in game skin changer

[Poet]

 Is it possible, or does it already exist, an in game skin changer. Something to change neighborhood, NPC, or even a skin you realize doesn't work, or simply don't like, to another skin ie a custom skin?
I would love tp see something like this, if it is at all possible to make.

Christianlov has an ingame skintone changer on MTS.

I've seen the one on mod the sims, but it's not what I'm looking for. I want something to change whatever sim I'm playing, or NPC that happens along, to a custom skin from my bodyshop collection.

But thanks anyway.

The one that is currently on MTS2 has no skintones pre-entered. You have to use his scan tool to scan your downloads folder to load them into his skintone prototype. It requires a little knowledge of SimPE to make a clone  of the prototype and to give it a unique GUID, but it will then allow you to change any and all the Sims in your neighborhood to whatever skintone you desire. One suggestion I can offer is that if you have multiple skintones for the many bodyshapes like many of us do, I suggest you copy them to a folder on your desktop and then sort them by shape first, placing them into folders named for that shape and then scan each folder individually for the best results. I know it sounds like a pain and it is but the end result is well worth it. But just so you know there is a limit to the number of skintones you can include in a Skintone changer (I think it was 2500) and the change is not genetic. There is a tutorial here in the tutorials section to help you fix that.
