New Mod: Body Hair Replacement (Luumia Edition)
🕑 Added 2022-08-10 14:39:09 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I had no hope that the introduced body hair would be any better than what modders used to create, but please just look at those ugly embarrassing pictures??? I can't play anymore. Can this be turned off or undone? What's that on the back? Butterfly, heart carpet or are those wings of an angel??? Sorry, I had to do something, otherwise I'll get eye cancer... This mod replaces the textures from the game with the textures from Luumia. I don't intend to steal someone else's work here, but the game's textures are sooo ugly. While I've spent a lot of time cutting and re-tuning Luumia's textures, I'm releasing this mod to everyone for free without Early Access because these textures don't belong to me!
I would also like to make important statements:
- Yes, I took some foreign textures and adjusted and modified them. I've used Luumia's textures, and he explicitly allows his textures to be used as a base (with attribution). What I do. If you don't like it, don't use the mod.
- I have unlocked auto apply for newly generated sims on body hair. Why else do you need this feature? But I've turned off extreme hair options for women (that is, no hair or only a little hair). If you don't like it, don't use the mod.
- I didn't convert all of Luumia's textures, just the minimum number needed for replacement. This mod is a replacement mod, I do not intend to use all available body hair textures! So please don't complain why I took so few textures and others didn't. EA offers very few options: three arm hair levels (light, medium, heavy), three leg hair levels, three back hair levels, and six combinations of chest and belly hair. This is too little. So I chose some textures, but of course they don't cover all national or genetic requirements. I used straight hair but not curly hair. Mixing different types (curly and straight) looks bad. Then the generated Sims will be even uglier than they are. If you don't like it, don't use the mod.
- I didn't use all 24 EA colors and just took the textures that Luumia already had. Who needs green body hair? So I've made my decisions that e.g. green headed Sims has blonde body hair etc. If you don't like it, don't use the mod.
- I didn't do the last third level of back hair because there are no good separate textures. And I'm not that good with graphics programs to clip it properly. So the last third level of hair is the same as the second. If you don't like it, you know...

I freely combined and adjusted some of the recorded textures.
And now... if you like this mod, feel free to say thank you! That was a lot of work, even if the textures were already there. Still cutting and changing the tuning with all those tags is hard work. I hope that at some point Luumia will convert all of its wonderful textures so that they will now work correctly in the new gameplay. So far I think my solution is acceptable.
P.S. After many hours of work I am now so annoyed that I regret that EA introduced body hair. Such a crap. I just hope that the talented artists make things right soon. Unfortunately, I'm not a graphic designer, but rather a programmer.
