More Awesome Than You!

Does anyone have Sunair's hairs properly binned with the unecessary toddler/child/teen duplicate hairs removed? And they're willing to share them with me?

I recently grabbed them from PMBD, and I really like them, but I've been having difficulty binning them properly with Theo's tool. For some reason, the wrong toddler/child/teen hairs are *still* in, and the elder hair is turning up as brown instead of white/grey. It's getting very frustrating since I don't know enough about this stuff to know what I'm doing wrong, or what I need to do to get it right. :}

Did you make sure you unchecked the ages properly?

At one stage I had done them all, but as time has progressed I've deleted most of them, so there's probably only around 3-4 that are still in game that I could send you.

I don't know enough to tell you what's going wrong, just that I've done those very same hairs and not had any problems at all...  so something somewhere must be messed up.

Try turning on the "Remove unchecked recolors" option, as it appears that leaving them in the package may sometimes cause problems  in the output.
You can see an example here: http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?p=1333068#post1333068 , I think that is what you're referring to.

And when the texture doesn't appear, or a wrong color is displayed instead, you can try to turn off the Texture compression option, at the expense of a bloated package file. :P

Hope this helps.

I'll give that a try. Thanks Theo.

I have a lot of Sunair's hair, properly binned and ages removed (did them by hand, not with the binning tool). I can send them when I get home.

I'd like those too - I binned all her hairs (that I have) ages ago but I'm too lazy - no too bored and irritated by the prospect - of sorting out hair files again.  I binned all my hairs a year ago and sorted out elder hairs and children's hairs to match properly (I didn't know about removing ages then) and swore I would never do it again.  I only dl properly binned hairs now which have been properly worked through all ages - or all ages that are present.  I do not accept black-haired children for blonde adults, I do not accept ignored elders. 

God, that experience soured me.

Actually, could I get those too? Once upon a time, I'd binned them. Then I had to reinstall, and like the idiot I am, forgot to backup my downloads folder, and everything was deleted. All that work binning hair, down the drain. Sigh.

i like her hairs, but are they animated? i don't like hairs that don't move when they should.

some are, some aren't.

There's one particular one that is very nice and animated, and two that aren't but still look kind of ok, and I think they are the only ones that stayed in my game.

can i get them too?

Me too, pretty please?

You could post it in the Peasantry, so everyone could have a shot!  ;D
