Default First time trying to make alpha hair using Blender, the hair looks glitched ingame
Oke so I've been all over reddit and a few other places looking for help with this but I can't seem to find a solution, someone sent me here to ask for help

Basically, I am super new to Blender, and I made my first attempt at an alpha hair, the model looks kinda bad cause its my first. I have no experience and there are almost no resources to learn and I only got this far because I followed a few tutorials I found on YouTube.

In Blender and in Sims4Studio, it honestly looks fine, I believe, but in game it seems to have chunks of skin color showing underneath the hair texture, so it's not transparent. All other CC hairs look fine and I have laptop mode off because I know that causes issues with alpha hairs.

Here are some screenshots.

In Game:

Blender:

S4S:

If needed, I'll post the Blender file or the package so it can be diagnosed, just lemme know. I've asked so many different subreddits and looked all over for help, this is literally my last solution :c

You need to set the mesh shader to SimGlass for all meshes to enable transparency in game. I've attached pics for CAS Tools and S4S showing where the setting is.
