For folks following along at home: BlooM and I took it to private messages to work out the details.  He built a bottom separates mesh that keeps the Warlokk detailing above the knee but still uses the block feet (appropriate for shoes) even with
Blooms_sexyfeetDefaultbottomoverride_Mesh.package
in place, and got it to me.  I am a Happy Man (tm).

I'll port over my old stuff, build some new stuff, and put everything up on modTheSims2 where folks with the old stuff can find it easily.

It also turns out there is a Warlokk mesh used only for "Everyday" clothing that replacing MESH_afBottomNaked_HiDetail_Default.package with Blooms_sexyfeetDefaultbottomoverride_Mesh.package changes: the 34" hips nude bottom separate.  Not a big issue, but there is at least a small installed base out there-- a few hundred people have downloaded an archive containing five such garments from modTheSims2 since December:



I can think of a solution, but I can't implement it alone:

(A) What I need from someone else is: a port of the 34" hips MESH_afBottomNaked_HiDetail_Default.package mesh to a new non-default mesh.  Nota bene: a NON-DEFAULT, STANDALONE version-- not a default itself, nor drawing its polygon specifications from whatever the installed default happens to be.  Call it MESH_afBottomNaked_HiDetail_Blockfeet.package , perhaps.  Since I'm on a Mac, the mesh file alone won't do me any good-- I'm also going to need at least one garment I can export from Body Shop.  It doesn't matter what the texture and alpha bitmaps actually contain.  Got any pictures of your cats you want to show off?  

(B) I'll then rebind the stuff from modTheSims2 thread 210687 to the new MESH_afBottomNaked_HiDetail_Blockfeet.package mesh, throw in some more skintight hubba-hubba type stuff to make it sufficiently interesting to people to that they'll probably notice it and want to grab it, and post it (with the new mesh) to modTheSims2.  

This should enable us to have the best of both worlds.  Anyone feel like tagging in to volunteer to build the MESH_afBottomNaked_HiDetail_Blockfeet.package and a garment to go with it?

(This is the same data as is in another thread, but I think it should be sufficiently useful to recoloristas that it merits the duplication):

With regards to building portable garment textures that avoid skin-colored toenails, it turns out there's a simple solution that works reasonably well for a wide range of skin tones: replace the solid white alpha with 33% grey, and cast a light pink.  (This works because nails are translucent white keratin over a highly vascularized nailbed.)  Illustration with instructions applicable to Bloom's 34Ce36 alpha dress mesh in barefoot configuration:



(Sorry about the crap photo, but I wanted to get this data out to people quickly.)

I, too, see little point in making 34Bn any sort of priority.  

I can totally sympathize that grinding out full body nude + alpha skirt meshes for (say) [34A-34De][32-38] to start with would be a exercise in tedium-- that's, what, 28 meshes?  24 if Bn gets ignored for now-- and even then, there's still 40" and the back-problem sizes still ahead.  But at least for me, such things would simplify generating portable sleepware with an appropriately mouth-drying va-va-VA-VOOM! effect.  Never in my life have I known a woman who routinely slept in something akin to a body stocking (although I'm sure such folk exist)-- but I have known some who made use of fairly sheer nightrobes.  (The Empire-waisted nightgowns are realistic, of course, but applying a sheer effect to them just gets you a flesh colored garment.)  (Incidentally, this is an argument against "alpha"s that don't sheer gracefully.  I tried netting-skirt outfits based on the hula mesh and the like, but they look like a woman wearing... well, a fishnet.  Not "fishnet stockings", an actual net-- as is, an skirt made from something last used to slaughter cod.)

It may seem odd that I'm not calling for more separates-- given what I'm doing over on ModTheSims2-- but you've already provided a plethora of meshes for that purpose.  Separates alpha skirts and trousers would be terrific, of course, but since so much of the game takes place in a domestic context and very few women put on a clubbing microskirt when rising at midnight to change the baby...  With or without heels matters little to me-- since all adult Sims are the same height, many of the high heel meshes I've seen look to me like the Sim is using prosthetics to compensate for having her calves blown off during the War.

Incidentally, a number of the 34A "fat" morphs already remind me of many of the nudes from the Renaissance - prewar period.    (See, for example, Moulin's Two Nudes Standing from around 1850.)

If you feel like knocking out one or two quick hourglass mesh specials just for flash and fun value, rather than beginning another slog, I've always thought that Biene's heeled nude Carnaval dancer mesh would be vastly improved by an appropriate traffic-stopping set of hips.  Until a scheduling conflict ensued, I photographed the local Carneval parade every year-- and a great deal of the charm was the acceptance of and joy in human-shaped humans wearing blatant costumes and dancing in the streets, unconcerned (at least for the day) with body image issues.  (The mesh I'm talking about is at

)

Pink marble T-shirt on the 34De mesh, plus a matching short skirt on 36 inch hips.  If worn together, they blend (nigh) seamlessly, looking like a dress.

Really, this wouldn't be worth posting-- but I'm just doing this so I have an excuse to say "Thank you" to Warlokk in my own silly way.  To that end: there are also novelty clothing versions of the underlying outfit, incorporating a bit of the image at

(I've set it up so the T-shirt has the jokes proper, so it can be worn with a different bottom.)

The files with "TribPlain" in their names contain the unadorned versions; the "Trib" files contain the silly ones.  (The "Trib" version of the skirt doesn't have much of the incorporated image, but it does have some.)  The LBG in the file names and tool tips is my alias' alias.

For what it's worth, the (feeble) joke is based on Dow Corning being most famous for manufacturing silicone gel breast implants.  (For a somewhat esoteric value of "famous", at least-- or possibly "infamous", given they ended up settling a class action lawsuit to the tune of US$3.2 billion.)

Wikipedia goes into more detail, of course:

What?  No poster on the wall advertising Dow Corning's medical device division?
