Shining Nikki to TS3 - Rosebud Dreams

yes I thought a lot if I named it like that or if I'd use the set name

This one is the hair from the set that celebrates the 2nd anniversary of Shining Nikki's global server. It is SO CUTE, it has a rose-shaped bun, and the moment I saw it on SN I knew I needed it on TS3 ^^

More pics and some rambling about the converting process under the cut.

ROSES IN A UPDO. THAT'S IT. And I just noticed it after I ripped it for conversion!!

The control got pretty decent too!

Now, the rambling:

These last days I've been struggling with some hair conversions, mostly with the damned transparency issues. Initially i thought that a SN hair with fewer groups* = a hair that will have very minimal issues. The previous hairs I converted (nikki's and netga) had less than 5 groups, and therefore almost imperceptible issues. But one of the difficult hairs I tried to convert had like 3 groups and BOY, IT WAS A STRUGGLE and I sort of gave up. I guess that in the end you have to be lucky with the mesh that you pic, or have extra patience/skills to get rid of these damn issues.

*Shining Nikki meshes are separated by groups instead of being everything in one single group like The Sims. If you want to know more about converting thing from SN, check my tutorial!

Shining Nikki to TS3 - Nikki's Hair

It's the OG dress-up queen hair! Because I went on making Nikki on CAS and thought that any other CC hair had the right look for her.

Known issues and control preview under the cut.

Known Issues: there’s some small transparency issues (one you can even see in the preview above), and also the bone assignment isn't the best (this was fixed in feb/24!), so in some extreme poses it may clip. Also clipping issues with puffier clothes since I didn't want to make if floaty. And also, no morphs 😬

And once again the control aren't perfect 😬😬
