A Cosmic Glow

It's been a hot minute, again, I know... but my husband and I moved into our new house, and since we did all the moving ourselves I was too exhausted to do anything other than zone out in front of YouTube when I wasn't packing or lugging shit down 3 flights of stairs. But now things have settled down and I've had time to recuperate, so look forward to more regular content from me (whether that's a good or a bad thing is entirely up to you).

I did have ideas for the last GoS theme and I was working on something but didn't want to rush to finish it, so that'll be coming soon. In the meantime, here's a hair retexture I've had done for a while and some assorted defaults!

UPDATE 12/15/23: LetoMills noticed a problem with the dress texture - I had forgotten to make the underskirt in the back the same color as the front. I've updated the files and provided an alternate version with their edited mesh from this post. I have not replaced the TF versions and EF custom versions as they are new meshes, the recolors would need to be redone and I no longer make clothing for ages I don't use (the textures are fixed though). Of course, feel free to do those and share them if you'd like.

This is inspired by Almighty Hat's and MidgeTheTree's matchmaker default replacements. I love the idea of the matchmaker as a witch, it's perfect for my game, but the outfits aren't my style and I hate 99% of Maxis hair. So I made my own version!



This replaces the matchmaker's outfit with Cynnix's EF conversion of Sherahbim's Heart of the Forest dress, and the hair with Marja's mashup of Nouk's Flow hair and the AL witch hat. Not sure if anyone else will like the colors I chose but oh well 😆 Both the dress & the hair are unhidden and can be found in the Nightlife section of the catalog. The EP7 (FreeTime) clones are also replaced with the same thing but I kept them hidden because I have no idea what they're for. The dress comes with repositoried AF & TF versions. The hair has a hatless state for all categories besides Everyday, Formal, & Outerwear and has also been made available for AF & TF. The hair textures are Nouk's original from Almighty Hat's recolors and comes in Pooklet's Mail Bomb for elders and Dynamite/Depth Charge/Volatile/Pyrotechnic for the other ages.



Polycounts - Dress: 3276 / Hair: 1916 / Hat: 1788 (I think the one for the hat includes both hat and hair since it's a single mesh?)
There are 3 files: one for just the dress, one for just the hair, and one for the two combined.

And because I'm obsessed with this dress, I also made more recolors.



There are 12, they're available for TF, AF, & EF and are categorized as Everyday & Formal. Recolor 01 is the one I used for the matchmaker, so if you use the default you can delete that one.

Coming in on the last day as usual... 😑 I've been working on a bunch of other things and wasn't sure I'd have much to contribute to this theme as I mainly play adults, but then I remembered I wanted to replace the AL social class outfits so my elder townies have nice things to wear. So here are default replacements for 4 EF outfits from AL, with custom versions & other ages for some of them.



efbodybohemian replaced with DeeDee & Episims' 4t2 conversion of Saurus's Sage Dress. I used one of the original recolors (the purple patchwork one) because I like it, the other 8 are my own recolors. I also did my recolors for AF & TF. Note that the default only replaces the EF boho outfit, I have a different one planned for the other ages. Everyday only, all morphs, 5245 polys.

efbodytiesweater replaced with DeeDee's 4t2 conversion of Sentate's Fiona Dress (original default by ello-sims). There were already plenty of recolors I liked so I chose 3 of them (making a small edit to the teal one to make the belt black instead of brown).  Everyday & Formal, all morphs, 4728 polys.

Merry Christmas! I have some gifts for you ;) I was going to post this yesterday but I wasn’t finished with everything yet and ran out of time :o

Rented-Space's 4t2 Dress Bridesmaid for TF, AF, & EF in 14 colors.

 

 

The first part of my 300 followers gift is some age "conversions" (I can't mesh, so it's basically copypasta, but hey, it's still clothing for other ages, right?)
