Not waterproof,am I screwed?

[baclibra24]

Just found out my dl'd skin isn't waterproof.She (my sim) owns a business and has many friends.Is there a way to change skins without starting over?

[miros1]

Yes.  You can do SimSurgery on her with SimPE and Theo's plugin.  (Backup before performing this operation, naturally!)

You could also get an opaque shower so you don't have to see her change sizes when she's naked.

It's really easy to make a linked skintone.

1. Open Bodyshop and find a skintone that is linked to the mesh you want
2. Start a new project with it and name it something like "LinkedMeshUseMe"
3. Start a new project with the skintone she has now and name it like "Textures"
4. Go to the Project Folder, and copy all the .bmp files from "Textures" into "LinkedMeshUseMe"
5. Extract ""LinkedMeshUseMe" to the game
6. You're done!

7. Now all you have to do is create a sim in the game with the new skintone
8. Exit the game and start up SimPe
9. Give her sim surgery and change her skintone to be the same as the new sim you made

um...huh? lol..Can I have the "for dummies" version..or is there another way?

[Jasumi]

I could do it for you, if you want

Then give you info on changing her skin in SimPe?

[baclibra24]

for me? how?

[Jasumi]

-You send me the sim
-Tell me what body shape she has
-I send you the new sim

I'll link her skintone for you. But you will have to change her in SimPe yourself

[baclibra24]

Deal.Ok how do I send? what files and to where.

[Jasumi]

Enter bodyshop and package the sim. Then add that file to a zip drive. Then send me a pm with this file attached in your message.

Unfortunately, you can't do attachments through PM, so you may have to upload that file to Mediafire or any other upload site, then PM Jasumi the link to the download.  

[Jasumi]

Oh really? Is this a new rule? I've received sims this way in the past

[Tenshii~Akari]

No, I just mean it's not possible to attach anything to PMs.  Just the regular posts themselves.  Not a new rule or anything... just that there's no option available for attachments when it comes to PMs.  (Or at least I'm still not seeing one.)  :lol:

[Squinge]

You can insert a link to an attachment in a PM.
 
edit: Tenshii already said that, lol

[Jasumi]

Interesting. Maybe I'm confusing this forum with another one. lol My memory is bad like that
