Yep. That's me.

Guess who sat down to look at skirt meshes and untuckable tops, then get back to work on Medieval underwear...

... And Pooklet'd five thicknesses of stubble, two mustaches, and a soul patch?

Turns out I've missed Pookletting things. I also finally counted all my beardstuffs. There will be 23 when I get around to a beard dump, not accounting for possibly doing some of those long Santa beards in waves AND straight textures.

Do you guys like your beards binned or unbinned? Um, which is to say, should I offer unbinned options, too, because boy howdy am I binning them for myself. I hear they go funny in the family-ing stages, so they're gonna get binned like my hairline blushes, with the hairtones changed. (Adults ARE getting gray options, for those men who begin to get grizzled around the muzzle earlier than it sets in on their hair. Likewise elders are getting colored options, because sometimes the color in the beard is pretty stubborn.) And... are beards and facial hair among the things one can townie-enable? That sounds like fun.

Also if anybody knows of any facial hair meshes (I have Necrodog's Amish beard, Simsbaby's thick beard, and SynapticSim's Face Fur, plus all the Basegame and BV beards), let me know? I may just need to add them to my list.

My beards were the Summer Secret Gift for Cynnix, along with a kareoke machine made tavern barrels and bottles, the first round of shifts and the then shifts + shawls, and some 15 odd hair. As the link is a mediafire one, I'll probably end up reposting the rest of the things on my journal as well with new links.

Here, they are this set:

(earlier in the thread shows all the other goodies, but I put teh beards up on box.net links because of demand.)

... Looks like Nouk's Valentine waves? Nice! A little shiny for my purposes, but that's why I'm devling into V3. (I swear I'm gonna retexture that hair someday, too. Ja's version is nice, but lacks some of the interest of the original.)

[heget]

yep. And yeah, a bit shiny and the curls means it woun't work for straight hairs, but I had such a reduction of quality when I ran actions over the FR maxis that I had to make my own.

I really don't like V3 for hairs, but I can see how it'd work for beards.

[hat_plays_sims]

Maxis doesn't Pooklet well, particularly in terms of textures. Sometimes it doesn't even retexture well. It takes some creative blending to make it look decent, much less nice. I'm sure you can find a few entries of mine and Aqulegia's bitching about the difficulty of Maxis hairs, especially the frickin' basegame hairs. I can't imagine the beards would be much different, as a lot of the HH content is actually IN the basegame, just inaccessible (those beards, for instance).

That's my thinking-- I like the shiny for hairs, but on beards it doesn't look as realistic. On the little beards, that's no big, but for the larger ones, I really want to try playing with my own shiny new warp tool.

Well, it's not like I don't need a plethora of beards for my game. :)

*grins* I know, right? *just got finished alpha-editing the Basegame Devil beard so that it looks less Cartoon Devil and more Fandral of Locksley*
