🎁 [BG+26PACKS] Wearables™ Wigs - Any Color, Any Style, Any Time! 🐲 (66) Fem-Frame + (2) Unisex
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL (26) PACKS, OR ARE ABLE TO DELETE THE WIGS FOR THE PACKS YOU DON'T HAVE!
There are two lists you need to look at below; one is the list of which packs are required for this to work, and the other contains the names of all of my old Wearables™ Hair that need to be deleted.
I don't intend to wig every hairstyle from every pack, but you're welcome to Request A Wig™ for any hairstyle - and yes, I can wig custom content hairstyles.
My CASMenu Override and my Wearables™ CASMenu makes landfall SOON™. Until then, you can find these in the Hats category. I use a pretty high custom DisplayIndex that should keep my stuff grouped together neatly at the very end of the list.
No custom thumbnails because that would screw with PERFECTION™.

⋆⋅ DELETE THESE OLD "WIGS" IF YOU HAVE THEM:
On the surface, these new Wearables™ function the same way, but they have new filenames and unique Item IDs. Meaning they won't "replace" the old Wearables™ in your Mods folder or in your outfits - I apologize for the latter, but it was simpler to build these new ones from scratch.

⋆⋅ NOW WITH COLOR FLAGS/TAGS:
Hairstyles have a robust set of TWENTY-FOUR (24) color flags/tags, one for each swatch. Everything else gets ELEVEN (11) to choose from. How disappointing.
To tag my wigs as properly as possible, I took some "creative liberty" and used the internet.
Neutral Black = Black
Black
Dark Brown = Brown
Warm Brown = Brown
Brown
Light Brown = Brown
Red
Auburn = Brown, Orange, Red
Orange
Neutral Blonde = Brown, White, Yellow
Light Blonde = Brown, White, Yellow
Blonde = Brown, White, Yellow
Dirty Blonde = Brown, White, Yellow
Platinum = Grey, White
White
White Blonde = Brown, White, Yellow
Gray
Purple Pastel = Pink, Purple
Hot Pink = Pink
Dark Blue = Blue
Turquoise = Blue, Green
Green
Brown Salt And Pepper = Brown, Gray
Black Salt And Pepper = Black, Grey
⋆⋅ ABOUT THOSE HAIR FLAGS/TAGS:
They're an easy thing to remove if an issue arises in the future. Easier to remove that to add back if I remove them now, then find a use for them later.
⋆⋅ WHAT THE FRICK IS "PERFECTION @ 10 KB":
It's a mathematical term, a quantity represented by an arrow, with both direction and magnitude. Vector! That's me, 'cause I'm committing crimes with both direction and magnitude. Oh, yeah!
"Perfection @ 10 KB" refers to the file size. Each Wearables™ Wig is on average 10 KB.
It's resource referencing. All wigs are dependent on their corresponding packs (there's only so much <SQUAWK> I'm willing to promote), which means I can reference all resources including the mesh, even though mesh editing is required to successfully mold Hair into Wigs.
I did not read a "wig" tutorial to do this, but I eventually came across one. It confirmed I was on the right (traditional) path in the early stages - when I was still mesh editing in Blender.
I don't do any of this for my Wearables™ Wigs, but I love highlighting other creators, so here's 🎀 leeleesims1's wig tutorial - https://../post/166048069909/how-to-make-wigs-for-your-sims
⋆⋅ HAIRSTYLES 101: WHAT IS AN "UPDO"?
The things I learn for modding...
An updo is a hairstyle where the hair is pulled up off the shoulders and neck into a specific style and held in place with clips, barrettes or other hair accessories.
[...] There’s an infinite variation of potential updo styles, but several of them have emerged as near classics. One of these is the ponytail, where hair is simply pulled back or where the ponytail becomes the base for other updo forms.
[...] Other ponytail-based styles, especially for very long hair include a variety of buns that can be worn high on the head, mid head, or low at the neck. Instead of a ponytail, some buns incorporate elaborate braiding that can take hours to achieve. Simpler updos like the half updo might take only minutes. Pulling front hairs back in a braid, ponytail or small bun while still leaving much of the hair flowing long is sometimes called a half-do.
So, ponytails are an updo, and we have half-dos in-game, but since we have no Half-Do flag/tag, those can either remain under Long, Medium, or Short or get shoehorned in with Updo.
As for pigtails, it took some searching, but I found these two articles which mention fancy pigtails and regular pigtails:
None of this really matters for the wigs because you can't filter for their hair flags/tags, and I should probably remove them to avoid shenanigans.
⋆⋅ LOSE YOURSELF! NO, NOT FOR PITY'S SAKE. BE YOURSELF! YOU'VE GOT TO WANT TO SUCCEED!
A colleague and friend of mine passed away in 2023. It was a !@#$ time on two fronts - his passing and the shutting down of the business space we shared.
He was an old school music deejay and mixer. His family took all of his belongings, of course, but in the months leading up to his passing, I was backing up and recategorizing some of his music and mixes, and I still have a handful of his creations. He was a very talented deejay and the idea of his legacy - for lack of a better word - languishing in a box somewhere irritates me.
In his collection of 12-inch extended remixes, there's a remix of this song that I cannot seem to find anywhere else.
