💿The Afterglow Hair System Starter Hair Dump💿

This has been brewing up since July but I'm very happy to say I'm finally done with this! The Afterglow Hair System is basically Sunshine and Zeb blended 50/50 because I wanted something softer than sunshine that still has depth. The natural colours are Poppet V2 Black, Skittles Hair System Brown, Io honey, a ginger I made and Pooklet Mail Bomb; The unnatural colours are Pooklet TNT, FurbyQ Afterglow, a green I made, Wyxii Mint, Pooklet Shock Wave, Poppet Lavender, Skittles Hair System Wild Berry and Pooklet Powder Cake; Swatches, more info and download under the cut!

4t2 Conversion Dump

Just some stuff that I converted for my own use... One of them has a few caveats but most are pretty standard.

Simpliacity Diara: CU-EU, 7k poly, animated, uses original textures and comes in Afterglow naturals and 2 unnaturals (blue and purple). Download SFS

Gramsims Jessie: TF-EF, 34k poly (sorry it had holes when I went lower), a bit blocky due to the bone assignment process, slightly off center because Milkshape expects a symmetrical mesh, animated, comes in Afterglow naturals and 2 pink unnaturals. Download SFS

S-Club Yolanda: PF-EF, 14k poly, animated, comes in Afterglow naturals and 5 unnaturals (red, green, blue, purple, white) Download SFS

Heze 64: PU-EU, 9k poly, comes in Afterglow naturals and 8 unnaturals. Download SFS

  • all ages
  • F
  • 8K poly
  • 16 naturals in four families + 15 unnaturals
  • Families are merged together
  • Shown in Molotov
  • Edited version by trapping

These are the colours I will be using moving forward. Unnaturals are subject to change but I like them as it is. If you just want original Afterglow colours, use the third family.

SFS really doesn't like 9 MB files at 11 AM on a Sunday morning so that will be uploaded later today. Nevermind, God truly blessed my upload lmao

Magical Girl Sandbox Zoisite Moon in Afterglow + Maxis Match

I vaguely remember Magical Girl Sandbox having a male version of their Sailor Moon hair and when I checked, they did, but it was only teen and up and only in two colors. So I linked it to the child and toddler versions of their female Sailor Moon hair and retextured it in two hair systems: Afterglow and Magical Girl Sandbox's Maxis Match system.

PM-EM, mesh included, the Afterglow one comes in Time Bomb as well. Download Simblr.CC

This blog is currently run by @spell-bloom, but I have a job and other life stuff to deal with, so I might not see every afterglow hair post. If anyone wants to be a mod and co-run this blog to fill in the gaps and clean up some of the older posts, please dm my main blog. :]

SFS is is slow and wouldn't let me download, so you're forced to use the superior file hoster, mediafire. And a little bonus sim download below the cut :]

Hezeh 58 for Ladies

An update of my Hezeh 58 conversion to be unisex! This was requested by an anon and was fairly easy to do.

I updated the original mesh/zip to include both (because why not) but SFS wasn't letting me upload it (or, well, anything) so I made a simblr.cc account and posted it there. Same stats apply as the original, both V1/V2 etc... the only difference is I didn't do the unnaturals for the ladies.

Katsu's alternative Afterglow Palette

as I mentioned in my last post, I made a lil alternative hair colour palette. Before I got into Afterglow, I really wanted to try out @0201-sims VK actions, as I love the idea of a visual kei inspired hair colour pallete. But I got into afterglow, so forgot about it for a while! Then when I was ill and making a bunch of sims and downloading a bunch of CC recently, I thought that I wished I had a secondary family of naturals to chose from, as when I was using Pooklet's colours I used 2, one being what my DRs were in, and the other being just another option. So I tried out the VK actions, but wasn't 100% happy with how some of them looked on Afterglow textures. Afterglow has a subtle, silky shine (which is what converted me, aha) that can easily become flat looking with certain colour actions applied- so I trialed some other colours I like and this is what I came up with!

Alternative Palette V2

Just a slight edit to this palette that has an edited version of Cassis Aliene; after using the alt palette for quite a few hairs I found that Aliene was a little too blue to read as black for me, when I'd initally tested the palette I wasn't finding that so I'm wondering if it's mainly a property of the afterglow textures themselves that alters the appearance of the colours; Afterglow volatile is a bit of a softer, less yellow colour than Pooklet volatile for example. I did a quick edit to Aliene to desaturate it without losing the blue tone that makes it look dyed, which brings it closer to Cassis' preview of the VK palette but on Afterglow textures. The picture shows it in comparison to the Poppet v2 black that comes with the original Afterglow naturals. Otherwise, there's no other changes!

Alternative Palette V3

I've been experimenting with switching my bright pink action from Pooklet pentolite to Kinu's Freyja action from their Kurayami set. It's closer to red but has the advantage of preserving detail a bit better and has less glare over afterglow textures under bodyshop XB lighting. No edits to the naturals, just a simple swap for the unnaturals I've been regualrly using ^^

Just a few more accessory hairpieces to round out this lot! Rose's 104 and 107 bangs and 097 braids, all YAU-EU. They come in the Afterglow naturals family, my alternative family and 9 unnaturals. Accessories can't be binned unfortunatley, but eders only get grey naturals, and unnaturals are for all ages.

I tried some different fun colours with more plastic-like textures for the beads on the braids, I thought it could be a really fun look!

More accessory buns! I grouped these together because seeing them in unnaturals made me think they'd look really fun for sci-fi looks and aliens with their funky shapes! (˶◣ _ ◢˶ )っ──⋆ ✴︎˚。☆⋆

I hope I'm more or less right about the creator name Huaqi; I only saw it written in Chinese characters and I don't speak any Chinese aha.

Girl wig is AU-EU, luxuriant butterfly, small butterflies, and small dumpling are CU-EU. They come in the Afterglow naturals family, my alternative family and 9 unnaturals. Accessories can't be binned unfortunatley, but eders only get grey naturals, and unnaturals are for all ages.
