  1. I downloaded almost every retexture of Lotus, but in game they appear gloosy and plastic :S Is it because of the settings for my game?

  2. Beautiful textures Lotus. You are fantastic.

  3. Aphrodite doesn't even look better. I love Lotus' retextures, but that hair for some reason suited a "greasy" heavy-product-use texture more than a plain, tidy one.

    As for the one with the hat, would anyone be able to remove it? I'd love that hair without a hat.

  4. Anon, some of them look like that only in the CAS, it's something that happens with newsea's hairs usually, not sure why. But during normal gameplay they should look like in the previews. (I use the settings in the higher for sims and details.)

  5. ^ Agreed. A version without the hat would be much better, but then again, there is a hatless Sims 2 version of the hair at Flora's site, so I doubt it would be possible to make a hatless version as it would/might break Flora's TOU.

  6. oh and are the Newsea's original versions needed for all newsea hair retextures or to none or for some only?

  7. I've had that problem in the past too, Lotus. This may seem like a stupid question, but how bright is the Specular? :)

  11. Hey, Lotus, your retextures are beautiful, but could you also start doing adjust-shine alternatives like Anubis?

    I ask because I downloaded your retexture of Peggy's donation hair from this weekend and while the texture is beautiful, it doesn't have enough shine in it from the highlights. I'm creating a Sim from a real-life person and her hair has a lot of shine from the highlights and with your highlights it makes it seem as if her blonde hair actually is darker than it is. So I was wondering if you or Anubis or someone else could retexture that hair in the adjust-shine style? Perhaps using different textures, too if that would be better? I hate that I had to put Peggy's version in my game because her texture makes the ends look greenish...

  15. Shyne, not very brightI think, I set the lightning to -75%. :/

    About the adjust shine, I already said it before but will do again, I'm really really sorry but that's probably never giong to happen. Simply because I don't have time. I tried before, but this adjust-shine version takes a little longer for me to do each one. it would require me to go in game, check everything and go back in the works more than I already do and that's not viable for me right now. Also, I don't like this version at all and i'm never sure that it's good enough. So again, I'm really sorry!

    But it's not hard o fix, most of these hairs have the adjust-shine originally so you could just replace the control I use for the original one. Or you can always make your own control file, Bosie at GOS has a really easy to follow tutorial here: http://tinyurl.com/4vx8kkt

    Oh and annon, sorry if you don't like stupid faces. But it's my game and in /my/ game (not real life) I like stupid/cartoony faces.

    Thanks! I replaced the control in your file with Peggy's. Is that all I was supposed to do to achieve adjust-shine? I wanted to keep your texture since I didn't like the too dark roots on hers.

  18. ^yes, if you only want to change the control, the only file you need to replace is the control one (the one that is black with the red, blue and green colors)

  19. Definitely love it!

  20. I love stupid faces too lol BTW, I love what you've done with that XM Sims hair. I tried doing it myself and failed epically :)

  21. Love both of these! As always, you're awesome.

    Any chance you'll be retexturing XM Sims's newest hair, Lotus?

  22. I absolutley LOVE your xm sims retexture. it's the perfect thing to go with my sims look. i do have one problem though. the hat has lines where i can see through it. it looks like mostly at the seams/ where the different colored sections meet. is there any wya to fix that?
