Dragon Age - Death



Someone over on My Sims 3 Blog mentioned something about making a mohawk that wasn't falling over, and somehow that translated into me making the following set of hairs. Maybe it's just me, but there does seem to be a lack of 'non-mainstream' type clothing and hair for TS3...

At any rate, tonight I made 4.75 new hairs.



First up is an almost-straight conversion of the TS3 male mohawk for females. I really, really like the mesh for this, and simply fitted it to a female head and gave it a new texture (by the very-missed Liegen)..


Then, I thought 'Oh... it'd be nice to make this a bit shorter!' And so I did.


After that, I knew it had to be done for males as well.




Things started to get more involved after the straight conversion, and I took on creating a 'Chelsea' style for the girls. I hacked the hell out of a Raon mesh for this.

So what's the .75 hair all about? Well... apparently WesH's plugins still occasionally want to mess with me.



I'm going to attempt to recreate this entirely from scratch again tomorrow. It looks really good in milkshape.


And now for something completely different...

I'm also working on some new jeans for the boys in a cuffed style.









There's some baaaaaad uv mapping happening at the waist, but otherwise, I'm quite pleased with how these have turned out.

I love the Chelsea. And those jeans! They're fantastic. I can't wait. Btw it isn't just you. EA is no where near edgy enough to include off the beaten track items for sims and the custom content community, though growing, is still fairly small. Unfortunately, I have more ideas than I do meshing skills. Once I get beyond the slow start I find myself in I hope to dedicate an entire line to this genre alone. Thank Gawd for people like you who are both a source for those of us who love this look as well as an inspiration to those of us who hope to create. I would have lost interest in this game a long time had it not been for people like you who keep it fresh and interesting.

Aww! Thank you so much!

Yeah, there really aren't a whole lot of people making CC for this game yet, and those that do seem to have more of an 'every day' or even 'runway' style to them. It is a bit more involved to make CC for this game as compared to TS2, but it's not so complicated that it's not fun anymore. Just keep working at it, and I'm sure you'll be able to make stuff, too! We definitely need more people creating different styles. :D
