Body Hair: Luumia Edition
A downloadable mod
Current Mod Version: 1.0.1
Release Date: August 10, 2022
Last Update: September, 22, 2022
This mod replaces EA's body hair textures with Luumia's textures. I have no intention of stealing Luumia's work here, but the game's textures are sooo ugly.
Note on the Last Update
There are now two variants of the mods (from mod version 1.0.1):
- Also Women Version: Women can only get light body hair for legs or for arms. The back and chest remain without hair. Medium and heavy hair for legs and arms is also turned off.
- Men Only Version: Women remain completely without body hair!
In addition, I have now removed the hairless ("bald") chest hair replacement. In the earlier version of the mod, the pubic hair was included for this chest hair version. Now it's all naked. Some users have complained that children have pubic hair because of my mod. Hopefully this will solve the problem. Please let me know if the issue has been resolved.
Important Statements
- Yes, I took foreign textures and adjusted and modified them. Luumia explicitly allows its textures to be used as a base (with attribution). What I do. If you don't like it, don't use the mod.
- I didn't convert all of Luumia's textures, just the minimum number needed to replace the original textures. This mod is a replacement mod, I do not intend to use all of Luumia's available body hair textures! So please don't complain why I took so few textures and not all. EA offers very few options: three arm hair levels (light, medium, heavy), three leg hair levels, three back hair levels, and six combinations of chest and stomach hair. This is too little. So of course I could not implement all national or genetic diversity. For example, I only used straight hair, but no curly hair. Mixing different types (curly and straight) looks bad. Then the Sims automatically generated by the game will be even uglier than they are. If you don't like it, don't use the mod.
- I didn't use all 24 EA colors and just took the textures that Luumia already had. Who needs green body hair? So I made my choices e.g. green haired sims have blonde body hair etc. If you don't like it don't use the mod.
- I didn't do the last third layer of back hair because there aren't any good separate textures for it. And I'm not that good with graphics programs to crop it really nicely. So the final third layer of hair is the same as the second. If you don't like it, you know...
Copyright
The original rights belong to the author. I just freely combined and adjusted some of Luumia's textures without recoloring them. I hope that at some point Luumia converts all of its wonderful textures so that they now work correctly in the new gameplay. So far I think my solution is acceptable.

Will the option to shave legs or arms for women also appear with this mod, but after a longer time?
Not now, because the game intends to have the same growth rate for everyone. Whether it could be separated for men and women, I can’t say right now. I need to examine the implementation more closely. However, that’s not on my list of priorities at the moment. I’ll make a note of the wish, but I can’t say when I’ll look at it yet. I think that could be possible. I will investigate this from the second half of August.
That would be great, so Im waiting on this, thanks for the answer :)
