conflicts and sort them out
OR you could be trying to use retextures for companion outfits (Solas casual) etc, Frosty hates those, so do not do it.
Frosty hates: all dalish outfit retextures, companion outfit retextures
? Still getting infinite load after doing all the steps above?
You might have too many big texture mods. Remove some and try again. There is no official limit to how many texture mods you can use but at some point many start noticing that their game does not start anymore, there are no conflicts visible in Frosty but after you remove some random texture mod it works again.
This does not mean that there was anything wrong with that texture mod, it maybe was just too much for your computer to handle
? You get crash when you import mod to Frosty?
If it is packed (has rar. in the end), unzip it with winrar or similar program and try importing it again
