More Awful Than You! February: SKINS

[Sleepycat]

damn I forgot how bad the picture was for my radioactive purple skintone    I'm surprised my very blue skintone and the others didn't get mentioned *laughs*  the scary thing is that some people liked them enough to request non-alien-default versions   



If anyone is wondering, I did them just for fun (in 2005) and to try to get other people to make better default alien skintone replacements ...I really dislike the maxis green alien skintone. My friend Tim put together the first full (all ages and both genders) default alien skintone replacement.package file, after I ranted about there not being one and how I was told it would be too hard to make. So, laugh all you want at my purple skintone (I do) but keep in mind that people started making nice default alien skintone replacements a short time later

<-- would LOL if the ea genie skin won this month's More Awful Than You.

I'm the only judge. It won't.

I want an "I dream of Jeanie" genie.

Me tooooo!!!

And, Sleepycat, it's okay. You wouldn't have won even if it was serious. Although it hurts, it's not horrendous. Not like the meat skins or the mouldy Fruit Salad sweet skins.




...and now you have One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying, Purple People-Eaters in my head, too...

I thought they only ate purple people?

I thought either they WERE purple, or they only ate one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people, in which case, good luck to it. But apparently not.

[Ellatrue]

I think they are purple people cannibals.

[Nailati]

I want an "I dream of Jeanie" genie.

   With or without belly-button?

Tradition demands that her belly-button be covered up, of course. (My older sister was so obsessed with IDOJ that decorated her bedroom like the inside of the genie bottle, and filmed a home-made homage with me, age 6, starring as Jeannie.)

Concept and skill are fine, but why does the hair suddenly end at the collarbone? Gah, that doesn't make sence.
WTF is up with the title "Men With Fur"? The creator is a Furry, perhaps? Meh.

[MrsH]

Now to me those lighter shades do not say fur.  They say skin disease.  The cut off point is just plain wee-urd.  Or sloppy.  Or both.

[Stitches]

From what I hear, it also hurts like a bitch to get done, and then kinda itches because your body is constantly trying to heal and force it out. Which it will do, it only last a few months and then you have to do it again. Actually, that skin looks quite nice, body modification opinion aside.

Edit: Aparently, the corset piercings on the sides hurt more, back skin is a little tougher.

Mine didn't hurt more than my industrial. It depends on so many factors. Mostly, it depends on if the person is scared. Scared people tense up and it hurts more. Also, being young and having a healthy amount of body fat to pad the dermis is helpful.

It began itching after about six months so I removed them. They are pretty pointless unless you are a fetishist / fetish model / girlfriend of a fetishist. It's uncomfortable to lace them under clothing so the only time they ever got laced properly was for sex. Usually the boyfriend was too impatient so it didn't happen then either.

More crap from the endless supplier thereof, TSR:



Bad self-tan products?



For the sim that wants to look like a boiled lobster.

"Red" skintones. Why? Does anyone IRL actually have skin this red?

Does anyone IRL actually have radioactive purple skin, either? For that matter, is anyone IRL actually part plant?

[Jadis]

Just seems to me like the person was going for realism rather than fantasy with these skins. Also, if they are fantasy skins, I've seen better. I've got nothing against fantasy-skins at all.

they're all scary... can we leave it at that who (even in fantasy, which I admit, I don't know much about) has skin that color or awful shade. lol...

[witch]

And the darker the skin, the whiter the cheeks. WTF is up with that?

You know, technically, lobsters aren't red either. A red lobster is one that is suffering from some serious health problems.

Or has been boiled.

Or has been boiled.

Like I said, serious health problems. Death would be a health problem, yes?

[Gwill]

Concept and skill are fine, but why does the hair suddenly end at the collarbone? Gah, that doesn't make sence.

I know some very hairy guys, and one of them reported that it was a bit of a problem when shaving that he didn't know where he should stop.  At what point does facial hair become body hair?  Most men shave under the chin and a bit down the neck.  I figure these guys continue down the shoulders and draw the line at the collarbone.
Yes, it looks stupid, but believe me, so does stopping in a sharp line at the adam's apple.

I think the hair on those skins are too evenly distributed.  There should be more down the middle and across the chest.

Fixed my post.

[Gwill]

I've seen some lobster-like "furry" sims, and come to think of it, those have all been red.

We seriously need a furry themed awful contest.

[Quinctia]

How did that mnemonic for the visible spectrum go?

Oh yeah...


There's actually a helluva lot more where those came from.  There's just so many, I don't understand it...

[FireFlyNine]

I dare someone to find a TSR American Flag skintone. Cookies and rum to the winner.

Ok, I failed. However, I did find these beauties from mod the sims. I know they're not skin tones, but they are skins of a sort...





Get them here and here.

No such luck, but here's a Jean Grey skin, found under skintones, so I'm assuming it must be an actual skintone. I've no idea who Jean Grey is, but I wouldn't want my sims in this skin (I wouldn't want them in it if it was an outfit either):



Creator: Iceman721, get it here:http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/body/skintones/75585/

Description:
This skin tone goes with the bra and underware set in clothing by the same name to complete the costume. This character is an verison of the X-men member Jean Grey. I don't have the same talent as "Cms3110" to combine his "Elektra" character into one file so, I had to do it in two. Special thanks to "Cms3110" for their wonderful work and to give credit of the idea them totally. Remember to look for the Jean Grey Green Bran and Yellow ...

Jean Grey is from the X-Men. Here's a picture to compare the skin with:

[GayJohnScarritt]

I don't see the resemblance.

                                 <<scratches head>>

They both have green?

[Tchan]

Well, this'll be a difficult decision to make. 90% of these are truly horrendous!
