Btw, Peggy fixed it herself some weeks after is was released first (it was in her announcements and even made it to the frontpage of her site), but aparently nobody bothered to upload the fixed mesh here.
As far as I know,
we did.
Thanks, Ash. It was me who didn't bother to look
I just thought that the broken mesh must be available somewhere still if Paperbeth still had it and claimed it wasn't fixed yet. I thought she must have re-downloaded it recently to make that statement...
Thanks for the info. I didn't know the mesh was old. I'll try the fixed one. Without the gap, I think it's one of the few of Peggy's that I like.
I hope evryone understands that I used your recolor to make a point about the mesh. I really like your recolors, and was not ripping on them at all.
I just wondered why you still had the broken mesh if you already had my recolors.
A lot of Rose's free hairs are that flat on top, I just checked because I thought I've seen a female version of it, but there isn't one. Instead there are a lot of shorter hairs for females that are looking similarly square.
I agree. Why is it so hard to find any male hair that looks even close to any real hairstyles that men actually wear? The only ones I have found are Nouk's and maybe 2 or 3 others at MTS2. Everywhere else I look, I find nothing but outrageously feminine, anime style hair for men. *gag*
Side note: is it just me, or do Rose's blonde hair colors look green and/or brassy. Not natural blondes at all. Does she even know what real blonde hair looks like? Some of the brown shades look really green also. Piss yellow does not equal blonde.
edited to add: I think Peggy suffers from the same type of colorblindness.
I think I found a reason why the haircolors at the Peggyzone are not consistent.
Recently I wondered why the hair with the huge braid on top of the head and the huge ribbon was so off-colored. One look at the filenames showed me a reason.
The way the files are named changed when Peggysims2 was made into the Peggyzone. Since then they (the packages, not the stupid numbering system at the site) are following a scheme which is the same every time.

You can see that labeling is similar each time. Fh and Mh are the gender the hair is made for, the numbers are the date this hair was released. Now it's getting interesting:
The next part of the labeling tells us who the creator of the meshfile is! "J" stands for Juice, Pegy is Pegy. The number behind the letter tells us the number of the mesh by this one creator. This means that this mesh is Juice's 107th, Pegy has made 69 meshes until January this year.
The other ones are by different creators! I don't know who they are, if and where they released their other hairmeshes if they made some before. I just know that they are rather new to the Peggyzone and sometimes even release only one mesh there. (Note: The "P"-person is someone different to Pegy. Bus as s/he is rather new older hairs by Pegy are labeled with "P" as well, only recently she labeled the hairs with her full name).
This should be enough of an explanation why the quality of mesh, texture and colors differes that much. Luckily hairfiles are recolorable...
