This is a new mesh recolour, and means that you will need to download the particular mesh itself in order for this to show up in your game. See the Meshes Needed section or read the text for more information.

Hi everyone,

Here are 4 'Maxis-like' recolours of HelgaSims' beautiful hair, number 82.

I made this, because I still prefer Maxis-like haircolours, although I also use non-Maxis-like colours now. How my Sims look has also changed. But this not about me, but about this download, so let's go on.

There are 4 colours: black, blonde, brown and red, which are binned, so they appear in the right colour-bin. Elders turn grey and there's just one grey colour. The grey colour is linked to the blonde on, so if you want the grey you need the blonde recolour.

For these recolours to show up in your game, you will need the mesh, which is not included in the download. You can find it here: http://www.helgasims.com/hair8.htm
It's the third hair. To download click on: 'скачать'.

Edit: You can now download the mesh from here, because I've uploaded it.

I hope you like them!

Avaluna

I've been using Rissa's recolors, but I'm definitely going to nab your version of brown. They look great.

Like Maxis? M'dear, these are far better than Maxis! While I am a Noukaholic, these are far too good to pass up. They look wonderful! :D

Helga makes very wonderful meshes, but I would never actually use the colors by her because I have this thing where everything in my downloads folder has to be maxis like. So I thank you, because I have downloaded recolors of yours like this before and they are great in game! Good Job and keep up the excellent work!

Thanks everyone! Glad you like them. :D
I don't know if I do other Helga hairs, but keep your eyes open.

I'm definately gonna upload the brown-haired model, Kate. When she's up I'll put a link here.

Hello there,
Does anyone know can send me the mesh for this hair, because on helgasims I downloaded the hair and the mesh file was corrupted and could not be extracted. I try to send Helga a email but the email does not work.
Thanks

Try again, Ninik. I think it was just the site being weird. I downloaded it and nothing's wrong with it.

And for the people who wanted Kate, she's up for download now! You can find her at my page at LL30/BP's Sims.

Thanks very much, and I must say I love your models because they're realistic, they don't all look similar to one another . Kudos.
