Is there going to be a private secret board for this somewhere? Someplace where we can do it without people getting their panties in a bunch?

Well, nectere has said we could use her forum for this. Other than that, there's a few secret boards out there for file sharing.  |

I thought someone had said that but I couldn't remember who. I guess you should delete the link or she should require membership approval or something though because otherwise it won't be secret now. |

I have a lot of binned custom hair.
From most I have removed excess ages (sometimes maybe removing an age that was changed...) and I have also mostly removed the grey hair from all colours except the black, except when that hair was changed in some way. If I had hair that didn't fit into families I just marked the grey not to show so the sims would keep the hairstyle when they aged.
I wouldn't mind sharing if anyone would want any of the hairs I have (all are free) but since I have quite many I really don't know which ones would be of interest.

Really? Where? I have maybe a hundred+ binned and sorted custom hairs, with all colors adjusted to realistic hues - i.e. no purplish-red for redheads. I'd be happy to swap for something. Or even just share. |

I don't think she was keeping it a secret, she did post it in that hair thread before about it. And the site is in her profile. As for the secret board, well....if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret, now would it? |

Seriously, there is a few of them out there, I think. But none of them belong to me, so it wouldn't right to share it.

I hope I am not out of line when I ask this. Would it be possible to have one of you fine people who is more experienced at taking these custom hairs and fixing them (to appear in the proper bin as well as making them use Maxis original colors) to perhaps give us a tutorial to go by as I would definitely be interested in learning to do it myself. As I said I really don't know what is involved but I would certainly be grateful as I can't stand how messy my custom hair section is and I like things to be organized.  |

There is a tutorial found here. Do a search as well, there's a ton of threads that talk about how to do it and various things about it. |

Question for all:
I've binned a lot of custom hair (Mostly Neptune Suzy's, Lyran and Janna), but I don't put them into the correct family. Up until now I hadn't been taking out extra ages. Should I fix them further, or are y'all okay as they are? I'm willing to do the extra work - I'd just have to mess around in SimPE this weekend.

For me personally, I'd rather have hair that was properly categorized with no extra ages, etc. I've not done that myself, which is why I haven't shared any yet.

Katty: Taking out the extra ages, particularly the textures, drastically reduces the file size and over the course of a lot of files this can lead to faster loading times. The game has to take time load everything in every package file in downloads. So if you have a bazillion hairs that all have duplicates of the same Maxis toddler, child, teen, elder etc hairs, it has to load those too and it extends your loading time when starting up the game.

I'm in the process of recategorizing most of my downloaded hair. I am not taking out the extra ages though, because I do a lot of recolours and it messes things up. Still, when I'm done would you guys be interested in properly binned hair from certain *ahem* "donation" sites?
Oh, and a quick question. Is there any way in Simpe to figure out the name of the custom mesh a texture is attached to?

Almost all of the hair I've downloaded I've binned, but I haven't put most of it in matching families yet. I did all of the hair I had by Seomi and then started to feel a little stir-crazy.  I'll probably get all of it done in the next week. I'm happy to share if any of it'd be useful. I'm in the process of recategorizing most of my downloaded hair.

Why yes, yes I would. |

When I edited one of my hairs with Simply Stella's method, the hair dissappeared from my bodyshop. I'm sure I deleted the right things, and besides - every single edited hair went poof. I restored the originals and the hair popped back in. Does this happen for anyone else?

I'll have to look at her tutorial again, I only skimmed it. I know there's some stuff you don't want to yank, but the textures and such can go.
