Thanks @carversims for the conversion, and to @anzuchansims for the age conversion!
Texture by Pooklet, EA control by Anubis, custom bumpmap.
Available for both genders, all ages.
Not valid for random.
Polycount: 17k and reduced to 12k! And you can have them at the same time to compare them etc. IMO the difference is minimal, but heres a comparison picture between them.
hiii! I wanted to ask if you had any favourite/ general low poly cc creators you recommend?? I’m not looking for anything in particular just more creator options because I feel like I’ve scoured the whole internet at this point and can’t seem to find very many or the ones I do don’t exist anymore! Thank you in advance ❣️
Hi anon!
I’d be happy to share some lower poly cc sources with you.
Below is a list of some of my main sources for gameplay friendly hair, plus notes for finding other stuff (clothing, build/buy).
For the purposes of this list, I’m defining “gameplay friendly hair” as hair that is 15k or under—this is my personal preference, and it’s totally cool if others’ definitions are different from mine. I really hope no one takes offence. There’s a lot of absolutely stunning stuff out there, and everyone has different preferences, computer specs, etc. :)
Here are some ideas to start with (this list isn’t comprehensive; I've cherrypicked hair from alllll over the place):
Hair:
Ageiha (Livejournal blog)
Ade-Darma at TSR. You’ll want to check the “Notes” tab, then check what’s listed for the highest polycount—you can do this with other creators on TSR too, I just happen to have quite a few Ade-Darma hairs.
Agnelid has a tag dedicated to hair with reduced polycounts
Bellakenobi has a lot of gameplay friendly hair (and clothes!)
Buckley has a bunch of retextured and fixed up EA hairs over at MTS, as well other gameplay-friendly hairs and clothing under their downloads tag
Carversims has a low polycount tag for hairs that are 15k or less.
Elitisims has some great options (just check the polycounts for each download).
Lalasimmer has some fantastic hairs, including a few lower poly options to check out (and personally for gameplay, I am willing to go a little higher—like 17-18k poly—for good Black/POC hair).
Melsts3cc has a bunch of hair retextures and conversions, you can just scroll and find the lower poly ones.
Nectar-cellar is one of my favorite sources for gameplay friendly hair and clothing.
Nemiga-sims-archive Some of my favorite hairs are from here, you’ll just have to scroll and check the polycount on each post.
Poisonfireleafs has a lot of good options, again just scroll and check polycounts in the posts.
Recently I’ve been really enjoying the 4t3 clay hair conversions from ts3-rauh and lwillowlthewicked, which are low poly.
Clothing
There are too many fantastic options to list them all here, but a few sources off the top of my head to check out that have a lot of lower poly stuff include meochicc, simtanico, sweetdevil-sims, Bill Sims, elvgreen, suteflower, Rstarsims3, kotajose, and sim-songs. A good practice is to just make sure you’re checking the polycounts listed in the download posts since sometimes there are some higher ones (most creators/converters are really good about listing polycounts!)
Notes/Other
You can pretty much always assume that EA mesh edits/mashups are fine in terms of polycount, and Maxis match cc is usually low poly as well (so, I’d recommend browsing a Maxis match cc finds blog, such as Matchsim. That’s a great way to find more creators/converters who have gameplay friendly cc up for download).
Oh, and 4t3 EA conversions are usually low poly too, so another good option is to head over to xt3conversionfinds and browse by EP/SP.
For stuff from older creators, I highly recommend darkccfinds. You might have to personally check some of the polycounts yourself, but it’s a great resource if you’re looking for resurrected older cc that is otherwise lost/missing/has broken links, etc.
Simblr.cc's Dead-Site Repository is a good option as well in terms of finding older/missing stuff.
