Strangetown Extras: Ajay Loner has new hair

[strangetomato]

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. 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

If only there was a longer hair style with that same texture then Ajay would look even better!

Nevermind Ripp sniffing the flowers- what in the world is Beau doing in the second picture? Was he on the bubbles too? XD

Nice, I like Ajay with short hair. Looks good! :)

and love Frances outfit, is that a new makeover??
He looks AWESOME!!!! <3
(sorry, if he changed style on the story and I missed it, haven't read the last updates yet)

Ugh, so nice. That mesh would NOT DL for me.

I LOVE THAT SHORT AND CURLY HAIR! It is currently my ONLY custom male hair. Well, except for 2 sets of neon hairs in preparation for a rainbow-like thing I'll be doing soon, and a hair for my Edward Cullen sim. *shifty eyes* But I hardly think those count. But I saw it and absolutely had to have it, and since I already had the New Roman mesh for one of those neon sets, I took it a a ~sign~. xD

What I find amusing is that when I saw it I instantly loved it, then a couple hours later lauriethemuppet IMed me with the link to it saying it was awesome, then someone posted it in maxismatch, and then YOU posted with it. IT IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD.

AJ is looking pretty good. Well, as good as AJ can look anyway.

Beau! He is so gleeful! Also, Beau/Frances is yummy.

I do love sideburns, but the maxis ones are kind of overbearing. But if you can find something like you seem to be looking for Ripp's sexiness will definitely level up.

I actually don't like that hair all that much. I recognized the mesh, and decided against it. Is it any good? You might make me reconsider.

EVERYONE looks good with tat Seasons hair. When I post my VV picspam, you'll see Antonio with it. (I have a thing for the Monty Men, *swoons*)

EEE FRANNY!

Did you check Nymphy? She's the only one I can think of with facial hair, maybe she has sideburns? I would search Mod too, but they never have any good stuff for the men.

Everything looks good to me, but really the point for me is to stare dreamily at all the boys :D ahaha XD

My first thought of the picture of Beau and Frances cuddling was "Why is Fracnes cuddeling Buck?"

I'm a huge fan of that Seasons style, but I think having it on two sims who are both blond with four letter names beginning with B may be a bit confusing. Maybe Jill will convince Buck to grow his hair out to something a little longer?

I do wish there were more shorter styles for guys. I work with about 16 guys each night. None of them have exceptionally long hair and each one wears their hair different from the other. I don't want to complain too much about what cc creators make, but man... I wish for every ten female to male conversions being done, someone would make one short, decent male hair.

Wow, Beau looks a lot like Buck in that picture. I was all "WHY IS BUCK AN ADULT ALREADY? IT TOOK YEARS FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO GET THROUGH UNIVERSITY?!"

I saw that hair too - isn't it great?

[redqueenofevil.livejournal.com]

This mesh looks great! It's about time we had more short hairs for the guys. Of course, someone's going to have to make an M to F conversion. I wish I knew how.

Also, yay, pic spam!

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! :)

I don't know if these (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=7314.0) are what you're looking for in terms of sideburns, but they're pretty good IMO. Just a thinner version of the Maxis ones. :)
