UPDATED 6/2/08: Default Replacement Hair and Facial Hair, part 1

[alkaloid]

ETA: UPDATES! So I got a new monitor, and it messed up my hairs, specifically the browns and blacks that I made in the few months before I replaced my monitor. I tried fiddling with my settings to make everything look the way it used to look to me, but the last few recolors just wouldn't cooperate, which means I'm slowly going through and fixing everything (in roughly the order in which they annoy me). Also, since I only make content I want for myself, I am no longer supporting the out-of-date files. When they're gone, they're gone.

6/2/08: replaced female long hair, and male closecropped/toddler kinkypuff.



I hope you're feeling patient, because there are a lot of files here, and it's taken me all week just to set this post up.

I also hope that you're sick to death of EAxis hairs and would like some default replacement hair files! Wooo!

Before making these, I went around to a couple different computers and picked out the colors that were the most consistent, and the most believable with a variety of different skintones. Not every hair color looks good with every skintone, but that's the way life is so I'm really not worried about it.

Beyond that, I focused more on capturing the feel of a head of hair over making sure you can see every last strand. It's the way I like it, and if you also like it, that's great. If you don't, well, I'm not going to make things I don't want for myself.

Extra-huge thanks and smooches to Nouk, Seomi, Louis, Numenor, and the SimPE team. I could not have done this without you and your contributions to the Sims community.

P.S. These are for The Natural Redhead Project!

There really isn't enough good facial hair out there. I don't really have a thing for beards, but I notice when no men have any. It's odd, you know?

The brown and black stubble colors were acceptable (I guess), so I only made recolors for the red, blond and grey colors. I have not released non-default versions of the stubble.

The eyebrows were released before, but I've included them here for convenience's sake. The colors are on the dark side, since eyebrows that are darker than hair look less odd than eyebrows that are lighter than hair. Non-default versions of the eyebrows can be found here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=66268.

Texture is a retexture/recolor of Nouk's armywife hair. Mirror hair replacements included.

ETA 6/2/08: Removed older package and uploaded screenshots of revised package. Changes are due to a monitor replacement on my part (it was seriously ancient).

Seriously, I can't think of anything to say here. Eh. Non-default versions of this hair are available here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=61910.

Same textures as the male package. You can download non-default versions of this hair here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=49856.

Original texture by Seomi. This is the texture from her "Princess Blond" hair; the mesh she used for the princess hair uses the basegame fuzzylong hair for children and teens, so I'm pretty sure this is OK by her ToU.

Non-default versions of the Princess hair are available here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=66514. Recolors of the original Princess hair are here: http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=65140.

Anyway. These are not my textures. Please visit Seomi's site and follow her ToU for use of these textures.

This hair uses Louis' alpha for the Sohma Shigure hair, with new textures.

I didn't retexture this one, since the mesh and the alpha do a pretty good job of bringing this hair together, despite the EAxis texture.

This is the hair that made me decide that a default replacement package was in order. It was so interesting, but the development team still managed to make it look like it had been drawn with crayons.

This package covers the male "closecropped" and toddler "kinkypuff" hairs, since they use the same textures. I have no idea why they did it that way. ETA: new default package has a flat bumpmap, since my video card does not handle bumpmaps, and I added a bit of a fade up the back.

ETA 6/2/08: Replaced default replacement package.

Besides the color adjustment, I cleaned up the stubble. Mirror hairs included. The rainbow hair isn't pictured - I made it blond with leopard print stubble.

Like the female mohawks, these feature cleaned-up stubble in addition to color correction. Mirror hairs included.
