TS2 Hair Conversions: *UPDATED* Jeanette and Uni male ponytail
Ambular:
8/29/09: Updated with separate male and female Jeanette versions! Less clippage, better hairline, more shininess! Delete and re-download if the spirit moves you!
Since all anyone else seems interested in converting from TS2 is fancy custom content hairstyles, I was forced to figure out how to do it myself in order to retrieve a couple of very simple Maxis meshes that I like and have sorely missed.
Please bear in mind these are the first such conversions I have done, and that these are extremely low-poly meshes and therefore are not going to look quite as nice in-game as some other styles will. My attempts at color-enabling the roots, tips, etc. met with mixed success. Anyone with more hair-making talent who would like to take a stab at either of these is very welcome to do so.
The 'Jeanette' bonus style, enabled for males and females, Teen through Elder:

Oddly enough, despite being designed originally for female Sims, this one turned out looking better on the guys in spite of all my efforts to make it look equally nice on the ladies. It's animated, though there's an unfortunate amount of clipping in back when the Sim moves around a lot that I was not able to prevent. This bugged me so much I finally went back and split the mesh into two packages, one for men and one for women. The male version will overwrite the old one for any male Sims it was used on, but not the female one, which is now an entirely separate hairstyle. The female hairline has been fixed (see picture) and now has a proper female thumbnail image in CAS, and clippage has been somewhat reduced for both versions. Redownloading is not necessary but is recommended.
Also please note that one of my testers reported unexplained crashing when moving in male Sims with this hair; her game was not patched and she was not using AwesomeMod, which may have affected her results (my own game and another tester's did not have this issue) so please test it in your own game before you put it on any important Sims. New info: Apparently the crashing was an unrelated neighborhood issue, so the hair should be okay for general use, barring any other bug reports.
And, the male ponytail from University, male only, Teen through Elder:

No known issues with this one. It also has some clippage in the back, but it's not too noticeable in most circumstances. The hair tie is not recolorable and will appear pretty much black regardless of hair color.
Hope you all enjoy them. Please report any problems you encounter. Permission is hereby granted to direct-link to the files and images for convenience, but please give credit and include a link to this thread.

Ambular, you are my hero for today! The Jeanette style was my absolute favorite long-ish style for guys ever! ;D I currently have a Sim who needs that hair almost more than life itself. lol
CheritaChen:
Thanks for sharing your efforts. They both look good enough to be worth a try in my game, even if you consider them less than perfect. Meanwhile, though, I must ask: what male skintone is that? The forearm is positively gorgeous in detail, and while I can't see much of the chest, it obviously has some hair as well. Please tell!
