Let The Moment Take You, Lose Control Tonight (Newsea MilesAway Moose'd)

I'm going to make this quick, because I'm not in the mood to post anything, but I love you guys so here you go anyway.

This is just a simple retexture, I didn't fix anything, because Newsea's hairs are way difficult to fix.

This retexture's name is based on a song called Hit The Lights by Selena Gomez. Some of you might say that Selena Gomez is for little kids, but she's been trying really hard to break into the club scene, and I like her so go sit on a curling iron if you're gonna make fun of me.

Click to enlarge(by the way, the little blue strands in the control image have been changed to red. I had no idea why Newsea wanted them as tips, but I changed them to roots because they're AT THE ROOTS. At least it makes sense to me that way. Long story short, the blue bits near the scalp in the control image will now show up as red in that color combo):
Black:



Brown:



Red:



Blonde:



Control:


CATCH PHRASE!
This hairstyle is 14,865 polygons in LOD0, and 7,931 polygons in LOD1. I know its really high, but I'm not magic, I have no idea how to reduce the polys on Newsea hairs because they can't really be converted, and I have a lot of trouble using Reis' reduction method. 
*This hair is available for toddler-elder females. This retexture is non-default, which means you can have both versions of this AND Newsea's version if you want them all in-game for some reason. Basically, it doesn't conflict.*
This hair doesn't have breast or fat slider support, but it doesn't need either one. 



Disclaimer: I did not mesh this, all bone assignments and meshwork belongs to Newsea, textures are mine. 

If you like my work, please don't hesitate to let me know via the comments section, because it feels good. I also have a facebook, a tumblr, and you can always follow my blog.

Let The Music Move You,
Moosie

P.S.(In Pink): Let me know if you have any issues at all, because I will fix them for you. I want my work to work as well in your game as it does in mine, otherwise I wouldn't bother sharing. 

Go ahead and use this for any picture taking or video making needs you may have. Please don't upload anywhere else unless you are bundling with a Sim, in which case please link back to this page. Please don't steal my textures or claim as your own.

  5. I just tried out your EA control version and it's awesome. Thanks!

    And I couldn't fix the polycount for this one either. Curly hairs like this look terrible and develop a bunch of transparency issues if you mess with them too much. :(

  7. hey metalmoose! your retextures are always really nice, but one little thing: the backgrounds you use for your images are really distracting, I'd suggest just using plain white BG's to better appreciate the colors
