Okay, after a lot of headaches I've finally got this hair mesh worked out. The grey color for the elder is only included in the black hair color, so you need to use that if you want this to work on elders at all. (The other colors are part of the same "family", so they share it automatically.) This hair combines the Nightlife vampire hair with the bangs from the page hair, which I have made extra long to suit my own preferences. If you want this hair without the bangs, VETTY has made that here:

You can shorten the fringe on this hair or modify it as you like, but my version of this hair won't look right if you remove it entirely as it isn't lined up as nicely at the forehead as VETTY's.
I'm pretty happy with the way this came out, especially with the animation. The recolors could be improved -- they're still very Maxis-like -- but I need a break from this project and thus I don't think I'll do that myself.
I spent many, many hours fruitlessly trying to figure out why my toddler hair developed holes when viewed at a distance. That is a common problem with meshes that have missing vertices, but this one is fine. Eventually, I tested every custom toddler mesh in my game and realized that every single one of them that is longer than a Maxis toddler hair mesh has the same flaw, something I had never noticed before. If all those well-respected hair meshers can put up with it, I can too. Just be aware of the issue:
Polygon Counts:
1162 triangles for the adult and teen meshes (each), 1192 for child, and 1064 for the toddler; all are combined into one 426 kb package file

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Policies:
SHARING: You may freely share my objects, hair, any and all textures, and all my recolors on any FREE site (including the Exchange) or through emails to your friends, just so long as you attribute them to me. (You do not have a free site if you offer ''donation items'' that are only available to those who pay you. If you sell ''donation items'' I don't want my things or recolors of my meshes on your site even if those items are free. You can use MTS2 instead. TSR is a paysite and I don't want my stuff there anymore either.)
REQUESTS: I don't do any requests. I only make stuff that I want in my own game. I don't modify my already existing textures and files for someone else, either; it's not that I'm unsympathetic, just that I'm lazy and don't want to spend the time. Sorry.
Sims 1 files: All of my Sims 1 stuff is free to share, just like my Sims 2 stuff. If you're interested in my old stuff, check out my journal (above) and find the entry on Sims 1 for the current links, or scroll to the bottom of the page and check out my signature. :)
