Body Hair Replacement: Luumia Edition

File Type Package

Version v. 1.0.1

Last Update Sep 25, 2023

What does this mod do?

This mod replaces the low-detail default body hair textures from EA with high-quality versions by Luumia. The textures were modified to work as a direct override in accordance with the original Terms of Service.

Slot Limitations

This is a Replacement Mod, which means it is strictly limited to the slots EA provided in the base game. It is not a standalone CC pack.

Arms, Legs, and Back: 3 growth stages each.
Chest and Stomach: 6 fixed combinations. Only the necessary textures were used to fill these specific slots. There are no plans to add more. If these technical limits or the selection of textures don’t suit your taste, don’t use the mod.

Consistency

To keep randomly generated Townies from looking broken or inconsistent, specific choices were made:

Straight Hair Only: Mixing curly and straight textures through the game’s randomizer looks bad on NPCs. To maintain a clean look, only straight textures are used.
Back Hair: Since there are no separate high-quality textures for a third layer, the second and third stages share the same texture for a cleaner result.
Colors: Logical mapping is used for the 24 EA colors. Sims with unnatural hair (green, blue, etc.) get blonde body hair to keep things looking realistic.

Mod Variants

There are two versions available. Please install only one!

Men Only: Body hair for males only. Females stay hairless.
Also Women: Adds light hair for female arms and legs. Heavy growth and chest/back hair remain disabled for women.

Compatibility

This mod replaces internal game resources and will conflict with any other mod that overwrites EA body hair textures, such as:

No Female Body Hair by YourFalseHope.
Disable all body hairs for female sims by Zordard.

Override Mod

This mod overrides core game resources instead of adding new ones.

High conflict risk: Any other mod that overrides the same resources will conflict with this mod.
One-override rule: If two mods modify the same resource, usually only one can be used safely.
Patch sensitive: Override mods are more likely to break after game updates.

Recommendation: test this mod alone after patches and clear localthumbcache.package.
