We're Going Places We Never Dreamed Of (Peggy 881 Moose'd)

So I decided not to go to school because I'm not in the mood to listen to my teacher babble about surfing for 2 hours. I can't do it. I don't enjoy surfing, and as inspired and passionate as he is, I simply am not capable of caring about what he says.
I guess that this is my 100th creation, which would be cool if my first 85 weren't terrible. But its whatever. That means I have 15 good ones.

So I really liked this hair a lot, but then I got it in-game and I saw the roots and the lack of morphs and decided it needed fixing. I added a picture of the difference below. My version isn't that wide, by the way, but the fat morph is. Basically, this is better because its smaller by almost 2 thousand polygons, my textures are better suited for general use, I believe it is better fitted to the head, and it has fat and breast morphs. Unfortunately, I created one visible mesh squiggle on the left side of the hair, and it has some minor transparency issues that you can see in the blonde and control images. 
So this hairstyle is based on lyrics from Dragonette's song Pick Up The Phone. I love this song and I picked it because the lead singer's style is as gritty as I perceive this hair to be so yeah. That's that.

CATCH PHRASE!
Believe it or not, I managed to get this hair down to 10,000 polygons for LOD0. I know, it's exactly 10,000 and that's ridiculous, but you can check for yourself. LOD1 is 6,010 polygons. (I believe that these are an improvement over the previous version's 11,888 polygons for both LOD0 and LOD1).
*This hairstyle is available for all ages, but the only fixed version is for adults, the child and toddler files use Peggy's meshes. This hair is non-default, which means that it should not conflict with anything else.*
This hairstyle is compatible with breast and fat morphs.



DISCLAIMER: I didn't mesh this, the basic shape belongs to Peggy, but this newly fitted and and animated and morphed version is mine. The textures are mine, the bone assignments are mine, the morphs are mine. All mine. But the Sims 2 version is Peggy's. 

If you like what I do please don't hesitate to tell me in the comments section, because I love comments. You can also subscribe to my blog, and if you'd like to, you can check my facebook, or my tumblr if you're into either of those. 

And I'm Sorry But I'm Not Surprised,

P.S. (In orange): Please let me know if you're having any issues with my work. so I can fix them for you. 

Please feel free to use this hairstyle for any picture taking or machinima you may want to do. All I ask is that you don't upload anywhere else unless you're bundling with a sim upload, in which I ask that you please link back here. Please don't retexture without my permission, and please do not claim as your own or steal my textures.

  1. The improvement on this is astounding! Thanks again! =3

    Today, after the very brief consideration that I would try to convert a mesh from The Sims 2 to The Sims 3, I feel that I have a newfound appreciation for what you do-- the effort you put in must be staggering.

    1. Damn, I didn't know uploaded.to would fail me as well. Okay, I've replaced the link, now you're getting a direct download and it should work, I'll go back and change all the uploaded.to links to direct links, because I just learned a new trick!

      God, I hope it works. I'm really sorry!

  6. Keep trying everyone, I've been updating the links with different sites, lets see if we can get them to work?

  7. Yay, thanks for the working link! Though it was confusing to figure out how to dl it from that site O_o.

  8. Great Fix, thanks but unfortunately I cannot download from the links that you have provided. I go through the whole process and then eventually when I click on the download link it takes me back to the original page and I start all over again and the whole process repeats itself over and over again.

    Please help.:))

  10. Your Version is very awesome. But its a bit too long for me. Would be cool to have a mix from Peggy and your Version.

    I love the wide, above the eyes, but i dont dont like the fact that it's longer at the breasts.
    I hope you understand it ._.

    Greetings :)

    1. I really wanted it to be a bit longer at the breasts, so I completely understand that you'd want something different, but Anubis' version seems to be a bit closer to what you're looking for. Unfortunately, his doesn't have fat sliders, but I guess its something of a tradeoff, you know?

    2. Forget about, I got your Version ingame and there is nothing to complain about! :)
