Mesh that makes sims look one-armed

[Dullahan]

So, I have been wanting to make a sim from One Piece, which is Red-Haired Shanks. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a mesh that makes a sim appear to have one arm. If this is possible, I would be very greatful if someone would make it for me! I have attached pictures of Shanks just to give you an idea...

I'm no mesher, and often sloppy recolorer, but I found something like that at MTS:http://www.modthesims.info/d/231080 it's not exactly 'armless' but definitely handless.

How can I say no to Shanks?

I can make the mesh for you, but there are some things out of my control. Although he'll look armless, he won't actually be without his left arm. You'll still be able to put accessories on it and animations that requires the left hand will be weird. If that's okay for you.

And I think he'll need a whole new wardrobe, don't you think? I personally don't want his arm growing back when he changes his clothes or takes a shower.

I'd be very appreciative if you'd make this.

And, yeah, I agree. That'd be odd. x]

[ugly_duck]

I haven't forgotten about this. I'll make it, just give a little more time, please.

[Dullahan]

It's fine, I figured it'd take a while. My only mesh took me over an hour, and it looks terrible. x]

I wanted to make the shirt like the one on the picture you've posted, but that's beyond my currently skills.

This is what I've got so far.





But I have this feeling that if isn't an open shirt, then it isn't something Shanks would wear.

What do you say?

[Dullahan]

I think it is still really great, even if it isn't open.

Hi!

I guess I'm getting close to the end. Although it's not identical, I like how the mesh turned out.



I'll post closer pictures later.

Do you have something in mind regarding the textures?

[Dullahan]

Dude, that is awesome!
What do you mean by texture? Like, the colors, or what?

[ugly_duck]

Hi!

Yes, by texture, I meant the colour. Unless you prefer something other than EA's textures.

Just an update to let you know that I've finished the mesh and two recolours. But I cannot test it in game right now because my game was crashing and I had to uninstall it. I will, however, re-install it again and test the mesh properly.

Meanwhile, would you mind testing it for me? I could see trough Bodyshop that the fat morph didn't explode, but I don't know if the pregnant morph is working. And I'm not sure if I had the bones assignments correctly.

[Dullahan]

I would be glad to test it. ^_^

[ugly_duck]

I've PMed you the file.

Please, let me know how it works.

[Dullahan]

Okay, I shall test it. :]
