Adventglow 2024
Description:
I’ve never got around to doing an advent for sims 2 cc, but this year I decided to make one for Afterglow hairs! Why under 2400 poly? because I’m more productive when there’s a limitation, aha; and I felt like a lot of the afterglow hairs being made right now are mostly higher poly (over 10000) 4t2 conversions, and I for one really have a love for older and lower poly hairs that were originally made for TS2. Though I do have a few 3t2 conversions on my list, too!

Adventglow day 5- Sunair T032 + T024, Raon M011
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
T024 and T032 are really just an expansion on Charismatictrait’s retexture and alpha edit of T032, so for the male I did the original alpha with the headband (the headband has edited versions of Sunair’s original headband texture), and for the female I did both alphas.
Adventglow day 6- Peggy Donate 18 & 20

I guess this is technically four versions of one hair? Peggy made a few different alphas for these, but I only did 2.
Adventglow day 7- 3t2 dreads, Peggy free 2 & Rose free 38
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
I had a harder time finding black hairstyles under the poly limit for this lot, which I think is rightfully so considering the amount of detail that goes into them compared to your bog standard straight hairs made of flat planes. The TS3 BG dreads have such a cool look to them I think though, and they come in at under 2k ^^ (I grouped the maxis genders together on this one as they share one mesh). I think Free 38 is based on a character, but no idea who it is. Maybe a fun style for alt and fantasy sims, tho
Adventglow day 8- Peggy free 3, 4, 8 + Raon F030
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
Free 8 has to be my favourite accessory style on my list, its so fun and cute. F030 has a completley reworked alpha by myself, as I wasn’t a huge fan of the flat textured curls. The new straight and shorter alpha ended up really reminding me of Buffy, plus the clip is very pretty. Free 3 and 4 are janky as you’d expect hairs of those age to be, they very narrowly avoided the bin aha
Adventglow day 9- Raon M001, F002, M010 + Flora 15
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
M010 has a lovley 60s feeling around it. Of course, Flora 15 is an old favourite of mine. M001 and F002 show their age, but they’re nice and simple ^^
Adventglow day 10- Raon F028, Sunair T045, Flora 5
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
Two different versions of F028, one using Raon’s alpha and one using Milya / Voleste’s alpha. I think the original is really cute, but it’s nice to get more use out of a mesh! However this mesh does have a small clipping issue on AF, I prefer the look of the other ages. I’ve been reading Neighborhood Story recently and Flora 5 really reminds me of some of Mikako’s hairstyles! It does feel like one of those meshes I love and barely anyone else uses, but all the more reason for me to do it.
Adventglow day 11- Sunair T044, MYOS M05
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
I edited the bangs alpha on T044 so they’re now straight and blunt rather than slanted. M05 is just the same mesh with the two hat options MYOS originally offered, but I did run the Curious B oyster action over the white one to work better with brighter bodyshop lighting. The alpha is actually Simkitty181’s edit rather than the original.
Adventglow day 12- Sunair T029, T034, T043
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
We’re halfway to Christmas! and what could be more festive than a sim wrapped up like a present with a bow? Today is oops! all Sunair, but three reaaly cute festive bow styles ^^ I did a bowless alpha edit of T043 too, as it looks like a nice hair for shy sims.
Adventglow day 13- Raon M006, MYOS M09, Sunair T033 + T048
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
Two Final fantasy hairs today! M006 is Cloud’s hair (and needs mesh fixes, which I may get to later), and M09 is inspired by (but not a direct copy of) Noctis’ hair. Either way they make cool spiky anime-esque hairs which I like to keep around for my Harajuku sims. Then a couple of longer Sunair ‘dos.
Adventglow day 14- Raon M013 + M015
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
Two UU Raon hairs today, but as a warning; they are pretty unoptimised. At least M015 has 4 texture files per colour, but M013 has 8!!! So I ended up just making naturals, and M013 is only in the original Afterglow family. They both could use remapping because everything could really honestly fit on two or less texture images, but for now here's just retextures for what is still, a couple of nice looking unisex hairs.

F020 is a hair I love but I don’t see it around much; it has a male equivalent I found but it’s over 2400 poly so I’ll do it at a later date. Today is just fun hairs for alt sims ^^

Adventglow day 20- MYOS F09, M06, Juice 10 Digi edit, Flora 60
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
I loove F06 in all it’s glory. I wish my hair would do that. Juice 10 is @digisims2’s remapped version and uses Digi’s textures, just with actions run over them. I added patterns back onto the scarf though as I wasn’t a fan of the plain black.
Adventglow day 21- MYOS F04, F05, M20 & Marko Daydream
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
F04 and F05 seem like absolutley perfect magical girl hairs, or just anime inspired sims in general, aha, though I’ll likley be using them for EGL sims. then the other two are dull by comparison… Daydream uses Trapping’s AA mesh, but I merged the family so you get all ages in one package, rather than seperate packages for different ages.
Adventglow day 22- H.lin Hair001, 002, MYOS F02
Completed Project
Project: Adventglow 2024
by katsurin
We’re almost through with these! grouped these together as they’re a lot more regular person type hair than the next two days, but they’re still charming. I used a tortoiseshell texture for the clip on F02 as the white was looking quite flat aha.

Happy Christmas eve! Quite a few hairs to finish us off here, however in all this month I still didn’t entireley finish off my list of hairs under 2400 poly that I liked. So I’ve got a nice little backlog of low poly hair that I can retexture at a later date, and now I’m not self confined to under 2400 poly specifically I could maybe add some more to that list from the under 5000 category, which should be fun.
