Yayyyyy! I just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. I finally get to play with the EA glasses frames I actually LIKE. I hate sunglasses on my Sims, so to have the chance to make recolors of these with clear lenses is great.  |

Thank you SO much for this tutorial! Now I can finally do something about those ridiculous pink and green lenses that ruin glasses that would be quite nice otherwise. :D |

This is probably getting a little too complex for me, but I'm gonna ask it anyway; is there a way to put an image on a pair of glasses, kind of like holographic sunglasses you'd see in joke shops? Judging from what I've heard, I'm gonna assume not, but I thought I'd go ahead and put the question out there. |

Thanks a lot, Numenor for this great explication. It needed some time until the glasses were like I want them, but now, my sims can wear my self-made glasses with the coloured glasses. Thanks

Wow, I wish i had had this a few days ago when I was trying for hours just to make some tea-shades. I succeeded, but I'm still having some trouble. Tea-shades are circular sunglasses such as John Lennon or Ozzie Osbourne style. I succeeded in changing the lenses, and I tried to make custom frames as well. (Gold and silver) I thought they turned out fine until I realized that the frames for adult and elder men were not gold and silver but bright yellow and white. After comparing, I noticed that in SimPE the Material Definitions for the women's and males child and younger were different from the adult and elder males'. In particular, women and boys had something called alphaRefValue that adult men did not have. Teen males did not have alphaRefValue and their frames were the correct color. However, when teen males wear the glasses, the glasses morph and scew with the face so they are horribly misshapen. Then I realized that I can't find the actual file for the original round glasses for men (because that is what mine are based on) and I'm wondering if I somehow deleted the original file, but I don't know how or when I could have done that. Sorry for really long post and no screenshots. I hope I made sense. Advice? |

I actually did some fiddling with the male aviator glasses with clear lenses to attempt the exact same thing. Take a look at what I did in SimPE  and test them in game to see if you like the tweaks.**cheers postscript: just remember that the changes have to be made to the MATD properties for <b>all</b>age levels. I changed the frames AND the lenses in the same sitting and therefore had to edit the properties in 6 MATD files (lenses in 3 ages + frames in 3 ages). Oi vey what a headache.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for this! I've never used SimPE in my life and was still able to follow this tutorial and in turn was able to create a recolor. Thank you! ^^ |

Hmm I can't seem to get this to work.. I think I did everything the way you should do it. I only changed the 'empty files' (where it's not filing the colour of the sunglasses itself for example, so not the glasses ofcourse) the colours should be right because I used the drop down menu box thingy, and if I check again in SimPE they are all changed in the way I want them. but if I check bodyshop again they're still the same old.. Did I do something wrong or forgot a step? |

I had to think about this for a while before I even "attempted" to answer. I "think" you would have to either alter the existing alpha layer of the mesh or create a new one that you could recolor however you like. If I'm not mistaken, it should work in the same manner as a recolor of a clothing piece. I've only done a few simple RC's of Maxis objects for my own use, so I'm not absolutely certain if holographics are possible. |

It's probably possible to put an image on glasses lenses if you change some settings in SimPE. But holographic images? Probably not. I doubt it's that pressing an issue anyway, since the post you're responding to is over 4 years old... I'd like to see someone try this, though. It could have amusing results.

True enough - it is a very old post, but people still ask questions like this and I try to be as helpful as my limited knowledge permits. I'm actually quite suprised that anyone even looks at this thread any more considering its age. |
