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 doing a little bit of searching on google and I found this: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=59174
It has some problems with the coloring so you might not want to use this one, but I liked how it sorta looks messy.

I haven't seen anything, but I'll definitely keep my eyes open for you! :)

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

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. :)

The only other one I've found so far is a peggy hair. There are better pics at this MTS2 recolour. I'll keep an eye out for others.

(edit) Aaaaand Pixel had already linked that one. nvrmnd.

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?

You don't really need to change the shape - you could just edit the alpha so that part of it, ie. the end of the ponytail, doesn't show up. I've done this with a few hairstyles, where I haven't liked that there was a fringe or stray hairs and I used only Bodyshop and Photoshop.

Hmmm... unfortunately, I've only seen the hairstyles already mentioned.

Maybe we could ask at one of those "Request" forums? I've been planning to do a request there, since I've been looking for a child/teen conversion of the Night Life goggles for a long time. I know that Garden of Shadows and Insim have those sections.

OK, let me give it a try!

Rip is going to have a dork knob? O.o

Gaaah, I'm going to go read the rest of the comments and think about all my downloads for a bit to see if I can't think of something.
