I've used most of these for defaults but they'll be in another post as this one's already way too long.

All hairs are binned & familied and available for elders. Unnatural binning is according to Pooklet's own with a few changes for neatness (Powder Cake is back in blonde, Hexane is red). Family 1 red is Explosive for dreads/afro hairs and Molotov for the rest.

Ponypuff hair defaults main preview

I've been trying to work on my hood but boy do I have a backlog of CC to do previews and upload, and most of them are hair defaults.

These replace the "ponypuff" hairs from AL, which I hate with a burning passion (the fivehead, WHY?) and one of the hairs Maxis annoyingly gave us 5 versions of with different color bands.  But for me that means I got to replace them with 5 different, much cuter ponytails. As with all of my defaults, any custom recolors you have of the meshes will work with them.

All of these are past retextures of mine, using Io's edit of Pooklet's V3 textures and these colors:

Alternatively titled "holy shit I forgot how fugly the Maxis hair and clothes are." Time to fire up the FIATRON 69000 technicolor death ray and kick off my mission to banish bland colors, straw hair textures, and hideous sandals into eternal oblivion. (Sorry if that's your thing, but if it is, you wouldn't be here now, would you?

None of these are going to be done in any kind of specific order - when I find something I want to use or have an idea and feel like doing it, I do it and throw it in a folder, and I'll be uploading them in batches that may or may not be related. Of course, this is an ongoing project alongside the 95278283 other things I'm doing with TS2, and I have no idea how far I'm going to get.

I do defaults using the methods in Mooglesims' and Marja's tutorials - unlike the very old way of doing it, these will allow you to have custom recolors of both the replacement mesh AND the original Maxis one with no issues!

Base game hair defaults part 1 preview

This first part contains 9 base game hair defaults, two of which are edits of[personal profile] furbyq's I expanded upon that also have custom versions! These are:
  • fhairacorntuck
  • fhairbraidsup
  • fhairfuzzylongcp
  • fhairhalo
  • fhairlongsimple
  • fhairshortslick
  • mhairfrontalwave
  • mhairmulletlong
Hairs will generally come in this palette, with Explosive instead of Molotov for afro-textured/natural black hairs.

Default hair swatch

I am, however, incorporating gradients, streaks, and other specialty recolors - some of those will be natural-based and occasionally fully unnatural, because that's how I roll. Ages will be added whenever possible for versatility, since it's easy to do anyway.
Don't map a mip for me now, save it 'til the morning after )

These have been done for a while - I had mentioned them in my first bodyshape separates post - but my brain seems to be in perpetual chaos mode and I'm just all over the place with projects lately 😭 But if you downloaded the tops in that post and you use Dummy Thicc, there's finally a bottom to use with it!

And a few hairs. Two of them I've done in the past but needed a revamp for my current game. (And yes, I've allowed Mawreen to model hair now too, because there's no valid reason she shouldn't.)

Halloween 2023 main preview

Hi my name is Fia Dark’ness Dementia Satan Way and I have short white hair like the Devil's daughter (that’s how I got my name) that reaches my neck and icy blue and gold eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Laegrinna (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!)

Ahem. Anyway.

I've been working on this project for over a month and for the 975686569th time went way overboard and didn't get it posted in time. Oh well, it's always Halloween in my game, and better late than... dead I guess? Sure, that sounds spoopy.

You may be wondering... why are there TWO Laegrinnas? Did she clone herself? Nope. Her doppelganger is Celia Mevious, whose ancestor's soul was stolen by the Devil as punishment for betrayal, and he used half of it to create Laegrinna. So Celia is her... descendant? I don't know, It's Complicated™. They are twins in my game (which also makes Velguirie her sister), because TS2 family trees don't go back 3000 years and take stolen souls into account. Celia is central to the plot of Deception IV: Blood Ties - I should have put her in the game alongside Laegrinna, but I didn't intend for my game to include more than a few characters, namely the two pairings I ship. That's changed...

UPDATE 11/18/23: Fixed CPU fat morph on "Unholy Choir" and added textures bundle to repo version that I somehow forgot. File updated again 🤦‍♀️
UPDATE 11/14/23: Fixed neck seams in the CPU meshes. Files have been updated, sorry about that!
 

A lot of preps stared at me. I activated my death trap on them. )

UPDATE 10/28/23:
Digi fixed further transparency issues in the Rose 20 mesh. Files have been updated, please re-download!

I keep promising I'm not going to add any more bodyshapes to my game... and I keep breaking that promise. You can entirely blame Veruza for convincing me to use Vol Gal, however. I was originally just going to use it on her, but I decided I really like it. I've also wanted to use Ren Gal for ages, since it's the most accurate for my self-sim (who's one of the models) but there's no clothing for it that suits my game, so I'm changing that. 😁

I converted a couple of dresses from my Founder's Day 2022 gift to CPU! I really need some more sims with this bodyshape because the Deception ladies are going to get tired from modeling so much 😆 Also, two LeahLillith hairs, one that Digi fixed for me ages ago and another that Polygonbeach reconverted with half the polycount (thank you both again!)

Pride 2023 banner

Last year I wanted to do more for Pride Month, but my plans were thwarted by getting ridiculously sick with Covid when I went home to visit family. So I'm making up for it this year, and as with the event projects I've done in the past year or two, I got super inspired and went a bit overboard. I was like "yeah watch me not have this ready until the very last day of June" and yep, I know myself too well. But there's no wrong time to celebrate Pride, and in the US where I am and elsewhere in the world this is a dangerous time for the LGBTQ+ community and many simmers can't safely do so in real life. There's a LOT of pictures, so everything's under the cut.

Lolita Curlz hair preview

This Tumblr post by asimplevampire (and Pooklet's delighted response) inspired me to see what I could do with this delightfully ridiculous mesh from 2007. And it was an EPIC journey, so it deserves its own glorious post.

Textures by Pooklet (V3) and Anto (from Helen hair)

Kujkenaikara! means "Never give up!" and let me tell you, I almost did with this thing. The mapping was an ABSOLUTE dumpster fire. When I tell you I spent several hours over the course of three days in a battle to the death with this monstrosity, I'm not exaggerating. I didn't even consider trying to put Io's edit of Pooklet's texture that I usually use anywhere near it because it would be utterly destroyed by the extent of warping I knew was needed. So I used Pooklet's original V3, with heavy adjustments and blending the wavy texture from Anto's Helen. Doesn't sound too bad, right?

WRONG. The scalp mapping was similar to a lot of Maxis hairs, and was an advanced course in Photoshop's warp tool. And the bangs. Those fuckers were curved in a manner that crossed dimensions. Just putting a new texture on them wasn't enough, either. They looked like somebody Pookleted a piece of paper, cut out some jagged shapes, and stuck them to the sim's head. So I did some serious alpha editing using bits from Newsea and Rose hairs, because I suck at hand-painting hair alphas.

With the scrunchie things I decided it needed some cute patterns, and one of my friends on Discord wondered if it was possible to make them lacy, which turned out to be a fantastic idea. So the naturals each have pattern/lace combo scrunchies and the unnaturals have black lace ones.

So... why the hell would I do something like this? Simple: 1) as a test of my abilities and 2) out of pure spite, because even though I'm generally a doormat I can be petty af. And honestly? I like how this came out. A LOT. I plan on attempting more old hairs in the future, because I enjoy transforming them with new textures, though I pray that their mapping will have more mercy on my soul than this one did.

I highly doubt anyone else will even use this hair, let alone recolor it, so I haven't included any texture resources like I usually do. However, if your taste is as questionable as mine and you really want to for some unfathomable reason, I'll be happy to provide you with the means to create your own personalized versions of this monster.

I decided to make my 2023 Founder's Day gift sci-fi themed, because I have more alien and robot sims now and eventually plan on making a sci-fi downtown whenever I get to building a new gameplay hood. In hindsight, for such an event I should have made something that's useful to more than exactly nobody, but whatever. Most of these meshes are 3t2 conversions from Into the Future.

When I hit 1K followers on Tumblr (which in 7 years is nothing to brag about but I don't make what's considered "good" content so I don't care) I made a TON of CC to celebrate. Part 1 is a bunch of hairs.

These are the first hairs I uploaded in the unnatural-heavy color selection I now use. They were done during an interim period between the old palette and the one I'm using now (as of 7/23/23), so they don't include Toxigen, Hydrazine, or Hazardous.
