Photos of the short and choppy hair

[strangetomato]

I acquired that new short and choppy Maxis hair, and since pixel_and_bean  requested that I share some better photos of the style, I did a little photoshoot with Jaxy.

(I'd like to suggest DYtD as the background music here. Check them out - they're a great band, and I use them as one of my sources of inspiration for Jaxy and Llama Dance Party.)

Who better to model this style than Jaxy Rai, who I would consider the poster girl for such a style. Not to say that a straight girl wouldn't wear her hair like this, but it seems more typical of a lesbian or maybe a hairstylist. Or perhaps a girl who has a hairstylist for a girlfriend. It's also a very suitable style for a rocker like Jax, don't you think?

Now, for some more descriptive shots...










(Oops! You can see my workspace back there. That's like letting the boom mic fall into the shot during a film shoot. :P)








Yeah, I like it. I like it a lot.

I gave her a nose piercing, and it seems to suit her. I'd imagine she might have a tongue stud too, if only sims had tongues. *snicker* But they don't.






Oh, and the shirt is a tank by fanseelamb and the pants are by migamoo.


Now, as a bonus question...




Jaxy and Zoe were getting a little cozy, as they often do (triple bolters, don't you know), and this happened:




That's a memory for "kissed Jasmine for the first time", which left me a little confused. That was not the first time they kissed. Not by a long shot.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? What could be causing it, I wonder?

I second pixel's thanks for the pics (especially from all the angles, I like to see if there are any gaps--I HATE hair gaps).

You found this on that MATY thread (in the peasantry)? Did you have to do anything "weird" to get it to work? (I saw there was some conversation about making a new file directory and blah blah, which discouraged me).

Seeing that his hair looks really nice, I'm becoming tempted to get it (as long as I don't have to work to hard to get it to show up).

Any horror stories?

I threw the links in an folder entitled EA Store in my Downloads folder, and it's showing up fine for me in my game. Give that a try, first?

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's THAT simple?

I may just give this a whirl.

I was scared by all the technobabble at the MATY thread, but someone said to put all the files in my Downloads folder. So I did, and it worked, and I was happy. :)

I have all the furniture and the hair posted, and I'm about to try to add the clothes.

I love MATY but sometimes they get far to technical for my limited mind. I need comments like yours to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid).

I just stuck them in Downloads. They work. *shrug*

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. It worked fine. I used a separate folder for them, just to make them easy to find.

It's pretty gap free, and with 50% less cranium than those other meshes. *snicker* Yeah, I'm still WTFing over that. I can't get over it.

Yeah, it's from the peasantry section. Start from the end of the thread and work back, because they posted fixed versions of the objects and even a new curly hair mesh that doesn't suck as hard (in fact, it's quite nice).

I just dumped them all into one folder (so I could easily keep track of them together) under downloads. Doesn't matter what you name it - just ignore the scary technical talk. I just called the folder "Sims 2 Shop" or something like that. It works fine.
