Tutorial: Creating a Correlated Skin

[Phaenoh]

Either you've found my Correlated Skins thread (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=481205) in Bodyshop > Genetic Sets, or you cruise through Bodyshop Modding for fun. Either way, I'm glad you are here. I've discovered a way to link the skin tones to a hair color, effectively giving us 16 default skins for our game instead of 4.

Now, there isn't much reason for me to go through and tell you how to create your own package, all Correlated skin packages will be the same, and I've already created the templates for you. The secret is the line in the skins that says "hairtone: 00000s". I noticed it one day and tried putting a hairtone number in it, and wouldn't you know, something unexpected happened. It actually responded to the number being there. Most of the time, stuff just doesn't work. This time it did. Now, its not just as easy as changing that number, because it doesn't work if you don't have all 4 hair colors, and a default mod that will change the normal one. Then you have to make sure that every single property set is changed as well, and the skins need to be familified and labeled as S1-S4. That's why you shouldn't bother making the package yourself. I've gone and done it and made everything as user-friendly as possible, such as changing texture names from things like suf8923b58og_txtr to afface_txtr. You know what image you are supposed to put there when it has a good descriptive name. Go download my template from this thread: Correlated Skins the template you need is in the comments, under Templates.

Ok, you have your template sets? Next, you need a copy of the skintone you want to make into a Correlated Skin. If it isn't a skin you've created, ask permission before uploading. (You can do anything you want for your personal game, but please consider sharing if you can!)

I'm going to be using ganchi's Idolatry of Freckles Pale skin.

Next, decide which of the 16 Correlated Skins this will be. I'm trying to create a very freckled ginger skin, so I should use S1Red.

Open it up if you are not making an all-ages skintone. You will need to delete out all the resources pertaining to the ages you aren't going to create for. Lets say you don't want to add toddler skins. You will need to delete the 'pubodynormal' and 'puface' and if there is one, 'puhair', for Property Sets, Texture Images, Material Definitions, and 3D ID. All except the 3IDR will be easy enough to spot. For the 3IDR, you will need to click 'All Res' and find the 3IDR by its Instance number. It is paired with a Property Set. If you haven't clicked save yet, you will see your crossed out property set and just make sure you delete it's pair. Otherwise, find the ones that don't have matches anymore. There is a single 3IDR with a low instance number that doesn't have a match. Don't delete that one by mistake.

Then, open up the skin you want to use in SimPE. Export every single texture. It would be helpful to name them as you export them, so you can build the new skin faster.
http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/1/0/5/2/6/7/5/MTS_Phaenoh-1309406-EugenicSkinTutorial3.jpg

After you have all the skin images, open up my template and start replacing all the placeholder graphics with the ones you exported. Use 'Build DXT'.
http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/1/0/5/2/6/7/5/MTS_Phaenoh-1309407-EugenicSkinTutorial4.jpg

Navigate to your graphics and use Format: 'DXT3' and Sharpen: 'None'. Then click 'Build'.
http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/1/0/5/2/6/7/5/MTS_Phaenoh-1309408-EugenicSkinTutorial5.jpg

Then click 'Commit'. Click 'OK'. Do this for the rest of all the textures. When you are finished 'Save' and test it out in game.
http://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/1/0/5/2/6/7/5/MTS_Phaenoh-1309409-EugenicSkinTutorial6.jpg

Remember you need to have the other 15 skins in your game or they won't display in CAS correctly. You can use my Texture Referencing set until you have more of your own skins. The TextureReferencing skins will just pull your normal default skins, whether they are the Maxis ones or some pretty creator ones you have.

If your sims show up in Bodyshop with very bright and fuzzy outfits, that means you missed one of my placeholder graphics. Make sure that's the only one that's missing and then exit the game and pull up your skin in SimPE again and find the one that didn't get changed. Remember to 'Commit'. Remember to 'Save'.

Try it out in the game again. If it works and you'd like to share it, we'd love to have it here at MTS. Send me a link and I'll add it to my list of Correlated Skins! It would also be nice if we could keep the same naming convention going, so it's easier for people to find them in their downloads folder to make sure they have all 16. Name yours 'CorrelatedSkin_S#Color_YourName-SkinName.package'. Like a skin I make that is for red hair and pale skin with freckles all over would be 'CorrelatedSkin_S1Red_Phaenoh-Ginger.package'.

[Sunbee]

Well, I'm obviously in over my head, but hey, I can navigate the IRS' paperwork, so I'll figure this out eventually. Thanks for your patience.
My problems, as usual, are in using SimPE. So, I've got the txtr files extracted and I'm working on the which-is-which problem. There are thirteen txtr images, compared to twenty-four in the template. I think that different ages are sharing the same face. Is that possible? I have two faces (one has teeth one does not) and one face-and-body, which I think might be the baby. Four male bodies, four female bodies, and two texture-less rectangles. Has Hysterical Paroxysm done something especially brilliant to make these skins? http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=295764&c=1&ht=0&page=3&pp=25#startcomments I'm trying to use Adoration for S4Black.
I thought the way to see what I was doing would be to try putting them in and seeing what happened. (Question to self, worst that could possibly happen? Answer: reinstall windows. Okay, then, that I can do.)
Now I find I'm short Nvidia DDS. Gah. And Nvidia's down . . . wonder if cnet has it.

[Phaenoh]

HP has doubled up on some of her textures, maxis does it too (zombies all have the same face). The face without teeth is the baby, and you can use the other face for all the others. The face and body is the baby. I'm not sure what she did to get four female bodies. Usually each age has 3 (fit, normal, and fat) and the three ages look different in the chest area. Elders are saggy and teens are smaller. Child and toddler usually have a shorter torso and longer legs. That might be one of the male skins. What you should do is open up the Material Definitions for the different ages and see which number they are referencing. That's how to figure out what goes where.

You can go about it the simple way and just put each texture into the spots I've created, or (the better way) is to include the image once and change the matdef references for the rest of them. I wrote a tutorial about making a TextRef outfit (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=300954), the idea is the same. It's also possible to go the other way and add extra skin images. I tried to make sure that I included all that most people would use, but the hair is shared between ages, and kids bodies are shared between genders. To add another texture, clone one of the textures, rename it using the standard naming conventions, hit Fix TGI, use Build DXT to place your new image, Commit, and Save.

[Sunbee]

Okay, thanks. I think I've got the first part. HP has all males, TF through EM, using the same texture for fit and normal, and another for fat. The other two I thought were male are the child and toddler. The TF and AF share textures the same way, EF has their own two. One of the rectangles is all the hairs except TM, which is the other one. (Hair means top of the head?) One face for all but baby, baby face, baby body. Everything's accounted for. Thank you very much for helping me figure this out.
I'm going to have to reread the texture referencing tutorial when I'm more awake. It almost makes sense . . . I'm going to sleep on it. I love the idea of smaller files since I'm going to have more of them.

[juliejaz]

How do you apply infant clothing for the 16 different skins?

[Phaenoh]

julie, if you are just doing infant skins, download my infant hairs package and use that as your template. You won't need all the other ages, so it would be a waste of space to start with them. All you do is paint 16 different infant clothes straight onto their skins and follow the tutorial using those images instead. If you are asking about clothes that aren't on the skintones, I don't have that ready for you yet.

[juliejaz]

Thank you.

[Sunbee]

When I've changed the material references in SimPE, then do I delete the extraneous texture templates or just leave them alone?

[hodsh1]

Hi, this might be something I've missed or done wrong because I am such a noob at SimPE, but I noticed that in the template for S1 blonde the texture for the baby's body misses out the 'bu' in its name but in the Material Definition it references it as bubodynaked. Is this a problem? Although this is not so relevant to me personally because I am planning to use your baby skintones with the hair so as I understand it I am deleting the three baby textures from these templates anyway :)
Thank you for your amazing mod and helpful tutorial!

EDIT:
Another question - am I right in thinking in your templates all the ages share the same hair texture? I could only find one (uuhair). This makes sense to me because they wouldn't need to look different but I am converting skins from Starsims which has different textures for the elder hairs to the other ages, which share. The elder ones are a slightly lighter colour (and male and female are also different shades!) so I'm guessing this might look strange in game if they just use the texture for the other ages because it might not match their body. Maybe the idea is that their complexion pales slightly as they get older?

2nd EDIT:
Just noticed there are options for different elder hair textures in the S1 brown template.

[Phaenoh]

Sunbee, what you change the matdef, delete the texture.

hodsh, yikes that sounds like a bad problem with the baby body. I'll have to check that and fix it asap if there is a problem. As for the hair templates, I thought they had separate uf and um hair, but maybe not. It's easy enough to add in another texture though. Clone the hair texture, and then change its name to be something like euhair (elder unisex hair), hit Fix TGI, and then in the matdef files, change the elder hair files to point to your new image.

Edit: Fixed! Let me know if you notice any others.

[Sunbee]

In line with hodsh1's observation, in S4Black, afbodynormal and afbodycut have the same matbaseTextureName: ##0x5f879c45!afbodynaked-nude-s4 Which was, with the particular skins I'm looking at, more of an, oh, put that texture over there not over here thing.
S4Black looks nifty in game. Moving on to S3Black, and thank you so much for all your help with this.

[puppetfish]

In some of my skintones, I prefer them to be bald since that's what their species is. Will this force me to put hair on them?

I just went to download the DDS utilities and cannot find the download. Instead, there is a page saying they've been suspended due to hacking. Where can I get the dds to download? This is the page I get, http://www.nvidia.com/content/devzone/index.html and it doesn't allow me to search the site and find them.

Yeah, I found that last night, but then eventually did turn them up: I'd put them in a weird place on my hard drive. There are other sites which claim to have them if you search with google but I don't know if any are trustworthy. You might just have to wait for Nvidia to get their site back up.

My newest where did I go wrong: I'm not sure when exactly this occurred, but in testing S2Black, with the S3Black and S4black in the game (I'm checking the baby skins are right), plus the texture referencing files, I found that the other hair colors, the teen female face is greyish-white in bodyshop and has letters on it in game. Newspaper girl here is a brunette, I think.

[Phaenoh]

Crap. Ok, its fixed now. :)

No, you can make them whatever you want. If you want them bald, leave them bald. It's your skin. :)

Sunbee, if you don't have the brown color in your game, nothing is going to work. That's the file that changes the default ones. If you don't have the other skintones done yet, that's what the template textures look like on a sim! Keep going, it's not bad yet.

[Sunbee]

I thought that's what the texture referencing files were supposed to prevent--and do, in every other gender/age. I'm taking the pic down now you've seen it. I've got my four blackhaired choices done.
I'll work on brown tonight--after the calf is fed, the chickens are tended, the hotdogs are served for the 4-H kids, my mom's friends have safely gotten off the plane been fed, and stashed in an hotel, and . . . maybe I'll work on brown tomorrow, after all.

[Phaenoh]

I'm not entirely sure that the TextRef ones have the tfface issue fix in them or not. If you still have weirdness after the brown ones are done, then I'll need to look at stuff again for you. Maxis was dumb and linked teen female faces to the adult ones. I fixed that in my project, for the most part.

[puppetfish]

So does anyone know where I can download the DDS files, since the main site is only giving that hacked message?

[Sunbee]

Argh. All four Browns have only two material definitions: buhairbald and tfface. This is downloaded today, the 21st, because you said above that you'd fixed something in one. What did I do? Is there a tutorial for adding the others somewhere that I can follow?

[Phaenoh]

Sunbee, you don't need the other matdefs for the brown files. Just put your textures on top of the ones in the template. We are using the game's normal matdefs for the browns. Let me know if that doesn't work. So far, I think you are doing fine. :)

[Sunbee]

Mornin' Phaenoh,
Since I was replacing the matdefs, there's no textures there on most of them for the game to use. I mean, I have between twelve and sixteen textures, depending on which of these skins I'm using, so how do I tell all the faces except baby to look at the afface texture if there's no matdefs? Is there a way I can do that? Or do I just need to copy the textures in multiple times on the browns?

[Phaenoh]

Well, I think the thing to do there is open up the original game files and grab the matdefs you are missing. They are in Sim3D > Sim02.package in the main game files. Look for things that say afbodynaked, that's what you might need. You only need to pull the ones that will be sharing textures though. Let me know if you need more help. Are you saying that HP's skins don't have easy names? I thought we figured that one out already. Maybe post up your packages and I'll see what you are talking about. :)

[Vermster]

So does anyone know where I can download the DDS files, since the main site is only giving that hacked message?

I googled it and there was a download on the first site that came up. I was a little nervous at first, but checked it out and it seemed ok. I downloaded it and it is now working for me. Hope this helps!

[Sunbee]

Nope, you got it. I really haven't done anything like this before--followed Marja's default replacement tutorial, but nothing nearly this complicated.
So I can just copy the matdefs from the game files to the template I'm working on, and now I know where to look for them. I'll be back when I screw up something else or get confused again. I appreciate your patience. Edit: Oh, I see what you were saying. Some of HP's skins have more textures than others, so while Adoration has twelve, Innuendo has sixteen. I can figure out which texture goes to which matdef now, though, so that's all right. I'm learning.

Okay, one more quick question: base game or M&G Sim02.package, or something in-between?

[Phaenoh]

Basegame one should be fine. I don't really know why they kept doubling them up and including all the old stuff, but I've always used the basegame ones.

[TheSilverLining]

Ok, so, here's a question: Is it possible to do this with custom skins? That is, to create a package of one custom skin that actually contains four different skins (one linked to each hair color)?

The reason I'm asking is, yet again, my danged anthro Sims. I plan to try out your template for them this weekend, and originally I had planned to use mostly solid furry skins with some patterned (tabby etc) skins mixed into them. But today I realized it might be even more awesome to make a set of 16 solid or near-solid skins as my eugenics defaults and then make hair-color-coordinated bunches for the patterned skins. That way I could still have a chance of kids taking after both parents even with custom skins (for example, black cat + red tabby cat = black tabby cat) but without risking a patterned skin being produced by two solid-furred parents. I *think* I would prefer that system to having some patterns mixed in and some used as regular, non-hair-linked customs (even if it does leave me with the issue of whether and how I should geneticize said custom bunches).


So anyway... is this possible? If so, how? Thanks in advance!


Edit: You know, now that I think about it, it might be an option (provided that eugenic custom skins are possible) to use *only* custom skins even for the solids. That way I don't need to worry about, for example, a very light solid furred Sim and a lightish patterened skin producing a dark solid offspring... I don't use townies and only minimum NPCs in that particular hood so that wouldn't be an issue, so the only downside to that would be that a dark solid plus a light solid couldn't produce a medium solid which would be a bummer. Hmm... tough choice. I need to stop brainstorming about this until I know whether eugenic custom skins are even possible (with my limited coding skills, hah).

[Phaenoh]

Silver, I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't be possible, but you have to know what you are getting into in advance. By doing your own set, you will have to do all 16. Since they are custom, they will never work with any other set except yours. That's not the part you need to commit to though, in every single Property Set in each of the 16 packages, you will need to change the Skintone line, the Hairtone line, the Family line, and (since they are custom, maybe not) the Creator line. Each package has about 50 Property Sets, so 4*50*16= 3200 lines you will need to change. If you miss one, it's going to blow up on you in a weird way, usually in a way that won't help you figure out what is wrong. (Part of the reason this took me 2 years XD ) On top of that you'd need to create the textures for all of these, which could easily take you even longer. If you want to go down this path though, start by making all of your skins. It will be way easier to link existing skins than to create a template set and then try to figure out where all the texture files go via their matdefs. This does back us into a corner if it turns out we can't get custom ones to link, you'll have made 16 very pretty skins, but you'd either have to stuff them into my template or just use them as custom ones (I'd genetisize them at that point) Weigh your options carefully. I'm quite willing to help, as long as you are committed. :)

[TheSilverLining]

Ok, you've managed to lose me already. Not a good start, lol. To clarify: why would I need to do a set of 16? I thought the number 16 came from there being 4 default skins and 4 haircolors thus resulting in 16 needed combinations. I assumed that a custom eugenics set would consist of 4 skin variants since each skin would be linked to a hair color and there are four hair colors. Sorry if I'm being thick.

Also, *if* it were to turn out that it was possible to do with custom skins, would it be possible to create a template similar to yours for the defaults so that one could easily make a "set" of custom that look different depending on the haircolor of the Sim?

[Phaenoh]

Whoops, you are right, 4 not 16. You've lost me about the custom templates though. The great thing about the templates is that creators can mix and match. Would you need to be able to do that, or would you prefer to have multiple eugenic sets?

[TheSilverLining]

Sorry, I don't speak "mod" yet, haha.

Ok, I'll ask the simpler question instead of trying to sound smart. What I'm wondering is whether I would have to do the code changes from scratch for each custom quartet I want to do. Let's say, because it's easier for me to talk in anthro skins for some reason, I want to do a custom Tabby skin and a custom Fox skin (each in one shade for each haircolor). Could I do the changes to the Tabby skin, save the package and then copy the file and swap out the textures for the Fox skin ones or would I need to do the coding changes a second time for the Fox skin? That's what I meant by template: having like a texture-less file (I assume that's what your template is) that I could quickly drag custom textures into in order to make more hair-color linked customs. Just for my own benefit (though if there are others who want to do custom eugenics skins it's always nice to share I guess, hah).

I'm not sure I understand your questions, to be honest...



Oh, while I'm bothering you, I must ask: Is there any way at all around the elders getting the brown skin? I assume not or you would've done it yourself, but I just had to check. For human skins it's not such a big deal so long as I remember not to let the differences between the brown and the others be too big, but for my anthros I had planned to have 4 shades of red for the red hair, 4 blonde for the blonde etc so I would end up with red, blonde and black/grey Sims suddenly becoming brown. Though I just realized it ought to be possible to get around that by simply recoloring the elder texture to a grey fur that matches the hair so nobody would be able to tell that it's technically brown.

[Phaenoh]

In a very short answer; no, no, and yes do that.

The benefit of a template is that every skin made from the template will overwrite each other, or rather be mix and matchable within the set. If you want multiple custom sets of 4, having a template would not help you because you'd still need to change the skintone and family lines for each, and I don't think afterwards you could get them to not overwrite each other anyways. So, yes I finally understand what you are asking about and no you can't do it that way.

A, you are not bothering me. I just had to wake up a tad more to understand your question because I don't speak anthro skins very well at all. B, no. I've tried and it just won't work. The idea really is that elders should have grey hair anyways, so you wouldn't notice the color change. This should be fine for your furballs, it's not so fine for people doing ethnicities, Asian sims grow old enough and they become Caucasian?! wtf. This is what I am doing with my game, so believe me, I tried. :)

[TheSilverLining]

Hmm... that's a shame! Let's see, that'd be... 4*4*50=800 lines of code for each eugenic custom skin. Oh boy, that's quite a bit, especially considering there's several I would want. I wonder how long it would take... Still, *if* I could manage to find the time and patience to do it, I think it would be awesome to have (why does the idea of a brown-furred Sim and a tiger Sim producing a brown tiger-Sim make me so happy? lol!) so I will have to consider it anyway. Where's the shortcut genie when you need him? Hehe.

Well, I think I should start with simply using your templates to make a default set which would require a couple of recolors of Genensims skins to make sure I have 16 appropriate solids plus making the elder skins grey. Then once I've got that done I can think about if doing the custom ones will be worth it.

Yeah, I imagine that's problematic. I'm not sure if I'll go the ethnicity route exactly but I'm sure I'll still end up with Sims mysteriously getting paler or darker as they age, haha.

[Phaenoh]

Silver, I'm not entirely sure we are on the same page again. Assuming you are using 2 sets of custom eugenic skintones, there isn't anything to tell the game that their kids would be from a third set of custom skins. The best you could do is genetisize them, but then you still aren't guaranteed to get the correct skin. Now if you go back to having a 16 matrix, and decide that the hair color will decide fur color and that skintone with decide pattern, you could still do this. I don't think you could do it with custom skins though, you'd have to give up having 'normal' sims for it. You could of course have your S1 be 'human' and your S2-S4 be animals though. The bright side to that is you don't have to do any coding, just use my template. ;)

[TheSilverLining]

Wait, so custom eugenics skins wouldn't work at all? I thought you said they would? Now I'm confused... The way I thought it would work would be:
- let's say I have a eugenics skintone set for tigerstripes, comprised of stripes on a white, red/orange, brown and black/grey base respectively depending on haircolor. Let's call it Skintone C
- I make a Sim with, let's say, red hair and tiger fur, thus creating an orange tiger. So C+Red
- Said Sim has kids with a Sim that has, let's say, black fur and black hair, from my default set, so S4+black
- Following combos for Skins avaliable: red hair and tiger skin (C+red), black hair and black fur (S4+black), red hair + black fur = red fur, if I set the solid skins up that way also (S4+Red) , black hair + tiger fur = black with tiger stripes (C+Black).
That is, of course, if I geneticise this custom skin directly above S4. Not quite sure if I'm going to geneticize them or just have the customs all be dominant, since I don't want to many pattern mixups.
You're telling me this isn't how it would work?

If it clarifies things, I keep my anthros in a separate hood. So for that hood it's furs only, no normal skins. I'd like to use customs for my patterns since they can either be kept dominant so that the offspring always uses that pattern or at least kept outside the grid of the normal defauls, thus making it less likely for a Sim kid to end up with a coat/pattern that neither of the parents have.


Edit: As a sidenote, incase you know this better than I do: if a Sim has a parent with a fully dominant skintone (say a custom or Alien one) and one with a regular skintone, does said Sim still have the "gene" for the regular, non-dominant skintone? That is, could that Sim still pass on either the dominant or the regular/non-dominant skin to their kids? Slightly off topic, sorry.

[Phaenoh]

Ok, when in doubt, experiment. I created 4 testing skins, red and black stripes and patches. They are regular custom skins that I've edited the hairtone and skintone lines. The hairtone lines are reflective of the hair color, and both patches and stripes have their own unique skintone line that they share with the all the skins in that hair color. Here's the result.

I believe that you can make sets of 4 skins (one of each color), and you can breed them back and forth as you like. You are only held back by what skins you put in the game, and you aren't going to get 'legacy' skins, like a red and a yellow haired sims breeding will not produce a strawberry blonde.

I'll write up a how to about custom eugenic skins soon, but you can start by getting 4 hair colors of each skin pattern. I think our communication problem stems from the fact that we are speaking two different languages, I speak code and modding, and you are speaking anthros and furries. :)

[TheSilverLining]

You are a Simming goddess! :D I'm so glad this is doable.

Yes, definitely a communication problem. I'm trying to learn to speak modding but it's not going so well, hah. Anyway, I need to start by doing an inventory of what colors I already have and which ones I'll need to recolor myself. Not sure when I'll get around to it because I've got this assignment that's due soon, but since I'm so excited about it I might just manage to make time for it. Though I should probably start with the defaults...

Thanks again!

[Rava]

Phae, Phae, Phae! I just thought of something, that I wonder if might not help you.

The next thing on my list is to make a new set of default skins, but at the moment, I'm recoloring hair.

I was thinking about how all the skins have to share the same elder skin on the count of GREY hair. At the same time, I was ticked off, because I'm going to have to have 4 duplicates of the same hair, in the GREY bin. I don't want that, so I used CatOfEvilGenius' hair binner. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=434016 (Plus, her program also familifies the hairs.)


...Without using external programs, whenever you recolor a hair, it gets it's own gray. You can bin the hair, with Simpe but it still contains it's own gray in the file.

But with Cat's program you can,

A. Link all of the hair colors to a separate grey file.

B. Link all of the hair colors to, like say brown hair to draw the greys.

C. Leave them the same, each having their own greys, (which clutters up the hair bin).


I thought it might be worth looking into a way to treat the skins like hair recolor files, so each skin could have it's own grey?

And if anybody understood how the game references grey hair, that would maybe be Cat.

I don't know if this helps.

I do know that I don't understand!
