CC4 hair animation is not importing to Unreal Engine 5.6

I’m exporting Smart Hair from CC4 to Unreal Engine 5.6. It looks great, but it’s not animating at all in UE5. It is animating correctly in CC4.

I’ve followed every tutorial I can find but I just can’t get it to work. The weirdest thing is that I did manage to do it somehow a couple of years ago, but I can’t remember what I did. :slight_smile: Those hair meshes still animate perfectly on my character in UE5, but if I re-export the same hair meshes from CC4 and import them into UE5, they’re just static.

Hello,
I haven’t done much with UE for a while, but I tried it and it works.
If you click on Simulate, you can see an animation of the hair.
However, UE 5.61
A little further down, you can also change the Cloth Blend Weight. See photos.
