I Ain't Got The Time, And If My Daddy Thinks I'm Fine (Newsea Spotlight Moose'd)

I'm very very aware that I've done this hairstyle before, I'll explain why I did it again in a bit, but I'm going to go on a very short rant here. (The rant is in asterisks)
**My issue with the sims community is that no one actually helps anyone else. Back when I first did this hair everyone told me I sucked, and after taking a look at my work, I'd have to say I agree with the fact that I REALLY REALLY sucked. But the problem was that a lot of other people would tell me that my work was great, and that I should just ignore the trolls, and I did. As a result of ignoring them, I kept cranking out terrible stuff, and I've been cranking out terrible stuff ever since. My issue is that I'm learning as I go, but that means that every time I learn something new, all of my prior work is no longer relevant. For example, I just got rid of all the hairs in my game from before April. The reason I did this is because I simply cannot use them in-game anymore, I can't put them on a Sim and then watch the Sim wear those hairs anymore, because all I can see is how bad they are. I threw out a majority of them because they tend to stick out literally feet in front of my sims, but some of them were due to bad bone assignments. I'd like to know when I'm going to stop cranking out things that I'm going to get rid of a month later. Because of everything I've learned, my standards for hair in-game are ridiculous. I can't use Anubis fixes anymore. I'm actually getting to the point where I can't use any hair that anyone else makes with the exception of Cazy and Reis.
I don't really know what to do, or where I'm going with this, I'm just frustrated. Now that I know how to make meshes work almost exactly the way I want them to, I can't put anyone else's work in my game. Its driving me nuts. I'm just going to go back and do all of my favorite hairs all over again. I think I'm going to start with Newsea, because most of Newsea's stuff has a really good foundation, and I can edit their stuff as opposed to fully converting everything. I have a hair by SkySims and one by Butterfly in the works, but I don't really have the patience to fix their sloppiness.
And I know how horrible this sounds, but where is my recognition? I put so much work into these meshes and I feel like no one cares because I'm not Anubis. Maybe I would have been better off stopping when everyone told me I should have. But hey, no one is telling me to stop now.
I guess encouragement is better than telling someone to stop creating because with time, the creator will get a lot better if they're willing to teach themselves. I'm just miffed because I spent a year cranking out trash.

Quick life update: I've been doing a lot of socializing and partying, and I went on a first date with this really nice guy last night. Which is why I haven't been posting. I have 3 hairs ready to post at this point, and I'm only just now taking and editing pictures.
Is it normal to meet your date at 7PM and get dropped off back home at 2AM? I mean, we watched a movie, but how long do dates typically last? Even without the movie we were able to stand each other for 5 hours, and that means our whole date lasted a total of 7 hours. It wasn't boring, it wasn't uncomfortable, and I didn't feel pressured into having sex with him, it was just nice. It's actually really great, because I never thought that anyone would be attracted to me, but I guess he must have been, otherwise why did he ask me out and why did he deal with me for 7 hours? I want to go out with him again. Is it a good sign? I mean to those of you who have dated, does dinner and a movie and then sitting on the beach talking for hours warrant a good date? I'm new to all of this. Rant over.**

^Sorry about the wall of text.^I liked this hairstyle, but I thought it was too massive to be a thing, so I shrank it. The bone assignments are Newsea's but I added some minor breast assignments, because I added a thin morph and it clipped with shirts by Icia23. Only Icia23, strangely enough. I guess her stuff has big boobs than most other stuff. Unfortunately, the tips CAN look a tiny bit squashed when Breasts are at maximum size, but its better than clipping, in my opinion. Oh by the way this hair has a new experimental texture. The EA version doesn't use my texture as a diffuse, it uses EA textures. I'm taking EA control to a new level, everyone!

By the way, shout out to Reis, who helped me fix the hair when it looked like this(the hair was meant to be blonde in that image. Reis is a life saver).

This hairstyle's name is based on Amy Winehouse's song Rehab. The fact that she's dead makes me sad. What makes me sadder is that I didn't have as much of an appreciation for her when she was alive, and now that she's dead, I love her work. What does that say about me?

This hairstyle is 12,806 polygons in LOD0. In LOD1, this version is 7,913 polygons. The original version had a LOD1 with somewhere around 5,000 polygons, but it was ugly in-game, so I made it prettier, but also bigger.

*This hairstyle is only available for teen-elder females. I don't usually support children having ridiculous hair, I  was not in the mood for converting my version for kids and toddlers, especially because its so dang glamorous.*

Somehow this hair is compatible with breast sliders AND fat sliders despite being so crazy high poly.

Your Cigarette Kisses That Taste So Sweet (ButterflySims 49 Moose'd)

So I know that I promised that I would post this like three days ago, but I realized that I hadn't made made any other levels of detail than LOD0, and I had to make them. Not to imply that it took me three days to make them, but I went on a surf trip with some friends for the past three days, and I made them just now when I got back. By the way, this isn't my 100th creation, its my 100th post. But its special anyway, this is the special thing I was talking about.

I've been working on this thing ever since somewhere around early April, and then I gave up after I realized I couldn't fix the Sims 3 version, gave up, and waited for the Sims 2 version for like a month, and then continued to work on it for a really long time until now, because I'm finally satisfied with this thing.
Remember how the last thing I released had alien head issues as well? This thing has the worst Alien head issue I've ever seen ever. Hands down, the WORST case of Alien head I have ever seen IN MY LIFE. I really like how it turned out, and the difference is almost laughably entertaining (gif below). Long story short, this version is somewhere around 4,000 polygons less than the original, it doesn't have an alien head, is compatible with breast and fat sliders, and has better textures (assuming you think my textures are better than Butterfly's). Oh and I also fixed a little squiggle in the mesh that is very clearly seen in the brown image. Again, as I'm terrible at preventing transparency issues, there are some in this version. I'm sorry, you can see them in the gif below as well, but they're only from the side. 

The hairstyle is named after a song by Dirty Vegas called Electric Love, listen to it, its great.

CATCH PHRASE(The reason that the control image's hair is so giant is because her breasts are at max)!

This hairstyle is 10,048 polygons in LOD0 (which is crazy in comparison to the original's 14,280 polygons) and 6,479 polygons in LOD1 (compared to the original's 6,767 polygons).

*This haistyle is available for females of all ages except for toddlers, because there is no way in hell a toddler has this hairstyle. It makes no sense, and there's also the fact that I never ever use children or toddler versions, and I'm going to be honest and say that I haven't even tested the child version. Anyway, only child-elder females can wear this hairstyle. Sorry*

This hairstyle is compatible with breast and fat sliders. (Let me just say that I fought HARD to get this to be compatible with fat sliders. I don't think you understand. I had to try to reduce this by 4,000 polygons, and even then, I had to make the fat morphs at least 8 times. That means that I made the fat morphs 8 separate times, and had to test them in game 8 times, and 7/8 times the horrible thing EXPLODED. I don't think you understand how horrendously discouraging that is. But I pulled through, for all of you (Because I don't even MAKE fat sims). You can thank me by enjoying this thoroughly (and sending me screenshots because they make me happy).) But the hair clips with the face at maximum fatness. I'm sorry, I can't fix that.

DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, but I fixed the atrocities committed by the original mesher. The general shape and idea for this hair goes to butterfly, but the way that this hair fits your sims, the way that this hair animates, and the textures you see are all mine. I am aware of the tremendous amount of work that goes into meshing, but the fact that the work was only halfway done bothers me to no end. 

If you enjoy my work, please like my facebook, follow me on tumblr, comment on my post, or subscribe to my blog.

P.S.(In Aqua): If you have any issues with this hair at all, please let me know so I can fix them. Especially since this thing has been in the works for weeks and I would hate for it to not work for you. And because I never tested the children's version.

Please feel free to use this hairstyle for any preview or machinima needs you may have, but please do not upload anywhere else. The only time it is acceptable for you to reupload this is in a sim bundle, but in that case PLEASE link back to my blog. Please don't retexture this without my permission, although whether I allow you to retexture it depends completely on whether I'm feeling pissy or not that day. Please do not claim my work as your own and please don't steal my textures. 

You Come Along Because I Love Your Face, And I'll Admire Your Expensive Taste (SkySims 14 Moose'd)

Things have been going on. Things are a little bit better at home, but school is still a massive amount of stress. So I mean yeah. But on the bright side, I just got back from one of the greatest parties ever, and OH MY GOSH I feel SO good.

I saw this hair on TSR, and I decided to do it out of pity for everyone who wanted the hair but then put it in-game. I don't know why, but Skysims didn't do a very good job of fitting it to the head, so I felt the need to fix it.

So this whole thing is a preference call, the hair is completely different from the original, and if you don't like the way it looks you should NOT download. I think the other one looks something like someone's actual hair, but its very thin and sad and way too high on the head, and my version looks like a pretty decent wig. Also, SkySims' version is longer than mine, so if that's your cup of tea, go for it. Additionally, SkySims' animations are much nicer, but mine make more sense. The entirety of SkySims' mesh has two assignments, and mine has six, so if you want blood sweat and tears, you might want my version. Also, my version has a way lower polycount. My version is like 1,200 polys less than the original, which can really be all the difference for some people. But as a result of this, the undersides can kind of animate funny, and sometimes they poke through when Sims heads move to angles that are too extreme. I have ONE transparency issue on my version, and its hardly noticeable in game, but I'm not gonna deny it is there, its on the end of the ponytail, but its kind of minor. Long story short, this is fully compatible with breast and fat sliders and covers more of the head, while the original isn't compatible with any kind of sliders whatsoever and resembles a really silly hat on a bald person. 

Anyway, the hair's name is based on Panic! At The Disco's song New Perspective. I love the song, its so highschool but in a good way. It appeals to me in the best way, you know?

So this hairstyle is 8,990 polygons in LOD0 (which is a big improvement over the original's 10,146 polygons), and 5,007 polygons in LOD1. This is good news, because this might be the lowest poly thing I've done in quite some time, most everyone should be able to run it, I think!!

*This hairstyle is available for teen-elder females, and that's it. I'm sorry, I wasn't about to make a child conversion, its not what I want out of this.*

DISCLAIMER: I did not originally mesh this, this hair's initial shape belongs to SkySims, and their texture assignments are still theirs as well, but the rest, including the hair's newer (and improved?) shape, the current bone assignments and my new-found fat morph compatibility method are all mine. 

If you like what I do, and would like to be notified earlier than everyone on MS3B of when my stuff comes out (if it gets featured on MS3B, you never know, my work might not be worth featuring. Because the copy/paste paintings of Gaga and Madonna are CLEARLY much harder to make and much more work, and a higher priority than the fixes I spend a minimum of four hours on), then please go ahead and subscribe to my blog, or like my facebook page. Also, if you like this please comment and tell me, it makes me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy and more likely to post more things more often.

If you have any issues at all, please let me know, so I can try to fix them as soon as I can. 

I would be totally and completely honored if you wish to use this stuff in any sort of preview at all, or in a video or anything, it is more than okay to use my work for this, no credit necessary. But please do not re-upload anywhere else unless you're bundling it with a sim, and if you are bundling, please link back here. Also, please do not retexture this without asking, but if you ask, chances are incredibly high that I will refuse.  I know it sounds terrible, but I spent like a good eight or more hours on this fix, and I'm not stoked at the idea that someone else gets to slap their textures on it in ten minutes and feature it on their blog. No thanks. Please don't claim as your own, and please don't steal my textures. 

I Waited So Long For Your Love (Cazy Amanda Moose'd)

So in my opinion, I think this may be one of Cazy's greatest hairstyles, I think it is absolutely beautiful.

I've rambled quite a lot in my previous posts, and I think now would be a good time for me to just shut up and post, especially since I've only retextured this one, and haven't actually fixed anything, because Cazy is beautiful and skilled and all that Jazz, and I am but a lowly peasant or something. I know I don't make sense, don't judge me, I'm sleep deprived.

This style is based on Perfume Genius' spectacular song Hood. Warning, the music video contains homosexual themes, and I know some people don't want to see that, but honestly, the song and the video are beautiful, and if you're gonna get butthurt about it, don't bother watching. Also, screw you, we queerios have to watch you breeders make out all the time, and we deal without getting offended all the freaking time. Additionally, no one in the video kisses anyone, they just sit there in underwear and do artsy things. Rant over.

DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, as a matter of fact, my textures for this hair and blended a tiny bit with Cazy's because her hairs tend to make everyone else's textures look a bit jagged anyway. So its mostly hers, she is a Sims 3 genius. I want to be Cazy when I grow up.

You can use my retextures for whatever you feel like, but I'd rather you didn't reupload them, and by that I mean don't reupload them unless you're bundling them with a sim upload, in which case I require that you give me credit. Don't steal my textures. Bye. 

I'm Losing It, With Every Move I Die (Newsea NightBloom Moose'd)

Okay, so things have been hectic, and my game keeps crashing for some reason (not hair related, I'm positive) so taking previews has been really hard. My life has been pretty nuts, and I've been pretty stressed because I have too much to do all the time, and its driving me nuts. This is probably the closest thing to stress relief I have, though, so the posts are probably still going to come out at least weekly, but no promises.

Disregard the following paragraph, its just me venting.
One thing that's really been pissing me off is some of the newer retexturers out there. It doesn't bother me that other people retexture, but the fact that they release everything so quickly. To be honest, I'm very jealous of them all. It takes me about 4 hours per retexture, and most days I simply don't have the time to do my life stuff much less sims stuff. I also have a feeling that these people are just dropping their textures into a template and just cranking everything out while I'm sitting here MAKING textures for each individual hair, and yet I STILL get shit for not being pooklet. AND on top of that, I go to great lengths to demonstrate the difference between my textures and the originals, and all these people get praised for taking like 5 pictures in random colors. I have to take 15 (3 for each color) and then people say that my graphics card is terrible and I shouldn't be making things for Sims. You simply can't win.

Title is based on Ke$ha's Dancing With Tears In My Eyes.
