Title: Point me in the Right Direction Post by: MistyBlue on 2006 August 03, 14:51:13 I've been looking for a simple tutorial for making custom skintones...actually, I just want to make a skintone I already have available for all ages and genders. I've searched MTS2, TSR, and here, but all I'm finding is creating default replacements which is not what I want. Is it idiot proof, just cut and paste? Well, any help is appreciated.
And, does anybody know how to do default clothing mesh replacements? I want to make the maid and social worker uniforms into a different maxis outfit. Title: Re: Point me in the Right Direction Post by: blubug on 2006 August 03, 14:58:52 If you want to make custom skintones, not default, just go in to bodyshop, start a skin project, cut and paste, color in, a little photoshop tweaking. It IS dead easy. I did it in my first week of bodyshop.
As for mesh replacements, I have noo idea :D Title: Re: Point me in the Right Direction Post by: tIIsuggas on 2006 August 03, 15:17:34 This is ironic
I have just finished a tutorial on basic skin re-colouring. The resulting skin tone in the tutorial is green, but could very easily be another colour. It does not replace defaults. I used a free paint programme called paint.net, but if you are familiar with another programme, I suppose you can adapt it to yours. The link is in my signature. It hasn't been tested by anyone yet, so feedback is appreciated.

Title: Re: Point me in the Right Direction Post by: MistyBlue on 2006 August 03, 17:33:08 Thanks for pointing me in different directions.
I know about paladin's npc replacer, but that replaces the whole npc, I just want to do the outfit. I hate that the maid looks like she's coming over to do the husband instead of the housework and the social worker looks as if she lives a life of celebacy. It's alright, I'll figure it out. About the skintone. Does that work for all ages? I have the skintones already...from the simsi, but he seems to believe that his models will never have children, especially the opposite gender. I would be ok with it, but he uses maxis skins and I find those horribly ugly. I'm just trying to make his fabulous skins available for all ages. Silly me, I thought I could just cut and paste, but all the faces and bodies are different sizes.
