it's ideal for this times.
well done, thank

Too Soon

Thanks!My younger sims like the highschool aged ones would love this as well as young parents raising an infant.

Can you link the mesh conversion for other ages?

I think you'll have to sign in/create an account, but it's at moonlightdragon here.

this is great. why had no one done it? Thank a lot.

I love these!

I've been looking for a surgical mask enabled for both genders ... Thank you.

I didn't know I needed this until now. Finally, I can identify my sick sims and keep them AWAY.

ETA: Are there any plans to put this in the Bon Voyage 'jewellery' categories, or would that not work for this mesh?

I'm not going to pretend there's a pandemic in my Sims game, much less wear one in real life, but it's good that someone's finally thought of this essential 2020 fashion accessory.

Thank you so much, this is a great addition for our games. In game the masks look wonderful and the colors are in point.

Bwa Ha Ha Ha! Get A Life! There Is No Covid In A Computer Game! Oh, This Is So Ridiculous!

^ Maybe they're afraid of computer viruses :/



Theraven here (different name, I know)

I prefer if people ask if they want to include meshes. On occasion I have to update something, and I don't particularly like having a lot of versions all over the web.
Uploading on my site is optional. I'm fine if they don't want to, but I do encourage it (especially when it comes to conversions and recolors of hospital stuff, because I get questions about those all the time, and trying to find the links again can be a pain if they're not easily accessible on the site, so that's more out of convenience, really), and if people want to also post somewhere else that's totally fine for me.

One of the reasons I did an all-age version of Boblishman's mask (in addition to needing more ages at the time) is that there are some bugs with the original version.

Boblishman's original recolors has the "StandardMaterial" bug in all the "Frame" recolors, which makes the material very shiny and also makes the mesh look like it's turned inside out from some view angles (you can kind of see it on the sides of some of the pictures of the masks). It's relatively easy to fix in SimPE (if you're somewhat familiar with TXMTs or Bodyshop files in general, anyway), but also very tedious because you have to fix every single "frame" TXMT.

Anyway, if you want to fix yours, you go to the frame TXMTs, click the cMaterialDefinition tab, and change "StandardMaterial" to "SimStandardMaterial", click "commit", do the same for all of them, and save the file. This should fix both bugs. I recommend doing this on Bobl's original and any recolors you have of the original, too.

Personally, I also prefer to change the TXMTs to look more like clothes (accessories often look a bit dark otherwise), so I usually change these parameters too (but if you decide in the future to do this, do all of these fixes on the file you want to recolor before you go into Bodyshop, or you're stuck for an hour or more changing files in SimPE).
-stdMatDiffCoef: 1,1,1,1
-stdMatSpecCoef: 0.099,0.099,0.099
-stdMatSpecPower: 2
This isn't a necessary fix, but personally I think accessories look a bit better, and closer color-wise to clothes.

(All of this has been fixed in the version I made - if you want, you can recolor the one I did, and I can provide a link that goes to just the mesh - just a suggestion, though)

Absolutely none of this is meant as critique, by the way (the bug is a transfer from the original file, I don't know if Bobl was even aware of it, and the file is quite old, so it's possible the bug didn't cause problems until a later EP) - just thought you or someone else might like to know how to fix the files (or any recolors of Bobl's masks, or other accessories with similar issues). I added a fixed version of Bobl's recolor file on my site, which can help avoid the TXMT problem in the future (can add it here too if it's okay).

It doesn't even look like your standard "surgical" mask and I wouldn't want to make my sims to wear anything like this in my game and pretend there's a pandemic going on. Least needed accessory ever created.

Hey! Nice to see you, I love your work I think I'm going to leave things as they are for now, as that does sound quite complicated, although if you want to let me simply put these textures on your mesh instead, I might take you up on that (though it might be a while, because I'm still hoping and praying there'll be a #catchup2020 theme next month, and I'm still preparing to get all the stickers I've missed if it happens). Does that include allowing me to use the conversions for other ages as well? It's fine if not; I just want to know exactly where the boundaries are here. I generally prefer to post my work all in one place, just because...well, really "just because", but I'd be willing to upload these to your site as well if I use your templates. It's the least I could do. Also lol, computer viruses I was thinking maybe some mad scientist unleashed a modified pollen causing a plantsim apocalypse or something, but that works too! (What, you don't think that would be apocalyptic? Think about it. Maybe it wouldn't obliterate the population, but it would certainly cause an economic collapse hitherto undreamt of. For starters, plantsims don't eat. Do you realize how much of the economy is based on food? Probably a whole lot. And they don't have a Fun motive, so demand for things like electronics will crash hard. Beds, too, and most other furniture items, because no Comfort or Energy either. I'm thinking way too much about this...)

Immortality: Ooh, I wonder if I could get a custom achievement for that? "Winner of the Least Needed Accessory award"...I think I'll put it in my profile. Thanks

Thanks a lot <3

I would never allow my sims to participate in this scam

Perfect for a MyStreet character. <3

this is great!

looks cool now no get coven 19 in my game lol
