Has anyone made any changes to the hair? Not recolors, but complete
alterations? the hair styles are so basic and blah.

Thanks in advance

Once people have the ability to import meshes into the game, then perhaps
new hair will show up. Until then I am afraid we have to deal with what is
there now and recolors.

It is possible to 'trim' the current hair styles. Tidy up fringes, chop bits
out, etc, but it is a major pain in the neck to work out which bit of the
template goes where.

I remember an excellent web tutorial which explained how to do this using
alpha channels, overlays and such, but never saved it and can't find it
again 8(
Any help here would be gratefully received.

I have to admit the modern 'tatty' women's hair styles make me foam at the
mouth a bit.

Granny.

This site http://www.pronupsims.net/ has some nice styles for download
in different shades.

That's the baby!! Very good, it is. 8)))

The only tip I can pass on is using the 'smudge' tool, very fine along the
edges of a scissor cut straight edge to soften the blow. A sort of
zigg-zaggy movement along the line of hair; bring a bit out, push a bit in,
if you SWIM.

I have suddenly wondered if you can pass a long-hair over to the male side,
by deleting a custom one and renaming it for male use only? Must try.
Perhaps. My Klingons need long waves and ringlets. 8(((
And a nice pink bow?

Granny.

I think people have tried that,(renaming long hair for mens mesh) and it
seems that the skull looks wrong or doesn't fit right ,something like that,
I think Sim males have bigger heads than lady Sims, (who'da thought it)
I like the way you can style your new Avators hair on the main Sims2 site,
why couldn't we do that with our Sims2 hair in CAS.

That figures... The next step is to wonder if you can... no, that wouldn;t
work either. Hmmmm...

You have lost me. I hardly ever go and look at what is happening. Must do

CAS= Create A Sim in the game, (the screen where you make your Sims), and if
you have a simpage on the main Sims2 site, they have new Avatars (those
little things that are supposed to depict you, me, and anyone else using
them), you can tweak around, and the hair can be lengthened widened?
highened? shortened, and all sorts, get thee hence over there and have a
mess about, I'm talking the US site http://thesims2.ea.com/ it's on the
front page "Create- An-Avatar, I don't use the UK site much I prefer the US
one, they seem to have more stuff'n such.
PS I'll post a pic in the binaries of my Avatar, so you can see what I mean.

I shouldn't think so because you can't reassign the mesh.

Yeah - but that avatar's are only 2D - it's much harder to do in 3D.

Got you. 8) Okay. I am with you now.

(the screen where you make your Sims), and if

I can see why you feel aggrieved now and I agree.
Sometimes the Sims in Bosyshop and CAS run amuck. I grew a couple to move
into the Gingerbread House. Mr & Mrs Honeybun. I made the heads very round
and fat with small smiling eyes, fat cheeks, little hooter and moved the
mouth up leaving a large area of double chins. They 'looked' good. Middle
aged, not young adult looking and very jolly.
Then I moved them into the game.
Ugh.

The mouth area was completely wrong because when they smiled, the appearing
teeth did not move with the mouth. Made your flesh creep it did. I have a
shot of Hilda Honeybun who has a mouthfull of tombstones and poor Harry...
Well, his teeth stuck out halfway down his chin.

I decided to leave the house empty. I have a lot of teens growing up. one of
them can move in. 8(

I know there are a lot of animation movements in the face, and when you
think about it, most of the time they are too small to see. But it would be
nice to have a really good fine-tuning face studio. Body shop is pretty
good, though. Don;t get me wrong. I just warp my faces too much, perhaps. I
am lucky the Simpsons animate okay.

Checking it again, I don;t think it is the tutorial I remember. Never mind.
I have the basics under my belt. Now it's just a case of actually completing
something instead of fiddling and giggling at bald patches and bad cuts.

I have long hair for guys modelled from that feathered girls hair..
you know...long..
I wanted to make a Soul Calibur family and that hair was for Siegfried (aka
Nightmare)
but alas...I still haven't found decent white short with purple highlights
for Ivy Valentine although she exists in my game.

ps. I got the long male hair from TSR back when I had a subscription
