In Your Eyes, I'd Like To Stay (Butterfly 38 Moose'd) *UPDATED 12/8/11*

In a nutshell, my life is being tired. Hopefully, things will change.

Okay, so I'm really excited about this retexture because I successfully edited the mesh by myself without any help. Bam. I feel awesome. But honestly, being realistic here, I didn't really do anything, I looked at the mesh, I tried to shrink it so that it would fit the head better, but that was a disaster. I managed to successfully shrink it down to the head, but I really wanted to maintain the hair's original length, so I ended up moving the mesh down a bit (all this took about 4 hours). I realize that some people will think that the hair looks ugly anyway, that I did a terrible job with the texture, etcetera. Basically, I think that the hair looks cute now, and anyone who thinks its a problem can stick to the alien head version. To address the texture issue, I blame butterfly's texture assignments, which are complete trash. Don't get me wrong, the hair is beautiful, but the texture assignments are sloppy, and can even be seen in the original.

Post will speed up now, because I want to sleep.

Title is based on Katy Perry's song Thinking of You. Lets get one thing straight about Katy Perry. I absolutely despise Katy Perry. I'll leave it at that, but I like this because this song reflects the kind of artist I think she should have become.

This hair is only available for teen-elder females as I have no idea whatsoever as to how to convert this for children and preschoolers. But I'm learning, woooo. Anyway, thank daboobs for this, because otherwise this wouldn't have been possible. No more Daboobs, sorry.

Stop Makin' A Fool Outta Me (Butterfly 18 Moose'd)

Oh my gosh, it's been a ridiculously long week. I straight up feel terrible, and after this, I'm definitely just going to conk out, I'm not feeling as lovely as I should.

Anyway, this hair was quite some trouble. I DID have access to Butterfly's files, as you will be able to see, thanks to my good friend Sunset, but after quite some time, I decided to go with Anubis' meshes (thank you so much for them, Anubis!). Both sets of meshes have issues, (Bfly's have no slider support, have alien head syndrome, and have a horrible animation; Anubis' have no slider support either, but the head (while wider) fits quite nicely, and although there are a few gaps in the mesh, the animations are lovely) but Anubis' came out on top in my book.

Anyway, this hair's title is based on Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse's Valerie. It's quite pretty, although I hate the Glee and Bruno Mars versions, fuck those versions. And if you're down with those versions, fuck you too (Just kidding, to each his own, but I really do truly hate them).

This hair is only available for teen-adult, because I've deemed it too glamorous for old women, just change the caspart or send me an email for an elder enabled version, because I DGAF. THANK YOU TO DABOOBS.

This is available for Teen-Elder females, I think. Made possible by DABOOBS.



DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, it was meshed by the talented peggy, who gets a bad rap (for good reason) for charging for her creations and for her shit textures. I love her work despite all of this, because I manage to get it for free anyway, and I could NOT do any better if I tried.

It's Okay Not To Be Okay (Anto 81 Moose'd)

Hey kids, It's been about a week or so, and a lot has happened since then. I finally got Pets and it murdered my game, but I backed everything up, so I had to reinstall everything, and I got it to work with (most of) my CC.

In my personal life, I had to get stitches on Monday because I got kicked in the head (assisted cartwheel, ankle to temple, blood all over the place). Then on Friday during my rehearsal for The Musical, I noticed a pain in my lower right stomach, and began to google things. Apparently, if anyone has a pain in their lower right stomach, they are in danger of having appendicitus. Anyway, I went to the emergency room again for the second time that week, and I got a cat scan, and I had to get my appendix taken out. After the surgery, I was in so much pain I couldn't even lay down, so I didn't get any sleep that night. Last night, I had the same issue, and long story short, I had to sleep sitting down. But the good thing is that I'm not dead.

Anyway, this hair is definitely a preference call, but I believe that my texture is shinier. Additionally, I realize that I'm violating Cazy's terms, but I've never gave any fucks before, and I don't give any now. Additionally, it isn't Cazy's mesh, or her texture, and Anto's terms of use allow for retexturing and inclusion of meshes and stuff.

This hair's title is based on Jessie J(ay)'s song Who You Are. It's a beautiful song sung by a talented woman, and I think you should check it out.

My Boy (Butterfly 37 Moose'd)

We'll see if I can keep this post on the shorter side, because I have to go party. 
Anyway, I like this mesh, despite its transparency issues, and the way it sits high on sims' foreheads. 

The title is based on this.
