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 the contents of the main folder of SDM_TS3_Animehead_v5.zip in your overrides folder!

The BONUS DLC folder includes optional cosmetics not required for the head to work, but DO help a lot in making things look nice :p

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!
  • As of v3.5: Basegame eyebrows have been overridden to not look awful now!
• ORIGINAL MORPHS: 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!
• As of v5: lostEmotion, a default replacement port of Saruin's kokoro skin! This skin is made for the head and has minimal seaming as opposed to the stock skin overrides previously used.
• BONUS DLC, as of v2: 6 types of 3D eyebrows, under glasses in CAS! These are the same as the TS4 head's 3d eyebrows.
• BONUS DLC, as of v2: The GotchaGotcha eyes I use for TS4, converted as eye defaults for TS3! These are the eyes shown in the previews.
• BONUS DLC, v5: All the extra cosmetics have been merged! This includes topical details for noses and a mouth, pseudo-shading, heterochromia, an 'outline' accessory, and makeup to color the pupil, sclera, and inner mouth!

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?

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!
