PALSJ's Poofs - Curly & Afro Hairstyles [B41]

Hi. I had an update cooking for this mod and lost it to a freak Windows corruption. I’ve lost all of my mod files, including sculpts, settings, textures, everything—and am extremely demotivated right now. So please be patient with me for any updates. I was hoping it’d be by September, but now I don’t know. Thanks.

Click Here For The B42 Update

This is a hair mod for Project Zomboid that hopes to focus on curly hair textures and styles, especially those utilized by African Americans and other members of the African diaspora, while maintaining the low-ish poly Project Zomboid style. While you (or your character) do not have to be black to use this mod, the specific goal here is to empower Africana folks to create characters that look like themselves and their communities.

All hairstyles have support for the male and female model as well as hat support, regardless of the name or implied 'gender' of the style. Hair is not gendered--so rock whatever style you like!

Please feel free to suggest names for styles that do not have a cute name!

---

• Added Storm, Storm (Tied), and Storm (Short)
  
• Hat support WIP. You know the drill.
  
• Changed the "attached" state of hairs to more accurately reflect whether or not they are actually "attached" (aka 'tied.'). Any loc'd or braided styles are considered 'tied' while any natural styles are not, unless they like. Literally are. Anyway--I'm gonna live my hair braiding RP dreams. You should too!

• Uhhhh general clipping and ongoing hat support. Y'know.

If there are any bugs not listed here, please use the discussions section to let me know! I will do my best to fix them. You can also check the change log to see when the mod was last updated, what was fixed and/or added, and what is planned for the next update!

Maybe. I intend to add more natural hair styles and masculine styles. I likely won't be trying any straight hairstyles as a) that's not the point of this mod and b) honestly...it seems harder. Haha!

Cool. Any requests can go in the comments, and if anyone wants to support, please feel free to reach out. I'm @PALSJ on Discord. If you are interested in tipping, my Ko-fi is linked below. Comments always make me smile--so please feel free to leave those too! :)

No, and I wouldn't encourage you to do so anyway. I want folks to have access to the most up to date version of this mod, which may happen at any time...subject to my life/schedule. I'm not a tech-y person and my job doesn't often have me in front of a computer--All of these efforts happen in my downtime, but I'm also a friend, daughter, sister, and painfully human! <3 Self care is what keeps me modding, but it unfortunately means that my updates are inconsistent at best.

TLDR, I don't want folks having an out-of-date experience, and while mod packs are convenient for users, they're inconvenient for creators when it comes to updates. Please do not put this mod into a mod pack.

Both very true statements! Regardless of those facts, there are very few hairstyles that accurately represent the tighter-coiled textures African American folks (such as myself) often have. Even in the modding scene, there is only one mod that I would say accurately depicts a texture like my own--and while that mod does a great job--it nonetheless provides a total of two (very nicely done) hairstyles. I simply want to provide more! Nothing more, nothing less.

That's because...they were! I learned Blender in about two weeks (at the time I published this mod), and I still struggle with the PZ/coding side of things. If you can do better, I not only invite you to--I DARE you to.

Like...Please. Please do.
