Default Elder hair conversion
I'm having one Hell of a time trying to convert Adult hair to Elder hair.

Backstory: I downloaded a hair off XM Sims for males and wanted to retexture it. The rextexture bit is going fine. But realized the Elder hair doesn't look remotely the same, like the artists didn't bother to create the Elder stage. I thought if I just renamed the textures / alphas, it would work but Bodyshop poops itself.

So the point is, do I need to go into SimPE and convert mesh information or something for Elders? Or is the way I'm doing it correct and I'm just fudging it up somewhere?

If Elders have exact same size/shape of head as Adults, then I would think you could just go into SimPE and change the age category to make it available for Elders as well. But don't quote me on that. Maybe someone who has age-converted hair like this could chime in...

That would certainly make my life easier, haha. I hope someone drops by and lets us know if that's the case.

So..I was around, and decided to drop by.
I`d say as Fakepeeps said. I do not think the elder head is made bigger or smaller than the adult one, and I would just edit the age category. try it..and see what it gives. It is too easy to just go back to it and change it back to adult only, if it is not to your likings.

I was able to modify the value and get the hair working for elders! For some reason when I imported the hair, it unbinned it all. But at least the ages are correct now.

Edit: Gave up on trying to bin grey hair. It'll just have to sit in Custom hair for elders. At least that's an option. And hey, I got it to show up for Elders in general, even if it is the Custom section.

Edit again: Was able to properly bin the elder hair! To summarize, I was able to correctly bin hair after import, convert hair to Elder and bin it for Elder, too.
