The Most Special Are The Most Lonely (Cazy Viola Moose'd)

I have school to do today, so I'll be brief. I saw this on Cazy's naver like 6 months ago, and I'm glad I have it now because its really pretty. That's all. Also this is an alpha edit because of reasons, but its not a huge deal, I just wanted longer, cleaner bangs. You can hate it if you want.

This style is based on Regina Spektor's new song All The Rowboats, which I think is fantastic. Listen to it, its bootiful.

This hairstyle is 9,659 polygons in LOD0, and 5,012 in LOD1. Hopefully everyone should be able to run it, its a fantastic hair. 
*This hair is available for females of all ages except babies because that would be stupid. By babies I don't mean toddlers, I mean actual babies. This hair is default replacement, because TSRW threw a fit, so I just stuck my textures into Cazy's files, and now the in-game thumbnails look all screwed because she screwed with them because she hates retexturers. But it works, so yeah. You can only have one version.*
This hairstyle is compatible with breast sliders and fat morphs. 



DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this, I didn't fix this, I just retextured this. I can only take credit for the textures, IF that. 

If you like my work, like me on facebook. You can also comment, because comments make me smile, and you also have the option to subscribe to my blog.

God I Pity The Violins,

P.S. (In purple): Please let me know if you have any issues so I can fix them, because I care.

Feel free to use my retextures for whatever you want, but please don't reupload. The ONLY exception to the no reupload rule is that you may bundle with a sim, but you have to link back to my blog. Please don't claim as your own or try to steal my textures.

It Didn't Have To Be This Way (Cazy Lilith Moose'd)

Hey guys, I know its been a while, but finals are coming up, and although I have a bunch of crazy stuff in the works for all of you, all I can really afford to give you guys right now is a simple retexture of Cazy's Lilith hairstyle. Speaking of retexturing, I found something scary in Cazy's texture. A message. It read as follows.

stalker stalker stalker
hey you! i live in the texture!

no easter egg here! go away

there's a ghost behind you!!!
creepy creepy creepy......

When I first read it, it gave me the chills to be honest. I'm not gonna lie, I was not comfortable with it being there. I feel like that was the reason that I haven't seen any retextures of this style around the community. Which is weird within itself because typically people jump on new stuff and retexture it within hours. But anyway, I hope you like this retexture, because if Cazy really does have access to ghosts, it may very well be my last. But it gave me an idea. Maybe from now on, I'll start including easter eggs in my retextures for funsies!

Anyway, the title for this hair is inspired by Sleigh Bells' song End of the Line

This hairstyle is 11,089 polygons in LOD0, and 5,217 polygons in LOD1. A lot of people will be able to run it, but unfortunately some of you won't, my condolences. 
*This hairstyle is enabled for females of all ages, and the adult version is non-default. The child version, however, is not. The child version threw a fit in TSRW, so it is default replacement, meaning that there can only be one. But you can have as many adult version as you want.*
This hairstyle is compatible with breast and fat sliders.



DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this. I did not make the morphs, the only contribution I made to this version is my texture set. 

If you like what I do, like my facebook page, comment on this post, or subscribe to my blogger.

P.S.(ITS PINK): Please let me know if you have any issues with this retexture so I can fix it. 

Go ahead and use this retexture for any picture taking or machinima needs you may have. You may not reupload this elsewhere, but you may bundle it with a sim, but in that case you must link back to my blog. Please don't claim 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.
