I haven't seen any retextures of this, and I actually wanted it for a particular sim of mine,
who you'll be able to see once I post some updates for the legacies I'm doing.

mesh is XM sims male hair, number 23.
Textures and colors are pooklets.
Retextured by me,
& Trappingit applied pooklet's colors to my blond retextured image file,
if it wasn't for their help I wouldn't have been able to finish this!

I'm only uploading the naturals today,
but Neons will be done, because trappingit made the neon retexture files for me, too!





And because there seems to be some sort of new fad going on,
I did two different sets depending on how you like your elder hairs

Elders keep their hair color
One grey linked to black


EDIT 7/30/2012: Links were broken, so I re-uploaded the files I had:
DOWNLOAD


sims file share download

I personally like the second option best, because I'm always looking for ways to save file space.
(like using the same face for all ages when making a skin, for example)
But, since trappingit made the white/silver unnatural color for me,
I figured I should put in some extra work and make the two different sets.

Mesh & silver recolor are included in both files,
and there's a bodyshop image of all the angles, too.
Natural hairs are binned.

ENJOY!

Wonderful. <3
:D

Also, thanks for making two versions, I hate it when my elders don't have grey hair... and, er, my harddrive is only 37GB. C:

You're welcome!
I'll always have the version where there's only one grey, because that's the one I use myself. ;D

ah- i made a mistake in my previous comment-
I just wanted to say thank you- because this is a mesh with a lot of promise indeed. I love how the retexture makes it look like it has more volume <3
You're so good at this.

Um, I was wondering something- would it be possible for you to do a conversion ? Im not sure if this is something doa-ble, since I know nothing about meshing or conversions, but its a pretty Sims 3 hair I found which I would love to use in Sims 2- if its possible.

http://mia.xrea.jp/sims3/index.html it looks like this.

Or have you seen anything close to this likeness ?

Im sorry for troubling you- thank you. It's no pressure, just wondering if its possible.

Thank for the comment!

And I'm really sorry, but I don't know the slightest thing about conversions or meshes or sims 3.
If I did, I would do it for you, but I really don't know how.
And I don't even have sims 3.

I'm so pleased to see this - thanks! The original textures have always put me off this cute mesh, but you have completely rescued it!

Thank you! I never used it before, either, until I though it would look perfect on a character-sim of mine. ;D

I don't even remember this mesh existing, but you made it look so great with the new textures. Thanks. Oh, and your blond model is adorable!

I'm so glad! It's always been one of my favorite meshes, because it really looks like hair that a regular guy would have.

And thank you! His name is Wiglaf, and I'll be putting him up for download soon, but he usually wears his hair in dreds.

Hi, I've spotted this hair a few days ago and have been hunting them down (huzzah for finding it) -but no matter what link I click, it keeps saying invalid or deleted file...is this true or is it my computer?
