How To: Change Hair Number
For Penumbra, use the item swap guide.
This method is better than the changing item or raw model copying functions in Textools, as it maintains metadata used for more modern hairs!
Note: This guide will only work for advanced modpacks, which look like this:
Select your races, as usual, and hit finish.
Tick "Change destination items" for races you want to change, and press "Choose new item"!
Note: you will need to change the hair number for every race individually.Race identifiers:
Mid male - c0101
Mid female - c0201
High male - c0301
High female - c0401
Elezen male - c0501
Elezen female - c0601
Miqo Male - c0701
Miqo Female - c0801
Roe Male - c0901
Roe Female - c1001
Lala Male - c1101
Lala female - c1201
AuRa male - c1301
AuRa female - c1401
Hrothgar - c1501
Viera - c1801
Find the new hair number you're looking to replace instead!
Remember to match the race identifier.
Press "Continue" after you're done!

Loose Files Troubleshooting
File Name Error
Rename your texture file if it has funky/special characters in it! (Like 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖘 or ♥).
Make sure you are using the correct file
- For brow/lash color using files provided by the sculpt creator, make sure you are using files with "dye" or "multi" in the name.
- If you have an overlay, please follow this guide instead!
Still not working?
Feel free to ask me for help in my Discord server.

Work on textures in real-time
Every time you hit "Finished", it will re-export the texture and auto-redraw for you!
So that means you can make changes to your texture and save it, and automatically get changes in game.
