We've Already Evolved Into Machines In Our Minds (Newsea Guess Moose'd)

I'm going to try to make this fast because school.

I actually realize that this hair hasn't been uploaded by anyone yet, and my copy was given to me by a fabulous little bird that I will be extremely grateful to for a while. In order to protect this fantastic bird, I did my best to remove the trackers via a method that I won't mention just in case that Newsea is feeling all innovative and wants to find a way around my method.

I checked this thing out in Milkshape, and I realized that the bone assignments (also, Newsea is doing breast assignments now!!) were pretty decent and there was no need for me to mess with them, and after looking at this thing's ridiculous polycount, I realized that fat morphs were an impossibility, so basically this is just a retexture.

This hairstyle's name is based on an enchanting song by Röyksopp called Vision One. Give it a listen. If your mind and ears are open, you will enjoy it. Also if you've smoked pot. I'm not gonna lie, you'll love it a lot if you smoke pot first.

CATCH PHRASE.
This hairstyle is 15,204 polygons in LOD0, and 6,292 polygons in LOD1. Chances are that some of you won't be able to run this with very high settings, and lets face it, it won't look good in lower settings. I hope most of you can run it!
*This hairstyle is available for females of all ages, and is non-default so you can have multiple versions if you're into that kind of thing.*



DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, nor did I fix it. All LODs, morphs (or lack thereof) or breast slider compatibility goes to Newsea, but the textures are mine, dagnabbit. 

I have a page on the internet that will let you stalk me a bit, if you so desire. Also, if you like what I do, please feel free to comment or subscribe. 

Let Us Say Goodbye To All Our Notions,
Moosie

P.S.(Its purple): If you have any issues with this retexture (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIMENTAL TRACKER REMOVAL, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH), then please let me know so I can fix it. 
Tracker removal aside, please don't retexture this version unless you know what you're doing. And by that I mean knowing how to repackage so it becomes non-default. Also, I've tried to retexture a retexture before, and that is unpleasant for all parties involved. I'm sure the original will leak soon enough, and if not, then I'll remove the trackers for the original and post that at the cave or some shiz. Other than that, use this version for anything you'd like, but please no reuploading unless it is being bundled with a sim (in which case I need you to link back to the page where you got the hair). Please don't steal my textures.

All I Wanted To Be Is A Million Miles From Here (Peggy 752 Moose'd)

So these past few days have included a really messy situation. I finally hit TSR's radar, and they retaliated by having some of my files taken down. I've reuploaded them to uploaded.to, and here's hoping they stay there, because there's no way I'm NOT gonna fix Skysims' sloppy work or Cazy's dark textures in the future (double negative means I will, just in case you didn't catch that).

So I've always wanted to convert this hairstyle, and it was actually my first conversion attempt, but it didn't work out. I just wasn't good enough at converting, so I've actually been trying to convert this thing on and off for about 4 months. In total, I've attempted to convert it about 8 times? But I've finally done it properly

So this hair has no breast assignments or fat morphs because they aren't actually necessary. Even with the sliders at their extremes, the hair doesn't clip, so it should be fine. I promise I'm not being lazy, because I actually really love this style, and plan to use it quite a lot. Also, I tried to make it breast slider compatible, but the problem with that was that the corkscrews did NOT play nice with larger breasts. Also, I assigned the hair to the clavicle bone instead of the spine bone, and it animates VERY differently than most hairs, so I mean, its going to be interesting. But personally, I like the way it animates.

Anyway, this hair's name is based on a brilliant song by Mark Ronson and Lily Allen called Oh My God.

CATCH PHRASE.
This hairstyle is 10,137 polygons in LOD0, and 7,054 in LOD1. (Which is an improvement over the original's 16,00 for both LOD0 AND LOD1). I hope most of you will be able to run it.
*This hairstyle is only available for teen-elder females, and is non-default because I repackaged the whole thing by myself.*



DISCLAIMER: I didn't make the original version, but this conversion is ALL mine. This doesn't clip because of me, this animates because of me, and the textures are mine too, so its pretty because of me. Peggy laid the groundwork for this conversion, but I completed it myself. 

IF you like what I do, please comment subscribe, or like my facebook! Or all three.

It Don't Matter To Me-
Moosie

P.S.(In PAAAAANK): Please let me know if you have any issues with my work so I can fix them as soon as possible.
Go ahead and use my work for anything, but please don't reupload this anywhere unless you're bundling with a sim, in which case I ask that you link back to the page in which you got it, please don't steal my textures, and ask before retexturing.

Feel Like You Were There Yourself (SkySims 07 Moose'd)

So I have a lot on my plate right now, this will be quick.

This hair has a lot of issues. That's the first thing I'm going to say. I didn't even want this initially, but then I thought I could use some conversion practice, and you know what? I like my version better. So there. The original had no morphs, so I fixed that, and that's a good thing. Unfortunately, though, the hair doesn't like to play nice with boob morphs, so this happens, which kind of sucks, but I can't fix it, I'm sorry, I don't know how. This whole deal is a conversion of the Sims 2 version, actually so I mean, I had a lot to do, and I reduced the polycount by about 1,500 polygons, because the original didn't like the idea of morphs at all (the original version was too high poly, it would have exploded).

This hairstyle's name is based on Gorillaz's song Dare.

CATCH PHRASE
This hair is like 10,288 polygons in LOD0 (which is better than the like 11,700 that the original had), and 7,433 polys in LOD1.
*This hair is available for all ages, but I didn't fix the child and toddler versions, because I don't believe it to be appropriate, and I won't use it. But my textures are there, and stuff. This is non-default, which means multiple versions if you want.*

DISCLAIMER: This isn't mine, its actually by Skysims, but this version, all LODs and textures are mine, so credit for this thing's existence is mine. 

If you like my work, or just want to talk to me, I have a facebook. Also, you can comment below or subscribe if you have a blogger account. 

Its Coming Up,
Moosie

P.S.(IN ORANGE): If you have any issues, let me know so I can fix them. Thanx. 
Please go for it and use my work for whatever you'd like. Please do not reupload anywhere, unless you're bunding with a sim, in which case I require that you link back to the hairstyle's respective page. Also, please don't claim as your own, please ask before retexturing any edits or conversions, and don't steal my textures.
