View Full Version : Non default skins and extra dots

I'm trying to clean up my CC, and I've come across a problem. I find that in the game the custom portions show their custom icons, but also show the "default" dots as custom without the custom graphic. When I look at them in skininator, only the custom maps show up with none of the checkboxes checked. Any ideas what's wrong?

I'm confused... Can you upload a screenshot showing what you're talking about?

Here's a screenshot of what I mean. The only skin I have installed is Buffy V2 (http://therewasnothingleft.tumblr.com/post/17712057061/credits-neuroticrobotic-shyne). The green circles display properly and the red ones are the "junk" I can't get rid of.

In skininator, I've tried unchecking the types defined by the game, but no dice.

Did you try deleting your caches?

Many, many times, both manually and through CC Magic. First thing I thought to try.

it might stays as there are sims arround that still use the old cc skintones?

I'm seeing four skintones in the Buffy package, two using custom colors and two using EA default skin colors. Did you rebuild the package using Skininator and replace the downloaded one with your new one? You can open the package with s3pe and count the TONE files to make sure - one CC skintone will appear per TONE file.

I have no clue why there are five CC skintones showing up, unless you have another non-default skin floating around somewhere.

Getting rid of those extra tones didn't help any. I guess I'll just have to accept EA screwed something up. Wouldn't be the first time.
