One of my very first "popular" uploads was my Longer Nails for the Ladies set. In fact, I believe it's the most downloaded item of mine. Well, I made those a long, long time ago when I was still new to creation. I recently saw a picture of them on tumblr being used on a sim and I was mortified. At first I was just going to remove the nail upload and leave it at that. But, I really like the squared tip shape of these, it's unique. They just needed a serious overhaul, so I set out to do it.

The first thing I did was adjust the nail placement on the sim. I got them to sit a little closer to the skin to reduce the thick floating effect. They are still a little raised on the finger, but that's how real acrylic nails (oxymoron, much?) look anyways. I also gave each age group their own separate mesh instead of using one enabled for all ages. This allowed me to fix the sunken thumbnail issue with elders.

The second update I did was to change the texture of the nails, well technically there never was texture, I just added it.


Lastly, I fixed the pattern tiling on the nails. Before, on the old version, any pattern applied to the nail would be squished horribly to the point where it looked like a bunch of confetti. Now you can have cute patterned tips!

Everything else about the nails is still the same. There are three channels: nail base, tip, and tip liner. They can be found for female teens through elder in all categories, including naked and career. They are accessories categorized as gloves.
Polygon Counts:
Faces:690 Vertices:780
(same for all LODs)
Additional Credits:
The same credit/thanks goes to Rose Sims for letting me modify her original nail mesh.
All hairs are EA, but the short cut has a default replacement texture by Aikea_Guniea.
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
