12th Jul 2012, 02:33 AM	Ugly Sims 2 skin overlay - HELP #1
briana1996 Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Jun 2012 Posts: 23	I must have downloaded a sim who had this in their file, because I didn't download these ugly skin tones myself. All of the maxis-made sims (Goopy GilsCarbo, Jan Tellerman, Bella Goth, etc) don't have their regular maxis-made skin anymore, it is overrided with a hideous substitute and it even overrided my other sims 2 skin overlay. I have a bajillion files and I don't understand computer-techy language so I can't tell which package file contains the ugly skin tones so I can delete them! Can anyone help please? What would it start with? How do I find these game-ruining skin tones?

Darby Alchemist Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 2,729 1 Achievements	Oh yeah, I'm so inspired to help the new poster with a snotty attitude. Not. Nonetheless, since you apparently don't know, some people consider a post that's all bold type to be a bit shouty. Apologizing, correcting it, and moving on would win you more friends than getting snippy does. eta: Did I say "snippy"? What I meant was "grossly insulting".

Hurling what you perceive as an insult at a much revered and appreciated simmer (or anyone , for that matter) isn't a good way to conduct oneself , here or anywhere.

It's text, it isn't a voice. Get over it

I don't even know who "Mootilda" is, and I don't care if he/she's famous over the Simming internet.

That is very straining for the servers and if everyone did that, maintenance costs would sky rocket. Also: If you don't like it here, you can always look for another forum. We don't really enjoy rude people insulting everyone.

You should try MATY!. It's a really good site for Sims 2 troubleshooting. I go there all the time.

MOOKIEBLAYLOCK Field Researcher Join Date: Dec 2008 Posts: 256	The file you need to find and delete is 7c94f9e340ae239fbe1e533ee24e8853_ooo1.package. That's the only one that could cause the problem you described. It could be anywhere on your computer , possibly even in your Windows installation. Also I highly recommend doing all of your downloading at TSR in the future. That action alone will virtually guarantee that you won't ever have cc problems in the future. Best of luck!

I think the only one new here is you, dear.

Regardless, Fivey has actually offered probably the best advice you're going to get here. MATY is far more suited to troubleshooting issues like this; it's kind of what they're known for. I especially recommend you contact J. M. Pescado; he's great with newbies and will definitely help you figure out what your problem is.
