Title: No Witch Overlay Post by: Simsbaby on 2008 August 30, 01:28:49 These two hacks will completely disable the good and evil witch skin tone overlays, so the look just like normal sims. The sim's original skin tone will show as if the were a neutral witch, and they will keep their sparkles if they are evil/good enough. There are two files, one for good witches and one for bad witches, so you can decide if you want to change both of them or not. I used a different technique from HystericalParoxysm, mine are slightly smaller.
Please note that this may not take effect immediately on loading the lot, if you Sim still has the overlay on their face, take them to a mirror. Apply some face paint, then remove it. Save. Their face should be normal then.

Fix by giving and removing another face paint.
Title: Re: No Witch Overlay Post by: JuliWolfe on 2008 August 30, 18:05:27 Out of a hatred for the hideously green skin I wouldn't allow my poor witch to become too evil. While the sparkly auras are cool now, I can definitely see getting sick of them in the near future. Can we get a version that also makes those go away? Thankee! I will definitely put this to use.
Title: Re: No Witch Overlay Post by: Simsbaby on 2008 August 30, 19:25:28 I don't think I know how to do that. I could blank out the images, but then they would still be floating around there and slowing down the game. JFade made a hack to stop the zone glow from Freetime. Maybe when he gets his stuff updated he will also make one for the witches.
Title: Re: No Witch Overlay Post by: JuliWolfe on 2008 August 31, 08:15:16 Working great in game, been playing it all day with no noticeable issues. Predictably however, I am now frankly sick of my sim walking around in a shower of green sparkly light. Why couldn't they just sparkle when they're brewing potions or casting spells? Meh!
Title: Re: No Witch Overlay Post by: Soggy Fox on 2008 September 01, 05:40:38 I'd thought about getting that one, but I kind of like the Light side glow.
My favorite is the neutral witch and that brings a question. If I can manage to make a set of neutral recolours for the throne, lamps - would anyone be interested in them - no idea how to hack them to be available for a netrail witch/warlock to use, but, think that could be pretty nifty. Title: Re: No Witch Overlay Post by: SammyTheSim on 2009 November 14, 03:32:48 Thank you very much for this!
It has a small issue though. Sims who have been in a fire or electrocuted will get stuck with the smudgy face even after showering or bathing. Applying full face makeup and taking it back off will clean up their face, but that only works with controllable sims.

Juli,try Modthesims2.com. I think I saw something there about removing the sparkles.

I would definetely be interested in that. ;D (http://fi.somethingawful.com/customtitles/title-his_neutralness.gif) I have no strong feelings either way. :P BTW, BLS! It is spelled 'neutral' |
