That's right, you're also up further north than me-- getting lots of sun for a while yet, huh? I was surprised how easy the polka dot plant was. All I did was water it and away it went, outgrowing two pots inside a couple of months and happily shedding seeds everywhere.
Dude, I know how that goes. "I'll just sit down and do X. Man I am so bored with X, I need to look at something else for just a little while... *completes Y and Z, epic projects in their own right* *looks over at X* ... Ooops." I lost my groove on the Male Long Hair because... well, after a certain point, I just couldn't stand to look at it anymore, and now I've forgotten what the hell I was doing. I'll start fresh in a month or five weeks. I know more sneaky tricks now.
Yeah, I just re-did Tiggerpum's elf braid hair TWICE-- first because I damn well wasn't going to save twenty textures plus elders for each age, second because if you have twenty-five textures, WHY would you have EIGHTEEN different alphas? Dude seriously for real now. Took that down to one alpha, reduced the file size by 90% before compressing. I still backed out the textures-- made templates and a donor file in Body Shop, then swapped the textures with SimPE. If something's got... more than four textures per age and five or six ages or more than ten textures per age and ANY number of ages, that's my tactic from now on. It's faster.
There was never any excuse for neck gaps, but I do realize that the giant heads are considered more attractive (mostly cos they look younger) in some cultures.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, because... well, mostly because the world needs more long hair for men-- more hair for men in general, really. (The Extra Body Shampoo hairs don't work for me as well, because I'm trying to avoid hairs that look like they need product to work. It's frustrating. When I ever get back to my Alien Invasion game, man. Anything goes. Totally anything.)
