The sims 2 body shop custom hair full#

For “truth in advertising” purposes, I included pics of ones I think look good as well as ones I think don’t look as good and that will eventually be replaced. (Right at this moment, I still have about 100 of them to go there are a lot more female/unisex hairs than there are male-only hairs.)Ībove are some examples of the hairs included in this batch. The file names will tell you which ones they are, as I’ve named them clearly. There will be another post for the female and all the child- and toddler-only hairs, since I’ve made them all unisex.

But there are 129(!) defaults included in this download, in three parts of roughly 140MB each. This is because some of the defaults I have – like those with dreadlock textures – did not require retexturing for my purposes and, for some hairs, there are no existing defaults at all or any that I like or that weren’t very similar to ones I’d already gathered. I’ve been posting pics here and there as I’ve been working on them since…oh… May, and a few folks were interested in having them, so I’m sharing them, albeit not in any “proper” way.

Then, since I don’t use many purely custom hairs in my game anymore and instead default-replace all the Maxis ones, I decided to retexture a (somewhat) full set of (mostly) already-existing default hairs using the new texture I made. Since such a texture didn’t really exist, I painted one from scratch. What I wanted was a truly “Maxis-match” hair texture, in the sense of being realistic like Maxis’s texture but also high-res so that it wouldn’t look like crap and could be easily applied to custom hairs. By that I mean that it’s highly-detailed, with realistic layered strands and high- and low-lights, but because it’s very low-res, it generally looks like…well, crap, especially with today’s graphics. “realistic” dichotomy….Maxis’s hair texture is, ironically, realistic.

I’ve always found it funny that, for all that there’s this big “Maxis-match” vs.
