So in this post, I uploaded a replacement edit of the maxis Long Loose mesh. I just removed the dangle but I was really proud that I managed to successfully make a mesh edit! It was like something just clicked for me.

I spent the rest of the day fiddling around in milkshape, learning stuff and I realized I can finally fulfill my dream of doing Transgender bodyshapes but for the other gender (FTM for male sims, MTF for female sims) and I'm super excited to start this project! I will keep it off tumblr, though, to avoid a repeat of last year. And I might just keep it to historical/fantasy games and if I post it outside of my dreamwidth, it'd be on the keep where I know they'd be more respectful :)

I'm actually even getting somewhere with it- Right now I am working on the FTM mesh. I'm on testosterone (I think maybe for like, a year now?) so I figured it'd be easy for me to figure out how to make it look. I plan on maybe doing two versions, one with top and one without. I think when I make showerproof skins, the non-top/non-flat version will be the one it links too because I want to use these in my medieval game and I don't really think top surgery was a thing back then haha!

I'll have to ask my trans girl friends for tips on making the MTF version but it'll come soon too :)

Here's a little sneak peak!
