Naked Sim = Floating Head grrr
danceswithwands:
I am soo tired of making these great sims only to get them in game and and see that as soon as they hop in the shower (or get nude in any other way) that suddenly... they are just floating heads. :mad:
I've always tried to be sure any custom sims I've made had showerproof skins... but apparently not everyone is as worried about that when they make a custom skin. sigh.
Is there a way to change the sims skintone in game- or will that even fix this?
I never know which custom skins are going to have the "floating head" syndrome until it's too late. lol
If anyone can tell me how to fix or avoid having floating heads in my game I'd be quite appreciative. ;)

Oh come on now, someone must know something...
What about the skintone changer by christianlov? will this work to fix the sims I have in the game that are already- heads?
:-\
rwills:
Floating head syndrome is usually a sign of a missing or incompatible or corrupted mesh. Or possibly having more than one default replacement skintone mesh at a time in the game.
Some mods (like christianlov's or the potions at genensims) allow one to cosmetically change skintone in-game.
However, to make any skintone change genetic you have to use a separate outside-the-game third-party tool such as SimPE.

Egads- was afraid of that.
I don't know why I am so afraid of sim PE.
It seems sooo complicated. LOL
Thanks for the reply. :)
I've noticed it's mostly the cc I've downloaded for the body-builder ish sim guys.
Guess I can play them skinny for a bit til I've sorted it all out. ;)
kinnika:
Don't worry. You aren't the only on who's squeamish about using PE. I have been procrastinating using it, too.
About the BB skins... are they Beosboxboy's? I know I have his and there hasn't been any problems with any of his skins.
danceswithwands:
Hmmm- I know I have some of his skins- but the two that are giving me problems right now are from some sims that I downloaded... the creator of both those sims claims that he did the skintones himself. They are just fine until you get in the shower- then POOF just a head. lol
I had figured out how to link the tones when I made some sims for other people- I had some that were not showerproof and I was able to fix them...
Problem is... I don't recall now how I did it! :-\
I will play around with it more later... for now I'm working on simming some requests and don't have time to play with my sim heads anyhoo! rofl
