Theraven's crazy collection of simmies (11.June 20 - TS4 sidetrack)

[soulofthesea]

same baby, different people holding them? in other words, photoshopped?

[Theraven]

Not photoshopped - it's almost straight from the screenshot programme (I ONLY cropped and shrinked it)

[Katie]

The... pacifier?

[Theraven]

(Is it really that difficult to see?  )

[Katie]

Um... two more things...

guess: maybe did you use diefferent meshes on them?


Maybe in that pic we just can't tell?

[ImpishParody]

You have three infants all using different infant default replacement meshes!  

PS.  I haven't commented in a while but I'm IN LOVE with all the new stuff you've brought out  

[Theraven]

Spot on (almost, at least )

Two meshes, in combination with the skintone changer

[Katie]

Huh?  I was wayy off then.... I was about to guess that you had the diaper mesh on them still in this pic.... oops.

[Theraven]

I've actually "known" this was possible for a long while. I just never figured out how, until I learned to extract meshes a few days ago.

You see - there are in fact two infant meshes that can be changed ingame: the diaper, and the naked mesh (for diaper change and bathing). The baby girl in the dress is using a regular diaper override, the two in swimming suits are using the special "naked" override mesh, combined with a skintone changer (I so need to learn how to make my own skintone changers... I just recolor the textures  ) and the insim wardrobe adjuster (changing their outfit to naked).

I'll try to figure out if it's possible to add a texture to the naked mesh, but for some reason I doubt it... Though, it's brilliant together with skintone changers, since with this you can ALSO use a regular infant override (or another mesh, for even more combos)
(Only possible problems are of course that the baby will wear that outfit/mesh when bathing or changing diaper. And you'll also need a blur remover... )

[ImpishParody]

Aaahhhh!! You're a genius xD
I would NEVER have thought of that 

Thanks for the info on this; I'm not much of a creator, so I'll be waiting for someone else to bring something out that's idiot-proof for me 

[Katie]

Holy... I can't even think of a good word!

I HAVE to do that! Your... genious! I mean... how!?

[Theraven]

I was never really happy with the preemie mesh I made earlier. Now I've upgraded them - to the point where they can't get much better.

The mesh is the original baby mesh (!), with parts from my infant hospital outfit. Recoloring the skin is a LOT easier (can use extracted skin tone files and eye colors to recolor, with easy drag-and-drop function), mesh parts instead of textures (it's also possible to "delete" any of the mesh parts through the texture, including the diaper), and the smaller versions are slaves to the biggest original mesh, so they draw textures from it

(Guess who haven't done much schoolwork today  )

[Katie]

I'm guessing you? Ha, me neither, I wrote for my story in classes today lol

Yay, those look amazing! Are they floor heigth, for use with OMSPs or are they the same heigth as the other babies that go into the certain deco cribs?

[Theraven]

Floor height. I find that a lot more practical

[Katie]

Me too, so that way you can set them in any bassinette/incubator you want
