These are great! But I am having one small problem. When the sim wearing these goes naked to take a shower or bath, the make-up switches to one of the standard facial make-ups.

How about a animated starfield effect. an insect grid, and maybe go over to a freaky contact website and see what has been done...

Hi, thanks for that. I'm looking into this - I don't know why it happens, I do save the eyes as enabled for 'Naked', but something is causing the 'Naked' category to become disabled when the package file is saved. Thankfully, at least they automatically change back into the eyes when they get out of the shower/bath, but it is a bit annoying! If it can be fixed, I'll upload a fixed version of the files.

Phew, this is now fixed - please redownload!

When you make the sim in CAS, do these contacts save with it, or do you have to re-apply the contacts every time you open it up? Also, by the sounds of it, these actually stay on the sim when he showers? Mine didn't revert to default make-up, they just came off

Interesting slant on these, anyway. Good job

Please don't PM/IM me with requests

Yes, the contacts save with the sim in CAS - when you save the sim to your Sim Bin, the contacts stay on. Yes, the new fixed version stays on - with much head-scratching I found out why they were changing and they should all work correctly now. The ability to make contacts is a brand new discovery and it's a good thing that was the only teething problem they had! (You were lucky yours just came off - mine were both coming off and gleefully changing into the clown mask in the bath!)

Cool I've been wanting to make the Seraphim from Sacred 2 and she has white eyes with no Irises or pupils. Thank you. Good work.

Beautifully done, but I'm having a slight issue. I installed all four files (using Install Monkey, I should add), and the Indie Stone Compatibility Checker is telling me that they are incomplatible with themselves. I'm not sure how that works or if it's just ISCC being goofy, but I'm a little leery about using the downloads now. Has anyone else noticed this, and is it actually worth worrying about?

Oh, nevermind. Apparently, it is just ISCC, and the problem isn't limited to your contacts. So changing this to a thanks post. ^_^

Thanks, glad you figured it out! These are really only Costume Makeup recolours, there's no modding involved, so they shouldn't be incompatible with anything!

Ok so i put these in the folder, and they show up in the costume makeup section in CAS but when i click to apply them to my sim the red arrow appears on the box but no matter how long i wait the eyes don't change. Sometimes they go dark but thats it, they won't change into any of the contacts i select.

Did you set all three colours to white in Create a Style, as instructed in the Overview? That's pretty much always the cause of what you describe - the lenses look black-ish until you set all colours to white. The new lenses I make no longer have the problem, as I've now discovered how to set all colours to white within the package file, but my early ones like these, still require them to be set manually.

Yay, thanks for these. Thought they were replacements originally till I saw you mention them as being only contacts - that & the fact the glitch has been fixed, now i can use 'em. Much obliged...

Thank you for making this! Any chance one could be made without the shine? I am trying to go for as much opaque as possible but this is great as is of course.
