Sims 3: Fun with default replacements

[strangetomato]

I think I've found an eye replacement that really speaks to me: this one by Rockermonkey at MATY. I've been playing around with different replacements (and anything is better than the completely flat default eyes), but these might stick around for a while. Don't you love how it's just one texture now and you can recolour it yourself in-game, to the exact hue you want? It's brilliant. Maybe even better than picking shoes to go with an outfit. You have no idea how many totally useable cc outfits I've passed on because of shoe choice. I'm serious about shoes.

Cute old geezer, isn't he?
 

I've also found these default replacements for the facial hair from Kitty Klan (shown above), which was something that was desperately needed. The default facial hair options were simply dreadful. It looked like iron filings glued to the sim's face. Granted, some guys actually have that, but it was a bit heavy-handed for what is essentially a cartoon face, don't you think?

As a sidenote, I'm still playing around with cc creation and some other things, but I'm working way too much these days. I have no idea when I'll have them ready to share. I hope everyone is having a nice summer!

That facial hair replacement is absolutely fantastic. *bookmarks for later* The "real" facial hair I can deal with, but the stubble looks like dirt. :( Aaand, I can't tell for sure, but do her sideburns lineup with the hairline? Because I will love her forever if this is so.

Lookin' super cute there, Ripp. <3

(If nothing else, I do love being able to recolor everything. No more passing up great meshes because the colors are gross! :D)

Those sideburns DO seem to line up! They definitely did NOT before. That's awesome.

I totally agree. I love how it's just meshes and patterns now. With any shoes I want! It eliminates so many minor hassles with cc, though it does take some time to actually customize things. I don't always bother, but I'd be great if I was doing a story.
