Donwload not included, so not for Pudding Factory: New Hair CC by Peggy

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

Hmm well it is peggysims who I hate for charging for things that are not legally supposed to be charged for, but she made a new hair that replaces the woman's mohawk.

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

Hm, if it could be used without replacing the mohawk (which I like), then I might try it out.

[Drakron]

Well I could say its a step forward but not so much when it replaces a existing hair.

[minidoxigirli]

I downloaded it.  I'll report back in a minute or two.

EDIT: First EA patch wants to download!
" Complete list of changes:
Addresses some issues with Speed 2 and 3 moving too slowly. Some machines will have better results when using Speed 2 and 3 now.
Fix to story progression on/off selection toggle.
Fix for a possible crash with audio code.
Fix for babysitter routing off lots with babies.
Addresses some issues with Vsync and refresh rate problems.
Addresses some issues with DVD authentication errors and drive compatibility on startup.
This update deals with some issues on Mac systems that can crash the game while connecting to AFP servers.
Fix for a freeze that can occur when Sims attempt to clean out bad food from the fridge."

EDIT2: All the color sliders work, but the thumbnail isn't updated.

Are the crashes happening just when the hair is being used, or simply when the package is installed?

[Drakron]

I taken a test run with that Peggy Hair and it seems to work as acceptable as the game hairs.

[minx]

i downloaded it a few hours ago as per the instructions and it was crashing my game to desktop at random intervals and in buy mode. removed it and the crashing has stopped entirely. makes me sad, cuz i really loved it..it was perfect for my selfsim!

[Drakron]

Well that explains why it crashed to desktop when I entered Build Mode when I had it installed.

[Roflganger]

Works just fine for me, no crashing in Build or Buy mode yet.  And it's prettier than I expected. I hadn't actually planned to keep this hair on her, but now I just might.

Edit:  I should have known.  After using it for hours, I suddenly crashed, and I've never had an in-game crash before.  I'm trying again to rule it out as a fluke, because I really do like the way the hair looks on this Sim.

That would be my primary complaint, as well.

Do the colour wheel options work with it?

Yup, they work perfectly.  I'm scared of it if it will crash my game, though.

[LFox]

Anyone who charges for sims content needs to have their legs broken.  I swear you don't have this kind of trouble with TES games.

Nice hairstyle pitty it doesn't work properly yet.

[Roflganger]

Just to confirm, this appears to be repeatedly crashing my game.  After crashing, I tried removing the mod and deleting caches, but it continued to crash on loading.  I could only get the game to load by adding the mod back in.  I changed the hair back to an EA mesh and removed the mod, so hopefully that's the end of that.

[Slymenstra]

This crashes my game to desktop as well.  I found my common thread was I went to map view and zoomed waaaay out, then as I was zooming back in on my female sim I CTD.  I did this repeatedly to see and it did this every time.  I removed it and no longer crash.

Might have something to do with how it is loaded from a distance?

It was nice looking hair.  I prefer not to override things...can not wait until we can get CC again like in Sims 2.

Remember, paysites must be destroyed.

[Doc Doofus]

Ugh...  I think Peggy deserves a big pat on the back for bringing out the first CC hair.  But, personally, I think it's an awful hair.  We got so used to the huge EA foreheads on the TS2 women that I think, maybe, Peggy couldn't find proper perspective to make a new hair without inserting another big TS2-style forehead.  Totally misproportioned.

[wes_h]

I have verified that the tool she used to edit the mesh prohibits commercial use or redistribution restrictions, by license.

It was made using the vertex format used for clothes (as MilkShape in it's current version does not support the extra color channel data used in hair and faces). I do not know if that is related to the crashes reported, though.

<* Wes *>

[Rockermonkey]

I can't say I like the hair. And I won't be downloading it, no crashes so far, and I'm not planning on them.

But kudos to her for giving us our first hair mesh

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

Ya I agree, the hair on the sim make it look like it have a forehead bigger than its face.

[Roflganger]

Ya I agree, the hair on the sim make it look like it have a forehead bigger than its face.

That might be down to my suckitude at making Sims... Even with Maxis hair she has a highish forehead.  The Peggy hair does seem to accentuate it though.

That's more of a fivehead or a sixhead... good lord.. (edited for Roflganger. No, the forehead isn't big because of your simming skills. When I clicked on the image on Peggy's own site the poor sim looked like she had some sort of congenital birth defect  Your forehead simply looks bigger because you didn't put on enough trashy makeup on the face to draw attention away from the forehead.)

I wasn't expecting much when I heard Peggy made it. I only downloaded her stuff so I could make my townies look like hookers if I wanted to.  I could see myself using the Peggy hair for some townies I don't intend to play. Sometimes if I run into townies with identical hairdos, I will change the hair of one. If I don't really care about them - they get a haircut that I'd never actually use on a playable, but isn't over the top fugly.

My question though - as bad as it is, it's much better than the bicycle helmet Is it possible to use the mesh but make it overwrite something that I would never inflict on any sim under any circumstances?   No sim deserves the helmet.

[Emma]

No gaps in this hair then? But that is a Peggy trademark!

[tizerist]

Remember that you have to delete CASThumbnails.package to see the  new picture in the list

[Zazazu]

Peggy hair always has huge foreheads and poofs at the top of the head. That's trademark. It's been increasing through the years, along with her greed.

[anyeone]

I like the hair, but then again I live in Texas, the big hair capital of the Western World.  I will never, ever use the women's mohawk so I am not particularly bothered that it replaces it.

However, if it causes crashes and/or must be purchased, screw that!

(Paysites must die, yada yada).

[GnatGoSplat]

Never been on that site before today... wow, the foreheads are insane, on her Sims 2 stuff too.
