These Friends of Ours, They Seem Pretend (Newsea Shepherd Moose'd)

Your first question may be why this took so long. It took much longer than expected, because while I was ready to post this a few days ago, I was at a friend's house and he suddenly told me about our plans to go be extras in a film being shot up in LA. I had never heard of these plans, and I literally got back today. So I mean, I didn't really have any opportunity to post this until now, so I'm sorry.

When I saw this I loved it for its simplicity. Another reason to love this hair is the polycount, because it is so low. That isn't sarcasm, the whole thing is just under 9,000 polys. My issue was the height of the whole thing, and the claw boobies and such and so forth. So I took it into Milkshape and shrank the top down so that it fit the head better, and then I redid all the bone assignments and VIOLA! it was perfect. Or so I thought. When I got it in game, I found a minor squiggle that I accidentally created in the mesh. You can see it here and here. I'm really sorry, but I played a very long time with it in game, and the squiggle didn't even bother me, and I couldn't get over how much better it was and how well it works in-game. Also, I am aware of the clipping. The clipping shown in the black image happened on that model because her ears were further back than is normal, so if your sims have weird ears, that is a problem, but not mine. The clipping in the brown and control images over the breasts is due to my addition of thin morphs. Most hairs only have base and fat morphs so that the hair works with all weight, but mine has thin morphs so thin sims don't have floating hair, but that means in certain ridiculous animated positions, clipping may occur because of the increase of closeness to the breasts. 

This hairstyle's title is based on lyrics from a song called No. 1 Against The Rush by Liars. Enjoy, its beautiful, and the music video is pretty nuts.

This hairstyle is 8,998 polygons in LOD0, and 3,421 polygons in LOD1. Everyone should be able to run it!

*This hairstyle is available for all ages, although only the fix is for teen-elder females, the child and toddler versions are exactly like Newsea's but don't have the accessory and were repacked with DABOOBS because they have no morphs anyway, and I have no desire to make them. *

This hairstyle is compatible with breast and fat sliders (also thin sliders).

DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh this. This was meshed by the lovely and talented Newsea. I only redid the bone assignments, added a thin morph, and replaced the original textures with mine.

Why Don't You Be The Artist and Make Me Out Of Clay (Cazy Lilo Moose'd)

So I'm going to make this quick because I have a massive hangover and I want to work on other hairs and go to sleep and lots of things.

I know I've already done this retexture, but there are two very good reasons why. The previous version was 25,389 polygons in LODs 0 and 1, this one is 12,162 polygons in LODs 0 and 1. While this means no morphs, it means more people can run it. Also, after having tried and very nearly failing miserably at reducing only 5,000 polygons, a 13,000 poly reduction is worthy of WORSHIP in my eyes. Cazy wins all the awards, she's amazingly talented, pay or not. Additionally, it fits the head better. Look (don't pay attention to the textures, that comes later, this is just so you can see the shape):

This hairstyle's name is based on Ellie Goulding's The Writer. You know the drill. Ellie is amazing.

This hairstyle is 12,162 polygons in LOD0 and LOD1. Some of you should be able to run it, and I hope you can, because I think it looks amazing.

*This hairstyle is only available for teen-elder females. Apparently Cazy did not want it for children and neither do I, to be honest. This hairstyle is non-default because of DABOOBS. I typically don't use DABOOBS, but I used it this time because this hair doesn't have any fat morphs.*

This hairstyle is ONLY compatible with breast sliders. Fat sliders will cause it to explode.

Fate Don't Fail Me Now (Peggy 885 Moose'd)

My summer has been better, I've been hanging out with friends much more often, and eating too much. It's very nice.

I saw this and everyone was freaking out about how beautiful it was, and while I completely agreed, I was also freaking out about how much of a nightmare the thing would be. I managed to get my hands on Peggy's version and it was approximately 11,500 polygons. I decided to wait for the Sims 2 version, because I couldn't fix the original due to its high polycount, so I knew I'd have to reconvert it as usual. After finally getting my hands on the Sims 2 version, I got it into milkshape and saw that without undersides the whole thing was approximately 7,800 polygons. That means that with undersides and no reductions the whole thing would turn out to be 15,600 polygons in total, which is INSANE. It turns out that Peggy must have done a bit of heavy reduction herself, and while she did a wonderful job, her version is not morph friendly. It also meant that I would have to do a RIDICULOUS amount of reduction, which can be messy. Also, I thought it was much too wide, so I played with it quite a bit. Long story short, I reduced the Sims 2 version (15,600 polys) down to about 10,000. There is breast slider compatibility and fat morphs work. Also, lurvely textures. Downsides include minor transparency issues, rough(er than usual) animations, and jagged textures in places. This hair will come down to personal preference, the bangs are lower and the sides are less voluminous. I think it looks edgier while more natural this way, but some might think otherwise. I know that Anubis is working on a fix if you don't like mine. Whether his version has morphs or not is up to him.


The hairstyle's name is inspired by an INCREDIBLE song from Metric's album that came out last week called Speed the Collapse. I've listened to the whole album more than 20 times since it came out, and it came out 9 days ago. I HIGHLY recommend it, Metric is just fantastic.

This hairstyle is 9,788 polygons in LOD0, and 6,097 polygons in LOD1 (which I believe to be an improvement over 11,533 polygons for LOD0 and LOD1). Most of you should be able to run it.

*This hairstyle is available for females of all ages, but the fixed version is only available for teen-elder, the younger versions are Peggy's version retextured and repackaged with DABOOBS (because her version had no morphs). The puffy peggy version suites toddlers better anyway in my opinion.*

This hairstyle has fat morph and breast slider compatibility.

DISCLAIMER: I did not mesh the original version, but I radically resized and edited the Sims 2 version and converted it. Then I made the bone assignments and the morphs and the textures. The basic shape is not mine, but everything else is. 

Facebook, tumblr, please comment or subscribe or like or follow, or anything you want. Or all four. that would be really nice too.
