HAIR DUMP VIII: BRIDE OF HAIR DUMP

[hat_plays_sims]

Behind the cut lurk twenty-one hairs for your downloading pleasure.

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

NO PAYSITES. Mesh creators' policies may vary, my policy says I want a cut (like that would ever happen), but Pooklet says no and these are Pooklet's actions. So no paysites.

PRAISE BE UNTO: Peggy, Raon, Flora over at XM Sims, and Helga for meshes, Nouk for curly and wavy textures, Ja for this one bit of a curve that I use ALL THE TIME, FantasyRogue for my go-to braid texture, Lyn for making sure I had a working copy of Photoshop, Pooklet for making sure Project Mayhem worked with my copy of Photoshop (and for their textures), my lovely donors who make sure I can keep my photos online (which lets me post hair dumps at all), and you lot for being patient with my long radio silence.

HEY LISTEN! Meshes are included unless otherwise noted. I think I renamed Rose's Taobao meshes so that I could tell what was what. Swatches are included in the zip files, everything is compressorized. Poly counts may vary; the XM and Helga hairs are on the low end, but I have very new AND very old Peggy hairs, so they could be all over the map. 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: Because I credit everybody in them, my folder and file names are stupidly long. Feel free to shorten one, the other, or both as you please-- better you edit them to suit your needs than I just name everything [COLOR NAME] and cheese everybody off, right? Also, each hair color has an elder gray attached instead of only black. Feel free to re-bin everything and cut out the extra grays, or only use one family but swap out textures so your elders have some variety, whatever. Likewise, I bin using Pooklet's original scheme, because it's a nice easy default. I totally do not care if you re-bin things to suit your own tastes (but hey, every hair has a gray attached in case you need it!), and neither does Pooklet, so do whatever makes you happy, binning-wise.

EVEN MORE ANNOYING: Everybody sees a hair dump, so...

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.

Yes, if you want to do the unnaturals, please feel free to do the unnaturals. I have no plans to do so. Just remember to credit properly-- I tend to use Nouk's waves, FR's braid, and a chunk of curve I stole off Ja's Uni ponytail default.

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

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

I love this mesh. It's simple, it's cute, it works for all ages, it's got a male version, it looks like Frigg's hair from Guilded Age (and I almost named it for her), and it looks like an easy DIY haircut. Retexturing it, however, was a stone-cold bitch until I said to myself, "Hey, don't the curls on Nouk's Valentines hair kinda look like... yeah!"

Have I mentioned how much I like nice simple men's hairs that looks like they were accomplished using just a comb and scissors? Because I like them a LOT.

Fun with swoopy curly ponytails! I've done the female version of this one elsewhere, as Sweet Sister, but I like it on men, too.

Named because these look like the kind of curls you get if you've been working in the lab late one night every night this week. Goddamn, Alfred, I love your curls. They're delicious. Thanks for giving me permission to do the full Pooklet to 'em.

I originally had this alpha-edited by Goat, and added some of the wispies back in. It's not exactly historically accurate, but who has time for historical accuracy when you're letting your beau wind wildflowers in your hair?

See, it even looks good on men! Okay, not so much this man. He apparently only looks good in the hair he was designed to wear, and his eyebrows make him look anxious to be wearing this hair. See Carry a Big Stick for the side view-- they use the same textures.

Needs A Trim

It looks a little overlong and in-the-way on a grown man, but damn this mesh is adorable on kids and toddlers. Named because the "Did You Join A Boy Band?" was both too long and only would've made, like, one person laugh.

Never Been Cut

Hair does not just keep growing forever. Each hair grows to a length set by your genetics in a time set by your genetics-- usually that time period is about seven years-- and then it falls out naturally. The only way to make it look straight and even is to trim it. This is a lot like what my hair looks like.

I know this one has probably been done about six times, but I had to do it. Tweaked the highlights to my liking and made sure each family had a gray.

You bet your sweet bippy I'm proud of myself. I love this mesh, I always have, but when I went to retexture it, I found the painted curls a bit lacking-- and it just didn't look the same all straight. An unholy hybrid of Pooklet's textures, Nouk's Wavy textures, and Nouk's Valentine curls was the result.

This hair is never out of style. Look at it. It's a tasteful bun. Works for peasants, merchants, beggars, queens, fairies, nannies, schoolteachers...

This one, on the other hand... this is the hairdo of somebody who has been working. Working out, working in the garden, working around the house, working... somewhere. Just working. If I were going to do a default replacement of the maid's hair, I'd use this one.

There are some hairs I make because they're a nice, low-poly option for the bath, the beach, or the pool. This is one of those hairs-- but it looks nice, all fluffy and clean.

I've done Team Tarvek (Helga M02, use Explosive) and The Heterodyne Girl (Nouk Tommie, use Comburent), so clearly it was time for a Team Gil hair. Use Safety Fuse. (I am currently on Team Oh God Please Let Them All Live Through This. Vole, you bastard, no wonder the Jaegers kicked you out.)

Here's another hair that just sort of... works for women. Any woman who can afford a couple of hairpins. This would look okay on an ancient Greek or Roman, in the Middle Ages, in a Renaissance tavern, under a big broad hat with stays and a pannier or an Empire gown, on any Victorian adult with her day-clothes... Or, you know, now. This hair just works with stuff.

I decided to start making note of which hairs are male or female when I realized Dame Sir was doing just what she was supposed to-- confusing people about what's under her armor. Warrior Princess is Dame Sir's hair-- it's what she looks most like herself in. The first girl in my Medieval game who rolls a want to pull a Fa Mulan Sweet Polly Oliver and enlist is probably going to end up in this hair.

This one, on the other hand, is pretty easily possible without teasing, ratting, spraying, or gelling. I like both of them-- they give different shapes to the head.

I cannot resist curls. Curls, or braids. This is not the curliest mesh I've ever recolored, but I like the sort of simplicity of it-- like the volume is natural, based on curls someone has tried to brush out.
