Well.....here she is :)

Long story, i love USA Fords, especially the 1969 Mustang sportsroof but couldn't find a 3d model of one(for free that is.)
So i decided to go for another beauty, The T Bird.
Wasn't smart as it was my very first object and had to figure out so many things.

The mesh contains a 3d model of a 64 bird wich i found on the net and was free
But it wasn't such a good mesh and a closed kinda boring car.
Chopped of the roof and made a custom interieur, all except the seats are new, panels/colum/console/dash etc etc.
Also found some custom rims on the net that look pretty neat on it.
I can tell you, meshing from scratch is difficult and time consuming.
I did alot splitting up, to get the chrome seperated, made the uvmaps and more, to much to list down.

The package is based on the hunka sportscar but the first thing i did was changing the sound, i used the smooga minima sound because it sounded more like a V8 engine.
I also changed alot material settings and added some files and such to get nice looking chrome parts.
I never textured a object before and had a hard time starting but thanks to our well known
Wizzard Yakov i got things figured out quickly.
He also redid the License plate and the speedometer as i screwed them up earlier and he converted the rims to a format that i could import into milkshape.
Thank you so much M8, you and Ju are my 2 gods in Sims Land :)

The car is not original, far from..... thats why i called it Custom, hehe
And..... i did give up on texturing to early(got bored)
But....... it does come with alot color options :D
The car has 12 Paintcolors and 6 diffrent interieurs, so thats alot combinations together :rofl:
Blooms_1964CustomFordThunderbird.rar comes with the yellow car and the brown interieur.
This package contains the mesh that you will need to have the car ingame
The coloroptions.rar contains only all the recolors.
When ingame, put a car first on the lot, then choose the interieur color with the designe key, works alot easier.

There are no animations for sims when they make out or Woohoo, they simply fade out and fade in but i did manage to keep the Car animations.(Without the foggy windows)
I didn't like the stupid car jump on the end of the woohoo animation so i changed those to the making out anime.

This is a higher polygon mesh, 16736 to be exact.
Not extreem but twice as high as a normal maxis car but still acceptable in my opinion(there are 20.000/30.000 poly cars arround....)
But if your on a crappy comp, dont get frustrated if your suffering lag with it ;)

Issue's:
The grill and side moldings do glitch at far distance, you can fiddle with smoothing edges if you have a powerfull comp to make it less.
The chrome can look diffrent, depending wat videocard you running.

These are really great. I love old convertibles. Thanks for all your hard work! :)

I don't know how I missed this but it's amazing BLooM.  I've seen a lot of cars , and downloaded quite a few bc I'm a car lover irl but this takes the cake. Thanks so much again.

I told ya the black was "to die for"!! BlooM, this is just one of the most beautiful cars I've run into for our game, all of your hard work truly shows ~ there's no doubt she was a labor of love... :D

I love this car it is beautiful wonderful and so incredibly HOT!!!! thanks BlooM

wow Bloom you really did an awesome job!! I Love It!! must dl :D thnx

Its not full black tho, thought it wouldn't be that nice.
Still a big shade of purple in it.
Think its prettier this way.

EdiT:
hehe, i stole your picture and added it to the post :D

The black one with chrome details.... Soooo charming! Thanks, BlooM!

Steal away, mi amigo! Yeah, I noticed the shade, kind of like black hair that's got blue highlights in it. A solid black might've been too black, like you stated. If ya want anymore pics, I've got a bunch... ;)


BTW, the sound's are just right for it... :D

NICE!!!! Thanks


Now anyone know how to hotwire...?

Sharp!  Thanks!

Wow, this has to be the nicest car ever in the Sims2 game. I missed it at first but thanks to HWT and RafaelNunes23 ( They advertised your car on the adult site and gave me the link ) I can now have this beautiful car  for my sims !!

Congratulations for this car BlooM !! Our talent seems to be without limits !

BTW do you plan on making some more cars in the future ?

You finished her, she's absolutely beautiful Bloom.
This is such a fantastic surprise after being away for a while, makes coming back all the better.

Have a Happy New Year everyone.

Gorgeous.... simply gorgeous. Is there anything you CAN'T do? Thank you so much for this!

Yes, i am very busy with car replacements.
I working on a default replacement for the base game career starters car(abarth/fiat 500) and a replacement for the pizzadeliverycar(going to be a scooter :D )
I also have a tank as replacement for the military career but dont know if i will get permission to post the tank as the mesh isn't mine.....

Just...WOW! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the response BlooM. I'll be waiting for the release of your next default replacement cars.

Great job !!

good work, man :)

This is gorgeous!  Oh, my  brother is going to loving having this in the game. o 3o;;  Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work!  And I like the purple-black; pure black wouldn't have been nearly as striking in my opinion. :D

Don't they call that a Candied paint job on car in real life. Now I know why it shines like it has a clear coat a foot deep on the paint job. Sorry I am a car nut.

Cool! You finished her!
I'll get her after I finally install more memory and a new graphics card (my christmas presents ;))

My goodness! My father's favorite car that he used to own in red. Ah I'd love to make a great story with this. Thanks!

Hello, pretty cars- where was I when you were posted up?  Great work.

Good job. Thanks.

Cars too, Bloom what can't you do?  Thanks!

WOOOW is fantastic! veeeeryy veryy GOOD  :D

DAY LATE & A DOLLAR SHORT, BUT I JUST DISCOVERED THIS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS WAS MY MOTHER'S "ESCAPE" CAR [WHITE W/ RED INTERIOR]  WHEN I WAS 9 YEARS OLD! [MUCH MORE STYLISH THAN THE OLD '59 CHEVY BELAIRE BROOKWOOD STATION WAGON] IT WAS ALSO MY FIRST CAR WHEN I STARTED DRIVING, MAKING ME EXTREMELY COOL DESPITE ITS LESS-THAN-PRISTINE CONDITION IN 1971. NOW IF YOU COULD ONLY DO MY FATHER'S 1966 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL & A CONVERTIBLE VERSION [THE ONE WE ALWAYS BEGGED FOR BUT NEVER GOT] I CAN DIE A HAPPY MAN. GOOSEBUMPS & GREAT MEMORIES. THANKS!

I am an IRL 60s and 70s muscle car fan of Mopars (Dodges & Plymouths) and Fords, Love these cars, they are exactly what I have been looking for!

Awesome work, thanks so much for this.

How did I miss this for so long????? BlooM hon, it is fantastic!! Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for sharing this with us! It is beautiful! I love it!:angel:

yes, yes, yes. My dream car, a 69 Mustang. But this one will do it! I think I love you for this one! Amazing! Thanks :love3:

Wow, this is fabulous!! THANKS!!

OMG...how on earth did I ever miss this breath taking piece of American engineering here..? Mine, mine, mine.....*jumps in car and speeds away*
