New link.  Thanks for the email to Myth.  Sorry.  4shared lost my file and I've been busy writing not playing Sims.  I know, there's new skins and eyes... eeek. 

3 skins and 15 eyes yes?  or were there more? 

yes I have, and that is a totally different approach than I was looking at taking.  If I must I'll use that method, but it is for seasons and above, and I'd love my solution to work in every game...  There's always more than one solution to every problem, no?  I think it's a genius of a hack though.

I was very careful to keep the internal numbers the same so that if someone was switching from Enayla's non-modded skins to these that the sims would retain their skins.  It should work the other way too.

I had theories that one could go above the 1.xx range.  Thanks to justmom to proving that.

My current project is attempting to take AllenABQ's photoshop layers and make costume makeup or eyebrow files that would show body hair, binned genetically so that blonde sims got blonde bodyhair and such.  I'm trying to lower the number of skintones that everyone has in their downloads with this.  But as it's something rather new and no-one else has done it, the project is taking time.

I'm glad that folks are finding this useful.

These are hairless, yes.  I'm working on cracking the body overlay problem   If I do then you'll have hairs that work like costume makeup.  That will make these hairless skins all the better...

LOL  I was going to suggest something a bit different.  Rensims has a beautiful alien default skintone.  It's not green. 



you can get it here: http://www.rensim.com/files.php?cat=30

If you still want one of Enayla's non green skintones as an alien default I'll need to know which one.  Note: I've got 3 new skins and 15 new eyes that Enayla made the last week of April to geneticize.  I'll get them done and added as soon as I can.

I'm not including Enayla's makeup, no.  I do plan on converting it to costume makeup and making it layerable (although I noticed that someone else has already done it, lol).  The Oneseries skins do not impact the default skins at all.  If you want to use any of the default skins that use Enayla's textures made by others there is no conflict with these skins.

One thing to be aware of, you don't want Enayla's original skins in your game at the same time you use the ones I've modded.  The internal values are the same and they will conflict.

downloading because yours look so much better.  thank you.

I didn't notice the pancakes were floating myself but I'll use the fix anyway.

The eyes are genetic but not NPC ready.  If you would like these eyes that way and don't want to make them youself I will modify them so that they do work that way.  There's a lot of eyes here, so it may take me some time.

Let's just say it was a gift...

I'd nominate SimSlice's cycle ot life stuff, but it don't think it quailfies as furniture.  I feel for anyone who spent their good money on the blinking crap. (there's no animation in it, the 'animals' just blink from one part of the screen to the other).  I was rather angry when I saw how it worked.  Bah.  Point and laugh if you want... 

that's very interesting!.  I think I might test that a bit then re-release my oneseries skins if it works in my game the same way it works in yours, Mens Mortuus.  It's is certainly worth taking a look at.

 

The normal genetic skins show up in CAS.

The NPC versions don't.

Changing the flag to 0x00000000 from 0x00000008 is an unknown to me.

What Madam Mim is doing with the NPC versions is fooling the game into reading them as if they were Maxis/EA made skins.  The flag set to 08 is what I think tells the game to use the texture on the body (while the face is set to 09) but I'm not entirely sure.  It's something I'm investigating right now. 

Maybe I'm not understanding you, though.

Did you take the NPC skins and change the flag to 00 from 08 and they showed up in CAS?  Or reverse?  I'll need to look at one of the NPC skins in that case and play around with it.

Perhaps Madam Mim will have a better grasp of what is going on.

Ohhhh...

This means that I can reduce my dowload folder and fit in more stuff!  Thank you!

So, if we was making new items could we compress them before offering them to the unsuppecting public?  Or would it be better to leave the files alone, and point folks to the tool?

   Your avi describes my reaction perfectly...

'tis the walls and floors I have on 4shared.  Did anyone want the objects?

Ah I'll upload them anyhow.

Same as you can get on Jak's yahoo group, with updated coffeemaker from here.  The game controller thing might be an older version so if you have problems with it just grab the new one from here.

I think it's everything... If not tell me and I'll fix.

PS... roof textures not included.

Don't know, but they should... it's gonna scare away the next generation when parents say "Disney Land!"

 
Yuck, just.. yuck.

Poor kid, scarred for life because he or she had to use a duck to potty train.

It's the "Venus" hair.

but I don't see the mesh for it at the graveyard either. 

There's no Sussi's in the booty at all, being as her 'pay' site is no more.

I'm sure eventually it will be uploaded to MTS2, if it isn't hiding there already.

This is the reason why I have no items by Peggy in my game:


While it looks okay in her pics... this free set is crap.
The other colors are worse:




Mind you this was her first meshing job for Sims2, but one would think that going back and fixing the footprint on the coffee table would just make sense.

 

I'm always helpful for those with kitties in their avies, don't ya know.

Happy to help.

Yeah, MTS2 has loads of stuff:

But what really gets me is how someone could do this (gag) :

to what is really a very nice set of meshes:

http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=55554

If you want the skins to be selectable, ie to show up as a custom skintone, you must have both the genetic version and the NPC version.

The NPC version does not show up as a selectable skintone. It is working correctly if you only have the NPC skins and there are no skins with a "*" to select.

Does that help?

Gee I like that ... lounge, yeah.

I mean, it's great for a psycho circus kinda theme. 

Modified to add:
At least Bootbrisket's stuff is meant to be disturbing.

The meshes are made well, or copied well, or whatever. 
Quality weirdness.
yeah.

I was holding off doing this but I think it's been long enough.

Please check out this over at Insim.

You can help out by sending a letter to the site's webhost.  I put the info in my sig.  When the site removes the skins that have been stolen I'll remove the info. 

Stolen skins have been removed.  I still hate 2-f0r-u... 

Thanks to this Enayla is thinking about leaving the Sims 2 community.
