one day Natasha is going to rebel against the number of hairs i force her in for testing and i still haven't re-replaced my default skin lmao

anyway part two of not-quite-clayified hairs

my current hyperfixation with the sims is a magical not-quite-knockoff of a universe it's bad fortune to talk about and idk if it'll be easier to make happen in ts2 or ts4 so we're testing in both games right now

also i'm genuinely falling in love with the vibes of these. the stronger alpha plays so much more nicely in both games and i still get my shiny hairs without committing to full io textures

Oh Look Nykteia Made Another Texture Again...

i'm either in my semi-annual "remind myself why we don't play TS4 phase" or consider this the other side of the coin to my previous experiments with the Shining Nikki texture idk

anyway, i've wanted a midground between "clayified" (ew) and super strandy alpha hairs for a while that aren't going for TS4 maxis match because i will never be a maxis match player no matter the game but like play nice with each other?

so this is simandy's clay texture + io + lilith blended together after re-alpha-ing the hairs by frankensteining the alpha from the shining nikki hairs and while getting all of the hairs on one texture is my dream... i like shiny. i'm a sucker for shiny hairs

and i'm very sleep deprived right now but, eh, i'm kind of happy with the results for the moment
