27 male EA hairs converted to children + 18 to toddlers

Children and toddlers need more hairs. Boys especially. There are a lot of cc hairs, but a lot of them are either too high in polycount to use on townies, or just look kind of out of place in the game. That's why I converted multiple EA hairs to children and toddlers.

This took way too long to finish, because I needed to reshape a lot of hairs I already converted, some multiple times, because children and especially toddlers have giant foreheads. Hairs that look good in Blender don't always look good in game. This game defies logic and caused me to reduce the amount of hairs I wanted to upload because of weird and nonsensical issues, which pissed me off so much that I didn't do anything for about a month. Taking screenshots and creating the preview images is an absolute drag, which I also kept delaying doing. But it's ready now.


The hairs should all be basegame compatible and the hairs with accessories are found in the hat hair section.

All of the hairs are under 6000 poly at lod 0 & 1 (all but two are under 5000 poly), under 2000 poly at lod 2 and under 1000 poly at lod 3.
Exact polycounts are listed in the spoiler below.




Most of the hairs have been retextured with EAxis textures. Control by Anubis, diffuse by... Pooklet? I'm still not sure.
All hairs have scalp textures. None of the hairs have custom thumbnails; the game will automatically generate thumbnails for them.

I accidentally made the root coloring blue and the tip coloring red instead of the other way around for one of the child models in the channels and textures previews. The ep11 wavy afro hair looks like a money tree in the channels and textures previews. 😄

Multiple hairs have small textures issues that I don't know the cause of and am not able to fix.
The child OS82 faux hawk widows peak and ep6 half pony male hairs have tip coloring where it isn't supposed to be for whatever reason. The child ep11 wave hair looked fine in Blender, looked fine in TSRW, looks fine in CAS, but has a dark spot in life mode for some bizarre reason. WHY. The child and toddler ep3 slicked back hairs have weird white lines in the channels and textures previews, but not in the regular previews. I don't know man. The child smokin slick hair has a weird part on the front where there is no root coloring. The child and toddler ep2 thin frizzy hairs have a horizontal line on the back, but that issue is also present on the adult versions. Probably some kind of problem with the mesh itself.
None of these issues will hinder gameplay, but they make the hairs perhaps less suitable for photoshoots.

Fixes and retextures are very welcome!
