Holy crap, I actually adjusted a mesh!

For plot reasons, I needed sailor hats for my Navy boys.  Uniforms too, but I was able to fake them with some basic recoloring in Body Shop.  Hats however, remained elusive.  I was to the point where I was going to fake it with some game content (one of the hats that came with the Oceanography career).  But then I found this:


Pretty close to what I wanted/needed.  I knew I could easily recolor it, but it was for girls only.  After some research, I managed to change it in SimPE so it was enabled for boys as well.  But the angle looked odd.  So I got myself a big cup of coffee, an accessory meshing tutorial, and crossed my fingers.

The result?


HUZZAH!!!  I DID IT!!!!!

Okay, it still doesn't line up quite properly in the back of the head, but with some of the poofier custom hairs I have, it won't be too noticeable.  So I'm impressed with myself for more than one reason, mostly that I made something with Milkshape and it didn't explode or have gigantic holes in it.  Maybe, I'll get brave and try something new in the future.
