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!

But You Didn't Have To Cut Me Off (Newsea WakeUp Moose'd)

I have lots to do, so this will be quick-ish.

I thought this hair was too high, so I played with it a bit.

Title is based on Gotye's song, Somebody That I Used To Know. After listening to his album, I decided that I liked this song much better, but both are definitely worth a listen.

CATCH PHRASE!
This hair is 9156 polygons in lod0, and 4358 for lod1. (Let me explain my poly system. Green = Good, Yellow = Iffy for some, Orange = Use at your own risk, Red = Extremely high, not recommended for slowish computers. I hope that clears things up.)
WARNING: This hairstyle has its fair share of issues, and my fixing the textures and height is only fixing two of them. From certain angles, the hair disappears if you're looking into it (this can be seen in the brown image) this is Newsea's fault because they simply didn't mesh in that area, but if you look at it from the outside, you can't see it. Additionally, if you look closely at my version and Newsea's, you'll notice that there is some blurryness at the ends of the hair, but that is present in both versions, and is Newsea's fault.
*This is available for all ages, and won't replace Newsea's or any other version.*



Dislaimer: Textures are mine, the mesh is not, although I did edit it.

If you like what I do, you can comment and tell me how I did or how I can improve, subscribe to be notified when I make something new, or like my facebook page to be notified AS SOON an anything is posted.

So this is the end of the story-

P.S. (IN GREEEEN): If you have any issues with my retextures, please let me know, and I will fix them as soon as possible.
Feel free to use my retextures in previews without giving credit, but I do require credit if you bundle my files in a download. Please ask before using my meshfixes in retextures. Don't claim my stuff as yours, don't steal my textures, no paysites.

In The End Nothing Comes Easy (Cazy Steps Moose'd)

Hectic life is hectic, lets get down to business.

I really like this hair, and I've been waiting for a hatless version for a while, now. Of course, the textures aren't quite shiny enough for my tastes, so I HAD to retexture it.

Title is based on Pelican by The Maccabees. I really like this song, its definitely worth checking out. I post music with my retextures because its unique and because I've always had lots of trouble finding music and I thought I would help whichever random person happens to like music that I happen to like.

CATCH PHRASE!
This hairstyle is 10,830 polygons in high detail (lod0) in lod1, this hair is 4972 polygons, but its slightly fugly, so I'd recommend that you only use it if you can run it in high detail.
This hairstyle is only available for teen - elder females, I tried to convert it for kids, but I wasn't satisfied enough with it to share with all of you. Also, you can only have one version in your game. Sorry, I actually tried to make it non-default, but it just didn't work.


Disclaimer: Textures are mine, the mesh is not.

P.S.(In yellow agunn): If you have any issues at all with my work, please let me know, and I will fix them. 
Please no paysites or stealing of my textures; anything else goes. I require credit if you bundle a hair in a download or use a mesh edit of mine. Credit is always nice, though, so if you use my stuff, please feel free.

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.

Do what you like with my files, but no paysites, and don't take my textures. I require credit only if my files are bundled in a download, but if you take previews with my work in them, it would be REALLY nice if you credited me.
