laugh at tragedies.

[jessi_dot]

Continuing in the vein of me re-editing edits of stuff I like, but wish was slightly different, I created an eye set based on Pooklet's recolors of Simrenity's eyes. I used Pooklet's recolors as my main eye set for quite a while, but never cared for the catchlights in Simrenity's original eyes. These eyes use edited catchlights from Rensim. The colors are mainly Pooklet's, but I have played with them a bit and created some of my own.

And finally, swatches of all the colors!

The default set, courtesy of the ever-fantastic Nilou, looks like this:

Jessi, the brown eyes are stunning!! Thanks. <3

[jessi_dot]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you like them - I'm so pleased with how nicely the browns turned out. Credit goes mostly to Pooklet for that. The only one that I made is the first brown, the really dark one.

I'm a complete sucker for Pooklet's Simrenity edits, so I just have to try these out too - I'm even tempted to give the defaults a whirl too. Thanks!

[jessi_dot]

Thank you! I love Pooklet's edits, too.

Whoa, I really adore these a lot more than the originals. The really sharp highlights were why I eventually took them out of my own game. Definitely downloading.

By the bye, did you save the PSD of these, and if so, would you be willing to share? I'd love to update some of my recolors, as a lot of the shades were based on character eye colors and need some updating. :]

[jessi_dot]

Yay, thanks! I'm glad you like them, especially, since they are mostly your work. :P

And I have a PSD saved with the pupil and some catchlights, and then a separate layer with more catchlights. I can also slap it onto one of the eye edits for you, so you can see how I layered them and then upload them for you.

I will do this shortly and send you a PM when I get a link.

Thanks much! I've been meaning for ages to do some more realistic hazels and such, but seeing as I don't even use the original set, there hasn't been a whole lot of point to it until now. :]

Awesome! Will keep my eyes open for it.

[jessi_dot]

Ha ha ha! I didn't have that set in my downloads, actually - just the alien eye, which I have loved for EVER. So I stole the catchlights and used them for this. After I read this comment, I went and looked up the Mayday eyes.

I'm so glad I could do exactly what you wanted without even knowing it. :D

These are pretty gorgeous Jessi! I already liked Pooklet's edit, but I must definitely try these too! Thank you for the eye set, and for more pretty sims to add to my townie pool!

[jessi_dot]

I love Pooklet's edit, too. They really are gorgeous eyes to begin with, just not PERFECT FOR ME. I'm sort of a picky bitch. :P

And you are very welcome. :D

Very beautiful, I like the range of shades you have.

[jessi_dot]

Thanks! Credit for that goes to Pooklet, really. They are just her recolors slapped with a new pupil / catchlights. But they are totally gorgeous, I do agree.

very beautiful and realistic eyes
thanks
