Arcia's Lea Hair With Bangs + Repo'd Recolors
There are too few curly hairs out there, and even less curly hairs with bangs, so as a curly girl I decided to ta saken i egna händer 💃
This is Arcia's Lea hair but with bangs for AF-EF. You can use both my mesh and Arcia's original at the same time. I repo'd half of the textures back to mhairdavid from M&G, which I defaulted using these textures from @y2sims. This means that both M&G and my default are required for my recolor files of the hair to show up correctly. If not using my default, the hair will look weird. Since I defaulted using the textures from y2sims, I re-used y2sims' recolor file, meaning you have to delete their file before installing mine.
Polycount: 1.8K *smiles delightfully*
Texture size: 512x512 (+ repo'd to Maxis' textures)
Unfortunately my bangs have some transparency issues I don’t know how to fix. I tried merging them with a variety of groups but it didn't help sadly.
While I was at it, I made *new recolors for Arcia's original Leah hair and repo'd them back to Maxis' textures and to the textures in my edit of y2sims' recolor file I mentioned above. I also repo'd the male recolor file from y2sims' for Acria's male Leon hair, to umhairdavid. Again, I re-used their file so make sure you delete it as well. Basically, if you install all files, you get 3 (4 if you include Maxis david hair!) hairs all using the same textures. If you're confused which files are dependent on what and which files you must delete, there is a clear list included in the download<3
*Using @deedee-sims' recolors as a base, bc for some reason the gray hair didn't show up when cloning using Arcia's files. My files don't conflict with DeeDee's.
^Shitty bodyshop preview of the other meshes from Arcia included in this download.
Other defaults for hairdavid, if they are created the correct way (i.e made with new resources, not replacing the textures like I did in my default), they should be compatible with my default. Oh and also, I merged the AM/EM Leon hair with the TM version (because why have two files when you can have one?) so delete any Leon meshes you might have and replace it with mine. I would love a TF version of Lea and my v2 version (with bangs) but I'm not talented enough to try and do that 🤡
This hair is very similiar to my own hair irl, so I made a second brown recolor matching my hair color. This is included and I've merged every rec for all meshes inside it, so this single file (this specific brown recolor that is) will work with all of the meshes included. I think I have binned it correctly? Do let me know if anything in this download is wonky, I'm sure I have fucked up somewhere haha. Compressed, no mipmaps and all meshes are included with thanks :-)
I've had this hair in my folder since 2021. Everytime I poke at hairs I remind myself of how much I absolutely despise it. You hair meshers/converters/recolorers out there are SUPERHUMAN, I could never!!
Credits: Arcia for the hair meshes, y2sims + deedee-sims for the textures and files, and lastly Maxis.
