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!
This first part contains 9 base game hair defaults, two of which are edits of

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.
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.
