You Just Met Somebody New (Newsea LemonGrass Moose'd)

*UPDATE* Hey everyone! So my links to the hair got botched because mediafire decided it wanted to change its mind regarding the link, so my link shrinker threw a fit and then none of you could find the files. Long story short, the links should be fixed, thank you  for letting me know, and I am SO sorry for not fixing the problem sooner.
*UPDATE #2* There is a huge issue between mediafire and my link shrinker, sorry, I will add alternate links for now, but will delete them when the issue is resolved. (This also means that none of my other retextures can be downloaded for now. My link shrinker promises to have it all fixed soon, but in case it doesn't, I will add alternate links later, but I can't now as I have a TON of homework to do)
Hello Beautiful people! I had a really wonderful break, and I sang and ate and socialized a lot, so I've been really happy lately. But I'm going back to school tomorrow, so everything is just going to go from wonderful to horrible very quickly. At the very least, I can see it coming, which is nice.

Sorry I haven't really been around, but I was honestly waiting for an awesome hair to retexture, but nothing came. Newsea was busy doing some fug updos and emo kid hair, Cazy has been busy transferring computers and won't post things until March, and Peggy is probably dead (although I REALLY hope she isn't). Anyway, I've wanted to do this hair for the longest time, because I remember sticking it in my game, and then not using it because it looked like a giant helmet-wig for people with heads twice the size of my sims. So I've fixed it. Now it only looks like a giant helmet wig, but fitted a little better to the size of my sims' heads.

This hairstyle's name is based on Robyn's song Call Your Girlfriend. I love this song so much.

CATCH Phu-RAZE!
This hairstyle is 11,347 polygons in LOD0, and is 3,882 polys in LOD1. My only issue with LOD1 with this hair is that it is kind of ugly. So I mean, use at your own risk if your computer can't handle LOD0. 
*This hurrstyle is only available for teen-elder females. WAIT, don't get mad, I can explain. I am NOT lazy, its just that the younger child versions did this and looked really messed up in game. If I ever figure out how to fix this I will, but lets be honest, I probably won't. It is non-default, which means that you can have multiple versions in-game. (I might update with child versions if you guys REALLY want them, but chances are slim as I'll probably have to reconvert them for children and toddlers)*


DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, but I did play with it, and the textures are MINE.

P.S. (A blonde enters a store that sells curtains. She tell the salesman, "I would like To buy a pair of pink curtains". The salesman assures her that they have a large election of pink curtains.He shows her several patterns, but the blonde seems to be having a hard time choosing.Finally she selects a lovely pink floral print.The salesman then asks what size curtains she needs. The blonde promptly replies, "fifteen inches" "Fifteen inches???" asked the salesman."That sounds very small, what room are they for?" The blonde tells him that they aren't for a room; they are for her computer monitor.The surprised salesman replies, "but Miss, computers do not need curtains!"The blonde says, "Hellllooooooooo ............ . I've got Windoooooows!): If you have any issues with my work, please let me know as soon as possible so I can fix it.

I've Loved And I've Lost (Cazy Turn Moose'd)

Okay, so I'm on break, which means that I will be able to retexture a bit more often because I have a lot of time on my hands. Its probably because I have no friends, so I'm going to basically sit in my pajamas in front of the TV with my computer in my lap crying and waiting for a retexture-worthy stuff to come out. I hope you realize I'm kidding. I have friends. And things to do. I promise.

So when I saw this hairstyle I freaked out. I first saw in on S-Club like a million years ago, and I was like OMG AWT CAN YOU POST THAT LIKE NOW PLEASE, and he didn't respond. I now know why. The hair actually belongs to the wonderful and gorgeous and talented Cazy, and I wanted it as soon as she released it. Unfortunately, it wasn't posted until today, so thank goodness for my creepy stalky way of finding hairs.

Anyway, the hair's name is based on my current favorite radio song right now, Take Care by Drake. I'm aware of the song's origins, but I still prefer the Drake version for casual listening. For the curious, this song is a cover of Jamie XX's remix of I'll Take of You by Gil Scott-Heron. Scott-Heron's version does have its merits, though. There is so much more intention and pain and tenderness in his version. So much emotion. Drake's version is beautiful, I don't doubt that, but it lack's the intent of the original.

I'm All Alone, I'm Coming Down (ButterflySims 46 Moose'd)

Here's the thing. I wasn't sure that my texture would look good on this hair, and I was right to think it might look a little bit weird, because it does. But I followed Butterfly's textures EXACTLY. Because I followed her textures so closely, think of my textures being just like Butterfly's, but lighter and less fug; so I mean, I hope SOMEONE likes it.

Alright, so I'm going to be quick, because another thing just became available, and I want to retexture it.

Title is based on Porter Robinson's song, The Seconds.

This hair is 12,912 polygons in LOD0, although I don't know where they all went, because it sure doesn't look like it, and 6,480 polys in LOD1, although LOD1 looks a bit sloppy. Some people will have trouble running it, sorry about that.

Seems Making Love Forever Can Often Risk Your Heart (Newsea Heroine Moose'd)

Sorry its been so long, but I've been waiting for Cazy's new hair to be posted or something else that I liked, and now this came out and I really liked it.

I'm going to try to be quick and stuff, because I have a rather large project due tomorrow and I should probably get to that or something.

This is based on Chinchilla by This Town Needs Guns. Beautiful song.

Mirror, Mirror Made No Reply (Peggy 131 Moose'd)

So as you know, I posted this before with a different name and different preview pictures, but a few hours after it went up, I realized that there was something that I should have fixed on the mesh (Cazy's bone assignments, and a balding issue that Cazy's conversion had). So anyway, to the 8 beautiful people who downloaded this yesterday, I ask that you forgive me and delete the previous version (called CazyPeggyJuice 89) and download this one. 

Yesterday, I discovered that this wasn't only worked on by Peggy, but also by Juice, and the version that you see here is Cazy's conversion, which is actually better than Peggy's conversion for reasons you will see below. I think that there is something romantic about the fact that 3 extremely talented creators all had a hand in creating the product that I present to you now, and I got to throw my name onto that list. 

Basically, this was something of a challenge for me, as Cazy's conversion only had ONE LOD, and it was LOD0, and I had to create 1-3. Also, LOD0's bone assignments were not smooth at all, so I went back and did that. I also removed the accessory to find (to my dismay) that there is a minor blip in the mesh that the accessory covered up. I don't think its too noticeable, but if its something that bothers you in the pictures, its something that will bother you in-game. 

This hairstyle's title is based on Give Me Your Eyes by The Cardigans.

Ketch Phrez.
This hair is 9,630 polygons in LOD0, and is 8,599 polys in LOD1. Most of all you lovely people should be able to run it in-game.
*This hair is available only for teen-elder females. This was repackaged with Daboobs because it didn't have any morphs in any version whatsoever, so it is non-default, which means that this version is original and should not conflict with anything else.*



DISCLAIMER: Original mesh is the work of Peggy and Juice and is owned by Peggy. It was later converted by Peggy and is seen on her website as #131. The original version was then converted by Cazy and is the version posted here, credit goes to Peggy for the original and Cazy for the conversion. LODs 1-3 are mine, and all bone assignments are mine. Textures are mine as well.
