*smiles* Done!!! Of course I chose something even my husband would approve. He would faint if I pulled something purple out for him. We went with a tasteful Green. Again, was able to translate these instructions into Paintshop Pro 8 with ease. Thank you!!!

Thank yoy for that
BTW: for anyone who doesn't own / doesn't want M$-Word: go to www.openoffice.org
There you'll get a free Office Suite which is almost identical in look and feel (it's based on Star Office)and which can handle M$-Word formats (and could even convert .doc into severak other formats like i.e. .RTF or .HTML
or..in case you don't need the office packet and just want to be able to read and write in Word format, google for Abiword (which is free also)

You can go to the skinning forum to get lots of answers. I do check for new posts on my tutorials, though.

Additional help desperately needed
Hello, I found this thread very useful. I am wondering if you can help... I downloaded a package of default skins for my Sim 2 adults and I like the way the female looks, but am less enthusiastic about the male skin. I cannot find a way to delete the male without deleting the female as well and am wondering if you have any ideas on how to either remove just the male default that I downloaded or to recolor it. Since it is a default, it does not appear in my Bodyshop. Any help you can give would be tremendously appreciated! :comp: Darlene

Wow! What a clear tutorial! Thanks alot for these.

I'm having trouble making things black... colors work fine, and I can get varying shades of gray but I'm having trouble finding how to make things black and am wondering what I am overlooking? I'm also using PS. I just know it's something right in front of me but I can't find it.. lol help!

Black is hard. What you can do is select "pick color" in PS and select as close as you can get, and you'll still need to play with the opacity, unless you want to dodge and burn your own shading and highlights. You'll want to go back and look at it in-game, too, because just as the game adds smoothing effects to items (so it looks different in-game than it does in body shop) it also adds color for lighting effects - your blacks and greys may show greens and pinks in the higlights and around the edges, so you may need to go back and forth tweaking it until it looks the way you like in the game.

Wow, great tutorial! Until now, I felt like I'd never be able to do -anything- with clothes on my own. You've really helped me out, thanks! Though I do have a question, maybe it's just because I'm new and haven't gotten the hang of it, but I seem to be having problems getting the edges colored. As in.. they'll stay the original color, it's noticeable enough for me, but I'm not sure how noticeable it really is. Even so, any hints or tips on how to get better at including the edges of clothes?

Well, don't worry too much about going beyond the outside edges with your texture - the alpha will block it out. Beyond that, it's mostly a matter of practicing until you get a steady hand. You may want to begin by clicking with the mouse and shift-clicking in tiny increments to get as close to where you want the edge to be, and if you hit a wrong point, you just undo >that< one.
