Base Meshes & Linked (Maxis) Skintones

[BeosBoxBoy]

These are the basic full body (no-nipples) with and without the infamous bulge.
They are the absolute must for starting any bodybuilder collection. You
should download all of these, yes there are two versions of the nude that
are identical in shape but they have different GUID numbers, and since
there is no easy way to tell which version the creators out there chose to
use, it is best to have both versions.  The top mesh is the same throughout
so do let that over-write itself when you are extracting the files.

The skintones are not pictured, since they are just the Maxis default skins
"shower-proofed" to use the bodybuilder nude meshes.

Formerly there were two versions of these skintones - one linked to the bulge
version of the bottom, but it was obsolesced as we made versions with and
without plumbing.  The versions of the meshes posted here for the skintones
are non-bulge in consideration of Crammyboy's masterful hack.

SPECIAL NOTE TO CUSTOM CONTENT CREATORS: when making recolours of
the skintones, make sure to use the Dark version as your recolouring base,
Body Shop has a nasty habit of not including the face or scalp specifications
in the final project if you use any other colour.

Update 30 September 2006: Added bump-map enabled versions of the fullbody
with and without bulge - the new RAR files have "bump" at the end of the name.

[Intermagus]

Hi....first post here with a question.....can somebody point me in the direction on a tut on how to make these skins permanent to a particular Sim? So it doesn't get chucked in the shower and all that.

[BeosBoxBoy]

Intermagus - there isn't a tutorial because it is mind-numbingly easy - use a shower-proof skintone when you create the Sim.

You will need to decide on which version, and there are far to many too list them all here, and whether or not you want to use Crammyboy's hack or the version of the skintone that comes with its own plumbing is a decision only you can make.  In all the hard part for most people is deciding which version, and no one can help you there.

But remember - the "shower-proof" skintones have to be used and require meshes - and as previously stated are very numerous in variety.  But to start - just use one of the basic mesh versions above and give it a test run.
