I love the fur textures but the eye textures Maxis used are FAR too cartoony, especially considering the beautiful fur. It took me a while to track down which of the bazillion textures are used for cat and dog eyes, but here ya go.
Attached is a .package file that should default-replace all the cat and dog eyes. I have gone ahead and imported the full-size textures for you to use as a base for your eye textures - I have also attached the .pngs in the file as there is a bit of image degredation each time you edit and Build DXT. Otherwise I have NOT changed the textures in any way, so if you put the .package file as-is in your game, you will see no change. This is merely a template for you to make your own.
Please note that the game uses eye textures that are part of a fur texture - so ALL you can/should change on these is JUST the eye part. Leave the fur and everything else alone.
It should be fairly obvious from the colours if you look on the textures, but here's what replaces what:
Dog Eyes: (names start with 'du')
Black/Darkest Brown - cblack
Blue - cdkbrown
Brown - ccream
Dk Blue - cmedbrown
Dk Green - cgolden
Green - cbluegrey
Red - cred
Silver - cdkgrey
Violet - csilver
Yellow - cwhite
Cat Eyes: (names start with 'fu')
Blue - csilver
Brown - corange
Brown Green (Dk Brown) - cblack
Green - cdkbrown
Grey - cgrey
Lt Blue - cwhite
Lt Green - cltbrown
Yellow - cyellow
I haven't tested these myself yet as I don't have any good textures to use just yet (though I do plan on trying to make some better than the Maxis ones) so please let me know if you have any trouble. Edit: I've now tested them with some textures I slapped together and these do work just fine as defaults. My textures suck though, so please make use of this if you can. We need better pet eyes. :)
General instructions on how to make a default replacement skin (and therefore eyes as well) may be found here. Please ask there if you have trouble with making default replacements... The files attached here are, well, designed for people who know what they're doing.
Of course, you can only have ONE default replacement of anything in the game, so make sure if you use these, you tell people so, and have a nice descriptive filename including DEFAULTREPLACEMENT so people can find them and remove them later easily.
If you do use these, a line of credit for the originals would be nice.
Other than that, go nuts. ;)
