💿The Afterglow Hair System Starter Hair Dump💿

This has been brewing up since July but I'm very happy to say I'm finally done with this! The Afterglow Hair System is basically Sunshine and Zeb blended 50/50 because I wanted something softer than sunshine that still has depth. The natural colours are Poppet V2 Black, Skittles Hair System Brown, Io honey, a ginger I made and Pooklet Mail Bomb; The unnatural colours are Pooklet TNT, FurbyQ Afterglow, a green I made, Wyxii Mint, Pooklet Shock Wave, Poppet Lavender, Skittles Hair System Wild Berry and Pooklet Powder Cake; Swatches, more info and download under the cut!

Some people have had trouble downloading these, likely due to the size of the archives. Here are the exact same hairs reuploaded in four parts instead of two: http://www.simfileshare.net/download/5714061/ http://www.simfileshare.net/download/5714062/ http://www.simfileshare.net/download/5714063/ http://www.simfileshare.net/download/5714064/

Lottie-sims + sims2defaults database updates

• The tumblr blog of @lottie-sims doesn't exist anymore, not sure how long it's been. They were a prolific CAS defaults creator but inactive for years I believe. If you still have defaults made by lottie-sims, it would be amazing if you could send them my way so I can reupload them to the SFS of the sims2defaults database and update the broken links.

• As you've probably heard, GOS was dead for a few weeks, and now it's back upgraded to a newer format (see technical info here). This upgrade has one consequence for the sims2defaults database: none of the links to GOS are properly dead but the digitalperversion.net links don't get automatically redirected anymore, so the older defaults that were posted on GOS are a bit trickier to access. @latmosims made a helpful redirecting browser extension for Chrome and Firefox which I would recommend. However I don't expect everyone to use it so I'll be updating all the digitalperversion.net links. Edit: the redirect was fixed, no need for the extension anymore!

• I'm still not done replacing the imgur pictures on the hair pages, sorry it's taking forever. I had to take a break that ended up lasting many weeks but I'm back on it now. The new Dreamwidth-hosted pictures appear to take longer to load, when they load at all. Sorry about that, it sucks but we don't have a better solution to the UK imgur ban right now. I recently switched to DuckDuckGo as my main browser and I find that the database loads faster and more reliably than with Firefox or Chrome, you may want to try and see.

Update

Thank you to everyone who sent their lottie-sims defaults! In the end it turns out the Wayback Machine has what looks like the vast majority of them saved, if not all of them, so I feel very silly for asking you all for help when it might not be necessary at all in the end 😅 I was able to fix all the F hair links today while @simsmadegeeky got started on the clothing.

Instead of replacing the broken links with direct links to Lottie's SFS obtained through the Wayback Machine, we decided to download everything and reupload it to the sims2database's SFS. It takes longer but it's safer in case Lottie's SFS goes down. Simsmadegeeky also found that Lottie has a Dreadmwidth where a portion of their stuff is mirrored (no hair, just part of the clothing). It's always nice to link to posts that give credit and links to the original CC so we'll link to that blog wherever possible.

Update 2

All* lottie-sims links have been fixed, or should have been. If you find a broken one please notify us in the comments under this thread. Thank you for your patience, and thank you again to everyone who took the time to send their files.

*We are only missing one, the am-embodycoach default:

I put the entry in the graveyard for now, if you have it feel free to send it over there, or under here, or in my DMs.

*Also, their tmhairsurferteen default file is broken, or at least the version that we retrieved from the Wayback Machine is.

I initially put the entry in the graveyard hoping that someone would have an non-broken version and send it, but someone trying to be helpful directed us to the same link to the broken file we already had and I fear that's gonna keep happening if we leave it there, so it's on the tmhairsurferteen page now. It's not unlikely there never was an non-broken version, but if you have it, we'd love to have it.

Hi! Your sims always look amazing! Could you please recommend some default face templates you use in your game?

Hi! Most of the face templates I use are non-default, but currently my defaults are these, combined from a few different sets:

Pooklet We've got obsessions set, terrakosmos May 11 set, I don't remember what DJMK or "facefile04-emed" are, Rented-space set.

As for non-defaults:

DeeDee Kahlena CMP set, DeeDee Pooklet September set, "NDR" sets by isbrealiomcaife, DeeDee Whysim 2 and the Trapping face templates I don't remember where I got from but this is what's inside the folder:

The sims on my CC previews rarely have faces that are straight up existing face templates since I make more or less extensive tweaks to prevent the exact same faces from repeating.

Also the skins and skin details you use have a massive impact on what your sims look like (I'm currently using these skins and feeling the need to make skin details make-up for them).

#sims 2 #replies #resources

The modest swimsuit from the previous post converted for more body shapes: • Melodie9 Fat Family TF, AF, EF • Skinny Family TF, AF, EF • MartaXL AF-EF • Lady Apple TF, AF-EF • Dummy Thicc TF, AF-EF (with DTlk variant) • Athletic Girl TF, AF-EF

The meshes are fully morphed, polycount is 4k for all. The recolors are categorized as swimwear only and BSOK'd. They can be either standalone or repo'd to Maxis-size AF (from the previous post). Only the outfits are included, you can download the headscarves from the previous post.

Modest swimwear made up of an outfit + headscarf combo. The AF meshes were beautifully converted from TS4 by @platinumaspiration. I fiddled with them a bit and converted for: • Maxis-size TF, EF • Lifa's trans TM, AM-EM • Momma Lisa AF-EF • Trans Momma Lisa AM-EM (Edit: more body shapes here.)

Fully morphed. Polycounts: outfit: 4k // headscarf: 1k. They come in EA colors + 5 recolors from this set by @bokchoijo + a green I added.

The non-AF recolors can be standalone or repo'd to AF. The recolors for the custom body shapes are BSOK'd. The outfits are categorized as swimwear; the headscarves are in the custom hair bin, enabled for all categories, hat flagged, not towniefied.

I believe this very cute hair that goes by "afro-sims-for-you Puffy With Pin" was made by Gloriana (mesh name "MESH_Glo-pypy-afro"). To my knowledge the only trace of it left was from Socialbunny's recolors (direct link), that's where I got it from.

It was for YF-EF only so I converted it for PF-TF and remade Socialbunny's recolors with the added ages. Polycount: 4.3k. Colors are Poppet V2 naturals; binned and familied, grey linked to black. I also did a set of recolors with the pins alpha-edited off:

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but do you happen to know any cc-free or cc-lite custom hoods (no made over Maxis hoods) that come with fully decorated houses? I can't build or decorate to save my life and I just want to plop my sims in the neighbourhood and start playing immediately.

Hi! I'm not super aware of the custom neighborhoods that are out there but I would point you to the neighborhoods section on MTS. Maybe people seeing this post can give more specific suggestions.

The only CC-free custom hood with fully decorated houses that I've ever tested is the one I made a few years ago, Oaken Valley. It has an unpopulated version so you can play your own sims. It's quite rural and not very elaborate (in line with the lore), which may or may not work for you.
