Removing Unused Parts in MultiAlpha Recolors?
aelflaed:
Re the LIFO - Great! that's surely better than including them and bloating the file for no real reason.
Thanks a lot for your advice, you're very helpful.
EDIT: Whoa! Just tried with only the replacement in Downloads...and no belly. Must have been masked by something else, although I did think I had checked that earlier. Maybe that was the previous version.
Outfit colours appear correct, but none of the sims have pregnant tummies anymore. Yes, I opened the package and pregbot is there under the Models tab. And I know the original custom mesh worked, although that needs a hack for everyday maternity wear. Which is of course missing just now, and perhaps responsible for making this replacement look like it is working. Or maybe it is becaues of the SHPE file being replaced as you suggested.
Perhaps I'll make another version with your method and see how that goes.

I made a attempt with extracting the propertyset and 3d ID files, gonna check em ingame.

I've done what I probably should have done in the first place - figure out how to remove the belt shadow in PainShop Pro, so I don't need any alphas! 3yay
Wasn't even all that difficult in the end, although maybe that's due to the sharp increase in my Paintshop skills during this project. A few days ago I couldn't imagine how to achieve that, which is partly why I've been chasing alphas. As well as just plain wanting to make it work. I hate thinking something should work, and finding that it just won't.
So I now have a new package, with just the GMDC and LIFO-replaced TXTRs in it. No other CC loaded, sims wearing the right clothes and with enormous bellies. And no shadows in odd places. Hurrah.
Should have asked you in the first place, if I had only known to do so. :D
I'll have to update my tutorial so it works properly. It would still be nice to have some of the accessories, but I can live without them if your attempt isn't successful.
BlooM:
I am still wondering if you have indeed created a default replacement because.
There are 9 outfits you have to fix the textures for.
Those maternity outfits do not show in bodyshop so you must fix the png's and import new dxt's with Simpe.
I also had a attempt and its not that hard after all, i did not use any meshes/textures and such just a matter of relinking.
Included is a default replacement for the afbodymaternityshirtpants_fall.
I included the propertyset because at first i thought i had to add the 3 extra subsets(noblend/alpa3 and alpha5) to it but the outfit and accesoires works without the extra subsets.
The propertyset you do need to find the correct 3d ID file, you find it by the matching instance number so i left it in.
So i only replaced the 3d ID file with the 3d ID file from the huladress from BV and my ingame pregnant sim changed outfit.
EDIT, also included a new mesh(my sexyfeet mesh) with pregbelly and the fixed noblend.(neckless)
Oh, i can not add attachements in here
just pm me your email if you want it
Note,
It is just one outfit out of 9, all others you have to do yourself.
And since the maternity outfitrecolors are randomly assigned to a sim you got to be lucky to get this outfit ingame. :D
Cool thing is that the mesh included is a replacement for the hula BV and will give all BV outfits sexyfeet and a pregmorph also

I PM'd you. I have a sim wearing the fall maternity already, should be easy to check how it works in my game.
I can send you my package in return, so you can see if I got it right. I believe it is, but then I believed that before. :-[
I'm not sure why you doubt the current one, though. I've replaced all nine TXTRs with new LIFO-sized images, and am seeing a variety of them in-game.
I have a mod to make maternity defaults appear in Bodyshop, but I haven't done the recolours likie that as Bodyshop wasn't giving me access to the accessory sections anyway.
What did you "fix" about the noblend? On the_mystical_one's mesh, the bottom of the lei sticks out funny on pregnant sims, which is one reason I wanted it gone. On yours it isn't doing that, but your belly is smaller. (Unless yours is just early pregnancy, mine are all in the last stage.)
Do I understand correctly, that you have made two new things - a recolour for the fall maternity outfit, and a replacement for the hula mesh?
