3D EYELASHES THAT:
❌ don’t “float,” don’t stick to hair, don’t respond to any incorrect face sliders;
✅ hold a smooth shape with any presets, fit snugly against the eyelids, don’t ripple, and yes, they’re so big that they could send you into space 😅 (don’t judge too harshly, it’s just a texture drawn in 5 minutes to demonstrate the mesh)!
Let me share a bit of history. When you see that eyelashes from various creators ripple due to sliders, hair, or other factors, or sit slightly away from the eyelids, creating a “floating” effect, it’s not because the creator didn’t want to make them work perfectly or just decided to leave them as is. It’s because the eyelid area on a sim’s mesh is incredibly complex, and it’s almost impossible to create a properly functioning eyelash mesh in the standard way (the way we usually make any meshes).
But I refused to accept this and set out to find a way to make the placement of the eyelash mesh on a sim’s face depend solely on the eyelids. And I managed to do it! I’m genuinely so happy and feel a huge sense of relief because, honestly, last week, I had almost given up hope that I could pull this off, haha.
As I mentioned, the eyelash version you see in the picture is just a test. I’m planning to create a variety of eyelash options: big and small, more realistic and Maxis Match, for all genders and age groups. Of course, not everything at once, but... Well, you can expect the first set of eyelashes very soon! 🩷
