Default Most of the xm sims 2 free hairs missing ?
Hi guys, first of all pardon my english please, i'm a frenchie... I don't really know if it is the best thread to post my question, but I think so... Please tell me if I'm wrong ?
Well, I've recently tried to check XM sims old hairstyles for sims 2 (nostalgia), and, sadly, it appears that they're all missing ?... I got 404 error everytime i click on the picture to get the mesh, or even the hair colors. What happened ? Will that wonderful site be available again, soon or later ? And if not, WCIF these awesome meshes that I really miss ?

Here is the site : http://www.xmsims.com/sims2/ehtm/main/index.htm

Thank you all for your help.

I'd like to know if these are hosted anywhere else, too. Some of these meshes are perfect for my sims, but I can't do anything without the meshes...

The meshes I'd really like to find now, are the n°06, 08, 09, 18, 19, 36, 68, 90, 96. If anyone could share them, even in a private message, please... Thank you all :3 I saw that Peggysims is down too, now. Dunno what happens with all these sites ? That's really sad, they were so cool...

Try sending an email to Flora at XMSims, she responded very quickly when I emailed her a while back, even though she struggles with English.

What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

I was having trouble with the site as well and Mootilda had mentioned that there was a problem with people in the states being able to access the downloads and that I would need to look into a proxy server, maybe this advise would be an answer to your difficulties as well.

I do not know how to use a proxy server so if anyone knows where the files can be found available for those of us in america, I would be grateful.

The wiki has a list of several proxies. That might be a good place to start.

It has nothing to do with the state you're in. I also cannot download any of the older hair by Sue or Flora. Only death's hairs are still available as far as I see

Wow, thank you very much for your answers !!
I've had the idea to contact her but I didn't got the time yet. Think that's what I will do !
Oh, and I'm not in the US, but I can't access the site anyway. It seems to be really dead.. Sadly.
The second solution seems really complicated for my poor little brain, hehe.
Whatever, thank you again

So let me ask if she answered you and did you get what you wanted? I would love to download some of old files from xmsims, but got the same problem as you. :S

I emailed her recently and got no response. I'm in NZ, so it definite isn't just an American problem.

I completely forgot about the waybackmachine, and I tried it myself. It works on my end, and I was hoping for a solution to the XMSim situation.

I just tried a few at random and they're downloading fine for me. To download the hair meshes you just click on the picture of the hair. For the colors click on the color names above the pic

Nope, still not working the normal way. Only the newest files by death alias alex are available and those are the ones I personally like least and would never use

I use to have a lot of these hair styles several years ago. I lost them all when my computer crashed. I had stopped playing Sims 2 for quite a long while. I resently pulled out the old DVDs and loaded them all again. I too was very disappointed when I discovered I couldn't download them again. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to post this link. I know there are many of us die-hard Sims 2 players that are thrilled.

Same here! I've wanted the hair on page 53 the most and it still doesn't work.
I downloaded a few other nice ones, so atleast I got some of them.

There are some of XM's hairs uploaded here http://simscave.mustbedestroyed.org...p?topic=31093.0 in this thread. I'm mookie over there and got lazy and never uploaded the ones I mention having in that thread , but still happy to send links via pm here or there to anyone that wants the ones I have. As I mention over there , not a big fan of their textures so most of what I have is their meshes with a different creators retextures.
