It's been a while, but not a completely insane work schedule, nor food poisoning, nor a hard disk crash, nor my ceiling caving in at work from a flood of melting snow could keep me away forever.

For the Natural Redhead Project: 11 recolors/retextures of XMSims' hair #52. There wasn't anything wrong with the original texture; I just wanted something a little silkier for my own game.
These are all color-binned, made with Legacy BodyShop, and grouped in the same family (which means the mesh doesn't "drop" when you switch from color to color).
Colors:
Reds: Dark Auburn (with brown eyebrows), Auburn, Titian and Ginger.
Blonds: Beach Blonde, Champagne Blonde and Platinum Blonde.
Browns: Chocolate Brown.
Blacks: Warm Black (a black with subtle brown highlights).
Custom: Olive Drab and Dark Orchid (both with brown eyebrows).
The red and blonde shades have white for the elder hair color. The brown and black hairs have grey for their elder hair color. The custom colors do not change for elders.
Terms of use for my textures/recolors: These files may only be redistributed via shared sims, so long as those sims are available in the free section of any site, and I am credited with a link back to my profile on this site. You may not charge money or a membership fee for my files: this includes "donation files" on an otherwise free site, and sites where my files would only periodically be free.
You may recolor these files and/or use the alpha so long as your derivative works are only posted on free sites as described in the previous paragraph. Additionally, these files are subject to XMSims' recolor policies.
group shot colors, l-r: dark auburn, chocolate brown, ginger, warm black, beach blonde, titian red, platinum blonde, and auburn.

Please note now the appearance of beach blonde changes from a tan-based blond in the cool light of the family portrait to a buttery color in the warm light of CAS.
Additional Credits:
Skintones in the screenshots are from Enayla, the eyes, glasses and freckle blushes are by myself, all other makeup and eyebrows are from RenSim and Bruno.
Clothes are by Maxis, Lliella, Helaene, corvidophile2, Heavensent6 and Living_Dead_Girl.

About Me
ToU: Please see individual posts for my creation policies. IN GENERAL, I have fairly liberal policies, but there are a few items that are subject to other creators' policies. Therefore, I don't have a blanket ToU.
Future expansion packs: due to the headaches I have experienced from SecurROM - including damage to my computer, a complete reinstall of my computer, and the need to buy a brand new antivirus program, and eventually the need to fully replace my computer due to unremovable rootkits that took advantage of the security loopholes caused by SecruROM - I will not purchase or install/reinstall any EA or Sony products. There are conditions that may cause me to change my mind, but I don't consider them likely. This means that if any of my CC is broken by an expansion or stuff pack, I won't know and I won't be able to work on fixing any potential problems. I grant anyone permission to patch my CC for compatibility with any Sims 2 expansion or stuff pack, as long as the patched items are 100% free.
Beyond that, I'm not interested in pirating securom-infested eps, and I would never help EA advertise malware-infested products by creating content for them, so please stop e-mailing me with 'helpful' information.
Which brings me to... Take the SecuROM-free pledge!
