I desperately needed this hair for one of my boys, so I converted it. I know there are quite a few other people who want it as well, so I'm sharing. However, there are a few minor issues with this hair mesh.
First, there's substantial clipping on fat sims. This is because, as far as I'm aware, the fat morph inner workings for hair haven't been worked out yet. I got a grand total of
one whole vertice to move with the fat morph, at the price of having all the other ones ever so slightly wrong. At any rate, this is what the clipping looks like in CAS:
Second, there's a slight line where the scalp and the face textures line up. This is only really noticeable on lighter textures, but I wanted to mention it anyway.
Finally, the very very bottom on the back can be a totally different color from the rest of the scalp if you have vastly different highlight/base/roots/tips colors. This is EA's fault, and I didn't notice it until I was ready to upload this. It's not too distracting since the dreads cover most of it, but I'm still going to see about fixing it in the next couple of days. Also, I completely failed to take a picture of it, even though I could have sworn I had.
Now, onto the good stuff!
It's available for both
Males and
Females, ages teen-elder. It animates every bit as smoothly as Nouk's original (I just basically translated her original TS2 bone assignments over to TS3), has all LOD files, and the file has been compressorized.
All credit goes to Nouk for the original mesh and textures. So slip into the skin that I know you feel safe in, and make up all the games that hide your little soul in vain.
(Please let me know if you experience any issues with this. It works perfectly in my game, but after the problems people have/are having with the other conversion I did, I'm a bit nervous...)
