Warning!!!     Before you download these meshes!!!!!!
PLZ, remove Blooms_TongueandPiercing_Mesh and Blooms_TongueandPiercing from your downloadfolder!!!! If you downloaded them earlier.(Recolors you did with these meshes also!!!!!)  To avoid possible problems..

These are new meshes and altho they wont conflict you can end up with 2 tongue's :P
I could not use the earlier files, im very sorry.
The auto reposition/scaling of the tongue to Male and Teens wasn't acceptable ;)
The tongue comes with
*2 Rings
*1 barbell
You can use bodyshop to choose wat you want in the tongue or dont want in it.
You can simply blackout the rings and/or barbell if you dont like them.
Use F3 and mouse key's to zoom into the mouth ;)
I included the uvmap but all templates are already on the files.
there are 4 meshes:
*Female Teen
*Male Teen
*Young Adult/Adult and ElderFemale use the same mesh and tongue
*Young Adult/Adult and ElderMale use the same mesh and tongue.
Mesh is included

Another update: friday June 29th  Made the tongue also appear when nude.

Oh my, I've never had a man surrender to me so easily...

*grabs BlooM by the hand and runs off with him to a quiet dark corner and hangs a do not disturb sign on the door*

Nice Job

Great Idea! This will fit right in nicely with my game:)

hey vet joh thx :D

This is such a great idea, I didn't realize that the Sims didn't have tongues. Also I'm so glad that you've made them for both genders. Thank you for your hard work.

BlooM, this is so cool.  Thanks for sharing.  :love1:

Thank you for this information. I have to remove the older one.
Thanks for updating.

Thanks for this! Its just great

Thank you for the fabulousness!

Thanks SOOO MUCH!! It looks so real!!

Love ya!:worship:

This is fantastic!  Thank you. and thank you LadyMystique for coming up with it.  I couldn't wait to get my dirty little paws on it and play with it in bodyshop.
Made a couple alpha edits and gave one of them a test drive in Pleasantville.

It worked great until I switched lots and the sim with the tongue edit got off the school bus for an after school visit.  Then this happened-

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g249/RoofMonkey/Sims/Evil%20Tongue/snapshot_b3563f4d_13998174.jpg)

It turned blue and would jump out of her mouth.
I couldn't have that.  I promptly tookl control of her and had her go to the nearest mirror where I unselected and reselected it.  That seemed to clear it up.

I know it's my fiddling around with it, but would you happen to know what might have caused it?

Hi Roof

Its not your fiddling arround with it ;)
There are few things that cause the blue flashing with accesoires.
Im not sure if you had the first version of the tongue installed?
It seems like it, because the blue tongue looks like the old mesh, not the one you edited.
If you remove a accesoire/outfit or the mesh that it needs to work from the game you end up with the default maxis outfit(the red one) but with accesoires the game hasn't a replacement so it wil still look for the accesoire or mesh  wich isn't there, resulting in the blue flashing remains of the deleted accesoire/mesh.
As soon as you remove your not excisting accesoire at the mirror the problem is solved.
All peeps who had installed the earlier version of the tongue will have this in their game, unless they removed the tongue from the sim before they deleted the accesoire/mesh. but nobody does that...me neither.
If you now put on your new tongue(as it is a new mesh) everything will work fine.
But save your game ;) as it will appear again next time if you dont.
Normally i let a new mesh(or update) overwrite the older one but the name was to confusing to go with the other meshes(t/ya/a/e)
If this didn;t solve your problem or wasn't the case i would like to know, because you also got the blue flashing if the recolor cant find the textures, and this can be caused by me if i didn't make a correct setup of the files, but i hardly can imagine as bodyshop will give you a error that it cant generate the files.

But like GP said, you will always be able to fix it at the mirror.

It's not the mesh.  I double checked and confirmed that had removed them when I downloaded the updated file.
The good news is I didn't have any problems with it today.
That bad news is it seems to be effecting some earings from RoseSims2 today.  
I think it may be a housekeeping issue on my end.

Im still puzzled bout accesoires....
Like with the nipplerings it seems i only can have 14 accesoires in the glasses category.
If i put them all together in my downloadfolder i lose some, and if i fix the ones that dont show ill lose another set.
I have the feeling bodyshop generates a number based on already excisting accesoires.
If i make 10 accesoires they all get a kinda apparance number in the collectionfile of the 3D ID reference file, like 001 to 010 but the collectionnumber itself stay's the same.
If others make also accesoires based on the affacevampireteeth or the glasses like i did their bodyshop will do the same numbering and if i put those in my downloadfolder we end up with a conflict.
If probs keep comming up ill try to renumber my accesoires to a higher number like 10001 to 10010 orso.
But im not sure if thats the prob, i think there's a limit of 14 custom accesoires in that section.
How many accesoires you have in your glasses section?
And the earrings are also in that section?

I've got a ton of them.
I've got finger nails, necklaces, earings, piercings (body & facial), jackets, coats, flashlights, fire axes, guns, swords, belts, loin cloths, teeth, claws, an attache case, hand bags and purses...
oh, and glasses.

I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and do some serious weeding.

Great job! :icon_smi:

I have had the problem that Roof Monkey has with the tongue. I had to change it in the mirror it was an adult male sim. I had made his base form in body shop then added him from the sim bin in CAS in game.

Ok so I may sound like an idiot, but.
Is it weird to think that it is not a problem with the mesh as much as the game, the blue accessory thing happens with other accessories to me also.  I would suspect that or my video card or drivers more than a mesh and recolor. Only thing is that the other older accessories worked before recent added EPs and patches and on my old computer. I am running all EPS all patched. All the help files I read over at MTS2 about the issue says there isn’t anything to fix it.

I thought you would like to know this.  I will make sure that the file is updated and check it next time in my game. I was planning on looking around in my game this afternoon.

i explained earlier why you getting the blue flashes, its when you remove a mesh or recolor.
If it happens with clothing you get the maxis replacement, the red and creme outfit, but there isn;t a replacement for accesoires.
Thats why the game keeps searching for the mesh or the missing textures resulting in the blue flashing remains of the accesoire.
Your right about installing new EP's that cause the same problem, but after reinstalling or updating videodrivers the problem is easily solved.

Sorry still learning the game stuff. I read as much as I can and re read if I get confused. Well I got to thinking about maybe deleting the Acessory cache might help. Then re running the game. Ok Ill let ya know how it goes.

You dont have to delete anything, because wat causing it is already gone ;)
Doesn't make any sense but it's true.
I you see a sim with blue flashings thingy's arround him/her just take control, walk to a mirror, take off any accesoires, exit mirror.
Then choose fix apparance again at the mirror, put your accesoires back on.
Make sure you have a recolor and mesh for the accesoire, like alway's.
Now its fixed.(Save your game......as it will happen again if you dont.)

If it isn't fixed...and you are sure the necesarry recolor and mesh are installed, then you might have problems with your videocard drivers, reinstalling and/or updating them will fix it.

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks BlooM ;)

Ok Thank you its a driver thing now I guess. I still get the blue flashy stuff. Its really no biggie though.

I figured the accessory cache might have become corrupt and deleting it might help. I figured it was a good time to clean up things a bit. I did the take off and put on trick also. Since I added more memory yesterday it wouldnt take as long to rewite those files.

So its on to drivers now. It looks awesome in bodyshop though. Thanks for the tip about getting a good look in bodyshop. I never could figure that one one out even when I read the tutorial for bodyshop. LOL (Doh)
 
Great work.

Thanks for your wonderful creations and the help also.:worship:

Amazing idea, excellent work, marvelous implementation. I love it - not much else to say. Every day I am surprised by things that I never thought possible. Thank you very much for sharing this, and LadyMystique for requesting it!

wow very nice!!it will be nice to make 3d and realistic teeth :D

I have this happen from time to time myself, it's the most annoying when you go downtown or something go to take pics & you have a Sim that you have no control over show up wandering all around with the dreaded "Blue Flashers"... :smt120

Like this gal in the background...

LOL, yeah, he was all over Melinda, and yes, that's another incarnation of her... :shh:

I'd really like to know a solution for the flashing blue problem....I get it with Maxis objects, too:
The luxury addon bed, the one with the horizontal stripes at the head end, sometimes has flashing blue stripes and I do not have any recolours of that item.
Then there are some accessoires which will always flash unless I walk the sim to a mirror, but saving or not, it occurs the next time I start the game...*sigh*

If it occurs after you fixed.saved it at the mirror its prolly related to either the game itself or your drivers.

Only advice i have:
* get the latest patches for all EP's
*Reinstall Direct X
*Reinstall or update video card drivers

wow this is awesome thanks so much

Um, BlooM, did you ever test this with vampires? Their fangs disappear when they have their tongues, yet without they're fine :oogle:

Aside from that it looks great in-game - I went and re-coloured it for aliens too ;) Got a no-piercings version and a barbell only version too - didn't realise it was that easy to do until I had a look at the UVMap you posted :) Thanks loads for this :D

no, never tested it on them, i should have because the tongue is based on the teeth.
ill try it out and prolly will have to add it to my post ;) Thnx

Ah, that's probably why then. Still, at least with the fangs accessory I have they don't look as weird as the defaults did, so it's still worth giving my vamps tongues ;)

Wow this is great! :D Now I think I'm addicted to giving all my sims tongues, with or without piercings...

Hey, do you think it would be possible to make these for the kids (maybe toddlers) too? Without the piercings, it could still be a step closer to the realism Maxis never bothered to complete when making their models.

You hardly notice with kids, that why i left them out.

There are nice. ; )

There's a tutorial on fixing those pesky blue flashing accessories at MTS2 here (http://forums.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=283059)

These are really cool... but I'm amazed at the possibility of having TWO TONGUES... could be most amusing...

:laugh:

Very creative- blue flashing- two tongues- or not- I think it's great! :)

thanks

i have that same problem all my earrings and other things turn blue at random i have to keep "chaning apperance" to make them turn back to normal i hope a modder or ea can solve these problem its so annoying. BUT THANKS !! GREAT DOWNLOAD:blob6:

You can try it yourself here:

I've been looking for this, you are the best thank you!!! :D

Thank you for the updates Bloom :worship:and thank you for sharing.

personally, this is one of my favorite accessories. if it's not too much trouble, would you consider doing one (for all ages) with just the ball? all you would have to do is take the rings out. i'm too stupid when it comes to meshing to do it myself. :P thank you for making these.

Well, i made them alpha editible(dont know how else to call it...)
Anyway, when you make a recolor of these you have the choice wich/wat you want.
You can simply delete the rings by blacking them out on the alpha bmp file.
