Wardrobe Wrangler Released!

[Zazazu]

I have certainly learned something worthwhile today.

[Khan of Wyrms]

And so we see that the moral of the story is that one can contemplate hot pants and drink with acolytes without becoming completely distracted and out of touch.

There's a lesson in that for everyone, I think.

It is often most advantageous to not be distracted and completely out of touch when the subject is hot pants.  In fact, being focussed and in touch typically is most rewarding.  How else could one arrive at the truth concealed within such profound mysteries?

[jolrei]

I, myself, am an avid seeker after truth, although "profound mysteries" do not present themselves nearly often enough, in my view.

[M-King]

Sorry to break up the "awe inspiring" hot pants discusssion, but I am in MORTAL PERIL (sort of)

When i mean unchanged, I mean it doesnt show up in CAS in any form, and any new townies created with the boolprop cheat are the same as always---Bland.

PS. I admit it, i am a noob to this site, (note the pathetic amount of posts), and have no idea if this site has any "help" areas, and if so, could someone point me in the right direction?

[Jelenedra]

Stupid question number 1: Are you saving after clicking the townie button on the skintones?

[M-King]

 ::)yep.

[Milhouse Trixibelle Saltfucker III]

Please to not double-post. There is a "modify" button; use it.

[M-King]

I see I have made a mistake, I have removed the topic, sorry for the annoyance. 

[Gwill]

Stupid question number 2: Are you remembering to save?

[jolrei]

Stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't Stupid question number 2 the same as Stupid question number 1? 

Also, I am pleased with the "MORTAL PERIL" characterization of this issue.  What this forum needed right now, I said, was moar outrageously exaggerated characterizations of situations.

Stupid question number 3:  Have you tried other skin tones, just to see if it's the actual skin tones themselves that are borked, or whether your game simply doesn't like any new skin tones?

(I'm assuming you've loaded them properly since WW seems to recognize them and they aren't that difficult to load anyway).

[Jelenedra]

Stupid Question number 4: You do know that even if you geneticize and townize custom skin tones, that they still appear in the custom skintone menu in CAS? You still have to manually select them from that menu (no space in the MAXIS menu for skintones), they will just have a genetic value now.

Stupid Question Number 5: If you didn't know that, are you SURE hitting the random button in CAS is not producing sims with custom skintones?

[Khan of Wyrms]

Stupid Question Number 6:  There is no Stupid Question Number 6.

[Jelenedra]

Profit!

[M-King]

1-5 Yes.

6. Well thats a relief.

Dont get me wrong, I'm grateful for all the help, but I do know the basics of the game and the Wrangler.

I am pretty sure that if you townify a skintone it doesn't show up under the custom skintone menu anymore. When you geneticize the skins (without townifying them) then it works just as you describe where they are still available in the custom skintone menu and they have a genetic value. When I have townified skintones I usually work around this by creating a sim in BS with the skin and saving it so that I can easily access that skin after I townify it.

[Gwenke]

Or if you want to avoid the hassle, you can set the genetic power of a skintone and then change its flag from -08 to -00. It will then be used by newly generated townies and still available as custom skin. This is described at this site somewhere and it works.

OOooh that's right. That's even in the FAQ. That's why I don't townify skins, just the hair. I remember now. =p

Gwenke: Do you know where on the site that's mentioned in detail? I tried searching, and came up blank.

[BastDawn]

Mind the rake, Jelenedra, and read the post above yours.

Gwenke: Do you know where on the site that's mentioned in detail? I tried searching, and came up blank.

It's buried in a thread about geneticizing Enayla's skins.  Look in Peasantry.  Madame Min Mens Mortuus posted about it, and I confirmed that it works with eyes as well.


Edited to change to the correct MM name.   

[tryclyn]

  I remember that thread.  Mens Mortuus found the values to change.
