Mod The Sims - No Valentine 'Jazzy' soul patch - add a new age group to your game

Hi again all!

1) No Valentine eyebrows
2) No Valentine stubble
3) No Valentine ultra-short hair
4) No Valentine shaved hair
5) This set

.
This is the last of my 'No Valentine' bodyshop sets, designed to fill the gap between male adults and elders.

Beards were unofficially requested by StephSim when I uploaded the No Valentine stubble. I explored a lot and tried different things, and spoke too fast and promised too much, lol, and finally decided to upload this set. I hope you like it.

The 'Jazzy' soul patch
A soul patch is a tiny beard right below the lower lip. They used to be associated with jazzmen, they eventually increased in popularity. Recently, what's 'in' is the tiny, almost invisible one, but as this set is focused on mid-life males, I decided to go for something a little more substantial, similar to what Billy Ray Cyrus, Chris Gaines and Howie Mandel wear.

Angles ^

.
The 2 pictures above give you an idea of the colors coming with this set, and I joined a view at different angles, too.

The 8 natural colors are for teens, young adults, adults and elders. The 8 Salt N Pepper colors are for adults only. The custom grey is unbinned, usable by all. This set can be matched with my No Valentine eyebrows and hairstyles. You can also combine it with my No Valentine Sheer stubble or any other stubble if you like, although soul patches are usually worn on their own.

3 kinds of files:

'The Easy Standard' - each set is:
- Binned
- One grey per set (linked to the black)
- 4 Maxis-like colors familified
- 16 colors in total (normal + salt n pepper)
- 8 normal colors merged to one file
- 8 'SP' colors (with Salt N Pepper) merged to another file
- Whole Set = 2 files = 16 options in-game (binned)
-

WARNING! If you delete any color in the game or in bodyshop, a whole set will be gone

'The Selective Option' - each set is:
- Binned
- One grey per set (linked to the black)
- No families - make your own families with the colors of your choice
- You can delete some colors, the others will stay with you
- 16 colors in total (normal + salt n pepper)
- Whole Set = 16 files = 16 options in-game (binned)
-

WARNING! Make sure you keep the black, else your elders will have a random Maxis beard

'The Trash Heap' - everything is:
- Unbinned, great with non-matchy hair colors and unbinned hair
- 16 colors, plus a 17th color : the custom grey
- No families
- One grey per set (linked to the black)
- Usable by any sim big enough to grow beard, at any occasion with no restrictions
-

WARNING! Whole heap = clutter of 17 unsorted files in EACH of your color bins
-

WARNING! Make sure you keep the black, else your elders will have a random Maxis beard

All 3 kinds of files work perfectly and have proper filenames;

If you try the unbinned ones, you can inflict your teens a weak immune system and give them greying soul patches.

Need hair matching this? You can get some here and here, and I might eventually make more.

You can make recolors. I won't be making neon versions of these, lol, but you can. Just link your recolors here, and link this post there. Crediting me for my original sets would be nice too.

Thanks for trying this, enjoy!

Thanks to Phaenoh for her help on the first round of manual binning of facial hair (with the brows), all the knowledge gained from talking to her has been useful here too! I will also re-re-mention David Nagel's photoshop brushes. Really useful!
