Any Decent Custom Hair?

It makes my life much simpler, and I get townies/downtownies/children spawning with these hairs. The downside to that is occasionally I get a nanny spawned with what I consider "young adult" hair. :P
Hmm. I was always kind of confused about this. CC hair that shows up in the genetics bin gets recognized as genetic hair color? So w/ NL, if I had a sim who was turned on by blondes, and I had a CC hair in the blond bin, then that sim would be attracted to the person wearing that particular CC hair?
A huge problem I have w/ the CC hairs at the moment is that I pretty much have to make all my male sims attracted to CC hair, and since everyone pretty much uses CC hair, my sims are attracted to practically every single sim out there. If this would fix the problem, I'd be very pleased.

That's one of my pet peeves, too. Same for my female sims. Almost everybody has "custom hair" and "fitness" as a turn-on, and "stink" as a turn-off. I've been meaning to categorize my hair because of this, and I am at this moment having datgen run through my downloads folder.

Yes that's correct. Any hair that shows up in the color bins CC or no will count as a turn on for that color.
IMO, it's the responsibility of the creators to make their hairs work correctly with the genetics. I know Maxis didn't give us the tools to do that, but they didn't give us to the tools to make new meshes either and people have found work arounds for that.

My new hairs from WDS and Pronup sims are in the correct colors. I was soooo excited to be able to set a specific hair color in Turn on/off's.

Another bonus of having hair categorized in the right bins is that townies and NPCs might get it. I download a lot of wild-looking hair, and it always amuses me to see it show up on some totally inappropriate NPC. I once had a cop show up who had hair a mile long and looking like it could put someone's eye out.
I categorize ALL hair in Datgen. If it's blond, black, brown, or red, it goes in the right bins. Even if it has streaks of purple in it. As long as I can tell what color it's supposed to be, it goes in the right bins.
