How difficult is it, and what is involved, in correcting the neck gap you see on some of the hair meshes? Because I have a few hairstyles I absolutely love, but have this neck gap that just creeps me out when I can see her teeth from the back. Any help or guidance to a tutorial, etc. would be mucho appreciated.  |

Like MINE?
I finally switched hairstyles because it bugged me so much. But I would love to find out how to do this, too.

Yeah, yours, but I rarely noticed that one. There's this hairstyle from TSR that I really love (a sort-of wavy, loose ponytail) and it has the gap too. If it didn't, I'd probably put it on every Sim.  |

I know exactly which hairstyle you're talking about. I have the same one, and it drove me nuts.

I'm not a mesher, so I can only guess, but I would bet it's the problem NeptuneSuzy mentions here: http://www.personal-computer-tutor.com/sims2/suzysclothingtut.htmAnd if either of you are brave SimPE-using souls you could try to fix those hair meshes by following the above tutorial. If you do, best of luck and please let us know the results!  |

Thanks, I'll take a look at it when I'm not at work and I am going to brave it. Maybe.

I wish I hadn't wasted my free 30-day trial of milkshape last year...  Nevermind, I got another one. Now I just have to get brave enough to dig in...Thanks for the link, simliterati! |

Good luck! I was trying to fix the backward cap gap, so maybe "just plain hair" will be easier.

Well Blue, if you can get it to work you can always stick the paper bag over their head. No gap!

Actually I havent started yet, I went to bed last night instead. (I know I know...but I was tired!)
Heck I havent even reinstalled milkshape yet. But I am going to tonight unless something earth shattering comes up. I am still trying to decide what to use as a base, I think it would be cool if the bag never came off, so I guess it would have to be hair. I am going to put little cutouts where the eyes and mouth are so they will still look "normal" when they eat etc. (or makeout with an unsuspecting sim!) I have one question though, what age group? All? I guess if its hair it would be genetic, but I think I know a way around that....it would be pretty hilarious to see a family of bag heads aha!

I was thinking of it being like a face mask or something (full-face makeup or glasses-based maybe?), so that it would be used for Sims who were just too damn ugly to go outside and scare the poor Simmie children. If it could be for all ages from child-up, and for men and women, that would be ideal, and how you describe it sounds perfect to me. |

Go for accessories.
You can change it in simpe so they don't come off when people change clothes.

So what's the new non-hole-in-head Brynne? |

She had a hairstyle from Sunair for awhile, now it's a light-brown recolour of the hair I have.

That's a pretty drastic change. Where's the new official Brynne, and why hasn't Brynne announced this? Does it also have a hole in head?

It's only a recolour, so no, no hole in head. And perhaps Brynne is on her own site saying this. |

THERE IS NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATING THAN THIS!  But, I may be in the home stretch of this modification. We'll see. |

Yes, Val no longer has the gap hairstyle. But she is blonde again. My game, my me, I can do that. I had this, but it doesn't move. Although this is probably the closest to my real hair:  Then I had this, which is closest to my real hair after going without a haircut for too long (kinda like now)  Then I decided to get a jump on summer and go blonde.  |

Are you seriously telling me I've spent 3 and a half hours on this, and you've moved on? By the way, where did you get that hair? |

You knew I "moved on", goofball. That doesn't mean I won't go back to that hairstyle at some point, I just like to change it up a bit. I'll find out about that hair for you, though. |

I knew you moved on, I just thought I'd try righteous indignation for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into this so far, and all the time I'm still going to put into it since apparently I missed a step and have to do it all over again with the Mesh Tool from the currently broken MTS2. Pain is a sign you're still alive... Pain is a sign you're still alive... Pain is a sign you're still alive... |

Well, if you're able to successfully fix that gap, many many people will be muchly happy. Myself among them.  I put in a couple of hours the other day on that backwards cap and gave up. I feel your pain. |
