Spiked Chokers and Bracelets Set and Skull Ring Low Poly Ed

After much consideration with the new rubric and moderator comments, I have converted the original items into Low-Poly Editions! (These will conflict with the originals on my blog). This set includes spiked bracelets, spiked chokers, and a skull ring for a total of 15 items with complete morphs that have been significantly reduced to optimize performance. All textures are 2048 x 2048 high quality. Each item has its own thumbnail in CAS. The entire creating process was long and excellent practice for my crafting skills. I would also like to include how I made these items for those curious and/or interested.

On to the screenshots! Pictured is brother and sister Taurus and Darling.


Spiked Bracelets
The spiked bracelets include male and female versions of four designs. I have named each design according to its basic geometry. Basically, single spikes are just one row of spikes and less dense, but they are also bigger. Double spikes have two rows of spikes, are more dense, and are smaller. Double bands mean 2 bands on the right hand and 2 bands on the left hand. Single bands means only 1 band on the left and 1 band on the right. The bracelets are simply mini versions of the chokers and each spike is fully meshed.

Each bracelet has 3 recolorable areas: one for the right band, one for the left band, and one for the spikes. These bracelets can be worn by Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder sims. You can find them under Everyday, Athletic, Formal, and Career wear. They are Vaild for Random.



Spiked Chokers
The spiked chokers also include male and female versions of three designs. The Single Spiked Choker has one row of spikes while the Double Spiked Choker has two rows of spikes. The Big Spiked Skull Choker has two large spikes, two medium spikes, metal plating, a skull, and a dagger attachment. The Single Spiked and Double Spiked Chokers have 2 recolorable areas: one for the collar and one for the spikes. The Big Spiked Skull Choker has 4 recoloarble areas: one for the metal plating and skull, one for the collar, one for the spikes, and one for the dagger attachment. The original skull mesh is by Matt Ostrom and can be downloaded here . I edited the original model heavily, from taking out the teeth and replacing it with a cover, to stretching the skull, and finally optimizing the entire model for Sims 3 integration (as well as attachment to the collar's base). Each spike is fully meshed as well as the metal plating on the Big Spiked Skull Choker.
Teen, Young Adult, and Adult sims can wear the spiked chokers. You can find them under Everyday, Athletic, Formal, and Career wear. They are Not Valid for Random.



Skull Ring
The skull ring was designed for both male and female Teens, Young Adults, Adults, and Elders. The entire skull ring consists of one recolorable area. Once again, the original skull mesh is by Matt Ostrom and can be downloaded here. This skull is even more heavily modified as the entire ring is built with the skull instead of just attaching it to a ring base. The source pic I modeled this from is Ruki's skull ring (from the GazettE). While I couldn't get the exact texture to show on such a small surface, I opted for making a creepy skull instead. You can find it under Everyday, Athletic, Formal, Outer and Career wear. It is Valid for Random.
