Strangetown: Looking for a hair mesh recommendation

[strangetomato]

I've been searching for a male ponytail to use on Ripp, but I haven't been able to find something that is the right length and matches the Maxis colour and texture. I was hoping that someone who reads this might have a suggestion. Otherwise, I will keep hunting. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll just have to drop the idea, or settle for an unexplainable lengthening of his hair when it is in a ponytail (which would bother me).

Ripp: Why would my hair get a whole foot longer when I put it up? It just doesn't make sense.


This looks exactly right to me, but I just want to snip off about half (maybe 3/4) of the tail. I really appreciate any suggestions you might be able to offer.

I'd love to find something like that myself. I did, however, find a remesh of that lovely OFB hair that was edited to have the hair tucked back on both sides; I'm going to test it in my game and see how it looks in action (apparently there was an animation oopsie but the creator fixed it) but if you wanna check it out too, it's located here

Thanks! I hadn't seen that one. That might make a good compromise for what I wanted it for, since it would at least show that he tried to neaten up a little bit (though not a whole lot).

I honestly just stumbled across it. Popped over to MTS2, opened the male hair section and started browsing. It's somewhere around page 10 and I almost skipped over it.

It does seem very Ripp still, doesn't it?

I was browsing through like that too, but I must have overlooked that one.

It does seem very Ripp, since it is essentially the same hair, just more tucked back. I really like it as another option.

Unfortunately, no joy on finding a decent shorter ponytail. I did a quick peek through the Sims2 Wiki hair gallery and didn't have much more luck there (I don't count Peggy hairs, and I'm planning to cull a good bit of my custom content when I prep for Free Time installation) so I'm gonna try hitting InSim when I get home from work. (And I did a quick peek and started laughing, because that hair I linked you to was also up there on the first page of Genetics/Male Hair downloads - that creator is fast, I tell ya!)

I never thought to check InSIM. It's not one of my usual haunts, but I should check it out.

I just finished a third go-through of InSim's forums with no luck. The only thing I spotted was the tucked-back hair I found yesterday (and tested in CAS last night, it looks pretty damned good IMO) and a recolour of that long Nouk ponytail, which is even longer than the Maxis version. Sorry I couldn't be more help :-(
