Could you make one with slight leg and arm hair, but no chest hair?
That would be great! :D

Great work, I'm amazed that this was made so quickly! I noticed yesterday how dead sims look when they're outside during night hours, it scared me a bit.

Thank you so much for these! They look great! I simply cannot stand the way the default TS3 sims look. This will help me enjoy the game!

The real reason that Sims 2 (and I hope Sims 3) have been so successful is due to the superb work done by modders to give us the game that EA should have given us. Many, many thanks for your continued creativity!

Huzzah! I don't even have the game yet, but this nudges me a bit further forward towards buying the thing.

Absolutely fantastic! You can come eat my pasta anytime if you keep doing this kinda work. I really, like so many others, was not happy with the overall look of the skins in TS3. This should help immensely and I cant wait to see your improved versions!

So upon downloading Sims 3 for the very first time, we should download these files as well, before ever actually starting the game, for the best success, correct?

I haven't gotten Sims 3 yet, but I'm more excited about it now that these new skins are available.

The light skin looked a little green in the CAS. I didn't look in the game. But hey, Thank you!!

When creating a sim, his skin is normal, after that if I try to reroll or change sex his head stays normal, but body gains slightly greenish tint. If I add another sim to family he is again normal, untill I reroll or change sex. I installed detailed faces and bodies with nippples for both sexes, no shine.

As I said, they may look kinda weird in CAS. In lower graphics settings, I suppose they might look green (I don't know, I play things on all high) but tbh, what counts is in-game. I have tested rolling and changing sex and that works fine for me...

I just wanted to add to the list of admiration:

Thanks a TON. This will make me enjoy my game a lot more, and really you've created nice works of art in the first week of the game's launch. I envy you. I thank you,again haha.

First thing i did when i saw this was lol at the blurring then i thought, be normal! And they look really natural, much better than the matt skin the normally have! thanks

It's ok, we all laugh-snort occasionally!

First of all, thanks for this. They look really nice. I feel sort of like an idiot for asking, but you only download one of the options, right (or, one for male and one for female)? Like, you can't have both the Barbie skins and the more textured faces?

AlexiaAshford - Well, now you're boned. You shouldn't have replaced that one. Maybe there's an original on the game disk?

cateyedsnake - The body skins are separate from the faces. If you want the faces, download the face files. If you want the bodies, download one of the body types for each gender. If you want both, get both, just not more than one for each gender of the body files.
