Anyone want Enayla's Fanasty skins as Genetics? (Added Normal skins)

[witch]

Did I mention that I love you and want to have your babies?

How good are you with a turkey baster?

[MissKitty]

My sims aren't too discriminate with who they breed with, why should I be? 

How good are you with a turkey baster?

Now THAT is just wrong 

[dewshine]

*snorts*  LOL 

It must be the avie... 

Do I need to add that 'dewshine' is a girl?
In fact I have a sim here.  Want a pic?

Here's a link: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2172.0.html

But thanks for the offer, I love you too. *snicker*

(edit to add the s to dewshine)

[MissKitty]

That's all right. My sims aren't too picky about gender either, so again, why should I be? 

[Madame Mim]

If any one is interested my Enayla 'normals' and Dewshine's one series now have complimentary (or alternate) npc Available versions http://www.genensims.com/guest/MadameMim/skins.htm

[nekonoai]

Wow, custom genetics that actually function as genetics? I hafta get these when I get home! I'm tired of all the babies either having the mom or the dad's skintone. It just looks odd. I wants me some mocha children... etc.

I really wish I could get to genensims from work. Darn diocese and it's banned sites.

[miros]

I'm a little confused by the multiple possibilities...

If I want all the skins Dewshine has put in the "pixie" range, I need to use the NPC skins from Dewshine's page?

[seelindarun]

Just as an aside to be sure everybody understands each other, Enayla has used the term 'pixie' to denote shading and musculature of the skin, not colour, so normal-shaded skins in the usual maxis range can also bear the 'pixie' prefix in their names.

In any case, regardless of whether it's the normal or fantasy shades you want, if you want the skin available to newly generated townies/NPCs as well as born-in-game playables, you need the NPC Available version on Madame Mim's page.

Dewshine's pack at the top of this thread geneticises those same skins but only makes them available for born-in-game playables and in CAS.  Also, the specific genetic values differ a little bit. 

I have lost track so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want the skins available to NPCs, and also for yourself in CAS, I think you need both versions of each skin.

[dewshine]

You have that about right...

To use the genetic skins in the normal Maxis range you are better off using Madam Mim's versions if you also want the NPC's to use those skins.

If you want my Oneseries versions then you can also get a NPC version.  You don't really need both unless you want NPCs that use the fanasty skintones. 

My normal skins have slightly different placement in the genetic scale and they work fine, but using them along side the NPC versions that Madam Mim has made is use at your own risk.  The genetic values differ and neither of us know if the game will be confused or not.

Now here's another possiblilty: say you don't make sims in CAS... you only want or need the skins to work for in game born sims and NPC generation.  In this case you can use only the NPC versions. (Or at least I believe that is how they work). They will only show up using the 'randomize' button in CAS but your sims will still have a chance of being born with the skins. Note: the NPC only skins won't be selectable as custom skintones!

I hope that helps.  I'm currently working on a Oblivion mod but as soon as I can get my head out of the script I'm working on I'll fire up SimPE and get the newest eyes and skins done.

PS: Mim... there are at lease 3 new skintones released last week with full sims. They are normal range tones.  One is very dark, like deep dark chocolate.  Quite striking... Two of those sims also have new eye colors.   

[Mens Mortuus]

Three? I only saw two - Pixie Joyless and Pixie Shadow. Where's the other?

[dewshine]

Pixie Loveless, it comes with Annita.  She also has eyes called Goldlight.  I'm still working on the skins but I'll be adding the eyes in the moring. Loveless is lighter than Joyless and doesn't have freckles.

[Mens Mortuus]

Oh, I got confused because while the physical files are named properly, the thumbnails are both 'Pixie Loveless'. Silly me

[MissKitty]

I really like the Enayla Blue Midnight skin but Mim has it under 'normal' dark and I don't see it under dewshine's skins (I may be blind) and since it is sooo dark I would like it under my fantasy skin range.

Is that something that you could do or could you tell me a way to do it?

Thanks, even if you can't/won't help me. You already did so much.

Love

Kitty, dear... I used it as a 'bridge' of sorts. 
It's actually set to .99 in my system.  If you want it at that value rather than .97 .98 where Mim has it then download my version found in this pack:
http://www.4shared.com/file/10060042/9872d363/skin-genetic-Mediumdark.html
Setting it at 1.0 would mess up Pixiesteel.

But... if you only want that skin I'll post a link just for you.
http://www.4shared.com/file/14706709/2de267bd/Enalya-BlueMidnightSkin-genetic-VeryDark.html
Notice that it does not say "oneseries" but occupies the 'VeryDark' area instead.  Again it's set to .99


Also, I'm adding the 3 new eyes to the first post as soon as I get the pic uploaded to photobucket.

[MissKitty]

Thanks for catering to a fuzzy noob's whims 

[dewshine]

 

How can I not when your Avi cracks me up everytime I look at it?  That cat is so cute by itself but it taking the 'picture broken' symbol is just too funny. 

I've gotten the newest normal skins done.  Many of my choices match Madam Mim's but not all of them.  I think some of the skins are darker than she does...  I've marked the ones that match.  My .rar file includes some older skins that upon taking another look I realized were in the wrong spot.  Sorry no pic of those, but they follow the older pictures better than they did before.  I'm going to add the new collage and link to the rar to the first post now.

Done!

[nekonoai]

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when I tried to download the new eyes you uploaded today, it would take me to the 4shared page and then when I clicked the download button it tells me it can't find the server. 

[seelindarun]

Hmmm, it's happening to me too.  My browser thinks too many re-directs.  Too much traffic? 

[dewshine]

yes, that's what it does when there are too many people trying to download at once.

Three things you can do: 

Wait and try later
~or~
Snag them from my Yahoo group...
~or~
bitch and whine and maybe I'll attach them here... 

But don't think I'll do that for the skins.  LOL

[Madame Mim]

Thanks for the heads up on the new skins. I'll add them in this weekend (hopefully).

Yes. NPC Available skins might be used by children born in the game. You really only need both versions if you want to make CAS Sims with the skins and have them available for NPC's.

As for Blue Midnight - I may call it 'normal' but it is outside the normal range (0.10 - 0.90).

Hmm - blocked servers - I'll think about updating my Tripod page, but I'd still be using Genensims as the repository for the files and pictures, so I don't know if it'd help. *thinking* - I'll put it on my list for this weekend and let you all know if it actually gets done - then you can tell me if it even works.

[nekonoai]

Ohh, thanks for teh eyelink. baaaaa.

I put all the new genetics in my game last night, made a new couple... got her preggers... so now I'm waiting to see what pops out. I hope the baby's a cool color. haha. XD Mom is very light... and dad is a dark golden tan.

[dewshine]

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. 

[floopyboo]

Madame Mim, sorry to be a pain, but I'm a little confused about how best to use the npc-available skins. Am I supposed to download a genetic version AND an npc version or just the npc version?

If it is the latter, I'm still having trouble with the custom skins not showing up in cas except on the randomiser. If it's the former, just let me know & I'll go download the companion pieces.

And thanks for doing this - I cannot imaging how much work goes into this, but I do appreciate the results.

[dewshine]

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?

[floopyboo]

Thankyou. It was 5.30am when I finished downloading, so I thought I'd doublecheck because I was pretty sure that I wasn't doing it right.
