There really isn't enough good facial hair out there. I don't really have a thing for beards, but I notice when no men have any. It's odd, you know? Non-default versions of these files are available here: http://sumomo.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=228403 Photo Credits: Skintone by Lyholy. |

The brown and black stubble colors were acceptable (I guess), so I only made recolors for the red, blond and grey colors. The eyebrows were released before, but I've included them here for convenience's sake. The colors are on the dark side, since eyebrows that are darker than hair look less odd than eyebrows that are lighter than hair.

Texture is a retexture/recolor of Nouk's armywife hair. Mirror hair replacements included. Non-default versions of this hair are available here: http://sumomo.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=279485 Photo Credits: skintone by Enayla, blush by Barcelonista, lips by bruno, eye shadow and eyes by RenSim, brows by Helaene, piercings by temptress, with a recolor by sleeples_angel. ETA 6/2/08: Removed older package and uploaded screenshots of revised package. Changes are due to a monitor replacement on my part (it was seriously ancient). |

Non-default versions of this hair are available here: http://sumomo.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=251641 OPTIONAL: gwillewyn has converted melodie9's all-ages version of this mesh into a default replacement. It works with these texture replacements.  http://sumomo.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=278092Photo Credits: skintone by Enayla, lips and eyebrows from RenSim, lashes by Helaene. |

Original texture by Seomi. This is the texture from her "Princess Blond" hair; the mesh she used for the princess hair uses the basegame fuzzylong hair for children and teens, so I'm pretty sure this is OK by her ToU. Non-default versions of the Princess hair are available here: http://sumomo.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=257244 Anyway. These are not my textures. Please visit Seomi's site and follow her ToU for use of these textures. Photo credits: skintone by Enayla, freckles by Lyholy, eyebrows by RenSim, lips by Serasims. |

I didn't retexture this one, since the mesh and the alpha do a pretty good job of bringing this hair together, despite the EAxis texture.

This is the hair that made me decide that a default replacement package was in order. It was so interesting, but the development team still managed to make it look like it had been drawn with crayons.

This package covers the male "closecropped" and toddler "kinkypuff" hairs, since they use the same textures. I have no idea why they did it that way. Bump map is set to neutral due to the fade I added to the alpha. ETA 6/2/08: Replaced default replacement package. Photo credits: skintone by Enayla, eyes by RenSim, eyebrows by HystericalParoxysm, eyelashes by AtomicSpaceKitty. Sclera corrector unreleased at the time of this update. Non-default versions of this hair are available here: http://alkaloidlabs.blogspot.com/20...-for-males.html. |

Besides the color adjustment, I cleaned up the stubble. Mirror hairs included. Non-default versions of these hairs are here: http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=63897 Photo Credits: skintone by Enayla; eye makeup, brows and lips by RenSim. ETA: Rainbow hair fixed. It's now blond with leopard-dyed stubble. Also I fixed an image format inconsistency issue that may or may not be causing a problem for some users.

The Natural Redhead Project is an open-ended recolor project sparked by the near-complete absence of believable red hair colors in the sims community. Since the start of the project, we have since expanded our focus to include believable blonds, other natural colors, and even fantasy and punk colors. To date, ten creators have released 60 different posts, with hundreds of individual files in those posts. There is a huge selection of hair, along with skintones, facial hair, and freckling clothes, genetics and makeup. If you would like to find out more about the Natural Redhead Project, please see our project thread on MTS2, or our forum at InSim. If you would like to make hair recolors that work with these defaults, I have uploaded a set of Photoshop color swatches. They were made in 7.0, but I think swatches work in any version of Photoshop. Feel free to use these for any project for any reason. XPLT297 has also made some default hair replacement packages for the game. The colors he chose are radically different from mine, but there's nothing like choice, right? You can find them in his "alpha disturbed" subforum over at InSimenator. ...And that's it! I hope you enjoy this first installment of NRP's default hair replacements, and may your holidays be stress-free and full of good times. :D |

What a wonderful idea - thank you for much for this! I never use the Maxis hair, but now I might change my mind ... :D Was it deliberate that some black hairs look more like a dark brown, though? |

Ah, Alkaloid, I already love the Redhead Project, and these are definitely going in my game as I abhor the Maxis' hairs (their version of blond and red kill me). I can't wait to see more! Quote:
Well, speaking as someone whose hair is naturally black, I don't know about others, but my hair looks more like a really dark brown instead of the "raven black" that you see in the hair dye aisle in stores. :D |

Something is not right with the bumpmap for the male dreadlocks. I think changing the format from DXT5 to Raw8bit should fix it. |
