Male Sim Request: Mario

[mzlovely]

Hello all!
I have been searching just about everywhere for black entertainers and I have come to the conclusion that there aren't many.
So why not break this trend starting with singer Mario. I'd really appreciate if one of you awesome creators would sim him please! Thanx in advance.You guys rock! 

[fatedicewolf]

Ooh, he is handsome!

If you don't mind I'd like an attempt at him

I usually make Anglo-Saxons & Native Americans & a few Nigerians so I'd like to have a go at him

Mzlovely, let me take a moment to sidetrack this a bit to thank you for taking the time to find a good profile, 3/4 and full face shot. This will definitely make it easier for people to create a closer likeness. It would be great if more people did this.

Looking forward to collecting his face, fatedicewolf!

[mzlovely]

Thank you so much! I'm am practically in LOVE with this guy! You are the best!

@caffeinated.joy, you are welcome! It took me a few hours to find the perfect pics.

I'm going a few last details of him. He should be ready by tomorrow. By the way, MzDyme, great job on Trey Songz!

fatedicewolf: YAYYY!!! Once again, thank you sooo much!

mzdyme: You are awesome!!

Just wanted to let you know, I haven't forgot. I'm just having some issues with the skintone under the hair matching up with the rest of the body skintone

[MzDyme]

  THanks you guys...I thought about uploading them on here but didn't think they were good enough=/...but now I just might packages them up and share them if time permits me to...Oh fatedicewolf I totally understand I had the same problem when I was creating Trey Songz..it can be a real pain

Do you know how to fix it because I want it to look right before I upload it

[miros1]

I'm not sure where the scalp is stored, in the skintone or the hair.  I'd open up the hair with SimPE and  look for the scalp (just because it's a smaller file first).  I suspect it's not there, so you'll have to open up the skintone next. 

When you find it, export the scalp texture and the face texture. 
Open both textures in your paint program and sample from the face texture along the edge that doesn't match, probably the top of the forehead. 
Flood fill and save the scalp texture.
Switch back to SimPE and import the scalp.

Too many people don't modify the scalp when they make a skintone because it's usually covered by hair.

Thank you, Miros! I'll have it done by tomorrow. I have to study for a final tonight 

[mzlovely]

MzDyme, you should upload them! I would love to have Amber Rose.

ps:im studying for finals too

[fatedicewolf]

Okay, my SimPE has jumped the cliff!

It won't fix the hair or bin hair for that matter. Evil

But, a friend told me that sometimes Bodyshop's inconsistencies like skintone on hair vs. skin will fix in game. I think it's true because when Mario had red hair there was no skin under the hair mess up.

Here's a few Bodyshop previews:




By the way, I'm using Pooklet's Technicolor skintone (I think that's what it's called...)

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed the skintone under the hair, it works!!!
