So, while I never thought I'd do so for anyone's meshes but my own, I went ahead and handpainted some new textures for tammeke's mesh which I'm really quite pleased with!
These are recolours, not a new mesh - you will need to go and download tammeke's mesh too, for these to work in your game!
The colours I have made...
Binned:
- Black
- Dark Brown
- Light Brown
- Medium Brown
- Red
- Blonde
- Platinum Blonde
Unbinned (shows up under custom):
- Grey
- White
- Platinum blonde with pink tips (my personal favourite)
These all work for young adults, adults, and elders, using the same textures/colours for all... No grey elders (if you want grey elders, use the grey or white recolours!) here, as my sims like hair dye. The non-matchy younger ages have been removed, so you won't get any useless hairs spamming up your younger ages.
Many thanks to tammeke for her lovely mesh, and for being so nice about fixing up the errors to make it truly adorable.
