Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates. School has started for me and the workload just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Currently, classes are suspended because of the A(H1N1) flu outbreak thus the update.

I haven't been playing a lot of Sims 2, honestly. I tried out the Sims 3 the week it came out and I don't think it sucks as much as some people say it does. I actually like it. I'm a very visual person so all the beautiful scenery is a nice touch. And I love the traits system! And the Create-a-Style tool IS ABSOLUTELY HEAVEN-SENT! I can spend hours and hours designing a home, making sure everything matches or goes with one another. I think it's wonderful! :)

Though one hang-up on Sims 3 is that my graphics card really can't handle all the anti-aliasing. To have nice smooth graphics, I have to max out all the graphics options, which slows down the gameplay alot. The picture above is one I took on a medium-setting and heavily photoshopped to make it all appear smooth and soft.

I have no idea what to make as far as CC goes since it's been a while since I've last done this. I'm open for suggestions and all that. :) Fire away!

Hurray for these being done! I probably started these a million years ago but I refixed (yes, refixed, meaning for the 8th time) the mesh and subsequently the mapping and subsequently, the texture and alpha and sajdklsdj these puppies are finally USABLE!  So these are the EA Store Asian Fusion kimono dress mesh with the Club Crimsyn Nekkid boots.

Some BASIC INFO: 8 colors, 3 are the original Maxis extracted and applied to this mesh and 5 recolors by yours truly. They're all in the huge preview below. Mesh included. All the holes (meaning the strips under the skirt, under the arm holes) are matched to the dress color. Sadly, they have no fat or pregnant morphs. These are for female adults and young adults.


Policy and Credit: Terms of Use located here. Resource post is currently a work-in-progress but is located here. Feel free to ask questions of any sort. Credit to Maxis, of course, Club Crimsyn, Jour, Ephemera, Pooklet, Azaya for the skintones used in the previews.

I found these on Yagi Sims and waited for the lovely people on SimsCave to find and upload them. Yagi Sims have a couple beautiful hybrid Peggy-New Sea meshes up and they're just waiting for a retexture. I used Nouk's textures on these since Pooklet's Vintage D's edits didn't work as well as I wanted to for this one.

Info: Binned, Familied, Compressorized with the Yagi Sims mesh included. 8 natural colors as shown below. They're named properly and have the appropriate tool tips. The elder file is attached to the Blonde, which is my custom, in case you want to take out certain colors.

Posting these here first because it's the easiest. These are XM Sims Flora #87 with Phobia's alpha edit because I love it so. I figured non-Maxis-Match people would like these without having to force the Neena_Needles textures on them so I retextured and shared. :)

Info: Binned, Familied, Compressorized with the mesh in 8 colors as shown below. They're named properly and have the appropriate tool tips. The elder file is attached to the Blonde, which is my custom, in case you want to take out certain colors.

I don't know which you prefer but I'm not a big fan of heart clips on my hair meshes. Here's Peggy's latest free hair without the said heart clips! These were impossible to alpha edit out so I cracked open Milkshape and deleted them.  As like before, these are retextured with Pooklet's edits of Vintage D's edits of Nouk's textures.

Info: Binned, Familied, Compressorized with the modified Peggy mesh included! 8 colors as shown below. They're named properly and have the appropriate tool tips. The elder file is attached to the Blonde, which is my custom, in case you want to take out certain colors.

IMPORTANT!: If you have the original Peggy mesh, this one will override the previous one. It's a replacement mesh. Therefore, this is a modified mesh that you must use for it to show up like I previewed. To be safe, take out the old mesh and use this one instead.

I bring new hair retextures! These are SAU Myos female mesh #15 retextured with Pooklet's edits of Vintage D's edits of Nouk's much loved textures. These were a hella lot tricky to mess with if you take account of all the waves and curls, and yes, I warp-tooled and blended each curl to close-to-perfection. And I believe it's paid off. I'm posting these exclusively at my dreamwidth account first so hop on over here, bookmark it or subscribe to me to keep up with the fastest updates.

Info: These are binned, familied, compressorized, tool-tipped and correctly named for your convenience. 8 colors as shown below. The mesh is included because SAU has been down since forever and it was a whole ordeal to locate the mesh initially.

My dreamwidth account.
I'll probably move there, more or less. Subscribe to me if you have one. I'm currently contemplating on exclusively posting downloads there.

A retexture as requested by somone at GOS. Not Maxis-Match but enjoy nevertheless. Speaking of GoS, the EA store edits I previewed a while back are ready for uploading. I just need to finish some last few kinks before I send them your way.

And they're done! Here are the dress edits I promised! These are my edits of Ghanima's edits of Sentate's Beach Sundress Mesh. Complicated, right? Anyway, all I really did was mangle with the hemline to make it a bit more appropriate. A couple of inches did the trick and it only took quite while because it was my first mesh edit. Here we go.


+ mesh & 9 colors included
+ with working fat and pregnant morphs
+ credit goes to Ghanima and Sentate for the original meshes
+ for FA only, base-game compatible

Georgie
 
Georgie's the result of me wanting to test out the animations of my edit of Ghanima's edit of Sentate's sundress mesh. It looks pretty good and Georgia is painfully adorable. She works the Chucks, oh yes she does. And incredibly I have plans for her. She likes collecting vinyl records and takes photographs of herself to post online in her weblog full of Chuck Palahniuk quotes and what not. Her brother Darryl's her best friend is into photography too. They're neighbors. :) Georgie's other best friend is probably her pet frog, Napoleon.

Check on all the details of the mesh edit HERE.
