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.

Hmm. I know you'd already rejected the imperfect short ponytail, but I did find a recolour someone did for an Orlando Bloom Sim. Maybe they fixed the stuff that's wrong with the original?

Oh, and someone did recolours of peggy hair that look a BIT less shiny and more natural:

Hair today?

Sorry to interrupt. But I'd not seen the Orlando sim. I am reminded that Orlando is definitely a looker. *cleans up drool* Thanks for posting that.


To strange_tomato, I'm not certain that there is a proper mesh to look for at this forum, but you might want to check out Wicked Sims, if you haven't yet. Him666 does a ton of female to male meshes, of all lengths, and there are plenty that lack the Peggy shine.

Wicked Sims is part of the Wicked Nouk group, if you haven't visited there before.

Heheh. Yes, Orlando is not too hard on the eyes, is he? *grin*

Thanks for that suggestion. I haven't looked at that site before. I'll check it out. I have looked at the Wicked Nouk group before, but maybe not fully, and I didn't have something in mind at the time. I really like Nouk's hair, but her straight, male hair is a little on the shiny side for me. Beautiful stuff, though.

Thanks! I'll check it out. It's seems like they probably just photo-skinned it though (like his face), so it might be too realistic.
