Finally, I also released a recolor/retexture of Hysterical Paroxysm's "Gaius Hair" (edited by Navetsea), requested by [livejournal.com profile] hjsnapepm. You can find them at Garden of Shadows:

Thank you, thank you! I've decided to go all (or at least close to all) Maxis-match with my hair and you've covered TONS of my favorites, saving me most of the trouble of trying to do this stuff myself. (Except for the part where Neena's red is staggeringly bright for my taste, but I not only know how to fix that, I know how to fix it with SimPE and Photoshop so I can avoid having to use Body Shop and then re-family the hair.)

I've been having some issues with the reds recently.

For some reason, the colors show up much brighter in Bodyshop... and then blindingly bright in the game! I like bright hair, but that's ridiculous :).

I had to re-do the red for the very last hair twice for this reason. I wish Bodyshop lighting was more accurate, because this is annoying!

Oh, how do you fix the hairs without Bodyshop? Do you export, edit and then re-import the textures with SimPe? I've thought about trying that to fix some hairs, but I didn't think that actually worked :).

That's exactly it -- extract to PNG with SimPE, edit, and then Build DXT to put the edited textures back in. It is very useful, I have downloaded a huge pile of Maxis-match retextures from Piggi's, and I didn't like either of her two blond shades (and neither matched Maxis, unlike her other colors), but she puts her grey recolor in one of them, so I was motivated to find a solution that used her original file. ;) (The two disliked textures turned out to easily combine to make one I liked!)

Bodyshop lights.

If you want it, there's a bodyshop light mod that makes it brighter.

There's three files, each have a different level of brightness. I personally use the xxb.
