This is a total overhaul of the head in the Sims 3 - an overhaul that makes sims stylized in an anime-like manner! Keep in mind that unlike the heads for TS4, these are an override! They will effect every sim in every save unless removed! Please read the disclaimers for other important notes!!

All you need to do is drop SDM_TS3_animehead_v2.package in your overrides folder! BONUS DLC.zip includes some extra CAS goodies for the head that may or may not be useful to you! BASE SIMS.zip includes 8 'base' sims, inspired by some common anime archetypes!

Contents overview -- ✦

  • The head meshes and sliders have all been overhauled! For every age and gender!
    • Basegame makeup and beards have also been overridden!
  • BONUS DLC: the 'original morphs' package file adds some NEW morphs specifically for the head! You will likely have to use a mod to increase your slider limit (like xcas or mastercontroller) to use these!
  • BONUS DLC: 6 types of 3D eyebrows, under glasses in CAS! These are the same as the TS4 head's 3d eyebrows.
  • BONUS DLC: The GotchaGotcha eyes I use for TS4, converted as eye defaults for TS3! These are the eyes shown in the previews.
  • BONUS DLC: Heterochromia, under earrings in CAS! Textured with the GotchaGotcha eye texture, but can take any exported eye texture if you open it in S3PE
  • BONUS DLC: Idola Deus, a non-default skin made with the head in mind, in a more sylized style! Comes in warm, neutral, and cool undertones - as well as vivid and pastel rainbow, and some unnatural tones based off my OCs that I'm too lazy to unmerge :P
  • BONUS DLC: Topical detail panel stuff! 4 nose types (freckles), as well as a (now revised) mouth line (mole)!

Additionally, there are 8 optional base sims if you'd like to use them as a jumping off point! All base sims require Idola Deus and the original morphs! /core/uploads/2025/02/03/2746c6b2-8e0f-4511-b2c3-22419e79428f.png

Important disclaimers -- ✦

  • THE HEADS WILL NOT RESULT IN A PERFECT ANIMU-FICATION OF PREMADES. Premade townie sims will more likely than not look kind of screwed up, and potentially require adjustments if you can't handle it. The head is more intended to be used with creation of your own sims suiting of the style.
  • TYPES OF CC THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THESE HEADS INCLUDE: ALL EYESHADOWS, ALL EYELINERS, ALL LIPSTICKS, potentially custom beards and skins, custom face presets/sliders.
  • These are higher poly than the vanilla heads! Lod0 is 6,379 tris across all parts, while lod1 is 3,155 tris.
  • Lod2 and Lod3 are effectively like PSX meshes in vanilla and are untouched by this override.
  • While I have not encountered any issues while using 'very high' sim detail, it may differ if your sim detail is lower! I have been able to sustain multiple 4+ hour play sessions while using the head though, if that's any reassurance.
  • I still haven't fixed the messed up looking eyeliner overrides yet. Sorry.
  • As of v2: The new mesh normals make the GUI icons for sims look kind of like flesh bulbs. I don't mind it myself, so... sorry?

Credits and gratitudes -- ✦

Lyralei, who's TSM>TS3 head was the core inspiration and who's packages were used for studying! Simplelife and Carversims, who's default replacements for makeup/facial hair were used as points of reference! Whiteglove, who helped a lot with testing and suggestions!
