Zinny Male hair 05 in Afterglow

This one's a bit of an odd one out, I really couldn't find much info on Zinny and there's only one other hair mesh of theirs publicly available, which I won't be retexturing without extensive edits because it's a mess (so many texture files, and one age's mesh is 20k polys where the other is like 4k, aha). Apparently there once existed a non-hat version of this hair, but Zinny only shared it with friends, and it was never publicly available, and thus is lost to time. The hat is similar to some other hairs out there, but the mapping is a bit different.

Zinny Male hair 05, CM-EM, Afterglow blended with Zinny's textures, 1 afterglow family & 1 alternative family binned in one package each + 9 unbinned customs, 4010 poly. Download

Important: As all colours have the same hat, I took the hat texture and put it in a separate file labelled 'Katsu-Zinny_MH05_REQ_HATTEX'. You need this file for the retextures to work properly! I've done it this way to save you texture space.

I couldn't find a default for tmbodypoloshirtoverhang that was exactly what I wanted, so I threw together one of my own! It ended up being a bit more of an in-depth job than I planned, but I'm really happy with how it came out ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

swatch and DLs under the cut~

I really liked @loosiap's default with edited Kalynn jeans, but I didn't want only striped shirts and I prefer a simple texture DR over a mesh replacement 9 times out of 10. Coincidentally, this being a texture DR means it's compatible with Loosia's V1 default!

You can grab a repo'd AM conversion of this outfit from Sapphira86 on MTS, though it's pinned to Uni. It'll pick up on these textures if you get the default :)

The polo texture is mostly similar to maxis, but with a bit of extra fabric texture. The jeans are taken exactly from Loosia's default, but a few of them are recoloured to match the maxis polos in the same colour scheme as the original outfits. The shoes I'm really happy with, they're a blend of trainers from a different BG outfit with the sandals from the original outfit. I think they came out a lot better than I was expecting (this mesh has a decent shoe shape, imo). They're in colours to match the polos.

I've also made custom versions for anyone who doesn't want to replace the maxis textures ^^

I suppose you could count this as an appendix to my 3t2 collection, or a bonus. I was looking at the top hat and suddenly this old piece of CC by Reiseru popped into my head. So I made a recolour somewhat loosely inspired by Ruki of the GazettE's Cockroach Outfit, with the colour scheme meant to match the red recolour of the TS2 Store vampire Bartholemew outfit (shown here is Skell's repo addon for AM). The alpha for the hair is chopped, so I made a matching chopped alpha for long straight. Handy for Vkei and gothic sims!

A couple of cool male hairs! Just as a heads-up, these have some transparency issues (particularly gnarly on Miyavi). I edited the logo on the chimney hat to be in simlish ^^

I've struggled to find things on the database on occasion because of this, aha, glad to know it wasn't just me

Dear users of the sims2defaults database, your input is needed.

As you've probably noticed, the way that clothing is categorized in the database doesn't quite correspond to the Maxis categorization. For example, afbodydressabovekneehooded appears in the athletic section while Maxis set it as everyday, or afbodydresslilblack appears in the formal section only while Maxis set it as everyday & formal. There are also outfits in the outerwear category that didn't come from the Seasons pack and therefore could not be categorized as outerwear by Maxis.

These discrepancies appear to be because the person who set the database categories over a decade ago had Phaenoh's clothing migration mod installed (or some other set of recategorizers).

Note that if this change were to happen, it would not affect the "work outfits", "misc outfits" and "NPC outfits" sections, which would stay as they are.

....Crumplebottom jeans, hit with the purse...

Another outfit from me that's inspired by some street snaps from my ever-growing and unwieldy Pinterest board, aha. It's always recommending things to me these days. I'd consider this a continuation of my FRUiTS snap series as it's one I've always intended to continue and expand on ^^

These are a recolour of the BG fur coat dress mesh cobbled together of @goatskickin's Lady Tigers edit of some AAS textures, the K&B camisole, the original BG textures + one with the jean skirt from BG. Keiko is inspired by this snap, and Plaza is inspired by this one, though the jumpers certainly make these look more cosy. Banira is more just taking cues from the game textures themselves.

Categorized as casual and outerwear, for YF/AF, no mesh needed, fully compressorized with a PSD in the zip. You can have them standalone or with the bump map repo'd to BG, for which my texture default below is required for them to display as intended in-game.

for the afbodyfurcoatshortdressshoes texture default, you can choose your favourite recolour, because I made one for each, aha

These replace the texture and bump map, but not the mesh. They also override the property set, though, adding the outfit to outerwear.

The curious thing is that pink flashing is only in the reflection. This may reveal details of how reflections work in the game.

Ko-fi plug

This year I had my PIP cut off thanks to the most recent round of cuts. I do my best to earn a living, but due to my disabilities (which are easier to cope with than they used to be, but still disabling) and health conditions, that's not always been easy. I've found the loss of PIP harder than I expected, though I'm not too keen to go into details, the bottom line is that a lot of everyday things have stopped being affordable, especially at the beginning of each month.

I won't starve, or be homeless, I am very lucky. When I'm able to get work done I'll be fine, between running the business and sewing contracts I'll have spending money eventually. I can't save or do all the things I used to do last year, but I'll be okay, and I can always sell my wardrobe and equipment if things get really tough.

If you enjoy my CC though, I'd really appreciate a little tip on my Ko-fi, as I put a lot of the hours I find myself struggling to do anything else into making CC. It's completely optional, and you won't get anything in return other than gratitude, as I won't paywall anything, but each tip really helps at this time!

Alternatively, you could buy something from my shop if it takes your fancy, aha. I have a lot of print-on-demand things with my artwork on and lace tights that appeal to wider audiences in stock atm, but I'll be restocking socks soon, too.
