So I've decided that maxis match and Simagrooped is more my style, and was wondering if anybody knew where I could Afro and dread hairs with those textures. I have a couple by Deedee?

Your best bet is All The Hairs: http://allthehairs.podserver.info/

It's a searchable database of hairs. One of the filters you can click is "Natural Black Hairstyles." Click that and the Maxis-match filter and you'll have lots of options.

Thank you, perhaps I'm missing something but I tried to download the ones by Poppet but they don't show up in bodyshop?

Are you certain that the mesh was included with what you downloaded? Usually it is with hairs, but sometimes not.

Is what you downloaded super-high-poly? For some people, their video cards won't display such meshes.

Are you certain you installed the hair properly? That the files are in the right place? That they're not still in some kind of archived format -- RAR, ZIP, whatever -- in your downloads? (Sometimes people upload archives-within-archives.)

Other than that...I don't know. It might be a problem with the download or Poppet may have made a mistake and packaged the wrong files. Might be helpful if you can give some links to what you specifically downloaded so others can try the download, too, see if it works for them.

Allthehairs is a great resource, but I have found several hairs that were never added to it. Simsample shared this link for Glorianasims4's hairs for Sims 2 in the Pictures forum the other day. The download links for the hairs are under "Show more".

Yes it as the mesh, I always check.

I don't know about high-poly or not? I don't know how to check.

Yes they are installed properly in my hair folder, and all unpacked I always do a RAR, ZIP, search afterwards

here's the link: Poppet dreads

They show up for me without any problem in both CAS and bodyshop :o

So I think it was a problem in my cache I deleted it and they appaeared
