The Weird Triggers (that make me look for CC).

@Mikezumi I'm glad I'm not the only one! :D It's not so bad with male hair, for the most part, but female hair is a different story.

So, in my search for hair consistency, I found Accesory Bangs (left side, 2nd one down)
I only downloaded one style to test. I was a little disappointed about the texture. Maybe I'm missing some texture I was supposed to download (I'll have to check into that). It looks so good in the web picks, but I had a difficult time matching to Maxis hair. I can't even imagine trying to match to detailed cc hair. There is also a weird outline around the ends of the hair, like a heavy black line. Also, it comes in this bright pink color with no texture so I found a "wood" texture with more than one colorable channel. That way I could simulate highlights to match the in game hair.
Anyways, here's some pics on my little CC adventure:

After fiddling with the color, I think it looks ok. Of course there is clipping with some hairstyles, but I bet the shorter/smaller bangs with work.
I'm most excited about giving new life to the original maxis hairs and hiding some of those foreheads!!! :D

I would also like to add that I really like the skin on my model. I also found it on one of my searching binges: rock-the-sims-italy.blogspot.com/search/label/Skintones . She's wearing the female one, and this skin even looks good outside. Usually the outdoor lighting in the game makes even CC skin look bad. Sorry for the long-winded post. o:)
