I'm gonna try again and lower the hair more to the shoulder so it looks more 'relaxed'. Tapering the ends made it look weird >.<

What I need to do is test one more style, convert all ages for all three styles, make all the colors, test everything and make ingame screenshots. Could be a while, unfortunately as I work alot... But I'll definitely finish these hairs.

Was planning to do this (braids and tiny curl texture combo) for a while, but couldn't figure it out. This comes close to what I want. But, I need to edit the planes to be less flat and add more loose curls. Plus the braids part looks really uniform... hmmm.

Love this one as well, I do agree about the braid though. I'm thinking the Happy Braids for the size would be a great fit. Are you still planning to do the afro style and the full head similar to above? I'm asking because I'd love them so much.

Yes still planning for those
Should I replace the happy braids bit for this 3-d-ish one? Or should I just make this one more natural?

I like the 3D look of these braids and I admit that I like that they would look different to the happy braids, because 95% of my sims wear your hairs so variety is good .
Instructor
#64 Old 5th Apr 2011 at 5:32 PM
Hmm, now that you mention making it natural sort of like your headband afro, would be awesome because we can do braids, curly texture etc. It leaves more room for versatility.

Keep those braids 3D 'cause I want them for TS3! 2D braids look so blurry! And this hairstyle is way too good to miss it :D

I like what you did there and can't see any problems. However I'm hoping you didn't scrap the version of the poofy hair without corn rows since that would really resemble Hermione Granger hair if it were shoulder instead of neck length. Plus if I did a wavy instead of curly texture, I would at last have a sim hairstyle that looks like my own, minus the random tentacle-like locks protruding from my head, the uneven flip at the bottom, and the split ends. In short, a straighter, shoulder length version of the poofy hair without corn rows would resemble my hair on a good day.

I could make the aforementioned hairstyle shoulder length myself, but I'm afraid of hair edits. If I just scaled to make the various hair groups longer, would I need to adjust the UV map very much?

No you can have the uv map remain the same
Or I could make you this hair... do you have some pics I can use?

I have some ideas about that afro texture, but I need some sleep and a good image manip program to spell it out. Be back in nine or ten hours with some thoughts. :3

the hair looks beautiful ... will there be a version with a little headband??? IMO but where the braids in this one end and the curls begin it kinda looks like it needs something there ... but of course ... it would be dependent on Poly count ... would hate for stuff to be really high

What kind of Sim loves like this?

The hair in post 26 is absolutely marvellous (as are all your hairs), and even with my low-end system I would make my Sims wear it. XD

Requests? Yes! See my journal entry for palette options! Shameless plugging of my Sim sites: (TS2) ยท TS4

Yay! :lovestruc I do like the idea of a pack, as it provides so much variety.

The 3D braids look a little odd to me. I'm not entirely sure why though (which is very unhelpful, sorry!). I agree with the suggestions for 2D braids and bandana/headband options. If you did want another, I would suggest removing the braids and making a full loose curls look. There are few decent curly meshes out there and yours is so beautiful so far. It would be lovely to have it as a full hairdo. A full head of curls like Noemie Lenoir's hair would be amazing

Also your ringlet textures are gorgeous and I would love to use them =D

Ohh yes,

this style in particular could use your braid from Tyler's hair.

Since you asked Nouk, I'd like the longer region toward the back made shoulder-length. As for constructive (I hope) criticism, the hair peaks in these sort of triangular crests before transitioning further from the part of the hair toward the main body. This triangular effect bothered me slightly with your Bill Kraulitz hair, so I denoted it with green arrows. I don't know whether the triangular shape of the "bumps" results from stacks of alpha layers and thus is unavoidable with thicker hair styles. Feel free to ask for clarification if I haven't described myself clearly. Although I imagine making the bumps less angular would simply involve a few adjustments with the move tool, this problem isn't major enough to warrant rebuilding the entire mesh and most simmers probably won't notice or care. I'm so glad someone in the free community has the skills and the patience to deviate from the perfect, smooth, generic "Hollywood" hair styles that Peggy and the like obsess about.
