Just a request, don't mind me!

This was ridiculously easy and pretty stupid to be posting in the first place. Lioness girl asked if I could convert the cloud hair for females and so I did. I'm only posting it here because what's the point in keeping in private? It was a simple checkbox job in S3PE, that's it. Some people don't have those skills though so what the heck...

If Joe from MS3B happens to see this I would appreciate it if you don't post this :)

 Yeah so teen to elder. Don't give me credit since JulieAlesha did all the work by converting the hair.

No more help needed :D

Go to bottom of page edited
A lot of you commented on the t-shirts my sims were wearing in my last update. I would like to post them but I'm having a really hard time reaching the mesh creator Sugichaco. She's has a very active blog and twitter account but the problem is that she speaks Japanese and I don't know a word of it (konichiwa?) If anyone happens to know Japanese you would be really helpful right now! Even if you don't I would appreciate the help, I can't leave a comment on her blog because it says I need a password which I assume means I need an account. I don't see anywhere to get an account :/ Bablefish isn't very good for these sort of things.... Also maybe it's possible I missed an email address somewhere? If you found that it would be great :)

I left her a message on twitter but I don't think she can see it because she's not following me, I haven't used Twitter in a long time.... So basically if you're able to contact her somehow please let me know and tell me how to get in touch. If I'm unable to contact her I'll still release the shirts knowing I tried my honest best but I would like to release these on MTS too so permission is necessary.

Here's a tiny (literally... it's a GIF) preview of the shirts, 15 designs :)

Edit: All this waiting has given me a lot of time. I figured that since I love these shirts so much why not just make my own mesh? I have enough know-how to figure it out! Of course it is my first clothing mesh and so it's possible that something could go horribly wrong but at this point it seems like it's going smoothly... It turns out that Sugi's mesh was a pretty simple edit in the first place. With it being my own mesh I will be doing the teen and elder versions (hopefully...) if it's possible I'd love to do children too but I shouldn't get ahead of myself! Pregnancy version is also possible :)

Wish me luck and thank you Jillie for being the only one to help. I have a long weekend! I hope you're all bracing the frigid winter :)

Edit edit:  Mesh failed, better start simpler! Shirts with Sugi's mesh have been submitted to MTS :)

The octopus will eat your brains!!! O.o

I'm not sure who's worse, Peggy for making this hair or me who liked it enough to retexture it (key word = liked). Was I blind? Did I have a moment of serious brain loss? Did the baby octopuses attack me when I wasn't paying attention? I don't know the answer to that but I do know that I took the time to retexture this and I'm not going to keep the Peggy-Sue octopus epidemic to myself. 

I hope I made the few who like this hair happy... Oh and I gave the headband/thing a new texture so that's a tiny improvement right?

Conversion of Phobia's eyes

Over at GOS Booboo wished upon a star for these recolors of Sarha's eyes by Phobia to be converted. I've never converted eyes before but I did it anyway! I'm thinking that I'll be doing a lot more (like Shady's) so if you have any eye conversion conquests just shoot me! (please not literally -_-)

I'd like to defaults eventually but I failed that tutorial :P

All ages, M/F. Categorized as costume makeup, 3 color channels (main eye color, glare and an eye highlight thing to give it a little more variety)

Conversion Coming Soon

Woot Midterms are over! I've been working on this, here's a preview :)

My first fail at art.

I've been feeling really artsy lately. I was inspired by Anubis's portrait of his model Cindy (here) to do a similar thing. Using my toddler model Dawn as a guide I made this little picture! I'm not a good artist (and I'm not one of those people who say they are bad but actually do beautiful work XD)  even though I like art so I hope you enjoy this anyway... It's pretty much my first time doing anything digital.

It has its flaws (lots) and really doesn't look so great. I'm still satisfied with how it came out though.... Completely hand (mouse?) drawn by me :) The face went well but the body needs a lot of help. Made in GIMP.

Raon 20 Retexture, Fix, Age Conversion

Hello everybody! It feels like I've been updating a lot! I got bored working on my speech today (GAAH!!! I HATE SPEECHES!) and so I picked up this hair. I'm really surprised that no one's done anything to it before now. I basically did everything to it :P here's the list:

- All Lods now present (Raon did 2)
- Proper mesh comments
- Lightened Raon's freakish dark mesh
- Retextured (obviously)
- For elders (Raon has some odd passion about not checking the 'elder' box)
- Reduced file size (from 2,590kb to 749kb)
- Age converted for children and toddlers

Didn't I say I did almost everything? The only thing I couldn't do unfortunately is fix some alpha issues on the swoopy part, they're not very noticeable in the game.

Poly Count: 5262 for High Quality and 2964 for Low

Baby it's bad out there...

Actually it's not too bad outside... go figure. As the holiday season winds down Peggy released this really cute hat hair, perfect to go with sweaters, jackets and crackling fires. The forehead is humongous but surprisingly I still like it. I think this retexture came out really well and I hope you like it too :)

For some reason I'm unable to download the child/toddler version, I will update this whenever it is fixed. (updated)

H&M Strapless Top Conversion

This has been sitting on my computer for quite a while now, I was hesitant about uploading a while ago and I never did. I set up a thread on the CFF but with mid-terms coming up and the whirlwind of school that will happen after break it's either release it now or lose interest/never upload. I still think it's a really cute top and that's why I'm uploading it now :)

It's a conversion of a top (that was paired with caprices) from TS2. Teens - Adults

This is the original Sims 2 top if you were wondering
