Information (Click for more details):

Picked Upload Maxis Recolour

I'm surprised no one has made these already, but I really wanted some facial piercings for my sims so I went ahead and made some myself. At the moment, I don't believe there is a way to layer makeup, so I created both each piercing as it's own mask, and also a few combinations for variety. These are found under costume makeup, and they are recolorable so you can have tinted metals. However, since they are made from a costume makeup, you cannot apply patterns to these. They are made to look like metal, so unless you make them black, they are going to always have that metallic look.

Piercings include for both male and female:

septum
bridge
snakebites
monroe
lower lip
snakebites, bridge, & industrial
snakebites & septum
snakebites & lower lip
bridge & septum
all piercings
all piercings except for monroe

I know people are going to make better ones, but these are just to hold me (and you) over until they do :]

Some Issues_______________________
Because they are fitted to the face, if your sim has extreme features, the piercings may stretch and become distorted. This is most noticeable for the bridge piercing on males and females and also for the septum piercing on females. The female piercings are distorted much more easily than the male ones for some reason, I guess female sims have more distinct faces. Also, the industrial piercing on females looks a little squiggly. I tried my hardest to make it straight, but it always ended up distorted. The industrial looks fine for males though.

There seems to be an issue where when your sim showers, the piercings revert to one of the standard maxis costume makeups, even when the category "naked" is activated. This seems to be an issue with a few other downloads on this site and I dont know if there's much I can do about it at the moment.

These work for all outfits, teen through elder.

Notes_____________________________
The black lobe piercing you see on the male model is not part of the set -- it is a maxis accessory item and you all already have it.
To clarify, the septum piercing is noted as "nose" in the file names.

Model credits_______________________
Models are my own. They are seen wearing Aikea Guinea's replacement skins and my custom replacement eyes.

Juushika Redgrave Test Subject Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 2	Similar to emilyelle's comment: My male sim, wearing the snakebites and lower lip piercing, had his piercings turn into the purple squiggly costume makeup in the shower. I don't mind overmuch--I mean, sure, it looks silly, but it's a bug I can live with because awesome piercings the rest of the time is more than enough of a payoff. ^_^ But I thought you might want to know. Thank you for these! ETA: The next shower, it turned into the clown makeup. Which in a way was actually quite amusing. But my point is, it doesn't look like there's any pattern into the replacing costume makeup.

amvalvo Original Poster Lab Assistant Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 152 Thanks: 13824 in 58 Posts	Juushika Redgrave - hmm, odd, I used the purple squiggly makeup as a base for these. I'm pretty sure I checked off the naked and all categories when making these, but I''ll go back and see if I can make it stop doing that today. dominique.x - are they just not showing up under costume makeup? Sometimes (for me at least) the thumbnail for newly imported content is blank but clicking it still makes the content show up.. Did you check in your packages folder to make sure they installed in there? whyisitnotvalid2 - I might have to do two sets for all this stuff, haha! But those are like a lot of requests so you'll definitely get the lip ring and I'll try for the other stuff :]
