ETA: Just checked it out - it works with Teen Style! Cheesy


Oh my God!  I could kiss you right now!  I just downloaded it and tried it out, and - IT WORKS!  I was finally able to rid my poor sim of that Warlokk-linked skintone she had! Cheesy

*gives Sadie a huge, wet smooch*

Thanks, guys! Smiley I'll try to get some more like her up in the near future.
19  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / Were did you get your sim names from? on: December 12, 2007, 01:52:59 pm
God, I'm glad someone necro'd this thread!  I've always had a hard time with names.  Coming up with names for newly-created sims hasn't been too difficult, as long as I remember which surnames have already been used in my neighborhoods and try not to duplicate one.  But coming up with a name for a newborn sim is much more difficult.  I think the suggestions given in this thread will really help me out.

Heh...  Exactly which customers are they listening to???

Wait...  Mr. Humble came from SoE's Everquest studio?  Say no more.

I think you can have multiple sublevels since Nightlife was released.

Oh, I am soooo definitely going to get this!

But I'm definitely not going to pre-order (and pay the extra money for the "privilege"...

I'll wait until the pre-orderers get the bugs worked out first. Wink

I had some trouble with sims birthing once. the woman was having triplets (the hack), and first/second baby went as normal - until the third baby. after birthing him, she started all over again, babies disappearing one by one, while she birthed them over again. and again. and again. and again.

*cringes*

Although, as much as I feel sorry for that poor mother, can you imagine being one of those babies - getting squeezed out, only to be shoved back in to go through it all again? :smt103

Seems that EA is cranking out the EP's/SP's just entirely too quickly these days (could explain the quality problems BV had initially).  At the rate this is all going, Free Time will be out, thus delaying SimPE even further. Sad

I did a lot of digging through my sim and all my skintones in SimPE and found the problem skintone.  I traced the skintone as originating on SXS2, and - sure enough - it was Warlokk-linked.  So, I downloaded the required meshes, and all is well.
 
I had been avoiding Warlokk (and other custom) meshes because they require special clothing, and it's hard enough keeping track of what I've got.  Trying to also keep track of what clothing works specifically with which body type would be an absolute nightmare.  I don't know how others manage it.
 
Anyways, thanks for the help, guys, and especially to Miros1 -- She nailed it perfectly!  I guess the only question I still have is why DDO didn't flag it as an orphan...

I would really like to know what is in the Sims' coffee (and why can't I have some)?  Every chance my sims get, they will head over to the coffee maker and drink cup after cup...  I had one sim go into bladder desperation, did the whole crossing-her-legs things and - instead of going to the bathroom, she got herself another damned cup of coffee!!!
 
I left my game running one time while I took care of something else.  I was only away from the computer for maybe thirty minutes, but when I got back, the floor was covered in pee and coffee cups - and two really wired, smelly sims in the process of having another cup!

Good to know!

I downloaded it and looked at the readme files.  It appears this program doesn't actually change the skintone - at least, not permanently.  Any kids this poor woman has will have the flawed genetics.  But, it might help me until a new SimPE comes out.  Seeing disembodied heads floating into and out of the shower is just twenty shades of creepy!
29  Simmers' Paradise / General Sims 2 Discussion / Skin Problems on: December 10, 2007, 09:39:28 pm
As far as I know, the skintone in question uses the standard Maxis mesh, although it wouldn't surprise me if it were Warlokk-linked.  The skin displays just fine with "naked" clothing...

I really wish a VB version of SimPE would hurry up and come out.

Okay, guys, I need some serious help here!

I was playing the Sims the other day, playing a couple of sims I had created recently.  Both are using custom skins, and I no longer know which skin was used on either of them.

Anyways, one of the sims went to go take a shower.  When she got undressed, her entire body from the neck down disappeared!  I had this problem once before, a long time ago, and I tracked down and removed the bad skin, forcing the sim to take on Maxis-default skin, and all was well.  Now, however, I have entirely too many skintone files to be able to do this without spending an inordinate amount of time and pulling out all my hair.  To make matters worse, SimPE cannot open my neighborhood file, throwing no fewer than 450 errors before I gave up and force-closed SimPE.

So what I need to know is:  How can I identify exactly which skintone file is being used by a particular skin?  Also, is there any way (hack, mod, whatever) to replace a sim's skin in-game?

On a semi-related note, I have also noticed that, with very few exceptions, most of my sims have significant graphical defects, particularly in the chest area.  These usually only show up when a sim is undressed, but in many cases, they even show up through certain clothing.  These defects show up as weird-shaped "holes" in the sim that I can see right through.  Anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks bunches in advance for any help you can give.
