Your Favorite Default Replacement Skins?
«

2006 May 29, 12:01:06 »
I have a set of default replacement skins that were made by an online friend. They are really very lovely, a little shiny, very smooth. The problem is that the "fat" morph doesn't work well. The top half and the bottom half seem to live in separate dimensions. It's fine when she has clothes on, but naked, she looks like a magician's trick gone wrong.
So, show me your favorite default replacements! I need some new ones. I don't like a lot of shading (they need to be pretty smooth) and I don't like the hyper-realistic ones either.

I've been using paradisesim's defaults ever since they were released. They're not deviating much from Maxian standards, and they're anatomically correct as well.

I use Enayla's skintones, but not her default set. Instead I have mixed and matched skintones from her sets to make an S1-S4 spectrum that fits in more with my playing style: my S4 is more like default S3. I have a dark skin which I made genetically S5.

I used to use them, but decided I liked Heleane's better -- someone made defaults out of her latest set (1111) and put them on MTS2. You can also find defaults of her older skin sets there too.

I like Helaene's, too. I use the set previous to her newest as I like those better. I also use her eyes.

I really like some of her new skintones, but for the fact that all the male bodies are so goddam hairy. I mean, gosh. They're like mini sasquatches.

I use Louis' default replacements that I got off of MTS2. I really like them, they're not overly realistic but there also not too cartoony.

Louis's are still my favorite. Helaene has a recent set that nobody has made into defaults yet that I'd actually love to try out (matte finish, light freckling, not so much with the bags under the eyes as a lot of her others), but since nobody's done it yet and I've got other projects I'd rather work on than learning to do it myself, it's Louis's for me.

I am using Enayla's. They are quite glossy, but I love not having to put makeup on everyone just to make them look human. Some of my sims have her custom skins, too. Here's the link for the defaults:

Well, I adore Enayla's skins and those hyper realistic skins from SimsVault. Im gradually wacking Enaylas onto the Vault meshes thyen having them all show up as for breeding purpouses ( the way maxis skin baby's can be part-way between the parents tone) even tho they are still in the custom bin

I use the Helaene 1111 skins someone made into defaults too. I actually downloaded like 8 or 9 sets of skins from MTS2 and tried out each and every skin, and that one was by far the best.

nectere did those ones as default as a sort of private project. I didn't like them, they were still too shiny, although I think she likes them. You could ask her if she still has them and if she'd be willing to share.

The 1/12 set? That's the one I'd like to see. The 11/11 ones are pretty nice, except they have a case of the eyebags like whoa.

Nectere? Are you listening? I'd like to try those helaene skins if you please! or if you don't please, then I guess I'll have to find something else.

I love the Louis set, because they are detailed but not "scary realistic", and they aren't overly shiny. Enayla's skins are nice from a distance, but in my game they look oily and somewhat sickly, maybe because of the yellowish tints?
Simvault's hyper-realistic skins just scare me.

Interesting thread...I've always wanted some default replacement ones but suck at picking out decent ones.
I think I might try the Helaene ones.... *trusts Bluesoup's raves for them and goes to try them out.*

I use Louis's #7 too, for the same reasons that others have said already.

Am I the only one who thinks custom skin and eyes look freakish?
Nah, there have to be other people who think that. We just haven't met them yet.
Hmm, strange, I think the opposite. Maxis defaults look a little weird to me.

I've been using Helaene's for some time; before that I used Duddly's. But I generally choose a custom skin for a sim when I create one—I have skins from Helaene, Allan Akbar, Paradise, X-Sim.com, Elau, and some new ones from Navetsea at MTS2 that I have not yet tried. I seem to use the Akbar skins most often.

I made a set of my own out of one of AllenABQ's less scarily hairy sets. They're close to Maxis standard but with just enough added detail to not have that 'Barbie effect,' or I think they are anyway.

I did the same thing; just turned off the Enayla set becasue i didn't particularly like them. I have the Heleane 805's active now to give them a go.

Those are what I used before Louis's, and I quite liked them except that they have a bit too much eye makeup on them. (Actually, even Louis's look a bit overdone about the eyes on some Sims.) Of course, what really sold me on Louis's was the fact that there are matching alien and zombie defaults.

Links, I want links! Just kidding, I'm sure I can find them on my own...
What I need desperately is a Default Alien skin that doesn't come with pointed ears. My Aliens aren't elves but I do like normal eyes and noses.
The few I came across at MTS2 are either garishly neon or simply horrid. I love Dylan's at Laverwinkles, it is perfect except for the ears.
Any suggestions?

Umm, I linked that for you at nectere's site, Maria. Did you see that? Also, they don't have pointed ears.
Unless you don't like the skin, of course.
