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 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.

Now for pictures that aren't edited but maybe should be (click to enlarge):

Catch Phrase.
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. That means that if you do decide to retexture my version of this, please do not post it until October 17th, 2012. Please give me credit in your post. Please don't steal my textures or claim as your own, but other than that, enjoy!

  4. I agree with the above anon, never really cared for this hair till your version. I appreciate how you make hairs less "floaty." I hate how in game some longer hairs levitate like three inches above the boobs. Thanks, Metalmoose, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your senior year. You got your whole life ahead of you, don't stress about retexturing/fixing hairs (though I love your work!), just have fun (IRL fun) and enjoy life. :)

  5. You're not dead? Oh dear stop the funeral! Why do people always come back in the middle of them? -.-
    Ha anyway good to see you back, even if just monthly :) I swear I squealed when I saw this entry in MS3B ^_^
    Great retex as usual, a fringed and dip-highlighted hair is the perfect resurrection post imo ;D

  8. Glad to see the cc hair hasn't beaten you, yet. Good luck with school and I hope you get into which college/university you want.

  9. Just found your site this evening and wanted to say THANK YOU. It needed to be in caps, I assure you. You've retextured just about all of my favorite hair styles and made them amazing.

    Also wanted to let you know that some of your older posts that link to uploaded.net no longer seem to be working. Seems to be around skysims 07 and peggy 100, but I think there were one or two more recent posts that didn't work either. Pops up a lovely file could not be found page.

    Thank you again, and best of luck with school!

  11. Sooo...does the EA-shine version feature the rainbow and non-rainbow versions? I really only want the natural colors but the file name doesn't differentiate.

  12. Nevermind, I figured it out. I didn't realize it was classified as a hat. :)
