Sorry Peggy, Snooki called and she wants her bump-it back!

2010-09-11T19:53:15Z

This hair had such great potential, my theory is that Peggy's real name is Peggy-Sue and she lives in Texas which is why she's fond of such ginormous hair. I did my best but no texture can save this hair........

Thanks to: Anubis, Lili, AllaboutStyle, Subaxi, Lady Front Bum, and Lemon Leaf (And maybe some I forgot 0.0) for model stuffs

So..... I don't really like this hair, some people wanted it so I did it.... but it's not my taste, hopefully you'll like it :)

Thanks to: Poppy, AllaboutStyle, Anubis, Shady, Lemon Leaf, Jiao, Aikea, Anto, Savio, Peggy, EA, Subaxi, and Lady Front Bum for model stuff, for specifics ask me. Most are linked to the side (working on completing that!)

Tum's Anto 82 Retextured

2010-08-30T03:44:17Z

Hi guys! So it's my first upload from my new computer! It's great! I've been doing a LOT of work. Besides the fact that I have way less free time because of school I also have been working on moving! Within the coming week I will be closing this blog and moving officially over to my new one at blogger because I like Blogger better. I also have done TONS of model work, I have 3 new adult models and 2 others that were old ones that have been edited. They look a lot better, you'll see 4 of them in the screens here, this is a cute one for formal occasions (good for everyday too but I wanted them in formal for some reason :P) Hope you like!

Poly count is about 14k, kinda high.

Thanks Tum!

Happenings

2010-08-25T00:15:08Z

Wow so much to talk about! I have some good news..... and some bad news........

Good news first, I have gotten my new computer and guess what?? The bone tool works!!!!!! This means that I will be able to do a lot more conversions!

Now the bad news, obviously as you can see the bandwidth issues have not been worked out yet, the plan I had failed obviously so at this point it's either buy bandwidth or move EVERYTHING to a new host (don't wanna do that)

Now for more bad news, tomorrow I head back to school so I will have way less time to update. I 'm actually really excited for this year though, I'm entering high school which should be cool and I'm also taking some challenging classes (yes I am a nerd :D), I'm still pretty nervous though because I'm a bit of a procrastinator!

So it's a big time of change! I can't wait to see what comes of the future :)

Enjoy this picture

Peggy 4781 Child Conversion

2010-08-21T23:55:42Z

Okay so even though things are hectic (School starts Wednesday, house is still screwed from the lightning and the image problem) I still wanted to post one of the things I've been working on then forgot about XD Here is Nubie's Peggy 4781 Conversion for children I didn't do it for toddlers because I saw really early on that it just wouldn't work. About 7000 polys for HQ. Thanks Nubie! I LOVE this hair! And thanks Simcredible for the cute pattern

Anto/Anubis Flower Headband for Children

2010-08-19T03:28:03Z

This accessory is SO pretty! Anto's original was great and Anubis's conversion was amazing! I've been waiting patiently (no just kidding I was ripping my hair out impatiently) but I think nubie forgot to do it for the kiddies like he said he was going to :'(

It's under glasses, the poly count is about 4000 for HQ, all the LODs are assigned properly (the adult version had a slight mistake, he had LOD 2 where 1 should be and 1 where 3 should be)

You can find all the hairs at Anubis's blog except for the blond toddler's which you can find here.

Tum's 8k Sims 5 hair for Children & Toddlers

2010-08-18T19:48:34Z

This was on my big bucket list of "hairs that really should be for kids too", I've been offline for the last few days because my house was nearly struck by lightning and luckily it didn't actually hit it but it knocked out a lot of things like water, cable, phone, internet, and lot's of other stuff, and my TV was fried :'( I'm sad about that. Compared to what COULD of happened though we were very lucky and I am thankful :)

It's for males and females but I don't care for it on girls so I didn't take any pictures of them, maybe someone will want it though..... Thanks Tum!

Everybody Scream!

2010-08-16T03:40:51Z

Hey guys, I don't know what's up, I just haven't been in the mood for any hairs lately! I've been working at some other stuff and I have a few cool sets that I'm working on, I have a short attention span and I flit between projects a lot :P so anyway here's another painting set, sorry it's so small, I normally like to release big sets since the painting "market" is so competitive that you need big sets to stand out..... I found a couple (four to be exact) neat designs and so here you go, the weirdest part is that yesterday (after I finished it) I saw the Homer one in real life! talk about coincidences!

Foboarts Painting Set

2010-08-14T03:26:02Z

Have you ever seen Foboart's from deviants work? He is such an amazing artist and I love everything he's done. So I converted nearly every piece of his art (save a few that just didn't fit on the painting mesh I was using) for the Sims. They would be adorable in a nursery or kids room (most of them anyway). Please check out his original artwork here! (and sorry about the spelling mistake in the title -_-)

So it total that is 36 paintings all linked to a single mesh/slot

Because children swim also!!!

2010-07-30T03:08:55Z

Hi everyone! So... I don't know if anyone feels the same way but EA's clothing selection for children sucks! Especially for swimwear because we had like 2 choices of outfits for them, either shorts and a top which is a little odd and isn't really swimwear or a one piece which is alright but it was kinda ugly and I know that children do have a little bit more variety than that. So I converted that one cute bikini for adults to children and man was it tough! It took a long time but I think I got it to a point where it looks decent! I expect to get burned on it because it really isn't a style a child would wear, maybe for a preteen but yeah it's totally unrealistic, I just was desperate for a little variety... don't hate me for it! The top & bottom are seperate so you can mix & match, 2 channels a piece obviously, the designs shown are the presets.

Savio 12 Age Conversion - Requested

2010-07-26T18:28:19Z

Hi! This hair was requested, it was actually a very simple conversion! I think it came out pretty good... it's the retexture by me (Just check the post beneath this! ) Thanks to Savio of course! (Check below for more information) It's 12k polys. Oh and I'm doing a little site work, you probably notice that the theme is miles better than the last one, I also hope to have a banner, siggy and affiliate icon by the end of the day :)

Savio 12 Retexture

2010-07-25T03:24:42Z

Savio did another amazingly gorgeous and simple hair! Savio's textures aren't ridiculously bad but I have to say, Anubis has converted me, I am now a full believer in the "real highlights" thing, I still think that it looks horrible if you want real highlights that are totally different than your main hair color but I think that it is better than the other way.... Thanks Sav! And I hope you like my new model, I think she's udderly adorable! I've tried downloading a little more CC to use on my models as opposed to my previous stance of "no CC on models!", Lemon Leaf's makeup is wonderful but I've found that her contacts are extremely scary.... If you are wondering about anything the models have don't hesitate to ask :)

Poly Count: The polycount is high but not as bad as some others, it's about 12k
Credits: Cazy/Anto for the texture
Savio for the pretty hair

I will try doing it for children but I haven't even started yet so I don't know how it'll go, my last savio age conversion didn't go so well.....

Peggy 459 Retexture

2010-07-24T03:33:54Z

When I set out to retexture this recent Peggy hair I didn't know what to expect, it looked like a cute hair but the textures were very pixelated (even for peggy's standards!) however once I retextured it I was like WOW I really love this hair! I think that this hair is gorgeous and extremely sexy. It's classic and elegant. I think that it would be perfect if you were making a Little Bo Peep sim, all you would need is a bonnet! Oh and I got a new model too hope you like her :)

Taking requests

2010-07-23T22:27:57Z

Hi :) So I've been wanting to do requests for a little while and this is what I got, I'm not that good so I may not be able to everything you want, I'll try my best but if it turns out shitty then I don't want to release it.

My rules
- Age Conversions, Retextures, gender conversions & Fixes only
- I'll do my best for fixes
- Please request only 1 or 2 hairs at a time
- It may take me a while, if it is something that you need urgently then please let me know and I'll do my best
- For age conversions no accessories please
- Some hairs are just hard to get to look good, children heads are shaped differently than adults therefor hairs with no bangs (such as nouk's rockabilly hairstyle) are a challenge
- Sometimes long hairs can cause problems on toddlers
- Please be kind, I'm human and I'm far from perfect at this, I may not be able to do every single request

Raon 8 Age Conversion

2010-07-23T16:45:17Z

This hair is cute... just not on adults. The original was by Raon but I converted Anubis's Fix & Retexture I did it for Kids and toddlers but the toddler version annoyed the hell out of me! I think that the child version looks good but the toddler version just looks horrible to me! I know that it is WAY too big for their head and it floats insanely! If I made it any thinner then it overlapped the sims face a lot and I thought that that looked worse than the way it is now, it's simply hard to do an age conversion of some hairs, please don't bitch at me about it because I know it's bad, I just don't have the meshing skills to do a better job of it! The packages are seperate in the file so you can download just the child version, maybe somebody will have a use for the toddler version/not mind it's faults.... sorry :'(

Raon 39 Toddler Conversion

2010-07-12T20:05:11Z

This is one of my favorite hairs for men period. I use it all the time in my game, I never liked how Anubis skipped doing it for toddlers though, it's a reasonable style and he did it for kids so why skip the toddlers!?!

Polycount: This hair is very low poly (3000 or so) and you shouldn't have any problems using it

Savio 11 Child Conversion

2010-07-07T03:10:58Z

This hair constitutes a success and a failure. The success is that I found out that I can do age conversions of long hair without losing bone assignments! The failure is that I've found out that you can't convert long hair to toddlers without some major editing... I'm really disappointed that I couldn't get it fixed for toddlers but I still think that it looks great on children. I did two versions of this hair one of Savio's original and one of Anubis's retexture hopefully one of the versions will make you happy. I don't know which one I really like more because I like them both but on different models! (The blond with Anubis and the 2 others with Savio)

WARNING! This hair is EXTREMELY high poly (About 15k) use at your own risk!!!!!!!

Happy Almost 4th of July everybody! To help your sims celebrate I retextured Anubis's Argentine flag with the American one! It's under bracelets and works for male & female teen-elder. I took a lot more pictures than was needed to show off such a small flag but oh well XD

The stick is recolorable.

Raon 55 Retexture & Age Conversion

2010-07-01T21:10:57Z

Some people were asking for this and I thought it was a good idea also. You either really hate this hair or you love it, personally I'm somewhere in the middle, I think that it would work well if you used it on the correct sim (which none of my models are), so hopefully some of you have some unique sims out there that like this hair! This hair was a big pain to convert, it has so many jagged corners and edges that it was hard to tell in milkshake whether it was overlapping or if it was just the mesh! Also there are several versions out there Savios and Geldyths have alignment issues but Infusorians version fixed that so I converted her version. (Of course I did Savio's at first *facepalm*) thanks!

Polycount: 4946

Fly away Angel: Raon 22 Age Conversion

2010-06-30T22:22:25Z

Why is this called Fly away Angel? Well mainly just because I like to make up names... This is a cute hair for adults and I think it looks extremely cute on toddlers & children (Especially toddlers in my opinion). The original was converted by Tumtum. I think that this looks better than my previous conversion. I didn't retexture it because the textures weren't that bad to begin with, also this hair is extremely tough to texture!!

The poly count is sorta high at 11,180 it's not as bad as some hairs but if you have a dying computer be sure you know what it can handle poly wise. And because I know I will be questioned the blond kid's name is Max, I have no clue what he is so freaked out about XD

Raon 70 Age Conversion

2010-06-27T16:03:43Z

I'm one of those sim players that like continuity in my game. If you were to look at pictures of my sims from toddler to elder you would find that they basically all look a like! I rarely change the looks of them, in fact nearly every sim has a color pallet that they keep at all ages and every outfit XD does anyone else play like this? So it's a little annoying when children/toddlers get the shaft, it's not that hard to convert for children/toddlers so I don't know why more creators don't do it. It gives me something to do at least :D

Obviously this hair is for child & toddler little girls

I may actually end up retexturing this because I don't like Anubis's control maps, I didn't change it because I know that a lot of people like how Anubis does it and I wanted those people who do to have a complete set. It's funny how there can be such a difference of opinion over such a small thing.
