Title: Custom content help
Post by: chilislavecutie on August 18, 2007, 04:21:18 pm
I have downloaded a few outfits, hairstyles, and eye colors from this site to use in my game, but I can't find them anywhere. I do have custom content enabled because I have both the insimenator and the inteenimater and those work just fine, but I just don't have the other downloaded items. What am I doing or not doing to cause the above mentioned items to not appear?

Make sure the Downloads folder starts with a capital "D".

Yes, the downloads folder starts with a capital "d". The things I downloaded from here are in the same folder as the insimenator and the inteenimater, so they should work right?

As long as you extracted them from the .rar file and have any required meshes, you should see your CC when you go into Bodyshop, CAS, Change Appearance from the mirror, or go to buy new clothes.

Well, I am somewhat new to custom content so I'm not quite sure what you mean by meshes, but I do know that I cannot find my custom content anywhere, except for the insimenator and inteenimater. Maybe it's just my computer...?

Take another look at the posts where you downloaded the clothing and hair.  If it requires a mesh, it will tell you and usually a link where to get it.  Some clothing, hair, and other objects require both a mesh file that gives the shape, and a texture or recolor file that gives the color.  You need to have both for those to show up.  

The eye colors should show up for you now.  Look in the part of CAS where you can change the facial structure.  Click on the icon to change the eyes.  The top of the window should have the eye color selector.

I guess I just don't understand what to do, but it's fine. So long as I have the insimenator and the inteenimater, I'm satisfied. However in response, these outfits didn't require a mesh, and I still can't use them.

But as I said before, no biggie. Having all the custom clothing, hair, etc. etc. would be a nice change of pace, but it's not something I feel I must have in order for maximum gameplay. Thanks, though, you've been helpful even though my simple mind doesn't comprehend the things you're telling me!
