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 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 :-(
