Strangetown: Looking for a hair mesh recommendation

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've used this before when I used to have a medieval neighborhood. The only issue is that the texture of the hair is a bit harsh when compared to EA hair. You might be able to recolor it to make it look more like you want though. :)

If that's one you want to use, I've figured out how to get it to look exactly like the long EA ponytail. You just have to use bodyshop, export each of the hair's textures, and then copy all the picture files from the long ponytail to the short one. When you do this, toddler-teen looks weird, but since Ripp is a YA, that doesn't matter. Hope this helps :)

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I have been asleep ever since I posted this. I'm not feeling all that well...

Well, that sounds like a plan, since that hair is about the right shape. I'll have to really force myself to sit down and figure it out.

Why didn't they just include a normal length ponytail for male hair? How many guys have hair that long? It makes no sense to me...
