Recolor issue [solved] Apr 9, 2015 18:49:28 GMT -5

Hello!

Since the update I've been unable to add extra recolors to custom content. I was directed towards this tutorial: www.sims4studio.com/thread/397/create-standalone-recolor-custom-content?page=1 but even doing what it says, the hair I'm currently trying to recolor shows up bald:

Any help would be kindly appreciated! Thanks!

CAS recolors need to be 1024x2048 in size and need to be saved as a DDS in DXT5 format (or DXT5/BC3 in GIMP).
	Please do not PM me with modding questions. Post in the Creator Help forum.

I tried just cloning the hair without adding my recolor and the hair still showed up bald.
