Uhm...yah.. sorry. Unfortunately i had no idea what "mohawk" was. I'm not that great in english u know. Anyway, i googled it up and got the answer after posting the previous entry. Thank you!
Peggy,

I know english isn't your first language and normally you are wonderful at making yourself understood, but I'm thinking some of the confusion is coming from a few words in your original posts:

"We're happy that the problem of some players will pop up when the hair is used in game has been RESLOVED after being tested by some players and us. Until now it works normally. We're very sorry for the problem.
Please RE-DOWNLOAD THE HAIR and RECOVER the former one."

First word should be "Resolved" and I'm guessing the second would be "Replace".

Also, I know it's covered in this thread, but I think perhaps you should mention in the download description that the hair replaces the "Mohawk" hair style. Some of us love and actually use that style for our punk rockers and it was a little disappointing to see our hard-core rockers walking around looking like girly-girls! (hehe)

Anyway... I wanted to say congratulations for being the hair pioneer and coming up with the first custom hair for Sims 3. Seriously, you should consider a job with EA. You do wonderful work. I can only imagine what you could do if you had access to their tools!

I'm still kicking myself for downloading the "long wavy hair" from the Sims Store. 100 points and it looks like crap. Feel free to replace THAT one!
I just want to make sure I understand.  The hair will replace the mohawk hair, correct?  Will you be able to make hair in the future that will not replace the original hair? I do have some rockers that need the mohawk hairstyle, kind of bummed, but I love this hair, hope you can make more for the game... acutally a beautiful curly hairsytle would be lovely. ;o)
Also, I downloaded your replacement skin, and face skin, and they are gorgeous... works beautifully in the game... especially the detailing on the face.  I so miss Sims 2 skins... hopefully Sims 3 will catch up ;o)

Hey
im still having problems
ive been on so many different sites to try to help me with downloading this AMAZING hair
but it still isnt working
i MUST be doing something wrong

okay so im gonna go step by step what im doing

first:
i press download  
then i save it to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (which is my root)
second:
i made a folder named Mods
then i opened that up and..
third:
i made a folder named Packages
and saved it into there
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages

so far i think im doing it right no?
but one thing i really still dont understand is the Resource.cfg thing
i also made a folder in my root sims name Resource.cfg
but what's that supposed to do?
and empty folder?

and another question i have
is when i download it and press save it saves as a ZIP file
is that okay
does it have to be .CFG file?
or something else?

as you can tell im not very good with computer
lol

thank you sooooooooooo much
i hope someone can help me
im getting so frustrated

I have been having problems downloading the hair for the sims 3
1.I hit download.
2.It pops up
3.I hit open
4.it starts loading.
5.it brings me to a link to open it
6.i double click the link that says package file
7.it goes to microsoft
so i tried the whole process again and i drag
step 5. to my documents/electronic arts/ the sims 3
and then i made a different file in whcih i called packages and dragged another step 5 into the file. An dthen i dragged the file i named packages into mydocuments/electronic arts/ the sims 3
And i open the sims 3, but still no hairstlye is found
I just post here to said thanks, Pegy you're a nice person, I dont care if your english is not too perfec, my neither, but at every opportunity that I sent you an email with any questions, you do answer me, so I like you and I love your work  and I also love the fact that you been the very first to make a hair for sims 3

the hair doesn't go into my documents it goes into the main c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods/packages

you must have the resource.cfg in  c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3
and you must create a folder called mods in  c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3
so it would be  c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods
and inside that folder you would create a subfolder called packages  c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods/packages
Packages is where all custom content goes including peggys beautiful hair
As JWong stated you have to have your resource.cfg in your root file... dont put it in the packages file. So your resource.cfg will just be in your Sims 3 folder, don't go any further ...c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3.

If you put your zip or rar file into the packages folder you need to unzip it and take the cfg file and place it in your sims 3 folder in the root directory; c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3.


The hair is extracted (is your package file) into the packages folder you made; c/program files/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods/packages


I think what is confusing people is they think they have to put the .cfg file in further than just the Sims 3 folder, just leave it in your Sims 3 folder, it will just hang out there ;o).  Do not go through your My Documents folder, you must go into your C drive.
