Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: BeosBoxBoy on October 28, 2007, 06:44:10 am amar_el7ob requested some help with a veil that began life on SimsTV (defunct) - I could not locate a copy of the original mesh, so I made one.
BASE GAME COMPATIBLE - SORTED AS GLASSES (http://www.insimenator.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=99119&stc=1&d=1193570936) The bottom hem-line of the niqab is slightly animated like a hair, nothing extreme. My included recolour is based on a niqab my friend Kenny's mum wears, albeit not so frequently these days. This mesh is free to use, free to distribute; no need to ask for permission. Give credit to amar_el7ob and beosboxboy for the mesh. What is a niqab? A niqāb (Arabic: نِقاب) is a veil which covers the face, worn by some Muslim women as a part of sartorial hijāb. It is popular in the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf but it can also be found in North Africa, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent and all over Europe, more so United Kingdom. Islamic women in the USA typically do not wear a niqāb, but numbers are increasing as it becomes a matter of Muslim pride. Unless unfamiliar guests are present, Muslim women typically do not affect the niqāb or burqa within the home. The niqab and burqa are garments of modesty, not unlike (until about 25-30 years ago) women in the United Kingdom and USA would not leave the house without a hat and gloves. Because of the wide variety of hijāb worn in the Muslim world, it can be difficult for Westerners to definitively distinguish between one type of veil and another. The terms niqab and burqa are often used interchangeably, not not necessarily with great accuracy. The niqāb and burqa have become politicised matters in the West due to ignorance and misinformation. Individuals within many religions use the symbols of their chosen faith for harm, but it should be remembered that it is wrong to characterise any faith or race by extremists within that race or faith. Strangely enough, the Muslim world got its custom of the niqāb from the ancient Greeks through their influence on the Levant and Asia Minor. Nota Bene: Before you post some obnoxious, hateful reply in this thread, consider most carefully the fact that for every "bad" person in the world, there are 1000s and millions of not "bad" people. Likening the use of the niqab to an act of terrorism is a thing of exceptional ignorance and will likely get you banned from the use of this forum.

So will it be located in facial items? Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: bitter grrrl on October 28, 2007, 04:29:17 pm This is lovely -- thanks for sharing!
Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: HermioneG on October 28, 2007, 04:48:12 pm Great, thank you! And very well done.
Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: Dizi on October 28, 2007, 05:09:48 pm Wow! This is very nice. I have some outfits that have just screamed for an accessory of this nature but I couldn't find anything I liked. Now I'm going to have to seriously test my slowly growing skills to make recolors that match my clothes. If you don't hear from me, I'm suffering like you were when making the counters. Lol, maybe not quite that bad because you're obviously more patient than I am, but you get the idea of my abilities/capabilities.
Thanks much! ~dizi Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: BeosBoxBoy on October 28, 2007, 05:29:12 pm Quote from: amar_el7ob;1010307 Thank you so much !! So will it be located in facial items? Hi Amar! It lists as glasses (old style) in non-Bon Voyage -- I can make a Bon Voyage version that lists it as something other - like a necklace or something if anyone needs this. I should have said something about that in the first post! Thanks for making me think! :lol: Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: miros1 on October 28, 2007, 06:02:31 pm I can see a sheer version for a belly dancer costume!

Problem with making it for BV neckless category is it wont showup in bodyshop anymore. Cant recolor it anymore, not that it needs a recol :D Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: XPTL297 on October 29, 2007, 04:35:33 am I see nothing specific about it because I remember in my childhood some women use something similar when they went to church (for funerals or something I don't remember). Questions: can it be used together with glasses? or any other item classified in the glasses bin?
Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: comicheroin on October 29, 2007, 04:50:43 am AH *_* It's so pretty!
Thankyou! Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: BeosBoxBoy on October 29, 2007, 05:26:36 am XPTL - I just left it as a regular glasses - I didn't think of that - i will make a stackable version if needed.

Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: szielins on November 04, 2007, 08:41:27 pm Stackable would be nice. The one Egyptian doctor I know wears glasses...
I don't know from accessories (or much about anything, to tell the truth.) I tried editing the alpha to get a sheering effect, but in play it seemed as though each pixel was rounded to either all on or all off-- nothing in between. Is that the nature of the accessory itself, or is it a glitch on my end somewhere? Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: BeosBoxBoy on November 05, 2007, 02:44:09 pm szielins - more options added
Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: Amira on November 05, 2007, 05:53:12 pm Just a question? What does stackable mean?
Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: szielins on November 05, 2007, 06:44:49 pm Quote from: beosboxboy;1020153 szielins - more options added Works like a charm. Thanks! amar_el7ob: in re what "stackable" means: ordinarily, one can wear only one pair of glasses at a time. The original niqab inherited enough of this nature that a Sim donning it would have their "other pair of glasses" removed. The newer "stackable" versions are in their own bin, and so may be worn with glasses (including in particular the Maxis defaults) without any trouble. Title: amar_el7ob's requested niqab Post by: SabiZwerg on May 26, 2008, 12:46:16 pm These are great! I've already recolorded it on a transparent base. It looks really good on my sims. A pity it doesn't work for teens, too...:thumblef::goodjob:
