It’s the first time I ever made a set of streaked recolours, so I hope you guys will like these. The hairs work for all ages and elders keep their awesome hair colours. The mesh is included, files are compressorized and I’ve fixed that funky thing Skysims meshes do, where the YA recolours are darker for no reason.
And here are a couple of swatches! I’ll post the set a bit later today, cause I still want to take proper preview pictures. Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the last preview pic I posted and sorry it took me so long to get the set done 😛
This is the first time I’ve ever tried making streaked recolours of a hair. Not sure about the results, though. I’m also taking suggestions for possible colour combinations. So… thoughts?
Kijiko Toyger Pookleted
I originally made this retexture for personal use, so this set is a bit different from my usual ones. I’ve used an odd mix of PS actions, mostly Pooklet’s, with some by Furbyq and one by Digitalangels. Here’s a swatch, so you can see what I’m talking about:
Why’s the third brown (Caim) darker than the second black (Shrapnel)? Because I suck and didn’t think things through. Also, I managed to get Wardrobe Wrangler to work on my laptop, so elders get to keep their hair colours, for a change. The mesh works for both genders and is, of course, included.
I’m not dead yet! Here are pics of a sparsely decorated bedroom as proof.
Sim download
Ariana Grande sim, as requested by rockkiegrande (with apologies for how long this took, but RL demanded a huge chunk of my time and attention). She’s packaged with the gradient hair recolour, which is binned as brown. Special thanks to those that offered me feedback on the sim, your suggestions helped me a lot!
She look sooo good! I would try giving her more eyelids, like, squint her eyes abit more and give her a cleaner cat eye eyeliner.
Good call on the eyelids! Squinting the eyes only makes it worse, unfortunately, but I’ll try to work around this. I’ve just downloaded a nice set of eyeshadows that just might do the trick! And the hair is just a placeholder, I plan on making an gradient recolour of Alesso Candle.
Wow *_* I think maybe her lips should be a tinch more plump!
Mmm… see, this is what’s throwing me off… I keep looking at her pics, and I think her lips really aren’t that plump, ‘cause if you look at the lower lip, the skin texture changes. You can even see a line between the inner 2/3 and the outer 1/3. On the other hand, I never wear any sort of makeup on my lips, so I’m not 100% sure.
Yesss… definitely dimples! IDK how I managed to miss those, thank you! 🙂
I haven’t forgotten about that Ariana Grande sim request! Man, this one is trickier than I thought it would be. 2 things threw me off: she wears quite a bit of make up, and she is still young, so pictures taken of her in different years have a lot of subtle differences.
Suggestions?
I found an old backup of one of my first neighbourhoods, basically a Pleasantview that I played back in 2007. Here’s what my game looked like, 7 years ago.
I was still using the ingame camera back in the day.
Who’s that Pokemon Sim? It’s badly made over Dina Caliente!
BF’s comment: “Is that the maid pissing on the tree to put out the fire?”
Cassandra Goth! She ended up marrying townie Benjamin Long (? the blonde pointy-nosed guy) and having 6 kids. All of them inherited his awful nose and jawline, thus making me regret I ever allowed him to breed.
One of the Pleasant sisters, being eaten by the back seat of some car.
One of Cassie’s daughters, returning home after an alien abduction.
And now, my simming obsession of 2007, Goth/Emo/??? Guys! Who all have the same face, because I had the creativity of a wet towel.
They all had different make-up, though, so they were totally unique and interesting. I never played one of them. They existed just so I can fawn over how flawless they were.
You don’t need all the SPs installed to use lots made with them, except M&G which is technically a mini-EP. The SP-content will just be missing but the lot will work.
That explains it! I tried to install a lot made with M&G without having the SP installed myself, and I encountered a freezing bug. I just assumed my game really hates lots made with any SP I don’t have. Thanks for the tip!
Aw, I dunno, I never had a lot of talent with building and decorating. But hey, I guess I won’t get any better if I don’t make an effort! And thank you, your comment really cheered me up! ❤
