it’s finally here! I’ve texture defaulted a bunch of (not all, some are just too uggo to me) base game hairs in the Antoninko afterglow hair system! Why texture defaults? They make use of the hair meshes already in your game (low polycount meshes that won’t tax your PC too), and make bulk creating nice looking townies much easier 💖

You know, I remembered how much I love the Nono hairs, and finally got around to doing Afterglow versions… but I competley forgot how bad the mapping is (on most of these).

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higher poly (over 10000) 4t2 conversions, and I for one really have a love for older and lower poly hairs that were originally made for TS2.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!

I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics of the Sims 3 (it seems to fall in a bad spot of the uncanny valley for me, aha), but I really like Sims 3 hairs converted to the Sims 2, despite all the transparency problems. They usually fall into my preferred poly count range, they're often AABG, and they fit well into my semi-realistic style. I went through the database and found a bunch that hadn't been retextured in Afterglow yet, retextured them... then got really busy and sat on the files for a couple of months. Oh well, if any have been done since, these will still be available in my colour selection, and if you're anything like me, you may like to collect various colours from different creators, aha.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

I downloaded a bunch of older sims from different creators (all of them from defunct Asian sites found here on Simscave), and made them over to my tastes, editing features and using my usual skins to go in my Tokyo inspired neighbourhood as townies ^^
Found that I really need …
