As I need to jump around, as not to get bored, I have been back working on the priyatna top and bottom for teen female. The top presents a unique problem for both af and tf. I imagine that 99% of people use Cmar's nude top and nipple sliders. Making a top is easy... getting it to work with Cmar's sliders is another story! The af bottom has had another reboning. I may need to do the same for the tf, but do not know yet.

Good news, is that I may have finally managed to properly blend that pesky waist seam on the tf version. ))) As I have been using Cmar's top as my base, in order that the sliders work, I had inherited a bit of a seam issue. It looks as using MTK to transfer normals from my soft nipple bikini mesh worked, and now for a little more testing!!!

Honestly, I still see a very light seam transition, but I may be at my limits on getting it any better. Sooooooooooooo....................

wow reali nice

A few projects have been put on hold for a while to let my head clear after some setbacks, and will return to those eventually.

Part of the break has been spent enjoying a VN/ game. An interesting take on the Arthurian "Once and Future King" theme, which I look forward to udates... and eventual completion.

I have been recreating (more or less) several of the characters... Hair mash ups and a few garments. I wish I was able to "rip" from the game, but... oh well!

Also recently, I think I finally have succeeded in fixing that darned tf waist seam on the nude tops and bottoms! They are in what I hope is my final testing stage. Once completely satisfied, I will then take a look at doind something MaryJane (LL) had mentioned to me. She knows a bit more than just making great animations! https://maryjanesims3.tumblr.com/post/695271949827489792/pigtails-be-gone-for-real-this-time I recommend checking out her tumblr!

I think the tf bottom nude waist seam is fixed... finally! Thanks to MaryJane at LL. She uses MS, and s3oc, but something she mentioned about mesh internal flags led me to the answer I needed. Now a bit more testing... check, recheck and check again to be certain the seam is 100% fixed, and check bone stucture from many angles as possible.

Okay! A positive update! As many know, I am never really in a rush to upload anything. When I share things, I want them to be the best that I can do, at the time I upload. Heck, I have been "tweaking" my Priyatna nude meshes for... a while. 

So, a bit of bone weight "teaking", and a bit more mesh adjusting of the af and tf bottoms today. I honestly think tf is done. ))) I will be placing the latest version of af in my game in a bit, and see how it performs.

I will NOT hold up the af and tf tops and bottoms once ready. I feel confident that unless THIS laptop dies, before Christmas! Hey! Not making some rush deadline now!!! Since it's a 5 or 6 yo Lenovo that cost less than $300 US... so will probably run fine until the Apocolypse and beyond.

Anyway, for those who have woohooing elder Sims, I have started on an ef bottom nude Priyatna. Have not looked at nude top as yet. As I wrap up the af and tf, I will work more on that. Took a break from it after the first run, as I will need to spend some time on morphs, and do not wish to get sidetracked.

I'm looking forward to you to reupload all your creations! That's art and cannot be lost! 

Well, the delay in my nude set is that the pregnant morph for teen female looked like crap on a stick! To get things to work with Cmar's sliders, I reused her morphs (among other things). Made my own morphs and adjusted them, then Cmar's nipple sliders stopped working. Took a LONG break from that headache. Did manage to final a couple of packages and upload those. A few more that are in that test in game, adjust bone weights because of clipping, look at, adjust mesh, look at, adjust morphs... rinse and repeat... vodka Martini... rinse and repeat... 

I have gone back to trying to get my morphs to work, but during small breaks have also been giving Bridgeport an updated makeover. 

The Cook family...

Looks like a bit of tension there!!! And after Lady Cook got another face lift, tummy tuck, botox lips and a boob job!!! I guess butt implants are on the horizon???

Still working on that tf nude top prebnant morph. Just not sure why it does what it does. Opened the morphs in Blender 10 times, and adjusted mesh bones several. Another test now... gotta knock up some random teen girl. OY!!!

Better news... I am in what I hope is final testing of several open bottom skirts... a few are of the "VERY" mini type. )))

I also think that I have had another major break thru of an old project... I already uploaded the MedBod-a-Go-Go as outfit, because I simple couldn't get the waist seams fixed on seaparate top and bottom. Well, always learning and trying new things, and I may have solved THAT particular issue! Currently have a few MedBod pieces in test. Wish me luck!!!

Figured I should give an update to anyone that may care... So, the af and tf nude top and bottom that I wanted to upload for Christmas ran into a snag. Still not sure what the heck happened, but am currently testing versions that are working in my game. To clarify, for some reason, the tf non-default top simply did not apply. Thumnail was present, but clicking it made no change to the tf top. Walked away due to frustration. Went back, not too long ago, and several repackings later, all is working as it should. Hopefully, I will be satisfied with everything soon.

Extended testing of new open bottom dresses and skirts revealed some nasty clipping issues. I have spent a bit of time reboning and testing. Again, hopefully, I will be satisfied enough with at least a few, to upload soon.

During the dress/ skirt projects, I slid sideways into a couple of other things. I have been testing some open bottom, default replacement garments, tops, bottoms and outfits. One hold up is that EA uses the same texture images for tf thru ef. Open bottom skirts and dresses reqquire moving the UV mapping, and replacing texture images to match the new UV. This means that anything that IS tf thru ef, the UV mapping of all 3 MUST match... in ALL 3 Lods. Sorry, but not doing open for ef... I am however, matching the UV. Another time consumer is that I have been adding pregnant morphs to tf and af garments as I do them, and making adjustments to all Lods.

Default tops... Or... "Gee, it's a bit nipp(le)y in here" tops... I am not making any major changes to default tops, other than to add soft nipple to several as default replacements, as I am avoiding the whole UV mapping thing, and the textures from the basegame or EP will be used directly from your game files. Any EP defaults will be keyed to that EP, so they will only show up, if you have the EP.

Into The Future... That EP has some of the most hideous fashion I have evr seen! Although I have only completely replaced a couple of garments, others have been shortened, and it's also apparently a bit chilly in the future. ))) 

Always the optimist, I hope to have SOMETHING done soon... Thanks for hanging in there with me!

I apologize in advance for my English, I am writing to you with the help of a translator)
I really like your work, your plumbots are always in my game, and your anime otaku costumes are very high quality I would like to know if it is possible to download your version of the maid outfit, it looks very good on the screenshots. And I can’t find working links to it anywhere, poor Google has already been burned to holes by me. If you have any personal issues with this suit that you don't want to delve into, you can ignore my question.

First, NEVER apologize to me that English is not your first language!  

And thank you. There are many of my older pieces that I have not uploaded here as yet. I began updating the Lolita Maid (original by Lemonleaf), but had some issues with the bonnet. I am converting it to hatgrip accy, which allows resizing and moving it, so it will fit more hair styles. I have also improved other things, which I intend to do to the maid outfit. I also have a new maid outfit that I have been working on, and trying to make into a default replacement. I cannot really say when I will finish anything at this point, as life is filling much of my time these days.

Been quite busy, for quite some time... life... As such, I have been quite neglectful of getting things uploaded, but then again, I kind of always have been. Along with default replacement female NPC's that will work with Denton47's versions of Kinky World, which has a gender switch for some NPC's, I have been working on a few default replacements projects. One being, "The beatification of the future". The project includes garments, and some hairs. It is noted that the replacements do NOT work on the ITF mannequins in the ITF store. Still trying to sort that out, but will make this note in the uploads, which should begin soon. I will also be uploading default garments from basegame, and other EP's. Two things... You will have to have the EP's for the defaults to work, and I did not make basegame conversions for EP garments. I may, and may not find time to do that, but if anyone else wishes to convert them, feel free. I ask that you post your work here, on NSFW, and NEVER on LL. There are reasons I left there, and removed my content from that site. If you need help converting, just ask.  I am really not that much of a bitch. 

Another thing I saw while surreptitiously perusing THAT SITE, was a question about nude body and texture seams. As I am "banned" by the hesheit, I tend to fly below the radar when there, and generally will not post. But, if Glottis is on NSFW, or for anyone else, the full answer is... It is completely possible, with skins customized to the mesh, like the ones by @JoshQ. His remake skins are texture seam blended in Blender, to match the EA mesh seams. Other skins, including EA, will most likely show texture seams, and there is nothing to do about it. I may release my skins, if I am ever happy with my nude meshes. Sorry that I never got them uploaded. I hope to be testing the pregnant morphs in my game again, soon.

You make it sound more elegant than it really was I loaded a full body, then I converted the skin to PNG and attached it to the mesh and used the 'soften' brush over the seams on the 'texture paint' workspace, Blender did the rest. The same should be possible to make on Phothoshop (hopefully they tweaked their 3d interface to make it easier to use). This should be possible with any other skin

Well, I do not know about elegant, but it works, and looks good! One day, I may go back and finish blending the neck seams of the skins I did, using your guidance. They developed a very slight texture seam when I added a slight texture to simulate smal skin variations.

I imagine it can be done to any skin, even EA Barbie, but the question on LL was, "Is it possible", which it is... with some effort. Um... I'm sort of banned from LL (not that a little thing like that could stop me), so I really don't bother helping anyone there.
