It's coming... before the year ends

But First lemme take a selfie

(house music playing)

Um... What?

I'm confused...

Hmm...seems like this is going to end badly.

The picture from your other pigtails thread is not from Sims, it's from a 3D image rendering program called Daz 3D. And in the other thread people already gave you TONS of recommendations for pigtails, jeez.

Two hairs that look similar are

Newsea Goldleaf Pookleted - Maxis Match

Also, those aren't pigtails you were looking for. Those are ponytails. Or some people call them bunches. Pigtails are braided. Just sayin', 'cuz I'm a nitpicker.

Might depend on your country iCad. Hair split into two or more bunches are called pigtails, while one hair bunch is a pony tail over here. Braids or plaits are not usually called either pony or pig tails here.

Really? Well, you learn something new every day.

Depends on your region, actually iCad, coz I'm an American too, and to me "pigtails" are two bunches of hair on the sides or back of the head. One bunch of hair is a "ponytail," no matter where it is on the head. One bunch of hair braided is "a braid" and two or more bunches of hair braided are "braids".

Of course, I personally drink "soda," although not too far from me they drink "pop" and where I was born they drink "coke". I also personally "vacuum" the "doormat" even though most people where I live now "sweep" the "rug". (Not that I vacuum or sweep all the time. I am not houseproud -- as long as it doesn't attract vermin or threaten health, life, or limb, I'm good.)

Well, like I said, learn something new every day. Everyone I've ever known called braided ponytails, no matter how many or where on the head, pigtails. Maybe there's a generational thing going, too, given that I'm old. I'm originally from the Midwest USA, but I left there when I was 16 and have lived all over the place since, lots of time in NYC, and also including outside of the US....although when I was out of the US, I never asked anyone about their definition of "pigtail."

As for housecleaning? Bleagh. I got rid of all the carpet in my house. With 8 dogs and 5 cats, it got destroyed quickly anyway. So, all the floors are wood or tile. You wanna know what I use to "vacuum" out the animal hair? A leaf blower. Blow the hair right out the doors. And occasionally I take the area rugs outside and beat the crap out of them. Very therapeutic.

Strange! Living in Scotland nearly all my life, my understanding of pigtails and ponytails is exactly the same as iCad's, the logic I think being that ponies have straight tails and (as every child knows) piggies have curly tails. (And I suppose the braids in a pigtail sort of curl round each other.) Come to think of it, I'm sure I have seen ponies and horses with braided tails, but only because the owner or groom has stood behind them braiding them -- they don't grow naturally that way!

I'm old too!

You will find all different kind of pigtail styles here >> http://modthesims.info/browse.php?f...dcategory=Child

Check first and second screen there.

Well, for who ever is interested, in french (Canada, not France) 2 bunches on each sides of head is called queues de cheval. Which is almost the exact translation for pony tail. But cheval means horse, not pony, queue means tail. (The *s* is for plural). One bunch or 2, we still call them queue de cheval.
But!!! sometimes, 2 bunches will also be called.."lulus". which I think, we borrowed from France french.

And as esmeiolanthe said, braid or braids is used here too the same way, amongst English population. But in french..we call them tresse(s)
And in France french..they call it natte(s)
I live in the province of Québec (not the city, though I am at about half an hour from Quebec city)..if ever you wonder.

I love you all.

8 dogs and 5 cats? :O

Is French in Canada not the same as in France?

Not at all the same, indeed.

Canadian French is different from French French the same way that American English or Australian English is different from British English, the same way that Argentinian Spanish or Mexican Spanish is different from Spanish Spanish. When you've got a giant ocean separating you for several hundred years, your languages diverge a bit.

In portuguese we call one bunch of hair a rabo de cavalo, which means horse tail, and 2 bunches of hair on each side are called maria chiquinha (it's a person name), which makes no sense at all...

South African English is different from American English, Australian English, British English, American English and whatever other English you can think of But pigtails are braided over here and ponytails are not

Ah, but they're still the same language.

Yes, the same language. Broad dialectical variations, with smaller regional variations within each country, but the same language, and people who speak South African English can understand people who speak American English or Australian English just fine (and vice versa) except for the occasional word or two. (When Jo said "esky" once, I had no idea what she was talking about -- I would have said "cooler." Fortunately, we have enough words in common that we were able to sort that out very quickly by simply describing what it does.)

Where are you from ICad? We call double-braided-hair pigtails here too. We usually use the same kind of terminology as the Boston area. Also, we hoover the floor Esme.

British English here (Midlands)

All of the hair pulled into one straight "tail" with a hairtie = ponytail.

Two ponytails = pigtails, or bunches.

Braided hair = plait, or plaits. (Pronounced "plat") Perhaps pigtail plaits. Pigtails, to me, just means two bunches. It doesn't describe whether they are plaited or not.

And then there's the name for what you make your pigtails, or indeed ponytails with! The standard thing, of course, is a bobble, or hair bobble. It could also be called a hair tie, or a hair band (but not a headband or Alice band, that is rigid and goes around the whole top of your head), and if it's the larger kind which you put over a normal hairtie for the extra look (especially in the 90s ) then it's a scrunchie.

I thought it was probably a British thing, us Aussies tend to be somewhere in-between but leaning more over to the British side. My mother is also from the Midlands and my father is from Chester. I am not always sure what I picked up from them or the surrounding enviroment. While I know the word hoover, we say vacuum.

I love dialect discussions. Data point: I mostly grew up in a diverse California neighborhood with probably more Oklahoma-Texas influence than any other one thing. Pigtails were specifically small braids, usually two. Ponytails were unbraided, usually one. Two unbraided bunches were more likely to be called pontytails, and I can remember the first time I heard them called pigtails as an adult I reacted like iCad: it seemed wrong.

The word "plait" I first encountered as a spoken word in the Philadelphia neighborhood I moved to in the sixties, spoken by black Appalachians, and I didn't know what it meant at first. They pornounced it "plat" also, which was doubly confusin as the only other time I had seen/heard the word was in a reading test where i was illustrated and paired with a picture of a plate: obviously they were supposed to be homophones.

I've never heard the noun pronounced like that, though I hear the verb pronounced that way from time to time.

So I guess you could plate your plats? And then they'd be pigtails, but if you got lazy and didn't braid them, they'd be ponytails?
