@aweeshie recently gave me the permission to upload my retexture of this hairstyle and I thank that Simblr. ^.^

This hairstyle that I retextured is a replacement of this hairstyle. So, OFB is required to use this defaulted hairstyle. It’s for teens to elders for females. I used my version of the original textures from Remi. I matched all the colors to how it is in the game. 

Credit goes to @aweeshie​ and Remi.

First off...I wanted to retexture this particular hairstyle with Remi’s maxis hair texture for some time. Theseredshoes was the one who made this replacement possible so credit goes to that person along with @remisims for the hair texture. I tried my best to match the colors to the how all of the natural hair colors are in the game. It’s for female children to elders only. Base game is required. Here’s the download below. Enjoy.

remisims “Maxis mapping is almost evil, hehe. These look wonderful!”

Thank you! ^.^

OK first I totally failed at replying to replies! Tumblr’s just as evil as whoever did the mapping at Maxis, eheh. I know I’m a bit OCD when it comes to UV map -- a healthy, logical UV map is a bit like a beautiful jigsaw, and I love when a mesh is cleverly mapped. I account for this when I look at other people’s maps, because, well, OCD, and I can’t be too harsh. But this? THIS?!? Why, Maxis?

Not only have they cut out the wood bit that’s behind the handles from the main area of the front doors, but they haven’t even overlapped the left and front sides properly. Which means I can’t get a proper ambient map for this area. Which means I have to clean it up manually, and sure, that’s not too difficult, but it’s also stupid and shouldn’t be necessary.

There’s also a mind-boggling overlap on top of the dresser that I’m sure they thought no one would notice. 

Anyway, I would remap it, but for that, I’d need to retopo the whole mesh (the triangulation, especially at the bottom, is quite bad and is also a source of artefacts which I could well live without). So manual (2D) clean-up it is.

More the pity, as the mesh itself is quite cute.

Remi, I tip my hat to you. I haven’t looked at Maxis’ hair, but I assume the mapping is even worse. I wonder if they thought people would only do flood-fill recolours, and didn’t expect them to actually know a thing or two about texturing 3D objects.
