Hey everyone! My name is metalmoose and I retexture hair for The Sims 3. I retexture what I feel like playing with, but feel free to send me any suggestions!

If You Dream Of Tomorrow, Pass Me Another (SkySims 16 Moose'd)

I finally finished all of my finals, but I have a lot of work to to do that I have to turn in late. But even so, I don't want to do it, so I'll probably work on a lot of sims stuff today to procrastinate. I have something pretty great in store for all of you for my 100th creation. This is my 99th. HINTHINTHINTHINThinthinthint.

So I really liked this hair A LOT when it came out, but then I noticed a few things. Aside from the fact that it was much too high poly, and that there weren't any morphs or breast slider compatibility, the hair also had a terrible case of Alien Head. If you'd like to see how drastic the difference is, I've added a gif below to show you the difference (click to enlarge). Long story short, my version is 'better,' because its mine is about 1,500 polys less and has a better looking LOD1, it doesn't have crazy alien head, and it is also compatible with breast and fatness sliders, and has (arguably) better textures. But let me just say that there are some slight transparency issues that may be a dealbreaker for some. They can be seen on the right shoulder of the brown image, and the head of the blonde and control images, but are only visible from certain angles. 
This hairstyle is named after a fantastic song by The Jezabels called Trycolour. It's probably one of the best songs I've heard of recently, it is beautiful. If you listen to just ONE of my recommendations, its this one. Freaking beautiful.

CATCH PHRASE!
So this hairstyle is 9,992 polygons in LOD0, and 6,654 polygons in LOD1 (which is arguably better than the hairstyle's previous 11,714 in LOD0, and 5,832 in LOD1 (I'm aware that it is lower, but it looks really bad in-game). 
*This hairstyle is available for females child-elder. I converted my version of this style for kids because I thought that it was some of my best work in terms of mesh work, and the original version was hideous. No toddler version, I'm sorry.*
This hairstyle is compatible with breast and fat sliders.



DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh the original, but I did a massive amount of mesh work, and all assignments and textures are mine. The general shape may be SkySims', but I put in a horrendous amount of work on this that should have already be done, so I'm okay with taking a bunch of credit for it. 

If you like what I do, please like me on facebook, or follow me on tumblr. Additionally, you can follow my blog where most of my creations are hosted, or you can comment as well. I like comments, they make me happy. So do reblogs!

P.S.(In Green): If you have any issues with this hair, please let me know so I can fix them, it is very possible that may be an issue. 

I would be honored if you wanted to use this hairstyle for any previews you may take, or if you wanted to use it for machinima purposes, so that is more than okay. Please don't reupload this anywhere unless you're bundling it with a sim, in which case please link back here. Please don't retexture this without my permission (although chances are that I won't be in the mood to say yes), please don't claim as your own, please don't steal my textures.
