HAIR Nº172 / WIP PHOTOS

This hair and accessories has already been released in early access for patrons, and it's scheduled to be free released on 24th September 2024 (in a total of three weeks following EA's police) on my site.

You can find it on www.candysims.com/all-items/lorena-hair or use the name of it on the search bar on the top right of the site.

For patrons, you can find it already available for download here. If it's not available for your tier in two or one week, it will be as usual.

This is a mesh edit of a recent hairstyle added to Sims 4's base game through their delivery system.

As shown in the photos, I've slightly reduced the volume and made it longer.
I enjoy creating accessories that complement the hair, but in this case, it turned out to be more challenging than expected—not because of my design choices, but due to the hair itself. However, I’m not one to give up on ideas I love.
Usually, creating an ombre accessory isn’t too stressful, as there’s typically more space between UV parts, which helps prevent the recolor accessories from appearing where they’re not supposed to be. However, this hair has UV parts that are very close together, making it much more difficult to create this type of accessory.
To solve this, I had to make small modifications to the hair's UV map. This wasn’t a huge change, but my initial goal was to avoid any changes at all so that the accessories would work perfectly with the unedited hair as well. The accessories are still usable with EA's original hair, but there are a few small spots where they don’t work perfectly. Fortunately, these are minimal and in less noticeable areas.

I’ll try to include photos of these spots on the original hair in the final post, along with a 360º GIF and thumbnails.

I've made two ombre accessories: the first version is higher than the second. You can use them together or separately—it’s up to you.

The release date will depend on finishing the last details and previews. As usual, it will be released once everything is done, which should only take a few days at most.

A reminder that it’s a wip, so a few things may change when finished.
All the photos except the first one are straight from CAS, without any HQ mods or edits (except for text).

For now, that’s all; I see you guys soon with the finished hair.
Love you all, XOXO.
