Lower poly long wavy hair for men?

[DMoontear]

Lately, I've been looking for a hair similar to Cazy Anto's Hair 80 (http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h125/dmoontear/cazyantohair802.jpg) for the Sims 3 but seem to be coming up dry in all searches.(Or I'm being search-stupid.)

Now, as for why I don't just use that hair, I play my game in high quality because, for the most it plays fine. But if I try to put this on a sim, the game starts to drag because of the insanely high polycount.(32000+ :|)

Though I doubt that this question will be asked, the reason I will not lower thy poly count myself is for 3 reasons; It's rude. And TSRW and CTU can't load it, so I can't export it.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Yeah, there aren't many long hairs out there with good poly counts for TS3 yet. And for long curly male hair... I can't find anything on the sites I usually visit. :S Reduced to scavenging from the arse-end, here... hopefully you can find some decent retextures googling the mesh names/numbers, though.

This Newsea one is 8k, which is ok, though it's not as wavy as the one you were looking at - it's also on the booty under TSR/Newsea/hair: http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/newsea/downloads/details/category/sims3-hair-hairstyles-male/title/newsea-viking-male-hairstyle-/id/956859/
And this one is 11k, which is, well, bad, but at least not as bad as that Anto mesh! http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/newsea/downloads/details/category/sims3-hair-hairstyles-male/title/newsea-vivy-male-hairstyle-/id/978257/
This Peggy one (also booty) is about 6k: http://www.peggyzone.com/Sims3Detail.html?id=000441&sortId=01
The one (free) is also 6k: http://www.peggyzone.com/Sims3Detail.html?id=000099&sortId=00 (It's an exe for some reason - don't run the exe, open it in WinRAR, and extract the package file. I'm not sure the file will *work*, but... hey, I guess you can try it...)

There also some at Cazy's site ( http://cazyxdarkplace.blogspot.com/ ), but the poly counts on those are almost as bad as the Nubie/Anto one.

There are also a few more which are wavy, but not as long as you're looking for:

Usually, creators won't mind if you tweak their meshes for personal use. The technical issues don't help though.

Thank you, very, very much for the links, I will check them otu after this post.

And I'm glad that I wasn't just being a search retard.
