Any Decent Custom Hair?

I've seen meshes literally taken exactly as they are in many cases from other sites and simply convertered. Even if a mesh is altered considerably, it's common courtesy to at least mention the original creator. If someone took a mesh someone else made in the Sims 2 community and altered it considerably they'd have a fit! How many times how you seen 'Do not clone, recolor, alter, upload to the Exchange...bla bla bla' notices when you've downloaded something? Because I see it all the time. Also, a lot of those original meshes have user agreements that explicity state they are not to be modified and redistributed.
With all due respect Bagelnuts, I think that's a pretty crappy attitude. It seems to be 'As long as the person is in the Sims 2 community, they must be credited, otherwise it doesn't matter' and I just don't agree with that. If we as a community and if the creators in the community want respect then we must respect ALL creators and their content no matter what the source. Otherwise we are all hyppocrites.
after a stroll through my files I discovered only one mesh that didnt have proper credits to the creator .Ironically the creator was Maxis that the person who recolored it didnt credit, all my other downloads have a creator and the recolorer credited.I ditched the mesh that didnt have creator on it. the mesh in question was the hair that is default for maxis on toddlers . the new item added to it was a hair bow.I do undeerstand what your saying though and yes I have seen those user agreements constantly and they actually com in the form of a pop up on Pronup Sims

Jumping back to the catagorizing hairs to go into the right color bins; shouldn't you (theoretically) be able to make a sim, age back to toddler and get the same hairstyle through to elder? I tried this with b52b9d28-7b62-4f41-bd88-fb382721db82 as family and with
00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 as hairtone, and get different style with different ages. Two of them are the same style (not the one I picked), but the rest aren't. How badly have I screwed this up?

I think, when someone makes something, allows everyone to share it, and the only thing they ask is credit where credit is due, then anyone who consistently fails to do so should be ostracized, and no one should download their stuff! But then, I also feel strongly about people who steal from Pay Sites and offer stolen creations on their site - it's a creator's choice whether they give things away or want to make some money from their work, it's not up to anyone else to say they are right or wrong.

I agree with you Zephyr. Itry not to download an Item that is stolen if I can avoid it and I know for a fact its stolen . and I never ever upload CC to the exchange because half the time I cant remember at that exact moment who made the item, and many creators specifically state dont upload this to the exchange or anywhere else with out their express permission to do so also most meshes dont transfer when you upload an item so the consequence in a sim may well be a bald head or a maxis replacement.unfortunately the only thing that seems to upload tp the exchabge with ease is the "unwanted" hacks

That's the way I do it because that's the way I was shown how. I think someone earlier in the thread said that each hair has to have a unique family number to maintain the same style through the age groups. I'm not about to mess with it now, especially since my hairs have all been done already with the same family number. It doesn't really bother me as much as having 237162398302372 pages of custom hair to scroll through. ;)
