This Scar is a Fleck On My Porcelain Skin (ElexisPeggy 903 Moose'd)

So as soon as I saw this I felt a crushing sadness in my heart because I knew I wouldn't be able to even make my own version for this hairstyle. Elexis did so much incredible work on this mesh and when she posted it she stated that she did not want meshes included in ANY retextures, and my heart sank. But because I love the hair so much (and because I'm a terrible person and made my own version anyway (I wasn't going to post it, I swear)) I asked her if she would be horrendously opposed to my posting a version of her hair with my textures and my morphs/thin morphs, and she said YES!

Because this hair is 12,000 polygons, there were no morphs, because typically hairs over 10,000 polys tend to explode when morphs are added. I have a very specific method of manipulating meshes so that they don't explode when morphs are added, and it happened to work out of me this time around, so this version has morphs added. Additionally, because the hair is now closer to Sims' breasts when they are thin, I added some minor breast assignments so the hair is also breast slider compatible as well. I thought about adding another LOD (because LOD0 and LOD1 are the same) but then I realized that it wouldn't look nearly as nice and wouldn't morph or animate as well as this version does, so I kept the polycount for LOD1 high. Oh and if it wasn't obvious, I made the hair less floaty by adding morphs, it almost sits on the chest and shoulders now.

This hairstyle's name is based on a song by Stars called Your Ex-Lover Is Dead. It may be one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard.

Last time I checked, both LOD0 and LOD1 were 12,220 polygons, but I could be slightly off on that number. 

*This hairstyle is for teen-elder females only. This hair is much too good for children.*

This hairstyle is compatible with breast and fat sliders. As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to clip too much at full fatness.

DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this. Peggy had the idea and did some of the meshing, Elexis made it useable by doing some INCREDIBLE meshing of her own. The morphs and textures are mine, but everything else belongs to Elexis. Her version is here.

If you enjoy my work, you might enjoy my simblr, but you can also follow me here on blogger or comment on my work to let me know!

Let me know if you have any issues with this specific hair. I will do my best to fix them.

If you would like to use this in picture taking or video recording, then please do so by all means, I'd be honored. Please never claim as your own or reupload. Reuploads are only okay with sim bundles, in which case please give me credit. If you don't plan on crediting me and Elexis, please don't include it with your sims. Retextures for this specific hair require some hoop jumping. Normally I'd tell all of you not to retexture until December 1st, 2012, but because of Elexis' TOU, you're going to have to ask her first. I don't require that you ask me, but on this hair, I require that you ask Elexis' permission to retex. If you violate either of these rules (asking Elexis and my 3 week rule), I may ask you to take your retex down. And if you refuse, I will do my best to publicly defame you. Please don't steal my textures or claim as your own. 

The Same Way That The Stars Adorn The Skies (SkySims 47 Moose'd)

So I'm not going to talk much about my personal life this time around because its stressing me out. I will only talk about the good things for now. I'm excited for tonight because I'm going to Universal Studios Halloween Haunt tonight, and I met this guy who is totally my type about a week ago, and I feel like he might be interested. He and I have been texting back and forth and I'm trying to find a way to meet up with him. Hopefully things work out, and I might just keep all of you posted because I don't know any of you in real life. 

So basically I had issues with this mesh because it floated like crazy, and it had no morphs. I made it stop floating and added morphs. Both my version and the original have transparency issues, because my version is an extremely tweaked version of the original as opposed to a conversion like some of my other work. An issue that some people may have with my version over the original is the length of the first two segments of the braid. Some people might think that they're too long, but I think they look looser and more casual. Also, I mostly lengthened them in order to move the entirety of the braid closer to the chest and shoulders. An array of advantages to using my version are the superior textures, actual morphs, and functional bone assignments. 

This hair's title is based on a song by Miguel called Adorn. Its gorgeous, you might love it.

Let me know if you have problems with things, I will do my best. I'm having trouble with some of the old links because I've lost things in crashes and haven't backed everything up, but I plan to update some of my old hairs as it is. 

I would be honored if you desire to use my work in pictures/video, but please don't claim as your own work or reupload. Only upload if you're bundling in a sim upload, in which case I require credit. Otherwise please don't upload at all, that's just rude. Please refrain from posting any retextures of my version of this hair before  November 3rd, 2012. That's 3 weeks from today. Please give me credit if you decide to retexture my version. Please don't steal my textures or claim as your own. Happy Simming!

If You Can Hear Me Now Why Don't You Recall (Newsea HitTheLights Moose'd)

So I'm back. I didn't die, its just that my senior year is a lot of work, and I have to prepare my repertoire for colleges (vocal performance friggyeah), and I've also admittedly been doing a lot of partying when I could have been retexturing and fixing. I think I might try a bit harder to post like at least two things every month, but I can't promise anything and it isn't likely. Sorry kids, I'm busy, and you all have other retexturers to do things for you. Unless you actually care about in-game function, in which case that really sucks for you and I'm really sorry.

So this hair was weird, so I fixed the shape and redid everything. I made it less floaty, and added a lot of bone assignments, and also added a thin morph. Also, I redid the textures, of course.
But then again, in fixing everything, I also ruined everything. There are a lot more clipping issues as a result of the hair being closer. Basically, It is closer to the boobs and to the shoulders and to the face, and clips with all of them sometimes. BUT MORPHS WORK, MUAHAHAHAA.

This song is based on a song by Skrillex, (I know what you're thinking single person who likes my retextures and also happens to like the music that I post, Skrillex is music for 10 year old boys who think they're badass, and you're very correct, but this song has ELLIE GOULDING IN IT) and Ellie Goulding called Summit. Huzzah.

This hairstyle is 8,382 Polygons in LOD0, and 6,654 Polygons in LOD1. I think LOD1 might be higher than Newsea's original, but I made this so long ago that I don't remember at all. Either way, most if not all of you should be able to run it no problem.

*This hairstyle is in the hat section for teen through elder females only. C'mon kids, you should know that I almost never make child and toddler versions of things.*

This thingiemajig is compatible with breast and fat sliders. The face may clip at full fatness, but I don't remember.

Let me know if you have any issues, I will do my best to fix them.

I would be honored if you would like to use this retexture/fix in a video or photoshoot, so by all means go ahead, no credit necessary (although appreciated GREATLY). Please do not reupload anywhere else, unless you're bundling with a Sim upload, in which case I require credit. Please do not retexture this until 3 weeks have passed from today.

Fuck Me Good, Fuck Me Long, Fuck Me Numb (Cazy CarpeDiem Moose'd)

So I said that this would be uploaded yesterday, but it wasn't because family happened and I haven't seen them in like 13 years, so it may or may not have been somewhat important.

So Reis made a version of this, and this is a modified and retextured version of that version. I loved Reis' version because of the awesome poly reduction, but I couldn't deal with the wideness, which is Cazy's bad. I feel like I'm just making everything less volumized lately. Oh well, I believe it looks better. All of Cazy's morphs and bones are still there, but I added a thin morph because I don't like floaty hairs. This will be the last version I release of this hair unless I end up taking the time to redo the texture assignments, which I probably won't.
Also, from now on, my EA control is completely different, the actual highlights are more clearly visible, and I will be using EA's textures for them. Back in the days of Sims 2, people used to do Maxis matching, and that's what my EA control basically is. Additionally, this hair and all future hairs have bump maps. The EA bump maps are very detailed, while the AS bump maps are essentially there to ensure that there won't be any bump mapping. EA is going for realism while AS is going for wiggy and plastic like. That being said, I like my hairs wiggy and plastic like, but now EA control is more work as I now have to make two completely different sets of textures. You can see an example HERE. They each have their own control and specular as well. Which means twice the work although I'm only using AS versions anyway. Don't tell me I don't give you guys the best that I can, because I really do. 

This hair's name is based on Frank Ocean's Novacane. I know that the original retexture of this hair was based on a song by Of Montreal, but I'm obsessed with Frank's stuff, and this is basically a completely new hair anyway.

This hairstyle is 10,050 polygons in LOD0, and 4,312 in LOD1. (The original version is 11,089 and 5,555; so Reis deserves gratitude, lots of it.)

*This hairstyle is available for teen-elder females only, as I'm lazy and there's too much glamour involved for children. As always, the hairstyle is non-default. I'd rather spend an extra hour taking apart and reassembling the orignal than replacing it.*

This hairstyle is fully compatible with fat and breast morphs.

DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this. I didn't particularly fix this, I didn't even reduce the polycount! I just reduced the wideness. The meshwork was done by Cazy. The removal of the extra strands that removed the  extra 1,000 polygons was done by Reis. The textures and this version are only mine because I reduced the wideness and added another morph.

Please give me a heads up if you have any trouble with this, so I can fix it. I know I may be hard to get a hold of, but I WILL see it eventually.

I would love it if you decided to use my work in a video or picture, but please don't upload anywhere. The only time I'm okay with people uploading my work is if it comes in a sim bundle and I am GIVEN CREDIT. I've found my work on the exchange before without any credit given and it just makes me feel dirty. Please don't retexture this hairstyle until 3 weeks have passed since I've posted it. You can post your own retexture of this on August 16th, 2012, but please no earlier than that. Also, don't steal my textures or claim as your own work. Have a nice day.

'Cause When I'm Standing Here In The Dark, I See Your Face In Every Star (Newsea Lullaby Moose'd)

So I'm going to be brief, because I want to do other things today.

I've always liked this hair, hated how high it was and the lack of breast slider compatibility. I've fixed all that. YAY. This is quite likely my last version of this hair, as it is now flawless. Ba-bam bam.

Hair's name is based on an Ellie Goulding song. Ellie Goulding is just wonderful.

This hairstyle is 12,408 polygons in LOD0 and 7,543 in LOD1. LOD1 is higher than the original because the original looked weird in-game. I hope most of you can run it, but it is on the higher poly side. 

*This hairstyle is available for teen-elder females only. There's no way a toddler would have hair like this. Also I'm horribly lazy*

This hairstyle is compatible with fat and breast sliders. Somehow I managed to make fat and thin morphs for this hair without having it explode, I feel like a superhero.

Please let me know if you have any issues so I can do my best to fix them. 

Please feel free to use this version of this hairstyle for anything you like, including picture taking or video making. I only ask that you do not reupload anywhere unless it is with a sim bundle, in which case I ask that you mention me by name and maybe link back here. Also, you may retexture this hair and all hairs prior as long as it has been more than 3 weeks since their release. For example, you may retexture this hair, but I'd rather you not post it until August 9th, 2012. Please don't claim as your own, please don't steal my textures.
