Just wanted to put out a quick note letting y'all know that retexturing all the default hairs in the sunshine system is not done and I will eventually be back at it.
I'm one of those people who often goes through intense periods of fixation before it tapers off either temporarily (TS2) or forever (Starfield). I can guarantee without a single doubt in my mind that I will always eventually get back to TS2. I've been playing it for almost 20 years at this point and I always come back.
I can't say when I'll be back to retexturing hair as I don't have much control over when the fixations end or begin.
But I wanted y'all want to know that I am still here and, I promise, I will eventually be back to retexturing. Thanks to everyone who follows me and likes my posts; it really does make me smile to see that people like my retextures.

Mediafire purge: inactive creators list [WIP]
This is a list of inactive ts2 creators with downloads hosted on mediafire, which might be in danger since mf is purging files from inactive users soon, and links to their re-uploads/re-hosting. Right now the list is very short, (it’s starting to get long! :-D) so if you know of any more creators “in danger” (i.e is inactive and has cc hosted only on mediafire), please let me know and I’ll add them to the list + try to back-up their content :-)
Thank you to everyone who commented on my post, sent me asks and has re-hosted content! I appreciate you all for helping me :-) I made a draft replying to everyone, but it got so long I decided not to post it. Just know I’m very thankful!
The list is in alphabetic order and if you’re on pc, you can ctrl + f and search for a name :-)
Edit 2020-12-22: I’ve cleaned up and separated the list in different parts! Now it’s much easier to read :-)
Edit 2021-08-24: for some reason, the links are not visible when viewing this post on packrats theme, but they are visible when viewing this post in the dashboard! Click on the eye icon (at the right) if you are on the web and it will open up in the dashboard :-)
Creators whose content need archiving (until proven otherwise):
crabofdoom:
frankscrank: <- waybackmachine link (not sure if content needs saving, as @madegeeky has saved their content from dreamwidth)
iplaywithlife: 
mr.ostrichbird: deleted their mf links years ago, some things has been re-uploaded to packrat
pixellatedollhouse: (older content is hosted on mf only. got permission to re-host!)
trapping: digi has a sfs folder here but we’re not sure if that’s all of trapping’s content or not?
sugah’s place: 
volatile(?): 
@aliksims has contacted Snapun, Eltaninz, W-Sims, Lilith, Dirk-Dreamer,   Sleepysims  (<- stuff has also been archived by them), mr.ostrichbird, Laridian and asked about their mf-account
moonerz: dreamwidth, livejournal
Let me know if you know of any other creators whose name should be on the list and content archived!
Please feel free to help out! Just comment which creator you’re working on so I can update the list :-) I recommend using jdownloader, as it can bulk-download files from mf (which you can otherwise only do through a premium account) :-)
Edit: @simsmadegeeky has a web-crawler tutorial here! And preset can be downloaded here :-) + tutorial here. GOS/Simscave etc spreadsheet by @fireflowersims is here!

Project Mediafryer - Post-holidays Update
Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates the last couple of days. Holiday stuff (rl&sims) tends to make archiving and writing updates difficult.
However, despite the Holiday season, work did not stop. In fact, it progressed very nicely. At this point in time only GoS's Request and wcif sections need to be downloaded. SimsCave is also almost done, with only the Saving the Sims (1) Archives and a few Sims 3 subforums still needing to be rescued. It is truly mindblowing how much has been done!
In any case, it's time to talk about the End-of-2020 CC-hoarding-sprint.
First of all, I'm asking everyone to look at the blogs spreadsheet to see if there's any that need to be added. So, if you don't see a certain mediafire-using blog on the sheet, add it!
I'm also asking people to submit any sims 1 sites or blogs to the TS1 sheet.
So, recently you may have seen @simsmadegeeky's tutorial on Octoparse. Well, they made both a Preset for Octoparse to make it easier to gather links and a spreadsheet for tracking sites that can be crawled with Octoparse. This has the potential to drastically speed up the entire archiving operation, especially on the livejournal, dreamwidth and tumblr front. (Both linked down below)
This is especially important, looking at the current status of the Default Database archiving operation. Most of the clothing sections still need to be done. By crawling the blogs of big-time defaulters (who use(d) mediafire), we can save a lot of time and effort.
Another Database we may want to look at is allthehairs. The spreadsheet for this will be up soon. I'm unsure if we can get it all done before the end of the year, but as the last couple of days have proved: The Sims Community is capable of great acts of data-hoarding and distribution in a very short amount of time.
2020 has been a rather awful year in all regards. Let's take the last days of the year to fight back against all this awfulness and enter 2021 with a bang. Spread the word, the more the merrier! We're gonna download everything we can and your help is NEEDED! the best time to join is NOW!

TS2 DEFAULT HAIR REPLACEMENT
All natural hair colors are Vidcund's Sunshine System and retextured by me unless otherwise noted. Credit and links for mesh, original defaulter, hair texture, and sims used can be found in the .rar file, if I could find the info.
barrettearmuffs_brown replaced with Anto Ainhoa
barrettearmuffs_black replaced with Simpliciaty March
barrettearmuffs_white replaced with Newsea Weed Flower
barrettearmuffs_pink replaced with Anto Marble
barrettearmuffs_blue replaced with Skysims 120
EDITED 2 DEC 2024: Originally the above barrettearmuffs_brown also defaulted simpleearmuffs_brown. I have now separated the two. Simpleearmuffs_brown (with this same hair) will be released soon. Sincere apologies for any trouble this may have caused.

As a personal project (but that I'm planning on sharing), I'm making a spreadsheet of the hair and clothes each premade uses. And I've learned that, wow, they just did not care about men's hair at all.
Like, I know that are there are few male hairs to use in the game in general but still, of the 29 male (base game) premades that I've written info down for, 7 of them have had the shortcombed hair. Seven! That's almost 1/4 of the ones I have down. There are ~25 non-hat hairstyles for men and yet, somehow, the same hair is getting used seven times.
(The thought behind this sheet is so that I know what clothes I should try to keep similar, for character reasons, and which ones I could just totally go crazy with.)
