Title: Xhairy Black on modified Louis' skins
Post by: jwilson5 on January 20, 2007, 05:28:40 pm
These modified Louis (simcribbling) skins have black hair on 5 different skintones. There are skins for both the normal Maxis male and Marvine/BBBoy's marvelous slim bodybuilder shapes. If you want to use the slim bodybuilder skins you must download the mesh file "meshes_ju-beos_slimbb-barbie.rar" provided below. Thank you Marvine for this great body mesh.

The females are Louis originals with only the upper body modified and realign to Warlokk meshes (not required for these skins to work). No other changes to the female skins were made. See Louis' skin policy here: http://louis.new21.net/. Many thanks to Louis for her lovely skintones.

The Xhairy has medium black hair on the upper chest, upper + lower abdomen, thighs, arms and legs. This hair pattern is slightly different than the Xhairy red skins I have in another thread because I like to mix things up for more realistic looking skins.

I used a mixture of AllenABQ's hair transparencies and my own modifications to create these. My thanks to AllenABQ at http://www.insimadult.net/forumdisplay.php?f=408.

There are defaults of the maxis size skins[/B] in various combinations, choose only one of each (S1, S2, S3 and S4) for a set of four. Just put them in your download folder. Make sure you have no other custom default skins in your download folder or these will not work. When you no longer want to use them, remove from download folder.

I would love to have these in defaults. I use louis skins as default in my game, so it would be great to have the hairy guys as defaults and the females the same as they usually are. Any chance? :D

The females in my sets are not like the original Louis skins. I modified and realigned the upper portions to line up with Warlokk's meshes. But they work fine on regular Maxis shapes.

As requested here and at Modthesims2, I have made defaults out of the normal maxis sizes.

Added xhairy black on light skintone and made some new default alternatives as requested by Dese.

Hi jwilson5 its me again :) well im here to report a couple of bugs sorry...the dark tan skin for adult males has the same skin for the fat/fit/nude skins. Also for all of the skintones the adult young adult and teen male bald head color is completely different than the face...so i don't know if thats how you designed them but i would deeply appreciate the changes :D

I checked the dark tan and you are correct, the males have the same skin for fit/norm/fat. Sometimes it get confusing jumping back and forth between files creating things. However, I am unsure what you mean by bald heads different from skins. Are you just talking about the dark tan skins because I didn't find this problem in the file or are you talking about another skin tone? Give me a specific file name to look at please.
Thank you

on all of the adult, teen, and young adult male skins (light,tan,drktan,dark) the hairline (file name ...amhairbald??? something like that...) is like a different tone than the face....

it might be just me, or maybe the pets patch but i dont know....
i do really like your skins though, they are the best for males out there...:)
and i understand your confusion going back and forth trying to remember AM..af...tf...cut, no wait soft...lol :D

"on all of the adult, teen, and young adult male skins (light,tan,drktan,dark) the hairline (file name ...amhairbald??? something like that...) is like a different tone than the face...."

Math-u,
Your picture was quite dramatic. Good job.
I went through the skins in my bodyshop (no pets) and only noticed this:
1.) tan: the adult male scalp is slightly different than face
2.) dark tan: the elder male scalp and face slightly lighter than skin
3.) mid: adult male scalp slightly lighter than face.

If I remember correctly these are the way the original Louis' skins were made. However, to make sure that this is the case I am going to redownload all of Louis's skins and check them out in my bodyshop. Perhaps, you could do this also and see if you see the same problem in your Pets bodyshop. The skins are at modthesims2 under louis' alias "REN".

I do recall at one time trying to fix the Louis scalps but couldn't get the correct colors between the top of face and back of neck to match up to scalp so I gave up.

The picture you took, was it one of the custom skins (need exact shade) or was it one of the defaults? Defaults are made differently than custom package files?     Thanks for you help.

Ok before we get lost i'll explain my situation.....
I'm currently using your light(not mid), tan, drk tan, and dark DEFAULT skins. I'm only using the male skins from you and Enaylas female skins.
The picture i took was of the dark tan default skin, but its happening on all of the tones.
So, i also tried to fix the scalp thing myself but i wasn't too sucessful..

Oh and i was wondering if you had fixed the dark tan fit/fat/nude skins yet...

Math_U

So you're saying you created your own defaults skins using mine for the males and enayla's for the females?
I downloaded and check Louis' original skins against all of mine and all the scalps are correct. None of them look like the picture you included here. It appears that the defaults you created may have the scalp files mixed up. You need to replace these scalps with the correct ones.

Your best bet is do a "create genetics" in bodyshop using the original defaults I created or download Louis'. Do each color you need, then in the projects folder, save the scalp files for "AMhair" and "EMhair" as "PNG" files.

In SIMPE, open each of your default files. The scalp file "umhairbald" is used by both teen and adult male. The "emhairbald" is used by elder male. Click on the "umhairbald" file, right click, choose "build DXT", "open", go to the project folder, open file for the appropriate skin color and choose the "AMhair" scalp PNG file your created. Hit build, it will take a moment to retrieve the image, then hit commit. Save. Do the same for the "EMhair" scalp. Do each skintone and this should correct your problem. If not, Pets is to blame.............hee, hee.

Yes, I have fixed the norm/fat skins in the dark tan custom and defaults files and have uploaded them here. The SLIMBB is uneffected as it has no norm or fat.

I have a question in regards to the default skin tones. I'd yet to use any default skin tone replacements, though I am glad to know they exist, but I am curious about the color of the body hair. I had assumed you had a default skin tone replacer for each hair color (which in hindsight seems like it might be impossible), but wondered how it'd know what color hair each sim has. Using this default replacement, I'm happy with the results, except on the blonde Sim I'm playing right now. I'm just curious if there is any workaround for this that I am overlooking. Thank you.

Kevin, sorry it took so long to answer you, I have been playing with the new EP.
You are correct, there is no way for the game to know a sim's hair color and attached the same hair colored skin to it. That has always been a dilema in the Sims. That is why so many of us use custom skintones instead of relying on defaults for our sims. I have a another set of defaults that have less hair but nothing that is blondish. The set on this page has strictly black hair.

 AllenABQ has made multiple skins with various hair colors in the past. He currently has a home at insimadult.net. However, they are not defaults.

To answer your question, the defaults will look like the pictures here no matter what hair color the sims have. I will be working up some other skins and hair combinations in the future, perhaps one of these will work for you. Maybe something with a more nordic look to it.

Hi there, I have a suggestion. I have found that the brown haired men's bodyhair seems to suit all the haircolours even blonde and black. I have some Maxis defaults with brown hair and it looks great on all hair colours. Please let me know if  you will make some like that in the future, cause Maxis skintones are a teeny bit borring. But I want the hair, so I must just live with them :laugh:

I am finishing up a red hair huge bodybuilder set right now but I have been working with Nagel brushes in photoshop to get a better look to the lighter hair. I am working towards a set of lighter haired Louis skins. Keep an eye out for them in the future.

You have to dowload the "Meshes" rar file I also attached to this thread to get showerproof slim body builder. Also you have to go download slim body builder outfit and dress these guys in them for the shape to show.
