How can I fix these broken skins?
I have downloaded the complete collection from myabandonware, used the widescreen patcher, dgvoodoo, moved the game to my public folder, and am running on xp compatibility and as an admin. I had issues getting it to work but now finally it seems to be running fine. Except, these skins are broken. I have no cc so I don't know why this happened. Anyone know how to fix it?

The texture is being stretched over the wrong mesh, and that's weird; that shouldn't happen in a game with no CC.

Something must be wrong with the version of the game you downloaded. I'd suggest that you try the one at the Internet Archive instead; people seem to have good luck with it.

Thanks, I think you're right. I was just playing and it crashed. I keep getting the burglar sound at random times too. This version I downloaded from myabandonware might be corrupt. I'll startover and try the Internet Archive one. At least I know how to get it working this time.

It's not really a bug, but a naming mistake made by Maxis.

The right skin is from the C&C Renegade pack and was released for the basegame and its named : B634FAFitlgt_Petrova.
The left skin is from the Unleashed expansion pack and it's called : B634fafit_mom2.

Because they both use the B634 number, you have both skins duplicated in your game : 1 correct version and 1 bugged version (everybody had this issue)

You could fix this by renaming the B634FAFitlgt_Petrova files to a different number (that isn't used in your game. This is the easiest way, because this one is in the The Sims\GameData\Skins folder instead of a .far file

I have not had this issue. I have the disc version of the game, though, which may make a difference.
