Hair Resource Folder

[Shade]

So 90% of my hexing experience is petz related. In petz most external textures are either in the Catz resource folder or the Dogz resource folders. Personally it really bugs me when they're not and if I adopt a pet that doesn't have the external files in those folders I usually end up pming the hexer and saying "Hey can I change this location?"

With my adopted babyz I've obviously noticed that in this community the hair textures go in the Cloths folder.

My question is if I started putting my hair textures on the babyz I hexed into a /resource/hair folder if that would create a lot of problems when adopting babyz out? Would having to either change the location or create this new folder cause a lot of irritation for others and I should only do it on babyz I keep or if it wouldn't be an issue.

i know a few people change the locations of their bmps, aleisha 🐭 and Budgie in particular. you definitely would have to either change it back before adopting out a baby or give the new mom a heads up to change it back themselves if they want. you'd also have to change it in the file of almost every new baby you adopt since most people just keep their bmps in the resource folder.

I wasn't going to change the babyz I adopt, I was just going to keep them they way they are. I was just trying to figure out which would be more acceptable when I'm adopting out babyz.

I always just check the hexers rehexing rules to see what they find ok/not ok. Then I'll change the bmp location in a baby I've adopted.

I keep mine in a folder called bmp because I cannot stand having a messy clothes folder! Seeing bmps mixed with clothes just really irks me, plus it makes it easier to swap clothes out.

I just give the people a heads up rather than change it myself otherwise it gets a bit tedious when you're adopting out babyz so often, but it's always nice to change it yourself, I tend to forget until after I've sent them though so I don't haha

So basically, it's not a problem. If you're adopting babyz out then change it back to clothes or just give them a heads up. and if you've adopted a baby from someone else check their rehexing rules or PM them to get the ok!
It's only the top of the babyz file in LNZ, so most people shouldn't have a problem with it

i sort my clothes folder by type, so bmps go to the top & clothes files sink to the bottom so i don't find it hard to find/delete clothes when i'm swapping them out between kids (: just a thought!

My babyz have there own folder e.g. my aspens location is \resource\bmp\aspen\bmpsname.bmp

When I send them on playdates photoshoot or adopt them back out I have to change them back. But I do this in mine so I know what each babyz bmps is.

I've done this in the past but I always find it more irritating than not personally because I usually know the names of textures so when I need one of the Long way home textures for example I just hit the "L" and I go straight there vs when it's sorted into type I'm just as likely to end up in the breedfiles that start with an L.

I don't mind having to change locations in lnz.

I just make all my bmps hidden after I finish hexing so I don't have to look at them. Ha.
It is a pain when sending for photoshoots, so I have to be sure to unhide before zipping, but it works for me.
