Now my texture defaults for NL hairs are done, I needed to remake my obaasan Matchmaker and Crumplebottom defaults! + bonus retexture under the cut (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)
These are just the hairs, fot the clothes, makeup and accessories in the picture, you need to have a look at my 2023 post, which itself was a retooling of my 2019 defaults.
For the matchmaker hair, I kept it as the established tight wave hair, but swapped the textures with alanna-goth’s afterglow retexture. pretty straightforward!
For Crumplebottom though, I wasn’t too happy with the elder hair I was using previously, so went looking for something I felt fit a bit better with my current vision for mean obaasan Crumplebottom. This turned out to be a real struggle and I learned I actually don’t have many options for my kimono clad elders that I’m happy with, and that’s a pain. landed on Helga 80 even though it’s similar to the BG low bun as it’s sleeker and well styled and fits well with wafuku, but ideally I’d have wanted something more similar to the poofy but sleek 50’s inspired buns you see on elders in wafuku oftentimes. Just turns out that’s quite hard to find without loose strands every which way so I may have to fix that at some point- not that I’m surprised as hairstyles geared towards elders are fairly few and far between in sims 2 cc aha.
Of course in order to make crumplebottom’s hair replacement, I needed to retexture Helga 80 in afterglow, so here’s that in custom version! Turns out this hair has surprisingly poor mapping, but not the worst I’ve seen, either.
- Helga 80, TF-EF, 4894 polys, 1 binned afterglow family in one file. Mesh and volatile base texture included in zip.

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

First is a flowerless edit of my hairfowers default, made with an alpha that’s closer to JA’s pooklet default. I made this because Tamaki’s kanzashi hair was just this hair

I do love a good mullet. Instead of doing plain unnaturals this time I did binned streaked families in the style of DSB’s original textures- there’s 2 streaked families each
Adventglow day 14- Raon M013 + M015

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.
