Used to Be One of The Rotten Ones, And I Liked You For That (Newsea Shero retextured)

So its been a long hard week, my computer has been broken for a long time, I've been ridiculously tired, and I made the mistake of starting this retexture before my final essay (due tomorrow). The thing that was supposed to be a 45 minute job became a 3 hour job, and then a 4 hour job, because I thought that I could convert it for males.
Even so, Lotus beat me to it, bless their soul, because this was a real bitch to do. And SOMEHOW, she managed to convert the fucker too, but she just enabled it; I did something completely different. Mine has a standalone male version, so no female version is required if you don't want it. Bam. I'm cool, and it only took 4 hours to figure out how to do it.

The song referenced in the title is incredible. It completely calmed me down as I was freaking out about the massive amount of dumbfuckery that has been my week so far, so it basically saved me. Thank you, Broken Social Scene. The Song is called Anthems For a Seventeen Year-Old Girl, and its one of my favorites.

Images? Okay! Adjust shine be on the left, and EA Control on the right. w00t. (Oh, new female model, also, I messed up a color (red) somehow, please bear with me):


Black:


Brown:


Red:


Blonde:


Control:


And preview of males, (just for kicks):



If you like what you see, go ahead and download, it would make me super stoked!

Please download only one set of files. I made that mistake during testing, which caused the hair to just not show up at all, which freaked me out (and added an extra hour to the process). Additionally, If you want the Adult male hair and the female toddler-elder, then use the ALL file, thats why its there, I'm trying to be nice here. 

To be clear, it is for all ages and sexes except male preschooler and male child (and babies of course, but that should be a given) I don't want to make more versions, I'm completely sick of this hair, I put too much work into it, I'm done. (For real, there are 10 files down there, please just be happy).

The files are sortof large, but no big, I guess; unzipped, you're going to have 70-90 megabytes of files, depending on the one you download, but keep in mind you'll only be sticking a maximum of 48 megabytes into your game. My files are large because I use and HQ modification, and it has to look purdy and stuff.

Disclaimer: I did not make this hair myself, I just fucked with the files, the originals can be found here, and they're by the super awesome super (asian? I'm making stuff up, its definitely bedtime) Newsea Duo. The only thing I can claim is my screwing with the files, and making a male version. And the male version doesn't require a female version. Its standalone, bitches. I'm really proud of myself. 


Please report any issues you may have, because I messed with files other than textures, which is way out of my (limited) range of expertise, please let me know.

Thank you for looking at my blog and supporting my work, all I ask is that you say nice things if you mean them, and consider clicking the ad from time to time, because that way, I get some form of compensation. OH! and don't be afraid to make a request, unless its for a brand new newsea hair, which I will most likely do immediately.

Thank you for dealing with my Goddamn Dirty mouth,
'moose.

So this is the part where I ask that you don't share my stuff without giving myself or Newsea credit. We both worked hard on this (at least I did) so the least you could do is link back to my blog. Please use my work for whatever you like, but pleasepleaseplease no paysites. For the love of god.  Have a nice day (night?)

They're Screaming At Us; We Don't Need Your Kind (Newsea Yuppie Retextured)

I was perusing the blogs, and I checked up on Ariz's Sims, and I found a wonderfully good looking sim called Garrett. I then realized that his hair, which is made by the wondeful Newsea Duo, and I decided that I wanted to retexture it. 

The title comes from an incredible song by Arcade Fire, and I freaking love it. The song basically describes the sentimentality of everyone who has ever been a teenager ever. So go ahead and take a listen to Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains), because I've had it on loop all day.

Oh, and also, you may notice an ad or two, but thats because I actually spend quite a substantial amount of time doing this, and it would be nice to be able to use something of what gets made in order to buy Generations, so I won't have to shell out the full price. So, if you'd like me to retexture the hair on your sims' toes, then please click on the ad, if you're feeling generous. 

So, as per the new system, Adjust-Shine will chill on the left, and EA's Controls will party on the right. 
Check it (zOMG MALE MODELS):

Brown:


Red:


Blonde:


Control:

So, if you like them, go ahead and download below, but only download ONE SET OF FILES I don't know what happens if you download both, and you can try, but chances are it won't be good. Also, if you want All of the hairs (toddler-elder) then use the ALL file. If you want to select, go ahead and do that. Please do not simply stick all of the files in your game. It won't work.

The files range from between 20-27 megabytes, and unzipped, they'll be about 40-something, but keep in mind that you'll only be putting a total of about 25 megabytes in your game as a maximum.

The files are available for males only, and they're available for toddlers, preschoolers, and teens-elders.

DISCLAIMER: I did not make this hair, I simply retextured it. It was made by the good folks over at Newsea, and can be found here. They're trying to make money too, but they're doing it wrong, if you NEEDNEEDNEED their version of this hair, you can find it on the booty.

Thank you for taking a look at my blog, keep in mind that I do not charge for my work, and the only thing I get in return is your praise, or money from google. So please do not hesitate to click an ad, give me some feedback, or make a request.

Oh hay thurr. If you're thinking about using my work, that'd be super-dee-duper, my only requirement is that you credit me and Newsea, because we both spent time working on this, and we both deserve the credit. I did my part by linking to them up there, if you're going to use our work, we expect you to do so as well. Please avoid paysites (or 'donation' sites) and have a nice day.

Devil Horns, Best Friends (Newsea BlueBird RETEXTURED) *Updated 5/14/11 for Children!*

So quite a few things have happened since my last post. My computer broke, for one, and is in the shop, otherwise, I'd have more goodies for all of y'all. I also remembered that I did not create the Beautiful blonde model from my previous posts but actually stole it from Ariz (please forgive me? I love your work!). So I just had her Sim screw one of mine, and I came out with my new blonde model, seen below. thats pretty much all thats happened aside from the fact that I have three essays to write, and I'd much rather do this.

Anyway, I loved this hair as soon as I saw it, and I HAD to retexture it. Luckily enough, a kind soul posted it, and I managed to get my nerdy little hands on it.

The title comes from a song I'm OBSESSED with right now. Its called Infinity Guitars by Sleigh Bells, and I fucking LOVE it.

As before, Adjust-Shine is on the left, and EA Control is on the Right:


Black:


Brown:


Red:


Blonde:


Control:

You like?

Please be smart and download only ONE set of files, because if you put both Adjust-Shine and Control in your game, I don't know what will happen, but you probably won't be happy, and then you'll bitch at me, and I'll be unhappy. See how that works? Please know your stuff. 

So screw making files smaller, the hair doesn't look as nice, the files are about 7-8 Megabytes. 

Right, now, the file is NOT available for kids, because it was taken from a sim on the exchange, and thats just messy business altogether, but I'll post it for kids when I have it. Deal? Deal.

DISCLAIMER: I did not make this hair. The wonderful folks over at Newsea made this lovely, and the original hair can be found here. You should probably pay for it or something. (Trololol)

Thanks for coming, and if you like my work, please let me know, because thats always lovely. 

Infinity guitars, go 'head!

Oh hai. I ask politely that you don't use my work without crediting me (and Newsea, for that matter), because if you don't credit me, or worse, claim it as your own, I'll be really sad. And then I'll find you. And hurt you. Also, don't post my stuff on paysites, or I'll be forced to injure you. Got it? Good.
