Custom Skin Shenanigans

[lea_hazel]

I was just playing my prosperity neighborhood, which is becoming increasingly plagued with custom skin shenanigans. To be honest, this time it was my fault. I use a bunch of Genensims colorful skins, and one of my gray-skinned playables and his S1 wife just had a red-skinned baby.

I'm not sure how custom skins are made, but I'm pretty sure some of the Genensims skins aren't textured correctly for babies. For the record, this type of scary baby is even scarier when he has violet skin. I suspect the fact that you can't create babies in Body Shop/CAS is part of the reason. At any rate, it's pretty annoying.

Anyone else want to share their custom skin shenanigans stories?

hah that is a scary kid. I haven't had any problems like that as yet. My fantasy skins aren't geneticised, but I've been temptd to do that.

Oh man, that's terrible! And hilarious!

I'm really picky about the geneticized skins I allow in my game, so I haven't had anything like that happen.

I never use geneticized skins anymore. I always edit them so that their inheritance is purely custom... I haven't had any crazy stories to tell, but I hate babies being born that don't look like mom or dad in some genetic way, shape, or form.

Although once, I had a sim-girl born with eyes that I didn't even find in my game at all (I'm pretty sure she was "missing" her eyes because when I opened up her skintone file, the eyes on the texture matched the ones she had in the game).

That's pretty much all really ^^

Oh, I heard about that. The alien black eyes aren't really eyes at all, they're painted on the green skintone. So Sims who inherit human skin and alien eyes show up with these weird, pale gray eyes.

I don't think they are - I use default eyes/skins in my game and the eye default is different from the skin default, and, on top of that, I've seen users with Sims who have non-alien skin and alien eyes.

I'm pretty sure it was just a different issue entirely.

I've seen users with Sims who have non-alien skin and alien eyes.

Yeah, there's definitely a hack for that, although I haven't tried it out yet.

Yeah, I've had a few babies born with the extra eye tiny face problem, and it's always from a custom skin. I just age them up to toddler and that fixes it. :) It don't bother me much, because baby sims are annoying anyway.
