Some while back I decided to go Maxis-match, and I've recently learned to retexture hair, so I figured I might as well get some of my retextures together to share with other folks who prefer a Maxis-matching game.

The textures I use are a heavily folded, spindled, and mutilated version of Piggi's Maxis-match textures, run through an assortment of Photoshop filters and layer effects. For this style, they've been slightly adjusted to better follow the curve of the alpha in some places. The alpha itself has been edited so that the bangs aren't quite so thick and eyebrow-obscuring.
Hair is binned with Theo's binning tool and compressed with jfade's Compressorizer, with no extra texture copies, and a single grey for elders only. Detailed preview available below.
Additional Credits:

S1/S3 Skintone Defaults: mine, forthcoming
Alien Skintone Default: Leh (haven't finished mine)
