Monthly Patreon Mods M03 Preview (Patreon)

Hello hello, I'm here with a preview of this month's Sweet Pickles mods! I've got two new hairs and a hat this month, with each hair having an alternate version (or two) to work under the hat! The hat versions of the hairs seen above are modeled by our favorite sports/workout/body-building enthusiast, Kana Pierce, from Love by the Water! If you'd like to download these mods they're available here as part of my Sweet Pickles tier :)

I've been meaning to make a proper hair/hat combo since I started this Patreon, so sorry it's taken me so long! I've made a few hat hairs before this set, but I'm finally happy enough with how they look now to release a set as a paid mod. You should see how many times I've re-iterated on just one of the hairs for something as seemingly simple as a hair that works under a hat. I still have to make them separate hairs for now, but in the future I do aim to have them built as blendshapes directly into the base hair so you don't have to futz around with multiple hairs (if it's possible at least).

As always, the hairs are available in the back/bangs/side hair slots, are broken up into multiple toggleable/colorable sections, and have dynamic bones. Hair M03a has one alternate version (forwards cap) and hair M03b has two (forwards and backwards). The baseball cap also has an alternate version (backwards) since I had to adjust the mesh slightly. The backwards version allows you to just load it in already fitted to the hair in the right configuration rather than make you adjust it manually to fit the hat onto the hair at the right angle. Here are a couple previews of how everything looks!

Before anyone asks, the ponytail had to be adjusted lower for the hat version of the hair since it really didn't make sense to have a ponytail sticking out of the back of the hat that high up. I had to adjust the hole in the back of the hat quite a bit just to fit the lower ponytail but I think it looks pretty good! This is also why I had to make a separate mod for the backwards version of the hat, since I didn't like how big the hole was when the ponytail version of the hat was backwards.

Below is a visual breakdown of the different sections of the hairs/hat and they are all colorable/toggleable in Material Editor. Everything has it's own material so you can make whatever crazy combo you feel like.

I've tested the cap alternative hairs with different hats available in HS2 and they do for the most part work okay with a few adjustments but ideally you would just use the hats I made with the hairs as they are tailor-made to fit together. Please keep in mind that the alternate versions of the hairs are specific to the foward/backwards cap as shown in the thumbnails. The regular baseball cap works with both cap versions of the hairs but the backwards one only works with the backwards cap version of M03b. Hoping everything is named clearly enough, but let me know if any of it is confusing. See below for what to look for in HS2 for the hair/hat mods.

Anyway, I think that's it for the mod preview! I hope you like these mods, please show me if you use them! They're perfect for sporty summer renders but also fun, casual outfits too! I hope these are versatile enough to use all the time with the characters you create. If you want to buy these mods, you can do so here as part of my Sweet Pickles tier. Thank you, byeeeeeee!
