Sims4 Scuba Gear Grim Reaper

Description

Right.  This thing right here.  

So in Island Living you can drown in the ocean.  And when you do the Reaper comes up from the water jaws style and takes your Sims' soul to the netherworld.  Pretty neat.

Too bad it's FULL OF LIES!

If you're looking in the CAS for this outfit you're shit outta luck because it's not there.  In fact ol' Grim does NOT come to reap your Sim's soul.  No, it's all game trickery because it's NOT the Grim Reaper at all, but a game object that's based off the Reaper's in game model.  So you only THINK it's the Reaper.  Moreover if you try to snorkel with Grim he never gets to wear scuba gear!  What fakery!  What a sham!

No more!  Here he is in all his CAS glory - the Scuba Gear Grim Reaper! (As a hat.)

Actually this was a really weird outfit to make.  You see although the goggles are on his head the texture space is on the bottom half.  Which makes the texture space really odd.  Moreover I wanted this to go over the Reaper's real outfit - where the hood is actually his hair.  So I did things a little differently this time around.  This time I imported the body, head, and goggle mesh into a completely different package based off the tuxedo.  I then added them to the LOD info and region editor manually. Then I made the texture space set to "skin overlay" fixing the normal map!  And - BEHOLD!  A mesh that uses the ENTIRE texture space and has all four regions I needed it to have!  Including the head's vertex groups!  All that for a Scuba Gear Grim Reaper!  But I don't think anyone else cares about ol' Grim enough to do this but me!!

The goggles are actually different on the object than in the CAS' goggles - the tube from the CAS version cuts into his head.  And the CAS' Reaper outfit is actually more complex than the object Reaper's.  So this is a combo of the CAS Reaper and the object reaper to give the appropriate effect.

So in addition to all that I also went out of my way to give it all the CAS goggle's swatches!  I mean I've gone this far, right!?
