hat_plays_sims | HAIR DUMP VI: RETURN OF HAIR DUMP

I think I've actually missed doing these! Sorta. And hey, lookit, I finally made a title card for these things!

Since there are a zillion downloads inside the cut, the boilerplate goes outside the cut, so...

NO PAYSITES. Mesh creators' policies may vary, but Pooklet says no and these are her actions.

PRAISE BE UNTO: Nouk and HP, whose meshes are well-represented here today, as well as Peggy, Aligeth, and Death over on XM Sims, likewise for meshes, Aquilegia, for age and gender conversions, Amaryll for a mesh fix, Alfred Askew, for the awesomest hand-painted curls ever, Ja, whose curved textures I constantly steal, SAU MYOS, for the curliest photorealistic curls ever, Lyn for making sure I had a working copy of Photoshop, Pooklet for making sure Project Mayhem worked with my copy of Photoshop, and my couple of donors for making sure I could do hair dumps at all.

HEY LISTEN! Meshes are included except where noted; HP requires you to trot yourself over to MTS to grab her meshes, and since they're free, I comply. Swatches are included in the zip files, everything is compressorized. These are all pretty low-poly today, being largely HP and Nouk, although being largely HP and Nouk, some meshes have WAY more groups than is reasonable. Elders go gray, but you also get Time Bomb in the custom bin, just in case Primer isn't platinum enough for you. All female hairs are maternity-wear enabled from teen and up, and all male hairs from YA and up, to stop the weird hair disappearing act that happens if you don't have a Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit hack (but why wouldn't you?).

ANNOYING THINGS I DO: My filenames are stupidly long, so please feel free to shorten them. Better you edit them to suit your needs than I hand you thirty different files that are all named VOLATILE and piss everyone off, right? Also, each hair has an elder gray attached instead of only being stuck to black or blond (because if you want to only keep four colors or something, this way you can swap out textures and still have all the grays. Or choose which color you want your gray carried on. Whatever). Feel free to re-bin things to suit yourself, or do the neons, or whatever.

There are thirty large pics behind the cut, cats and kittens. Dial-up users beware.

If you spot any broken links or other idiocy, please let me know!

Wanna help me feed my cats?

In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. Donors get two things at the moment: a) a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery, full of pictures of the cats you'll be feeding, updated sporadically when the cats do something photogenic and I'm fast enough on the trigger to catch it, and b) a link to the list of content I have done-but-not-screencapped, nearly done, partly done, or in the planning stages, and the option to suggest what ought to be in the next batch of things I focus on.

Roundheels REDUX

Toddler-Elder
Let's start off with a fixed hair, shall we? I've uploaded this one before, but apparently I missed a hair tie that was causing funky alpha issues for some players... because the alpha for every age BUT Adult had it. Twas brought to my attention, and now I've fixed it, because what a weird thing to do-- as a bonus, it pretty much halved the size of the download! So if you have my original Roundheels, please delete it and use this one instead.

More Than He's Worth REDUX
Hysterical Paroxysm's Gaius age-converted by Aquilegia/HP's textures/Pooklet's actions
Child-Elder
Oh man you guys. Okay first of all, this is a large-scale download-- the textures are huge, and there are eight different textures per binned recolor, so. Yeah. Second, yes, I have done HP's Gaius before, but Aquilegia, the saint that she is, offered to age-convert it for children and teens if offered an appropriate bribe. She wanted Nouk hairs and Alfred textures, so here we are! 31mb download, don't say I didn't warn you.

Hysterical Paroxysm's Gaius gender-and-age converted by Aquilegia/HP's textures/Pooklet's actions
Child-Elder
Not only age-converted but gender converted! No, really, that's a woman up there. Today, for any short female hair that's still on the sorta-longish side, I decided to use my androgynous knight as a model. Also a 31mb download.

XM Death 02 Qingshe Hair fixed by Amaryll/Pooklet textures/Pooklet's actions
Young Adult-Elder
This is seriously one of my favorite hairs for wicked witches, fairies, and other weirdos. However, when I went to Pooklet it, it had some really weird shadows inside the loops that were due to the mesh being... um, weird. Originally, it only came in black, but those shadows spoiled anything lighter than Brisance. I don't know jack about meshes, but Amaryll went and fixed this one for me, praise be unto Amaryll! If you have this mesh elsewhere in your downloads folder, you should let Amaryll's fixed version overwrite it. Because... it's fixed.

This hair? This is One Of Those Hairs. A stupid number of groups, multiple redundant alphas to fix (one of those hairs that doesn't NEED four different alphas), highlights to tweak... I'm pleased with it, and I hope you are, too.

More on my androgynous knight! Man, I LOVE this hair and it needs gender converting like a very needful thing. I've always liked this one, but retexturing it ment blending the HELL out of it.
Hysterical Paroxysm does not allow her meshes to be re-uploaded, so hasten ye to MTS to nab the Kara mesh here.

MOAR short hair! Short hair that doesn't look like it's totally full of product! Available for all ages! Dear Aquilegia, I love you. Never stop being awesome.
I also love Kayleigh for letting me know the original file name of my zip was too long... for Mediafire. Go figure, but thank you, and anyone who downloaded this one before should either re-download or add ".zip" to the end of the original file, which should magically make it open. Thanks for the heads-up, Kayleigh!

The Heterodyne Girl
Nouk Tommie (both versions)/Pooklet textures/Pooklet's actions
Teen-Elder
Named because aside from the lack of a cowlick, this one looks so close to Agatha Heterodyne's hairdo it's not even funny. Seriously, her hair color is Comburent. Ahem. Nouk uploaded these with 1024x1024 textures; I reduced it to 512x512 without any noticeable loss in quality. There is some crunchiness around the back, but it was there with the massive textures, too.

Aligeth's Monk's Tonsure/Aligeth textures/Pooklet's actions
Young Adult-Elder
I could've just recolored this, but instead I beat on the alpha for a while and fiddled with the textures in the front and honestly? I think it looks a lot less like someone shaved off half of a base game hairstyle now. And I won't even be using it! (My monkish sorts just shave their heads or cut their hair very short.)

SWATCH DOWN, SWATCH DOWN! Imgur likes to eat certain images and I do not know why. I will re-upload this swatch when Imgur stops mistaking it for delicious popcorn. Swatch is included in the download, fortunately.

And now begins a short section of hairs that you COULD use for women who like short, sensible hair or for women who have cut off their hair to join a Medieval/Fantasy army disguised as men, but for my game, they're short enough for the clergy.

Penitant
Hysterical Paroxysm Athena/Alfred Askew Model T textures/Pooklet's actions
Toddler-Elder
See, in my game, long hair is considered a minor vanity... but more importantly, maintaining long hair is a time-sink, so the people who get out there and do good works are required to cut it-- no longer than a finger's length. (I totally misspelled penitent, but it's too late to fix it now.)
Hysterical Paroxysm does not allow re-uploading her meshes, so git along to Mod The Sims for this one, and get the standalone version.

Postulate
Hysterical Paroxysm Seraph/Alfred Askew Model B textures/Pooklet's actions
Toddler-Elder
However, a novice, or even just someone seeking the Church's shelter, isn't required to cut their hair, especially if they're a woman or young girl. After all, the Church understands that sometimes a girl gets in trouble, or a man needs to hide his telescope-given 'pot belly,' and such things are temporary.
Hysterical Paroxysm wants to keep track of her meshes, so go here and get the standalone version.

This was one of those hairs I looked at and said, "I bet I'd like this a lot better with a softer alpha." Luckily, I regularly pilfer bits of a Peggy alpha-- the one with the rastafarian beret-- so smushing some hair-shaped hair onto the ends was totally worth it.

Okay, so this one didn't come out exactly the way I wanted, but I still like it better than the original. Curly curls! A mighty heap of curly curls! Here, have a Before And After, although it's really more like After and Before because I planned my photoshopping poorly. I like this hair, but I've always been frustrated by the fact that the textures just didn't look like hair to me. Back View.
