Some of my Simblr friends have done this and I’d like to as well!

Please make a request, I’d love a little inspiration. ;)

- Hair re-texturing and coloring

- Hair alpha edits

- Object recolors

- Sims

- Be my guinea pig as I learn to re-color clothes :P

Well, if you do ask us to, perhaps you can make some object recolours with patterns from my COLOURlovers favourites folder (choose what you like). I liked your recent seatings a lot, but if you want to make something else, I'm fine with that.

[zerographic]

Just had a look at your folder. You've got some great stuff in there!

You don't have anything in particular you'd like re-done?

[skywookiee]

I like the chair and sofa you used for "Distant Origin" sets, and Decorative House armoire. Actually, more wardrobes sounds like a good idea.

Your first look at the armoires. That white strip around the drawers will soon be gone and the repeating squares will not be so prominent (though it is an unavoidable mesh issue.

I assume you wanted the patterns as the inset. If not, I have some tile textures I can experiment with as well. Or a mixture?

[skywookiee]

That one is lovely, and I would also like to know what you have in mind with tiles, so the mixture is very welcome.

Please see my updated journal for Part 1! :)

Would you be willing to Pooklet the old Kadaj hair from Simcribbling? I love how your hairs turn out and think this old mesh might be salvageable.

Sooo. I gave this hair a shot. This hair has 14 files per age group. That's an absolutely outrageous number so you need to not only love this bad boy, you gotta want its emo babies. ;D

Check it out here:

Egads! It looks great, holy pants that's a lot of files. Is there any way to reduce that? If not, I'd be willing to do the rest of the colors myself

[zerographic]

I don't think there is. Each texture file is a layer of hair. It's a very simple looking hair, but they took the most painful way possible to get there. LOL

Are you sure you wouldn't mind doing the rest of the colors?

[astridattack]

Oh, old hair meshes. *eye roll*
And I'd be happy to do the colors. That's the simple part.

[zerographic]

Here's the Louis (SimScribbling) hair. Let me know if you want the original texture. :)

Awesome! I'll see if I can do it this weekend. Thank you so much for doing the textures.

[gigi_3]

I don't know nothing about meshes, recolors etc, so I don't know if this is too much to ask... or if it can be done :/ but I'll ask you anyway :).

Lilith made a gorgeous retexture of B-fly Sims Female Hair 45 http://lilith-sims.livejournal.com/15713.html . She made it in all Pooklet's (v2) + Io's + her own "Eva" colors. I thought such a cute hairstyle was perfect for little girls, but sadly their mesh doesn't include those ages groups.

A few weeks ago Pinket has enabled and converted the hair mesh for kids and toddlers http://pinketamine.dreamwidth.org/75077.html , but the bad news is that the mesh fix won't work with previous recolors :(.

This week Lilith has released her own Eva color's actions http://lilith-sims.livejournal.com/17814.html , and I wish to have the child and toddler retextures that are missing to complete the set. Do you think is possible to make only those age groups in Pinket's fixed mesh using all all the colors of Lilith's original post? Or the fixed mesh overrides the original one and the only solution is to "remake" all the colors again in the new mesh?

Gahhh! I'm so in love with that hair....

:/

[zerographic]

I'll be honest. That would require re-doing the texture and re-doing all the coloring using Pinket's new mesh. The loss of texture quality and time involved from trying to use the pre-made colors of Lilith's would be big.

I regret to say I can't take this on right now.

[gigi_3]

I thought you couldn't, but thanks anyway for taking the time to read it and for your reply :).

[curiousb]

I have a request. :)

I'm not sure whether this would interest you or not, but I'd really like an updated retexture of Violet Placebo's 'Dark Troubador' hair; there's a picture and a link for Simbic's version here: http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=24362.0.

Any version of Pooklet's textures would be great, or maybe a blend with Nymphy's curls might be interesting? Even if you could just make one colour (Volatile), I'd be immensely grateful, as I could then do the rest myself. (Sorry, I still haven't really sussed hair retexturing myself!)

I understand if it doesn't grab you, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. ;)

[curiousb]

I was very rude and forgot to say please, so I shall add it here: please! :D

[zerographic]

I shall make a re-texturer of you yet! Or maybe I won't there's quite a few everything gets re-done too quick. ;)

That is a really cool looking hair! I'll have a look at it!

[curiousb]

Yay - thanks! :D

I must confess, that's one reason why I have not really made learning how to retexture a priority - there are already so many people who are so good at it!

[zerographic]

OK, girlie. Check this out. Remember how I said that Libitina hair was the easiest thing in the world? That really doesn't apply to this hair. LOL. The toughest part is the swatch that hangs over the top and down the sides.

Tell me what you think. The original is on the right obviously. They go with the alt scene look but I really don't like them. ;) So the left is an alternative. The bangs can be anywhere between these two extremes.

[curiousb]

Damn, you're fast! ;D

Oh, that's really cute with the curly pig-taily bits! I agree that the fringe on the original is a bit too short - maybe we could go with something in between that and the one on the left, just to maybe tidy it up a bit?

[zerographic]

OK! See what you think now. I went midway on the bangs and made them less piece-y. And it's on a Sim for a better look.

[curiousb]

I love it, especially with the mix of straight and curly bits, and I think the fringe looks just right! Thanks so much! :D

[zerographic]

I assume you already have the hair mesh so this download is the actual project folder. You should be able to put it into projects and start using it right away. :)

Thank you so much, my dear! I think this one deserves some neons, and maybe some gradients too. :D

The Great Aussie Bathroom

[edluver01]

The Great Aussie Bathroom set is my favorite set of all time but I was never able to find recolors of this set ever. Is there anyway you could make some recolors of this set?

I know you probably aren't taking requests anymore but....

[takeme2wonderland]

I thought I'd ask anyway. I really adore your recolors of the bedroom set that came with Bon Voyage and I was wondering if you could make the TV that came with BV match the bed/nightstand/dresser? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all the great items you've made for the game!
