Just wanted to say that these skins are gorgeous - I've been trying to find just the right skins for a couple of Sims I'm working on - and yours may be some of the nicest I've found. Thank you so much for all the hard work you've done. And don't let a few (Okay, maybe a few more than a few) jerks keep you away for too long. Thanks!

These are absolutely gorgeous skins, thank you for your hard work! I know there are some jerks and I'm sorry you feel the need for a break, but I hope you enjoy your vacation time!

Great! They're nice for that 'natural' look. Because whose skin is shiny?

Wow. These are some of the most beautiful skintones I've seen - if not .the. most beautiful. I'm going to use these for all my natural Sims from now on. Thank you for these (and everything else you've made)! You're awesome :o

Love these skin tones, especially their nice non-shineyness. I've loved everything of yours I've downloaded to date, and hope that your vacation in Oblivion isn't a very long one - ie, that it's just as long as you need to unwind, but not so long we're all thinking you're never returning!

Don't let the turkeys get you down... roast 'em for dinner instead.

P.S. - thanks for the link to the list of plant (and other!) downloads, I'm planning a huge plant-downloading spree in the near future for a new 'hood set I'm putting together, and those links are going to save me bunches of time.

I love these, and I've loved all your other creations, I think I have every single one. I'm sorry if this community has made you want to go away. Sucks when a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch, eh?

Default Alien Skins?
I was wondering if you had any intentions of making an "alien" skintone version?

If you do not, would you mind if I made one using your textures as a template (so it would 'fit in' with the rest of your textures?) I would love to make it, and forward it back to you for inclusion (or addition) with the rest of your pack, (allowing that you like what I do, anyway...)

I know there aren't a lot of people that are very fond of the aliens.. but I really like them, and your textures look amazing...

LE102071, I'm getting kind of re-hooked with Seasons, so I'm likely going to do a green recolour for the plant people - with some leaves and stuff, similar to/inspired by some of Enayla's skintones... I have kicked around the idea of doing some supernaturals using my textures - a funky pale suitable for vampires, a couple shades for alien, and some silvery grey for zombies... I've got some computer issues at the moment so it may be a few days, but those - as defaults and non-defaults, plus the anatomically correct versions, should actually be coming relatively soon.

That being said, if I take more than about a week without saying anything else here about it, you are welcome to PM me and nag me about it - I tend to be a bit scatterbrained and forgetful.

These made me take out my beloved Louis #7 defaults. I'm deeply amazed by how beautiful these are.

Just checked them out in-game, they're wonderful. Not too shiny yet beautifully defined. I like it that it doesn't change facial features, a big bonus. Thank you very, very much.

tigmomx4, in my game I use skins with nipples for everyone, and hair, and everyone's anatomically correct, so... while I appreciate where you're coming from, I'm not, err, trying to be a nipple fascist here or nothin'... It's not a personal moral choice or anything, it's intended to just make a "barbie" skintone as many people want that, and because I wanted a "won't offend any parents, same detail as Maxis" version for upload for MTS2. I will be doing a nippled version for my site (probably including a bit of hair for elsewhere, too) but I chose to leave them off this version as I couldn't display them in the screenshots anyway.


Is this still in the works? I looked at your site for them but I did not see them. It always freaks me out seeing nippleless breasts on my sims, it's creepy looking. I would like to try these defaults if they were anatomically correct (without hair, so you don't have to worry about the drapes matching the carpet if you catch my meaning)

My anatomical versions will be posted on my site when complete - with a notice here that they are up. They will have hair on the females, but just a bit, in a fairly neutral brown. I'll put up my PSDs with the nipples so people can do non-haired versions if they like - I just don't feel like doing 9 different flavours.

I like these skintones, but do you know where I can download some more baby bottle recolours? I have a feeling I'll be needing a lot of them.

theisz, which age/gender/skintone was that occurring with, and was it with the defaults, or nondefaults? It's possible I gooned something up - there's a LOT of files to keep straight on skintones, but I can't fix it unless I know where the problem is.

I was quite silly and did not realize I needed the both downloads for it to work. My apologies. I feel like a dolt at the moment.
