Chaavik - The previous versions I had up had issues with the clothing. The ones I have up now have -no- clothing issues. I've tested it with good and evil witches of both genders and all witch-applicable ages, with no other mods, and all of mine get the proper clothing. I've tested on custom skins and had no issues. So I really don't know why you'd be having a problem unless you're maybe still using the old version, or have other hacks/mods installed which are interfering.

Played with them all afternoon. Finally my drow are black again and not green or covered with yellow pustules. I have one question though - not that it really bothers me a lot, I'm still not settled on the issue of whether I want the sparklies in the air or not - was this supposed to get rid of the 'aura' also, or just put the skin back? My green or blue auras are sometimes there, sometimes not. The evil aura seems to go away faster, but for both of them: once they leave for a community lot and come back the aura's back also....

It's all right. The mod still worked great for me. I think it was that one of them was already a witch before I put this mod in. Anyways, once again, a great job!

I/D - This does nothing to the sparkly auras - there's a mod for that available on this site (I don't have the link handy, but it's recent) - only changes the skins.

I have a problem with adult female and male witches in custom clothes. They have a big shadow on the bodies.

I'm having a few issues with the good warlocks. The witches look normal, but the guys still have yellow pocks all over their faces.

Pandora - I have tested them in custom clothing and it works fine. If you are having an issue, it is likely with something else conflicting.

HarajukuBoy - Please read the instructions in the first post. You have to Change Appearance to fix the faces.

Great mod, but it's not working for me. The teen good witch I tested it on has a dark shadow over her body, but her face and hands look fine. I tried having her change appearance and change outfits, but that didn't help. I've just downloaded it, so I know I have the latest version. I don't have any other hacks, so that's not the problem. I do have default replacement custom skins: http://hideki.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=215889
And she's wearing custom clothing.

I wish I could get it to work, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks, anyway.

I'm having a shadow problem too. I'm using Louis' default skins, with custom clothing, and there's a shadow cast over my sim's shoulders, hands and face in-game. Her profile picture is completely black from the neck down.

Ack. Sadly, in AL, my witches come out with your skin tone replacement for the body, and the Maxis' default skin tone for the face. ;; Any reason for this?

Now I'm developing a bit of a problem with the good witches and some custom clothing. it shows up ok on the actual sim, but on their little portrait the clothing has a black shadow over it. also seem to get the "bad make up effect" of their head and neck being a slightly different color than their body. On my custom drow skin the body is suddenly darker on the normal (replacement) skin the body is lighter (I think I use ancient ones from someone named Allen Akbar, and the drow skin was one of the first ones to appear on this site)

PS: ONLY happening with the good witches so far, the evil male witch is fine

I don't have a clue why people would still be having issues. I've tested in my game and everything is working with no issues. I didn't do anything different for good and evil, male and female - they all use the same textures, so if something's going wrong, it's a bug with the game or other custom content interfering - or maybe something about graphics cards, shaders on, or something like that. I have tested custom clothing, custom hair, custom skintones, and default skintones and had no problems with any of them, so I'm stumped. If I can't reproduce the problem, I can't fix it.

Ha, but I finally figured out my problem with the "bad makeup" issue (head and body being different color). I did finally put in the other hack from this site that stomps out the sparkly aura around the witches also, and loo and behold: the two tone went away. For me apparently the issue was mostly the sparklies. Off to test with custom clothing now, but suspect already that that also has a connection to the sparklies....

nabeel461 - I don't have the old version anymore myself, and the new version shouldn't cause that. I think your problem is due to something else.

Oops.. Umm, post deleted because I/D already mentioned it. Anyway, thank you so much!

EDIT: Okay, the problem I'm having is the same as I/D's (shadow over the icon), except it's on my evil male witch. Hmm..
