Hm, could be useful for those doing a poverty challenge. Good job!

Great! But I agree with astillac but since I got Seasons I don't even think about doing a poverty challenge...

Great idea, I'm looking forward to trying these out. Now some of the peasants and merchants in my medieval neighbourhood can get their faces dirty. Yay! Thanks!

I love this concept, it's exactly what I've been looking for. <3

But funnily enough, I can't seem to find them ingame. They're under the full-face/costume makeup, right? D:

Yes. The only gotcha I can think of is most of them are subtle enough not to be particularly visible in a small bitmap of a pale mannequin. They're tints, not heavy opaque masks; if you're expecting to see a block of ten things that are glaringly obvious from across the room, you may have (in a sense) looked right through them...

I've attached a jpg of BodyShop as it appears on my machine. The (invisible) mouse pointer is hovering over the 71% dirt0A tint, causing the tooltip "dirt0A 71% NPB0 LBG" to appear.

*shakes head* I'm just baffled...I just finished going through the whole BodyShop, hovering over every custom FullFace Makeup, to no avail. I've checked to make sure they're in my Downloads folder and completely unzipped, and they are. It's just so bizzare as to why they aren't showing up. o.o

I fear I am baffled as well.

I've knocked together a couple of test cases (attached).

LBG_Test_FFM_Zombie_GreenSpots.package is derived from the Maxis "zombie" full face makeup face mask (the one that looks kinda like a clumsy attempt at the Frankenstein monster)-- which is the same one I derived the dirty faces from.

LBG_Test_FFM_Tamoko_RedCheckerboard.package is derived from "tamoko", the full-face "tribal"-style tattoo.

Nothing weird was done during their production (or during the generation of the dirty faces, for that matter)-- I'm on a Mac, so I couldn't fiddle them with SimPE even if I wanted to. If the checkerboard shows up but the spots don't, that might help narrow things down to an eccentricity of the Maxis "zombie" original (which I haven't used for anything else before). If both show up, an SimPE-enabled type on the support forums may be able to dig into LBG_Test_FFM_Zombie_GreenSpots.package and see how it differs from the dirty faces. Of course, if neither shows up, we've learned nothing...
