Download: Night Elf Hair Dump + Fixed Brows

If you make Night Elf Sims, you want this post!
The left swatch is for males, the right is for females. Sorry Night Elf Death Knights, I keep forgetting to make your gray. >.< Also, I don't use all the colors in each post - usually either Detonator or Afterburner is left out, depending on how bright the colors seemed. If you passionately want the hair in a color that I skipped, please leave a comment.

All these color actions are by Pooklet except for Undine, which is by AlfredAskew. Most of the textures are by Nouk or Pooklet and were put there by Hat, but I'll tell you for each hair where it came from.

Also, I didn't do the side by side comparisons for every single color like I did last time. Hopefully just seeing the hairs in their Sims 2 glory is good enough!

My custom neighborhood!

OK, so, I've slowed down in conversions and I've been posting up random stuff, because I've been hard at work on my own custom neighborhood. I am finally at a place where I can play and show it off! All the townies are custom-created and represent a spread of all the races represented in Warcraft. Here's some of them in the wild:

A human and a gnome:


A gnome talking to a night elf and blood elf (picture was meant to emphasize the gnome's height):


A troll:


A night elf:


And an orc:


Right now, the main neighborhood lacks tauren, undead, worgen, goblins, and pandaren. Three will get their own vacation neighborhood (goblins - Twiikii, pandaren - Takemizu, worgen - Three Lakes). I'm still working on skins for the tauren and I just haven't gotten around to undead yet. ;)

I'm in the process of moving all my previously-created Sims over to the new neighborhood. Stay tuned!

Download: 2 Night Elf Male Hairs, Eyebrows, Beards

A few more hairs, this time for your Night Elf dudes, and eyebrows for ALL!

Long (male)

This is mio0331's Sephiroth mesh from MTS. This isn't an EXACT match since the hair in front doesn't go down far enough, but I chose it because it's got the same peak in front the male hair has:
Unfortunately, the elder hair is totally borked and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so there is no gray for this set. >.< Toddler-Adult should work just fine though. It looks a little piecey in the lighter colors since the mapping's weird and so are the normals, but hopefully it's not enough to keep you from using it.


Long Braided Tail (male)

I can't find the page with the original mesh, but this is Rose's Kangxi Emperor hair. Hat originally retextured this, but I pulled the hair forward to cover the whole head. That also makes the wacky scalp mapping look a lot less wacky. Teen-Elder; child and toddler have heads full of fuzz. Mesh is included.

Here's the gray and the turnaround:

I left the little hanging doodad at the end of the tail but it should be pretty easy to alpha out if you hate it.

These fellows are also modeling the matching beards (basegame originally retextured by Hat) and matching eyebrows (originally by TrappingIt).

Here are some more Blizzard-match hairs for your Night Elves! This time it's the braided tails, one of the original hairstyles in the game and the one that Corrienda wore forever.
This is the basegame Maxis braids, but expanded to include all ages by Melodie9. Mesh is included.Originally retextured by Hat; if you have her "Secret Garden" file installed you can nuke my Time Bomb since they'll be the same thing.

Download: Night Elf Female Hair - Tomboy

So, I waded into the wonderful world of COLOR ACTIONS, because I wanted to see if I could make good matches for Blizzard's styles colors so people who wanted to create their characters in the Sims could do so more easily. This is my first Night Elf batch and I think it turned out pretty well! This is Tomboy, one of the styles available from the barbershop but not the character creation screen.
