Quick CC tips
Will these hairs work for every age?
Not always. Download the age version named by the creator and never assume an adult mesh includes infant, toddler or child files.
What if a hair looks broken?
Check for a required mesh, remove an older duplicate, and confirm the release still works after the latest game patch. Test new CC in a small folder first.
Build a better Black hair CC folder
Start with one or two styles you know you will use, then organize packages by creator. A smaller, labeled folder makes updates and broken-file testing much easier.
