Strangetown Extras: Ajay Loner has new hair
Check it out.
Ajay is testing out some new short, curly hair by AlfredAskew at MTS2. He decided to chop off his mess of curls, in favour of a shorter, neater style. He likes it (and I do too).
I would love to see more cc like this for male sims. More subtle variations on short male hair would be great. This lovely hair is on the New Roman mesh by HystericalParoxysm, a hair which I had removed from my game because I decided that I didn't really like the texture or the cut (it looks more like a woman's haircut, in my opinion). This new texture convinced me to redownload it.
I was testing out Beau's adult look, and I'm pretty sure he'll be wearing this semi-casual work attire most of the time. He has to look sharp and approachable, ya know. The blue also matches his eyes perfectly. I'm thinking he's going to chop off his long, messy hair in favour of something short at some point too. I gave him the caesar from Seasons in these pics, and I really liked it (even though Buck has it too... what to do, what to do).
Frances likes it.
(All these shots were taken on Jaxy and Zoe's lot, by the way. I was there on business.)
I was also testing out some sideburns on Ripp. I'm considering them for when he gets older.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beyondheroism__ usually hints at them when she draws him and I like it. I don't like how much sideburns he has here, though. The Maxis 'burns are a bit much. Has anyone seen a toned down version that isn't as thick or as long? His scruff gives him a hint of sideburns, but I'd like to explore some other options for enhancing them. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like Ripp's been hitting the bubble blower again. :P

Funny, I spent a long time yesterday at MTS2 and I didn't see that hair until I read your post! :D
My Download folder somehow reached 6GB size, which is ridiculous. It got cluttered with all the stuff I got for my posters, which I propably won't use every again and I also had a huge mess of meshes, so I had no idea what to delete because I didn't want to mess up other sets.
So I dumped all my bodyshop stuff and started over. And this time I'm sticking with just Maxis match hair. I had three different "Nouk" retextures of the same mesh! It's stupid! I'm gonna miss some meshes but heck, perhaps that'll motivate me to retexture them myself :P.
And that short curly hair is already among my new files!
I used that short hair on Beau for a long, long time. Perhaps from the time he married Lilith until his death. It suits him a lot, I agree! :) And that "rally forth" picture is hilarious. He already has five businesses?! Dude, that's an extremely difficult LTW! O_o WOw!
(Says the lame one who's currently struggling with the 20 woohoo LTW :S)
I love pic spam! :)

When I download things for specific scenes or photoshoots, I try to keep them in a temporary folder, and then I remove it after I get the images. I'm very obsessive about not having too many things I never use, or use only rarely (though they're there).
Hoorah for more hair retextures! ^_^ It's nice to clean out folder entirely like that. Somehow, even when I'm being careful, I end up with missing meshes and things like that.
Yes, I rememeber that now. It really does suit him, and I love how it makes his earrings more noticeable too. I made the rally forth image into an icon. :D
I cheated a little with the busineeses. He only has two at top level, really, but if the business drops to level nine and then goes back to ten, it counts as a whole other business (one of those little loopholes in the game). I used that to get him to perma-platinum. I do plan to have him open 5 businesses, though, eventually.
There's a sneaky trick for the 20 woohoos too. Public woohoo with the same person counts as a second woohoo for the LTW purposes. ;) Maybe you could take advantage of that.
Yeah, pic spam is fun. I've been trying to focus my time on the story, so I haven't been doing it as much lately.
