Superb!
Love it! They are way more realistic looking, and the darker skin tones are absolutely goregerous compared to the in game's pre-defaults; as well as the pale. Now I finally feel like tuning my sims in more contrasted and vibrant color tones. Thanks a lot. Moreover : My biased love for these relocates back to your sims2 precursors, actually..

This is the first HQ skin I've ever installed. I don't know if it's that or your skin specifically, but everything looks amazing now.

I am confused. When downloading Buhu's You Are Real skins - what exactly is it that I should be downloading in an effort to make it more real? Also, can you explain for me - I've not been in the community for about two years and now I'm back so forgive me - the difference of using the HQ mod?

alverdine - Yes! I was just using random poses but those two lined themselves up like that and I just had to leave it. And possibly to make them a couple in my game now.

ollyoxenfree- I can try to explain. You Are Real (which I'll call YRL) modifies the bump mapping for the skin, so when you zoom in close, you'll see what looks like an actual texture to the skin - not just painted on texture but actual ever so slight bumpy texture. It's most obvious in areas like the lines of the lips, fingernails, and toenails - males also have a lot of nice detailing on their hands and arms, and it adds a slight nipple bump to both genders (which I've matched in placement on my skin). It's only noticeable in extreme close-up, and even then, it's subtle. I've added some of the texturing of YRL to my skins directly, both so it matches closely and to increase the effect, but to really get the full thing you need YRL too. You can download the default replacement versions there - both male and female, and it's up to you if you want the 18+ version or not (they will match the anatomical versions of my skins, if you get those).

The HQ mod... well... the way the game renders sim textures is to collage them together into a single image, reducing the size of each individual texture element in the process. It improves rendering to do it this way rather than separate textures, but it also reduces the quality of the textures. You can see this most dramatically on sim bodies and clothing - you'll get pixellated bits, or patches of odd pixel colours, especially on dark skin (due to a rendering quirk, all issues are more obvious/worse on dark skin). What the HQ mod does is increase the size of that collaged-together texture file, so each texture element is larger, and thus clearer in-game. It says it's not meant for normal gameplay, but... well, I do use it with normal gameplay and on the highest setting, but I have a very strong computer.

Does that make sense? If not, lemme know I can throw more words at you.

This is absolutely incredible! I've yet to find a skin better suited to my (and, I'm sure, everyone's) sim needs! Is there any chance you would consider making a default version?
