I've edited some styles to texture reference the opposite gender's textures, where the styles used the same mapping. Preview 1 | Preview 2 | Preview 3 | Preview 4 | Preview 5 | Preview 6 | Preview 7Īll custom 'mirror' colors have been replaced as well as the binned styles. The mesh is a part of the package, as the texture really doesn't work with the original mesh. I also made the mullet style workable through a mesh edit as well as a retexture.

They're good enough for my game you'll have to choose whether or not they're good enough for yours. They aren't perfect I had to do some blending magic with the Maxis textures to get this to work, and as a result the textures a little funky along those seams.

Through careful blending, lots of cursing, and the blessing that is previewing via Milkshape, I managed to retexture these styles in a way that minimizes the weird mapping. Maxis failmapping was in full force in the basegame, with continuous parts of meshes often mapped in completely different places, making it difficult to avoid big, ugly seams with retextures (and in the case of the Short style, even Maxis couldn't avoid such). Some styles are completely retextured, others only softened a bit and recolored.Īllow me to crow: some of these styles were absolute bitches. These replacements cover 56 non-hat Basegame hairstyles the additional 6 hiders hide the styles I loathe too much to touch. This is an ENORMOUS project that started as noodling around to see if I could salvage a few Maxis meshes and grew into an absolute monster.
