More dreads! These are recolors of melodie9's all-ages version of the Maxis mesh. I couldn't use the same exact textures that I used for my other dreads (long and dreadfully boring story), but I think I've come close-ish. Part of the Natural Redhead Project (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1470508).

These are all color-binned and made with Legacy BodyShop.

Colors:

Reds:

The elder states for the 4 natural color bins have various appropriate shades of grey. Auburn is binned in red with brown eyebrows, and Strawberry Blond is binned in blond with red eyebrows. The custom colors are all-ages.

If is amazing what a difference the textures make! This is great because I never used this hair style much since the old Maxis textures were so ghastly. That was too bad since it is such a fun mesh with great animations.

:blob6: Simply amazing! I love the new thumbnails you are doing for the uploads. Quite elegant!

I noticed you are putting the strawberries in the blond bin Is that to pickup up for the paler eyebrows?

There doesn't seem to be a good solution for the strawberry blond binning thing. I moved the strawberry blond to blond because the strawberry blond looked like I stuck a blond in the red bin, which is just an invitation to have people delete the file in CAS. At least the red tones are easier to see when it's next to a bunch of other blond shades.

They should still be pulling up red eyebrows and facial hair. (Like the dark auburn pulling up brown eyebrows, even though it's in the red bin.)


Title: Awesome work!
