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.
Linked to the maxis textures (unless otherwise stated).
Family linked to all ages and colors.
Genetically modified: black and brown are more dominant than blond and red.
Properly binned.
Shows up as Nightlife maxis content. (The delete button is still enabled *do not delete any of these hairs*)

Ravekimono, mesh found here. Only Toddler and Child meshes are needed.



There are three versions of the Vampire hair to choose from. Use only one version.

NL_Vampire_PCT.rar has Toddler, Child and Teen without the jeweled headdress. This is not linked to the Maxis textures. Meshes included, thanks to VETTY!

NL_Vampire_PC.rar has Toddler and Child without the jeweled headdress. Teen does have the jeweled headdress. Only teen is linked to the Maxis textures. Mesh required, made by DJ_Mur3, get it here. Other meshes included, thanks to VETTY!

NL_Vampire Default.rar has default replacement textures, and a default replacement adult mesh. There is no jeweled headdress for any age. Find more pictures here. Meshes included, thanks to VETTY!

If you would like the Vampire hair to show up in all categories, rather than just Everyday and Formal, download "All Categories Vampire.rar" and replace the "NewFamilyVampire" package with the one from this rar.
If you would like the Ravekimono hair to show up in all categories, rather than just Everyday and Formal, download "All Categories Ravekimono.rar" and replace the "NewFamilyRavekimono" package with the one from this rar.

All files compressed using The Compressorizer!
There was some conflict with other hairs, due to having the same family group. Each of these .rars comes with an extra package file to fix the issue.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much, Layana!

I've been downloading your new coversions lately and was surprise to see my own meshes included. I'm little shame though because my hairs are poorly animated and textured compare to other great meshers since i have never been good at it. *shy*

Thank you for your meticulous touch on these beautiful conversions again. cheers!

Don't be so hard on yourself.. While I'll admit I'd prefer animation, I personally use the default replacement anyway. The textures are great though! Perfect for what I was going for. Not to mention the meshes, for all ages! Thank you.

Sorry.. "Vampire" is just the name of the hair, it's already available for any sim. It's the hair seen here.
The default replacement on this thread changes that hair to this hair.
I think everything else is explained in the download post, but if I didn't clear anything up for you, let me know.

Hrm. I do apologize in advance - this may be the stupidest question asked, BUT: How come all the files are so small? I mean, Melodie's hairs's colour files are over 200kb. The meshes in these are Melodie's, but why are your colour files so much smaller? Is it just that you've used the Compressorizer? (I LOVE that program, btw!) It doesn't make -that- much of a difference when I compress Raon, Peggy or XMS hairs...
Err.. Sorry, just wondering. It doesn't matter, really. The textures look good I'm going to go play a while, see them in game

omgoblin It's because most of the hairs I've done don't actually contain any textures. The textures are already there in your game files, so I just made the files reference those textures.

The hairs in this particular thread are not Melodie9's meshes, by the way.. And a few of these ones do contain textures, and you'll notice the file sizes are quite larger for those ones!
