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.

Wanna Give Your Heart A Break (SkySims 24 Moose'd)

So as I promised on my tumblr, I did put a lot of work into this hair mesh. Let me just say that this thing was a complete nightmare. I ended up fixing the dang thing on two separate occasions because the first one ended up looking too square, and TSR Workshop refused to accept the fact that I wanted to use thin morphs. All in all, I ended up tweaking and testing this in-game over a period of eight consecutive hours as I listened to my hip music and stewed in the fact that I haven't hung out with anyone this summer save for my mother. Not to knock my mother, I freaking love my mother. She and I went and saw a fantastic movie and got boba, it was great, but I want to hang out with my friends, who have either cancelled or been busy. Also I need a job.

Where was I? Oh yes, the hair. This hair originally had no morphs or breast slider compatibility at all, and the shape was grosser than gross. I wrestled with the mesh quite a bit, and ended up adding morphs and breast slider compatibility and making it fit the head and gave it some lovely shiny textures (and some matte ones for all of you EA purists). Long story short, I messed with the way it sits on the head, gave it some better textures, and added morphs and slider compatibility. I think that the mesh looks better, but that is arguable because I'm extremely biased as I spent a horrifying amount of time staring at this very mesh trying to make it not suck. Whether you want my version or any version of this at all is up to you, but hey, I think it looks really good, and I'm actually using it in one of my files, and I think its dang lovely. Downsides are the minor transparency issues (brown) and potentially the animation (red and control), but keep in mind that those are not poses meant for flattering hair animation whatsoever. Oh also, you can see where I REALLY wrestled with the mesh in the blonde image. There is a huge horrible jagged piece of mesh just above the shoulder.

This hairstyle's name is based on Give Your Heart A Break by Demi Lovato. What can I say? Those Disney Girls' producers know what they're doing. Its pretty great. Also, I love her voice.

Click to enlarge(just to be clear though, I don't take pictures that show off how great the hair is, I try to show the good and the bad in my previews so that people know what they're getting. The two versions animate very differently, and mine just happens to throw a slight fit at certain angles like MOST hairs. At least you know what you're putting in your game this way):

CATCH PHRASE!

This mesh is 7,898 polygons in LOD0, and 5,504 polygons in LOD1 (Some people might say that my version actually makes things worse, because the original LOD0 has an identical polycount, and the original LOD1 is about 2,000 polygons less, but I can explain. The original looked HORRIBLE in character menus, which is what LOD1 is used for, so I had to make it higher poly). Most everyone should be able to run it, claps for SkySims for making it so low poly, I'm actually very impressed. 

*This hairstyle is available for teen-elder females. I'm sorry, no child version. Its too ridiculous a hair, and I can't stand to look at this mesh in a meshing program for any longer.*

This hairstyle is compatible with fat morphs and breast sliders.

DISCLAIMER: I didn't mesh this. I DID convert it, make all the bone assignments, and make fat morphs AND thin morphs for all of you skinny girls and phat girls, and I gave it the textures that I made. SkySims made the original shape that this is based on, but without their work, this wouldn't have been possible (but had they worked harder, none of it would have been necessary).

This is my facebook, this is my tumblr, please follow me on either or both, or even here on blogger. Also, feel free to comment because comments make me feel happy. Or do all four, because that would be the best thing ever.
