Title: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Hei_Chavorale on 2006 July 27, 18:17:49 Does anyone know any good custom skin sites? I want to get eyes, hair, and skins for both females and males of all ages. Anything would be appreciated :D
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: starrling on 2006 July 27, 18:57:49 There's the obvious, MTS2 for a mixture of both good and not-so-good (but hey, it's better than anything I can make). Haelene's seems to be a favorite.

Post by: Brynne on 2006 July 27, 19:09:36 I use a skintone from Rensim on my self-sim, and I love it. Not too shiny or oily looking. It looks odd on the guys, though. I think you have to create the sims AROUND a lot of these custom skintones because they all have different shading, etc. If you just switch skintones, sometimes things look a little "off".
http://rensim.com/index.php This is sim Brynne (v5, now available for download, here) with a rensim skintone : (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y62/Brynne14/ivybig.jpg) Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: DoomPuppy on 2006 July 27, 20:08:46 Lin at ShinySims did a remake of the Louis skin that is fabulous. I personally use RenSims defaults at the moment. I also think her eyes are to die for..well not literally. :P
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Hei_Chavorale on 2006 July 27, 20:42:09 Thanks alot! I can't wait to download new skins. I especially love seeing what looks good on the sims I create and how their kids turn out.
For those who love eyes... http://www.simmetrical.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 check out that site, they have violet colored eyes. Lots of their eyes look incredibly real. The only thing I don't like is you have to download each individually and they have little for male sims. No hair for them :'( Thanks Again! Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Emma on 2006 July 27, 21:47:40 Lyran (http://www.lyran.net/ts2/) is one of my favourite sites for skintones and eyes. She does some nice recolours of popular meshes* too in ash blonde, mahogany red and a light brown colour. Gorgeous makeup too! ;)
[edit] *I mean hair meshes :D Silly me. Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: ElfPuddle on 2006 July 27, 22:03:57 Lyran is my fave for skins. She's tied for fave with garnetrising at MTS2 for eyes.
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Jysudo on 2006 July 28, 02:54:41 Have shiny sims changed their site? For me it is always 404'ed. A google churned up no useful info either.
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 July 28, 03:52:59 This is sim Brynne (v5, not the one available for download, here) with a rensim skintone : Well, then, why have you not given us a new upgraded Sim-Brynne? And how does this Sim-Brynne differ from the last edition?Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc...

And how does this Sim-Brynne differ from the last edition?Sim Brynne v5 is available on my forum. :P She's got new custom skin, new hair (which changes daily because of video-making), but more importantly, her facial structure is tweaked. I guess I could update her, here, but I wasn't sure people were still updating their sims. Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 July 28, 04:32:29 Yes, but where is it? Is it the same as the last time you updated Sim-Brynne, or is this a new one? Is there a Brynne-upgrade-mode package?
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Brynne on 2006 July 28, 04:45:55 It's in the same place as the last sim Val/Brynne was updated. I just changed the files at CJ. CJ Swag, pinned, first post.
ETA: I updated Sim Brynne in Made Up Animals. http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,1640.msg54943.html#msg54943 Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Hei_Chavorale on 2006 July 28, 11:43:28 Thanks everyone! Today will be a download and experimental day today ;D
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Brynne on 2006 July 28, 11:46:04 Thanks everyone! Today will be a download and experimental day today ;D All right! Party on, girl! Guy? Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Jelenedra on 2006 July 28, 15:22:32 I like Enayla's skins for a new default set. You can get her stuff at modthesims2.com
For hair I suggest Seomi from the same site. Peggy at peggy2sims.net and xmsims.com Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc...

I was about to break down and ask when I stumbled across this thread. I never would have found it on my own. I am so glad there are people around who aren't afraid to ask questions or I'd probably never find anything out. BTW is that the same as the one your avatar sim is wearing? If not what skin is she using? It is so hard to find ones that aren't to shiny looking (odd highlights etc.) or Way to realistic (I don't need to see their pores) for my taste. Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Brynne on 2006 July 28, 21:17:48 Glad I could be of help!
My avatar was using the Paradise default skin (from MTS2, I think???). Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: kacidama on 2006 July 29, 13:49:39 I like Enayla's skins for a new default set. You can get her stuff at modthesims2.com I prefer RoseSims (http://www.rosesims2.net/) to PeggyFor hair I suggest Seomi from the same site. Peggy at peggy2sims.net and xmsims.com Seomi (http://seomi.zzo.net/) also has her own site Another site with interesting eyes is pimp-my-sims (http://www.pimp-my-sims.com/index.php?id=27) Neptune Suzy and Grizzelda's hair is fanastic here (http://www.ts2creations.com/) Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Hei_Chavorale on 2006 July 29, 15:35:58 Yeah A Pimp My Sims site...They have all kinds of sites to pimp stuff. Pimp's everywhere :D
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Diala on 2006 July 31, 02:15:49 I hope no one minds if I post a request here, but it isn't too off-topic to this. I am looking for this mesh (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sets?ID=290832). Helaene (http://www.helaene.com/hv12index.html) has a wonderful recolor for it, but you know TSR is not free. Feh. Anyone happen to have it?
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Jelenedra on 2006 July 31, 16:22:48 Yesssh, that's some big hair.
Title: Re: Skins, Eyes, Hair, etc... Post by: Diala on 2006 July 31, 23:04:56 It is. I don't care for the original coloring all that much, but the recolor of it is just what I need for a Sim project I have in mind.
