A default replacement for fhairmessysideknot using @pforestsims recolors of GoAmazons Panda, 4t2 converted by @shiftingparadymes. For PF-EF, with mesh edits by Pforest and me. Polycount: 5.1k.
You'll have to choose between V1 and V2 depending on which recolor you want as your brown (V1 is green, V2 is pink).
An edited mesh file for @shiftingparadymes 4t2 GoAmazons Panda based on this mesh edit by @pforestsims + PF-CF recolors to match Pforest's TF-EF ombres. Polycount: 5.1k
My recolors are familied with and repo'd to Pforest's recolors which are therefore required.
My edits are built on Pforest's TF-AF edits. Polycounts are unchanged from original, still compatible with existing recolors (see existing recolors on the database).
AF (shown in shiftingparadymes grey) ↓
Pforest matched the scalp vertices, tweaked the front and back of the hair and added animation. I matched the scalp normals and further smoothed the normals along the middle part.
TF (shown in Pforest ombre 01) ↓
Pforest matched the scalp vertices, tweaked the front and back of the hair and added animation. The animation on the left side was assigned to r_hair, I changed it to l_hair. I matched the scalp normals, further smoothed the normals along the middle part and lowered the hair.
Child (shown in shiftingparadymes red) ↓
I matched scalp vertices and normals, smoothed normals all over, added animation, edited the hair bone assignment at the nape in the same way Pforest did for TF-AF, raised the hair a bit.
Toddler (shown in shiftingparadymes blond) ↓
I matched scalp vertices and normals, smoothed normals all over, added animation, edited the hair bone assignment at the nape in the same way Pforest did for TF-AF, fitted the hair to the skull more closely.
This is this edit by @pforestsims of Drpixelfan's AF conversion of Raon M017, that I put on a new mesh file and converted for PU-EU. Everything is on new files because I want to be able to have both this hair and Raon's original M017 in my game. Polycount: 2.8k.
There's 2 sets of recolors:
• one using these textures by @goatskickin, which are pooklet recolors of Bosie's texture with Bosie's alpha. I added a mailbomb for elders. Binned & familied.
• one using these textures and alpha by @pforestsims. I added BrightBlue, DkBlue and Lilac. In the custom bin.

Meshes
AF (shown in Goat Pyrotechnic) ↓
This is pretty much PForest's mesh except I stretched the two longest strands on the sides of the head so they would start higher (otherwise you could see them floating at certain angles). I also removed the animation. Long story short, it was easier to have no animation on any of the meshes because, in my interpretation of my experience, animation gets more or less intense depending on which Maxis mesh you clone to put the GMDC on, and with the meshes I picked I ended up with intensified animation that caused a lot of clipping. So I decided it wasn't worth spending time trying to improve that for such a short hair. And no I'm not taking about when the hair looks off because the skeleton of the GMDC doesn't correspond to the Maxis mesh you cloned, I did make sure they'd correspond.
TF (shown in PF Green) ↓
The TF scalp is rounder than the AF scalp because the AF scalp is PForest's edit while the TF scalp is standard Maxis. Should I have either replaced the AF scalp with a standard one or edited the TF scalp so it matches AF more? Yeah probably (I didn't know which one would be best so I did neither T.T ).
AM (shown in Goat Dynamite) ↓
Now allow me to complain about how Maxis not only decided that F and M feet mappings should differ, but F and M scalp mappings should too. Like AF & TF are exactly the same, then AM, TM, CU & PU are variations on the same outline (with the AM scalp being noticeably higher poly than the others - god if only the AM fat morph could be as smooth as the AM scalp). Anyway since I tend to like hairs with undercuts I am quite familiar with this issue by now. This time around I straight up recreated the CU & PU scalps from an AF one (will use again in the future probably). For AM & TM, I just fiddled with the mapping as I usually do.

I complain but beside looking awesome this hair was actually quite fun and straightforward to age convert ^^
Stealthic Honey, 4t2 converted by @powerpcinside, recolored and mesh-edited (see details under the cut). For CF-EF. Polycount lowered from 12k to 10.2k.
I kept the original texture but darkened the most intense highlights. Colors are my usual palette + 7 unbinned unnaturals + 5 binned recolors with strands:
I use Grenade both as a blond for toddlers-adults and as a grey for elders - if you don’t want Grenade for elders, delete the files that end with “_grenade_EFgrey”.

Mesh stuff and color credits below.
Mesh edits
• fixed scalp showing through the hair on AF.
• fixed transparency - this one at least:
You'll see in the before/afters below that the trade-off is an accentuated transparency line at the top of the head in front view (it's not really noticeable during normal gameplay).
• redone bone assignment without animation. There was animation up the roots of the hair at the front, which caused clipping into the face when the sim moved their head.
• general reshaping + removal of some parts hence the poly reduction.
• improved mapping of the half-up hair at the back (it's always awkward with mapping like this one, I kinda just moved that one vertex around until I was happy enough with what I was seeing).
• TF & child reconverted from edited AF.

Edits
The TF mesh was clipping with a lot of my face templates so I fiddled with it a bit to alleviate that.
I also replaced the child & toddler scalps in an attempt to do something that didn't pan out (it won't make a difference unless you're looking to make a dramatic alpha edit, just saying for transparency).
The scalps were peaking through at certain angles so I added textures to them so the hair looks fuller.

Mesh edits & added ages
• Replaced higher-poly scalps with Maxis ones.
• Other than that, the polycount reduction is mostly from deleting faces on the inside of the hair where the head hides them anyway. Also deleted a panel out on the left side that was only picked up by 2 small strands of texture. I didn't delete anything at the ends of the hair to shorten the mesh.
• Fixed some dark spots.
• Re-converted TF from AF.

The knee situation on those meshes has been addressed by CatOfEvilGenius and Pforest before but my knees didn't end up quite as wide as theirs. Beside that, I was interested in changing the normals on those sandals and well, the difference looks more stark in Milkshape than in game but still:

Mesh edits
On all ages, fixed overlapping layers:
On AM, TM, CU & PU, replaced the non-standard scalps with standard Maxis ones (amhairbald, tmhairbald... - I had to edit the mappings though). Beside the shape changes, this fixes the gaps behind the ears on CU and at the back of the head on PU. Also lowered the hair on TM.

Mesh edits
The mesh I used is the one I took from Simborg's bulk upload. Compared to Martini's original, it has a fixed toddler scalp and the non-standard CU-EM scalps were replaced with standard ones. I assume these changes are the work of Simborg (I'm the one who added the info about that on the database after seeing the discrepancies and comparing meshes in Milkshape but if Simborg could confirm I'd be more at peace. Edit: confirmed!).
All I did on top of that was to nudge the front part of the AM hair forward because it clipped with most of my face templates.
A question for people who know how to make face sliders, such as @simnopke, @withlovefromsimtown (feel free to ignore): is there anything that would technically prevent the creation of a slider that changes the thickness of sims' necks?
I understand that such a slider would cause a mismatch between the part of the neck that belongs to the face mesh and the part of the neck that belongs to the body mesh, that's fine, I could make bodies to match.

Heterochromia accessories
These have no effect on sims' genetics, they're just accessories covering the left and right eyes on PU-EU meshes by @simnopke (included in the downloads).
↳ Download blind heterochromia: SFS / Google Drive
↳ Download Keep It All Inside heterochromia: SFS / Google Drive
I gave them custom thumbnails (which took ages to add to all 100 of them ngl) or they would have been hard to distinguish in CAS.
\\\\\\\
As mentioned on Nopke's post, the heterochromia accessories will look better on some eye shapes than on others.
Some things I found:
• heterochromia accessories don't work well with memento's eyelash slider:
• but they do work well with Digi's eyelash slider
• and I think they work well with @applewatersugar aka Piper's eyelash remover (default face replacements). I see no reason for compatibility issues but I've had this thing happen on some recolors while I had the mod in and I don't know why:
Let me know if you've experienced this and if you know more about it.
• @memento-sims 4t2 Dreads Half Up SP05 in my usual palette, with mesh edits (see under the cut). I used memento's EA texture and alpha + blended a bit of @simborg retexture (bulk upload part 2) in the Sorath recolor to tone down the contrast. For CM-EM. Polycount: 4.3k.
• a new hair made from 4t2 Dreads Half Up and the cowboy hat from mhairhatcowboydome, also in my usual palette. For TM-EM. Polycount: 3.6k. Hat flag, not towniefied, only enabled for everyday, outerwear & maternity.
