Unammed Outfit now has 4 Pieces (but technically 2)

I spend some of my free time to finally work on the Corset, my first official top peice that is not a 2 Piece or a Skirt.  This top is made with ALOT of vertices in doing so I give it that more harder material look. This can be accomplished in many ways but for me I find subsurfing my mesh a couple levels tends to do wonders at making the mesh look thicker and sometimes it even helps to formulate more of a realistic look to the outfits.

I am liking where this outfit is going, it is coming along pretty good actually, I originally was making a tie in the back of the Corset but ran out of space to use Vertices (Blender thing) I was going to go for a more rounded look (well learning that still :)) but decided that it actually works better to have a thicker string due to Vert limits of blender. This outfit is getting close to alpha stages, I am testing it and I will try to upload a little treat with this outfit soon.  So keep checking back, as I mentioned I may be bust (for 7 more weeks) but it does not mean I am not going to put some time into modding.

Now for the character, this character is one of my first few made. I made her before I started modding, it is funny the thing that got me into modding was the desire to make one of Speedbusters lovely mods have a specific variant for the character I was using at the time (Ayame).
Despite me still learning how to work with textures and stuff check these pics out.

That's right my first mod was a TEXTURE, I was playing with my folder way back when it actually started when someone uploaded the ANB Micro Bikini for the DMRA body (very popular body) but they ONLY had the red bikini fitted, so I figured out about NifSkope and then decided to make the other tops and bottoms match (there was an issue where the top was actually not DMRA or something besides the red) then I go excited and started playing with folders and thought maybe I can make this sexy bikini my own texture. BAM I did and then we had the Ayame panties. This will probably not be the last time you see this texture. I will use it again.

This is one thing I hate to say, I have lots of love for all the great modders but sometimes in order to make the most of your game you have two options, find a modder who is nice, kind and that is willing to make mods for you, or spend countless hours modding yourself. I sometimes wish I had that someone to make mods for me but in the end I like this learning process. I also do not mind being that person for others permitting they are asking for work I do (Sui Cup and BTRA). Also the Femboy concept is still on the Table, I do have a request about it but I will see what the proposal is for that so stay tuned fans of The Femboy body type.



Also small note, many people seem scared to PM me about my work; I just wanted to let you guys know that I have an open door policy, please do not fear to message me if you have something you want to ask me that I specialize in. Granted I can sound a little rough at times (blame me sometimes forgetting to proof read and I kind of type the first thing I think) I always mean well for everyone, and wish for a fun and drama free mod and playing of mods with the modding communities and players. I am also pretty shy IRL, so just keep that in mind that I am not some kind of social guru X_X. Anyway just a little about me hope it's OK

Thanks
-HS :D

Maybe this comming week if time permits I will either make leggings or shoes, or accessories (like hate/gloves) not sure yet but we will see.

More on the unnamed Mod/ Friends work / Slow moments :(

Hey there everone!
I just wanted to take a few moments to show what I have worked up with time I spared today.
I also wanted to come up and let you guys know before I even start posting this, that because of college MAJOR classes my modding my be slow for the next two months, I will let you guys know more if it will take longer after, but for the time being mod time is literally any free time I can make besides spending time with the family. So if posting is slow please bare with me. Though I will try my best to keep up as well as keep my grade up with College X_X.

Now that that's said. I actually posted this the Other day when playing with Gerra6's Tool Bone Weight Copy 2.3, I recommend his tools because they are VERY useful for noobs and pro's alike. I feel Gerra6 is a modder who wants the Oblivion Modding community to keep breathing and stay strong and to allow newer modders like myself to stand a chance to make mods we like (and maybe others too)

When I first saw it it was rough, but today I decided I wanted to do a little more work on it. So I hit blender just touched up the mesh a little bit then I was doing some tentative add ones to the skirt. What I was going to do was I was going to make a belt to go with the skirt but decided that it is a 50/50 chance it will make it to official alpha because it is just not looking right with what I had so far. So I put a pause to it and just put it in the 2nd layer of the scene, so if I want I can continue the belt later on.

 With the skirt touched up I also decided to change the texture to add pin strip theme to it, I think it will look sexy with the Idea I have, this is NOT the last time you will see pin stripes. Sometimes they can be very sexy on a women and give her that slightly dangerous look.  Here are Some Screens

Also another note, These races (after Sumiko) they are custom races and availible for download on LoversLab. They are called the Elementals from The Chronicles Of Noah the race mod was made by Kimict and they are actually very good looking races (Please note I did not use all of them)
The mod itself is located right below
The Elementals

Please show your support to Kimict, he put alot of time and effort into this mod and it was well worth the price of admission.

Also keep your eyes on my blog too, just cause I have a busy college Semester does not mean I will stop modding, I will try my best to keep up a steady work flow. I figure if I work extra hard Monday-Friday, I might have time on the weekends. Besides I need to make the Corset (which will be optional from the bra) Also note the version of the skirt used here is lower/under body version. In official Alpha I will just do Tail Version which will still work. Just keep in mind Races with Tails may not be so friendly with my mods until I figure away around it.

Rough Frill Ballet Dress

So I took time and Decided on the bottom for the next working mod. I am not sure how soon I will releases this since I really need to get back into "The Big Project" but I will be releasing this set with a set of high heels (the lingerie in the last two postings) and pair of stockings (not sure the height but most likely not full to eliminate complications). The stockings and Panties might be a Set and in other cases not. This mod is going to be a mod with a Few Variants. I am thinking all will be individual (for combination purposes) then I will have the Shoes with Stockings, Skirt with Stocking, Skirt with Panties, Panties with Bra, Corset with Bra, Corset without corset, Gloves will be on their own if I decide to make them, and if I make a necklace they will be alone too and combined with corset.
I think if I do this in like an (IE: HSFrillsBot01 HSFrillsTop01) This would be probably the whole set so like bottom with panties and Top with Bra etc. so it would be the whole set in 3-4 pieces, I will do this to make it easier to have the player chose and I also do ofc nothing under one variant so the pervs who want to go nude under the skirt can too.

Please note the skirt is horrible looking cause it's not near completion. Hence the see through 

The skirt itself is on the VERY short side, this is intentional and will not be available in a long variant (atm) for this mod. It is a rough make as can be noticed, this was my practice making a "Ruffled" look. Eventually I have to make a Japanese School Girl outfit, what's a modder if they never make one of those right? Though I debate if I will go Traditional or do my Anime touch to it. Maybe one day I will upload some of my concept drawings. They not all to whine home to mom about but it kind of shows my vision of a female body. Maybe I will show my Main Character to show the body I will eventually make. Though I debate because since I like two body types will I make 2 Bodies? or will I make one and use Either Suicup or BTRA for one of the two genders. This is something I will think carefully. But we will cross that bridge when the time comes. I will more then likely have a vote on that (don't worry that is probably a loong loong while away) I am personally satisfied with the two body types but like Speedbuster does, I want to eventually make my own bodies and do them for specific outfits. I think what she does is very creative and I am highly inspired by her work. Besides my desire to make games one day, my obsession with her work keeps me motivated. She always does GREAT work it would be my honor to share that level of skill and detail. One day maybe :).

Bra for uknown outfit & a little mod info.

I finally made another bra, I am still working on a good method to make Bra's. I will be honest the quality of this bra is not so great but you can definitely see the effort I put into it. When making the bra I had several issues, I had to redo the texture. Another issue I notice that the transparency tends to lose it's effect on darker skin :(. Which is kind of sad because darker skinned women can be very sexy.

I am going to try not to be lazy and use different panties and bra's for most sets. But in some cases I might use the same and put in a few modders resources. At this time I have someone who is trying to teach me how to make amazing textures. But we will see how that will go. The Suicup Body is a little rough on bra making because the body itself only has very close breast. because of this it can be difficult to design, I was planning on putting a blossom or bow in the middle of the breasts but decided against it because it is a simple Bra for the most part. When it comes to this Bra, I am either planning on using different Texture Variants in the future for another mod, (probably the Classy Bikini Set) But not sure yet. It is still something I am debating on how that will work. I might make better looking panties and work from there. I think I have an Idea. I must say that I like lingerie so it is a MUST that it is included in each mod. Though for a future Jeans mod it may not happen.

Also random notation, my main mod type IS in fact skimpy and girly, it would be very rare you see me make a manly looking outfit though I do have one planned. I sometimes get request to convert "Bulky/Vanilla" Oblivion clothing, I warn I do look and consider all request but I could not stand Vanilla Oblivion, body nor clothing so the chances of me actually working on mods to keep them the same is very low. I said it before and I will again I do plan 2.5 Original Clothing/Armor overhauls, and I think I might push up a future mod that is armor do to high demand. I am also debating on making clothing with Armor Properties since other players probably are not death/ragdoll fans as I am.

Working on Something new

I spent quite sometime perfecting these panties. It is the first time I tried a new method and tbh I think I am starting to feel comfortable, this pair of panties is another Tanga style cut. It is available in all Variants. It is actually the start of another custom mod. I am yet to decide what it will be though I have a few general ideas. For all my mods (clothing ones particularly) will contain undergarments so I will start with the panties then work on the bra (if it is needed) then I will work on the outfit itself.

Here I experimented with a Lace texture and also made several parts to the Panties. The Panties consist of Semi Transparent Lace, Lycra on the sides and the Bottom (Realistically Panties are not transparent underneath) and the String which just used a basic black coloring. I might put a little more onto the string though not fully sure though.

Mod Permissions

This has been a topic that seems to have been trending when it comes to my work lately (at least my first one) It seems the Christmas Set I made has had a much better reception then even I expected. I had low expectations so I am happy that many have liked it.

Because of this I have noted that many have asked to convert to other games/ body types and stuff.
So I want to talk about permissions.

For the time being I do plan to make an official notepad of the Rules and for each mod. Sadly it may be strange but for the most part I will make rules depending on situation. The rules below should always be considered mostly over other rules because these are the rules that are Safest and can easily over rule other rule sets mentioend in the notepad (which will eventually be linked with a posting of any updated rules)

 When it comes to my general permissions I make these rules because there is a lacking of them.

The General rule of thumb is not to use any of my work (Except the SMBTRA, BDM, Suicup and SMSuicup bodies, as those are open domain)  without permission from me. You can do what you want so long as it is not publicly distributed. Now if you plan on public releases I ask you PM me either here, on LoversLab or Nexus on your planned usage for the mod. I know it might sound silly but I kind of have my rules on it. Keep in mind many of my mods (ATM since I am still learning) are still works in progress and I prefer to perfect them before I allow users to "change" them.

If I do approve of usage, I just ask to be created where ever appropriately and not to be insulted, many times I see Converters/Modders fix up on another modders original work and they make statements such as "Fixing up HappySparkles horrible cutting of the string" etc stuff like that does not deserve the right to use the originators work, so if I do approve (let alone other modders) try to respect the time and effort they put into their work.

My main thing for the mean time is just Ask me before you use it. You can do work on it if you'd like and show me pictures in your proposals. Pictures do sell me well ;).


Lastly,  (For mods that are open to discussion) Exceptions exist.
 Anyone who contributes (helps me) on SPECIFIC mods can use the mod how they please so long as it is them using it and they refer others to me for permissions and ofc credit me. Those whose MAJOR resources I use Like the Body have also 100% free permissions.  If you fall under this category I will let you know during our transaction how that would work.

Thanks
