Messy Side Knot Default Replacement *Version 2*
I've always hated that ugly Maxis side pony tail. It looks like someone gave scissors and a hair tie to a toddler and let it give them a makeover. So when I found this adorable hairstyle, I decided to give defaulting a try. And I really like the results.
I've tested it in my game and I've found no problems yet. But please remember this is my first attempt so I'm not guaranteeing it works perfectly. Use at your own risk. Anyway, I hope you like this too.
~Mesh by Butterflysims included.
~Availabe for young adult, adult, and elder.
~Not compressed, I don't know how to do that
~Poly count is 13,148. It's a little high you might not want to have 90+ of these running around on one lot.
And of course remember that you can only have one default for this hair in your game at a time. If you have two, that's bad. Hopefully you'll pick mine.
I have noticed that this replacement isn't entirely perfect. The thumbnails do not work for some ages, sometimes is even listed as a custom hair. I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if I want to take this download down until I can figure it out or just leave it and try to update a better version. If any of you know what I did wrong, please tell me!
Update - 3/18/15
Hey, look at that. I fixed it 2 months later. I hope so anyway. Now the correct thumbnail should show for young adults.
Additional Credits:
-Selenaq13, for doing all of the work. I just took her retexture and defaulted it
-Remi, for making the pretty Maxis-match textures.
-SimPE
-Marja / le-plat-du-jour.livejournal.com for making the hair replacement tutorial
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.
