This is a Maxis Recolour which means that it is a recolour of an item that already exists in your game. Please check the Expansion pack requirements to see which game pack it recolours.

Did you ever notice how the red Maxis toddler bob has really cute messy fringe while all the other colours have harsh straight bangs? I did. It's annoying. Wanna know why it's like that? Maxis linked the black, brown, and blonde hairs to the wrong textures.

So here's a tiny mod to fix that. Stick it in your downloads folder and enjoy the newfound cuteness.

You must have the expansion or stuff packs listed below installed to use this custom content. Please see the post text for any exceptions.

thank you sooo much. I just noticed this when my Sim had two toddlers in the same house (one was her roomates) one with red hair and one with blonde, and they both had the bob. I saw the adorable cute hair on the red one and I was wondering if it was a different haircut or CC or something on the other... so thanks so much for this fix!

Bless you! I never use the Maxis hairstyle because of those bangs. Now I can use these, thanks to you! :-) Two thumbs up!!

bubblegumtasha: It's more like a default-replacement. If you had any toddlers with the straight bangs, they'll be replaced by these when you install the mod.

This makes me smile. I love the toddler in the picture, and of course, the bob.

I didn't notice at first, my father did, watching me play. He told me, "Isn't it odd that the red-heads have a bit more messier styled bob?"
But that was a couple of years ago, I think when I first got The Sims 2.
Now all my toddler can have that cute little bob! Gracias ^^

Maxis using the wrong textures? Yeah, I would do a facepalm, too.

Typical of Maxis/Ea to make a mistake and leave it to the players to cover them But at least they got one right and you fixed the rest Thank You sooo much.

Holy cow. I didn't even realise the inconsistencies before you mentioned them. :O

I guess because I don't actually recall using the hairstyle on red haired Sims. But now that I know, I can download and fix the mesh.
