More Awesome Than You!

Posting to share the maid hair with the frilly cap removed.  The hair works quite well as an updo on its own, with the cap taken off.  I made this a while ago, but was mostly inspired to share it after seeing that the same hairstyle (sans cap) is being offered at TSR as a pay item.  This is to spite them for asking people to subscribe to buy an in-game, EA hairstyle that they haven't made (seriously, it takes a minute to remove the cap and anyone with the tools can do it).

This mesh replaces the current maid hair; when the tools come out to make non-replacement hair, I will upload a version that does not replace it.  Because it's a replacement, you must type in "unlockoutfits on" or "disableclothingfilter on" (the latter, only if you have AM) in order to access it.  Works for teen, YA/A, and elder.

Very nice job, we need more 'sassy' hairstyles.  ;)
I will definately sownload the non-replace version when it comes.

Lovely replacement! Thanks for sharing with us.

So dumb that TSR made this pay. Ugh.

If you get a moment would you mind explaining the steps you use to do this? I tried alpha editing the shaggy male hair to raise the bangs so you could actually see their eyes (and so I might actually want to use it :P) but I clearly did something wrong when I repackaged it because it crashed my game when I tried to select it in the CAS. :P

It's also like to make that male 'sticking up' hair less (or not at all!) sticking up. Then, again, I would actually use it as I don't now.

Oh you should probably repost the 'pineapple-less' hair either here in the first post below the bun one or else in its own thread. Several people have asked for it and I've directed them to your post in the SAU hair thread, but it's kind of buried.

Hm, I like it. So you mean we can create sims in CAS with this hair AND have hatless maids? Alright, it sounds good. Thank you.

I ar no brain.  I downloads and puts in me mods/packages/etc. folders and deletes caches and still no haers.  What has I do wrong?

ETA: Need to point out I do have AM and I did uses disableclothingfilter on codes.  Other haers show up but maid still has hatses.

I was thinking that this looks just like the hair in Jelly's avatar.

Did you dump all four cache files first?

I did! (o_O)

When called on it:

I got your lovely hairs yesterday, Oepu, and they work fine in my game. No crashes or anything. I'm glad to be able to thank you

It seems to have the maid hat still on at farther zooms.  Otherwise it's perfect - free, non-replacement, etc.

Yeah, the 'pineapple-less' hair does that too. Seems he didn't change the alpha on the LOD meshes.

Sorry for not checking back in on this before now.

The maid hair I replaced should not display a cap at further out levels (I believe that witchzenka was referring to oepu's link, rather than mine).

The pineapple hair does show as the original when you zoom out; I neglected to change the LOD versions accidentally.  I'll make a new version which replaces them all and upload that.

Motoki, I edited the meshes rather than any alpha files; I moved the pieces of the pineapple spray thing inside of the head, and shrunk the cap so it is invisible.  I haven't tried altering any alphas as of yet.  If you want further details/steps on how I did this, I can PM you.

Is yours still a replacement, or has it been updated?

Yes, I'm sorry, I should have been more clear, I was referring to the one at Oepu's link.  The creator is trying to fix that now. 
However, if yours is non replacement, I would snap that up in a heartbeat.

Very funny things happen from game  to game. I placed the german maid hair in my game and didn't get it at all. Instead it unlocked the Mad Scientist hair (the one you would get if you stayed in front of a strong ventilator  :D
