Perfect! I swear that I've been looking for these forever! I wear glasses and always hated the Maxis ones, mostly because of the colored glass. Lovely replacements. Thanks so much!

Actually, I second the idea that these should be featured - you might say it didn't take long, but if these are where everyone can see them all the time forever, you will continue to make lives better even more than before.

Well, maybe a 'Top Picked' would be a happy medium, that still makes it a bit more visible, but I wouldn't be happy if this was the download that finally gets me featured. Feels too cheap/easy. I expect more out of Featured work (though brilliant this may be! :: smirks :: )

Thanks for the comments everyone!

this is good, really good. i have had to hunt custom and maybe i hunted in the wrong places...but i generally found that either they are dead ugly or (wich for me is equal to ugly) "designer" glasses. i have had to limit myself to the odd two or three maxis that actually are decent. this promises goood for future sims

any chance u could convert male to go as female and vice versa? some of the male ones i would like to put on a female actually ...and it bugs me lots that the game is so...sexist (?). like why on earth no baggy top outfits for female!!! i use that a lot, and coveralls and and oh well

anyway...i wait in eager anticipation for what comes next from your busy little artist mind

I'll see, if its an easy conversion, I'll add it here, if it requires meshing and stuff, then no, sorry.

How useful IS this?? This is so, so perfect. What was with the weird colored glasses anyway? Bizarre. But these are so great and eliminates the need to obsessively download new glasses because the Maxis ones suck. Thank yoou! <3

THANK YOU!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!! *hugs you senseless* I've made a clear-glass version of the last ones myself (and was I ever proud of myself for managing to change the tint of the glass ), but I haven't had the energy to even think about touching the others. *shudders* But now my Sims can actually use all the in-game glasses without getting strange looks from their neighbours, thanks to you!

Thanks for doing this!

I do like the original Maxis green lenses in your first screenshot, because they are THE definitive Lazlo Curious glasses. But I can just copy them off in Body Shop before installing your replacements. I'm 100% behind the rest of your glasses recolors -- they look great and will open up a lot more possibilities for my sims. Thanks again!

Now I actually have a reason to use the Maxis glasses! Woo hoo!
To be honest, this download partially inspired me to stick glasses on several more of my Sims than usual.
So, thank you for fixing it! Ah. It's kind of relaxing to think of, really.

thank you for the aviator for women phae!
and as many have said..."ill use a lot more glasses from now" - i have! used a lot more glasses now :D
very many a lot more actually
they look so good, maybe the exception of the ones that had blue glass and silvery? rims (or whatever it is in english) they tend to look a bit blueish white wich to me looks odd
so i dont use those
the others have improved vastly in my opinion
keep it up work hard lol

These are great! Thanks!

It's the little things in life that make me happy.

And thanks to everyone out there, including here, who makes all the wonderful CC that I use. My game wouldn't be the same without it.

It was getting old making my brainy sims wear the EXACT SAME PAIR of glasses...in my opinion, they had only one good pair.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was afraid of that, apparently men and women need different meshes for their glasses. Thanks for letting me know. I'll take it down.
