More Awesome Than You!

Does anyone know if there's a way to recolor and/or convert the maxis BV jewelry (like making the stuff in the misc. category for teens) since it doesn't show up in BS? I've asked around on other forums but no one has ever given me a response, so I was hoping someone more awesome than me could help me out. Thanks in advance!

Yes. You get to do it manually. :P

I'm guessing that will require using SimPE? and if so, how?

I have no idea.

Look at MTS2 for tutorials on making default replacements. I toyed around with it awhile ago but lacked the motivation.

Making adult jewelry available to teens would probably mean resizing the mesh.  I imagine that's a lot more work than you wanted to do.

So far as just recoloring, is there any simple way to move things from the jewelry category to the "glasses" category?  Then it would be simple to recolor them.  I know jfade was moving things from the glasses category to the jewelry category, so it should be possible to go the other way.

I supposed I could give it a go....gotta find the files for the jewelry first (Haven't been able to find them yet). And as for converting, I've done some mesh conversions before.

EDIT: Ok, I got them recatagorized, but I think I broke something in the process. This is what I get when I get to the AF earrings. Any ideas? I didn't do anything with the mesh, just extracted the XML data & changed it from jewelery to accessory, so I have no clue what might be causing this. Also, don't know if this makes a difference, but I got the XML data for these earrings from the FT Jewelry.package.

I think I got the same when I had an earring mesh without any corresponding texture.
