My Body's Naked and Now I Am Free (Raon 36 Moose'd)

So I'm completely aware that I already did this hair awhile ago, but the file was taken down some time ago, and someone was asking if they could get the original file. I couldn't access the original file, and I missed having this in my game, so I decided to do it all over again.

Also, this is technically a 'fix,' only because I had no idea that the original actually had morphs and breast compatibility, so there aren't many differences. The only difference between my version and Raon's is that they have different bone assignments, so there is only a minor difference in animation, and the fat and breast sliders look a little bit different. On top of that, I fixed the horrible balding issue present in the black image by adding a scalp, and my textures are (arguably) nicer and twice the resolution.

This is based on a song by Reptar called Rainbounce. It is still to this day one of my favorite songs.

Click to enlarge (also, I decided I would have MUCH lighter backgrounds because everyone kept telling me that my backgrounds were distracting. Also, I decided I wanted to keep doing patterns even if they're very light because I'm addicted to patterns. Additionally, I will begin making gifs smaller, and also, the jpgs are bigger than most people's screens, because they were taken on a TV monitor and with the HQ mod on. I'm lucky I didn't fry my Mom's video card. (By the way, I'm on my mom's computer because I fried my video card, so I don't have a personal computer anymore, which means less retextures, I'm sorry):

Black:



Brown:



Red:



Blonde:



Control:


CATCH PHRASE (oh, and I also changed the control so that it has a black background because everything is more visible and it makes more sense that way)!
This hairstyle is 9,688 polygons in LOD0, and 5,034 in LOD1. I wish that Raon would create again, the fact that they made this under 10,000 polygons really shows how talented they were. Most of you should be able to run this. Oh and I also added the missing LOD3. 
*This hairstyle is available for teen-elder females. I thought it was much too glamorous for children and I didn't want to put the work in. This is also non-default, which means you can have both versions in game and Raons, if you so desure.*
This hairstyle is compatible with breast morphs and fat sliders.

Disclaimer: I didn't mesh this, Raon did. I just redid the bone assignments and made some fat morphs from scratch, even though it wan't super necessary. Also, the textures are mine and no one else's. 

I have a facebook and a tumblr if you want to follow me there, if not, you can follow me here on blogger by checking out the bottom of the page, or you can comment. Comments make me smile.

PS: If you have any issues with this, please let me know so I can fix them for you. I wouldn't go through all the trouble of posting something for you if I didn't want it to work in your game (Also, if the download doesn't work, please let me know, I'm trying something new, so tell me if it doesn't work for you so I can update the link). 

Feel free to use my work for any picture taking or video needs you may have, but please don't reupload anywhere unless you're bundling with a Sim upload, in which case link back to this page. Please don't retexture my version of this hair without permission, please don't claim as your own, and please don't steal my textures (although stealing them would be silly because each texture is unique to each hair).

My Body's Naked And Now I Am Free (Raon 36 Moose'd)

So I realize that I haven't posted anything in an obscenely long time; and I actually got some (one) complaint, which kind of makes me happy. So I got back on the retexture horse last night, and I discovered that my textures suck hard (Which is hilarious, because my last retexture was with my newest texture (which sucks)). Anyway, I spent all day making new textures, and I have a completely new method of retexturing, and it completely blows my previous method out of the water. And innovation is hot, right? Right. Fuck yes, it is. So I've finally perfected my textures, although there's a really good chance that I'll end up tweaking

So now that I'm finally happy with my textures, chances are that I'll post more, but not as much as I used to. I won't post as often as I used to because retexturing now takes much much longer than it used to (but it looks much, much better). 

The title of this hair is based on lyrics from my new favorite song, Rainbounce by Reptar. I REALLY recommend listening to it, its incredible, and they don't have all the fans that they deserve. 

Although I really love Raon's new textures, I decided to retexture it anyway due to the balding issue (very easily seen on the first image), and the fact that I really hate Raon's control, I just thought it looked weird and it didn't match my other CC, so retexturing it was the only option (that, or not use it). 

Anyway, as before, if you hate gifs, you can click the hair color to see the jpg version of the image. 










CATCH PHU-RAZE!
(Notice how the shine isn't displaced like before? New retexturing methods for the WIN.)

This is only available for adult females, because I have no idea how to age-convert things (THANK YOU DABOOBS).




Disclaimer: I didn't mesh this, although I wish I did, because it is beautiful. It was meshed by Raon, and can be found here

Buenas noches mis cariños,

P.S. (In Aqua): If you find any issues with my files, please let me know, and I'll fix everything. You can use my stuff for whatever you like, but please give me (and Raon, if you're feeling generous) credit, and NO PAYSITES.
