Darker Black Swatch Recolors for @platinumaspiration's Ultimate 4t2 Hair Default Replacement Collection
The amount of work platinumaspiration put into converting this, wow! With animations, so many hats, age & gender conversions, all NPC hairs, repo'd, etc., etc. All my thanks for making a cohesive clay hair-ified TS2 a breeze to set up, and for allowing recolors.
I was glad to see she used the TS4 swatches that are also my faves, though Maxis's black swatches aren't as consistent as I like. There's some that are jet black, some that are gray (like the previews), contrast varies widely, etc. I prefer jet black, which loses some details in the texture but looks the best with all skintones IMO. I used dbasiasimbr's PS action to batch recolor, her Black-Dark Brown Override is one of my TS4 must-haves. Thanks also to all her work! And thanks to @lordcrumps for hosting the previews with sortable filters, made keeping track much easier.
I also recolored some of the pale blond swatches for toddlers to match the dirty blond swatch the other hairs use. All in all, I edited 333 files, so I uploaded each folder separately on SFS (file size limit) or you can download the single .zip from Patreon, for free. Please let me know if I missed a hair or forgot the texture for any accessories/hats!
Default replacements, see LordCrumps' site for previews
