Changing hairstyles would be considered a mod. Mods are made by altering the original graphic within a graphic program you have on your computer. So any new hairstyle you want in your game would be created by you. One word of caution though. The game uses files that have a transparent background, meaning there really is no background. If you do not save the transparent background, you will end up with something like this:


Some programs will either not save the transparency or you may need to look for the option to save the transparency. That all depends on what program you are using. Unfortunately, we would not be able to help you with that. You would have to look at the product "Help" files to figure out how to do that.

Good luck! grin

I can tell you one thing, though: Microsoft Paint does NOT allow transparency. I found that out the hard way. laugh

This is very true, Krystal. MS Paint does not save the transparency. I too have made that mistake in years past. smile

The one thing I forgot to suggest is that you make a backup copy of the original file BEFORE you make changes to it. That way, you can just simply replace your altered file with the original and you are back to where you were before you did anything. No harm, no foul.
