:director: UPLOADING MY FILES TO THE EXCHANGE OR PAY SITES IS BAD KARMA.

:D MESH: http://www.xmsims.com/sims2/ehtm/hair/hair22.htm

For the Natural Redhead Project (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1470508): 20 recolors/alpha edits of XMSims' hair mesh #37. I know Flora also did a white, but if you export the image files, you will see that I really did a recolor. The alpha edit basically consisted of taking the back length up from waist-length to shoulderblade-length.

These are all color-binned, made with Legacy BodyShop, and grouped in the same family (which means the mesh doesn't "drop" if you switch hair colors).

If you want to download all the colors in one go, they are packed in the "alkaloid_hair_xmmesh37_ALLCOLORS.rar" file. It's the second from the top in the attached files list. If you want to pick and choose, all of the individual hair files have also been packed separately. The colors are listed in the file names. :)

Colors:

Reds: Dark Auburn (with brown eyebrows), Auburn, Titian Red, Ginger, and Strawberry Blonde.
Blonds: Dark Ash Blonde, Beach Blonde, Ash Blonde, Champagne Blonde and Platinum Blonde.
Browns: Dark Brown, Chocolate Brown, Cool Brown and Light Brown.
Blacks: Warm Black (a black with subtle brown highlights) and True Black.
Custom: Olive Drab, Violet, White and Black/Fuschia.

Please don't ask me to remember precisely which grey goes with which natural color. I know I did a white, a silver grey, and a middling warm grey. They roughly correspond to how light or dark the original hair color was. I also did a steel grey for the True Black elder color.

White and Olive Drab have the same color for all ages. White has Blonde eyebrows, and Olive Drab has brown eyebrows.

The Violet color is Ash Blonde for toddlers and children, and is a vaguely lavenderish grey for elders - sort of like those older ladies that have been hitting the Silver Fox a little too hard.

The Black/Fuschia color is Warm Black for toddlers and childen, and is very obviously dyed True Black for elders. :)

Terms of use for my textures/recolors: These files may be redistributed via shared sims, so long as those sims are available in the free section of any site, and I am credited with a link back to my profile on this site. You may not charge money or a membership fee for my files: this includes "donation files" on an otherwise free site, and sites where my files would only periodically be free.

These files may also be shared via Neighborhood 99, so long as I am properly credited.

You may recolor these files and/or use the alpha so long as your derivative works are only posted on free sites as described in the previous paragraph. Additionally, these files are subject to XMSims' recolor policies.

Additional credits: The skintone is an unreleased one by myself. The eyes are by myself, the eye makeup is by Helaene, and the lip color is by Rensim. The eyebrows are the Rensim default replacements.

Clothes are by Maxis.

At first glance I thought these were also male conversions... and I realized how good this hairstyle would be for males too.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for sharing these great recolors with us, I don't think I'd use an XM mesh if it wasn't for all the talented people doing things like this for them. Sorry to say it, but Flora's textures leave alot to be desired...

:) You guys are really sweet.

Except I'm not quite sure what to make of hardwaretoad not liking Flora's textures, since I only did recolors...?
