jixx Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 After installing mk3 I've noticed a very strange issue. When I go to change a Sim's appearance and return to the game, the camera ends up in some random location and I can't seem to center on my Sims or the lot in general. There are also lots floating off of the ground all around the neighborhood. This seems like something that should have absolutely nothing to do with your skin, but it's the only thing I've added since the last time I played. Edit: I tested it out and it seems to only be a problem for a specific lot. It's probably on my end and you can disregard this. Let me guess . . . the Landgraabs . . . I have been having that issue with them, so it seems like a safe bet. My mod only changes skin textures, therefore problems that it creates can only be visual problems. It was on one of the free lots and seems to be gone after leaving that family alone for a while. Anyway, new version is good and it's nice to see the 2.5 available for people that want a little bit of both!
EVOL_EVOLVED Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for this, this is the first nude skin I have found for free. I needed one to test out my breast augmentation mod. The nipples lose some detail enlarged but still better than no nipples. Thanks again!

mollynakamura Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Signed up to say thanks for this thread!!! So much awesome info. I just got the Sims 4 (late to the party I know, I know) and took a peek around to see if anything was out there yet, and I'm surprised how quickly you texture and programming geniuses out there got this done. I'm already using some of the stuff posted in this thread in my Sims story blog (apparently I can't post links so just search mollynakamura on tumblr if you have some time to kill and enjoy silly Sims-style days-of-our-lives stories), so many thanks again!
BobbyTH Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 those are very licious ... Nice work! from BobbyTH •on a side note, My Sims 3 site "BackAlleySims" is going down the drain and since i have been lurking here at "LL" for some time, I plan on making my first sims4 creation Lover's Lab Exclusive. See You Guys Soon,,, *got a few Skyrim creation to wrap-up first*
Elerneron Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Mk4 an hairy version? No natural hair down there version? If you reference the first page you will see the reasons that I will not add hair to a default replacement skin texture. If you want one, you should check out Cmar's Blog as she has created a hairy texture. Personally I would rather have all of them bald down there than to have light haired sims mismatch.

majestic1234 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks. No worries. I was thinking to post the link to the thread directly, not to the file. Thanks for the files I'd like to mod the skins myself though - add some detail to the skin like freckles, more realistic nipples and such. Is there any help you can give? Well, I guess I can give a few tips. What you need: 1) You need the Body Texture Packages for the textures, lucky for you these have been whittled down to just what is needed. I'm going to have to redo my Skins with these. 2) You are going to need S4PE to edit the .package file. 3) You need a program capable of opening, editing, and saving .DDS image files. I use Photoshop with a .DDS plugin that I got a long time ago, and couldn't begin to tell you where from. What to do: 1) Open the package file in S4PE. 2) Right click on one of the textures and choose Export to DDS. 3) Save the DDS where you can find it. 4) Make your modifications to the DDS. To keep things consistent you might want to make these in a new layer, then put a 1 pixel border around it (to keep it positioned) then save it to a separate file. Then you can simply copy / paste the layer and delete the border and everything will match up with the other skins. 5) Save your DDS 6) In S4PE right click on the same texture you Exported and choose Import from DDS. When it asks you to commit say yes. 7) Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the remaining textures. 8) Save the .package file. I recommend using Save As to preserve the Base Textures for future projects. One note: Skin textures are greyscale, color is added by skintones. If you want a skin feature to be a certain color, you are going to have to use skin features or tattoos (see below). For freckles and such I recommend doing them as a skin detail or tattoo. For this you can use Sims 4 Studio. The process is similar to the process above, except that it is an overlay so you only have to do it once. If you don't want it to screw up the body sliders you are going to need to make sure the alpha channel of the DDS is transparent except where your features are. I do this by making a duplicate layer of my features with a black layer below it. I then use Styles (in Photoshop) to give the duplicate layer a white Color Overlay. Merge with the black layer and copy that merged layer to your alpha channel (and delete the original from your layers of course). I am looking forward to what you come up with. I like this skin Thank you. Also I came across a mod that is Male Body hair and it looks very good. The options is under Tattoos. So I wonder is it possible to do the same thing with Female Pubic Hair ? That will be cool. It is certainly possible, but probably not from me. I am not a very good artist. I am hoping someone makes some pubes for my dames as well. My apologies for the very late response but thank you very much - this is exactly what I needed to know. I'll post my results on this forum.
-X- Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Do you have a pink nipple version? it's hard to get pink nipples this time since the skin tones are just an overlay over a grey image texture. i had a crack at trying to get pink nipples a few times and couldn't get it right. but i don't know maybe someone knows a trick i don't?

It's easy - you have to use a nude package to see the nipples anyway so what you do, is add "clothing" that places nipples on the right places. Using this method, you can overlay body parts in colour onto the body like pubes, body hair, pink nipples. If you want those parts to match in all colours, you add them on the base skins and then use "clothing" with transparant colour areas. For the nipples you'd use a transluscent red zone, the size of the nipples, for example. When I finish my skin, I'll demonstrate what I mean. EDIT: here's a sample of the skin I'm working for. Lemme know if you got any remarks or ideas.

Lemme know if you got any remarks or ideas. This is really good! A couple questions: Does this work as a "Default skin" or do you have to "wear" your skins to see the goods? I just ask because you mentioned transparent clothing. Using this methodology could you have a large variety of different types of nipples and pubic hair? I like the idea of somewhat randomizing or some variety in how Sims look when they get undressed for the first time...
Elerneron Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 You have to "wear" the nipples / pubes / whatever with that method (though it can be in skin features with the freckles and moles to free up clothing that shows a bit of nip or whatever), which is why I am not using it. Sometime in the future I may make overlays for my skins for different nipples, but the base texture will remain underneath, providing bits for those who have not been through CAS (Townies).

Lemme know if you got any remarks or ideas. Looking good. I recommend cloning one of the moles in skin features instead of clothing so that it shows when they are bathing. You can't use freckles because they are grayscale. Alternately you can use a tattoo layer. Keep in mind that whatever you clone will not be available for the sim. Also, if you don't want it to mess with the weight and muscle sliders you need to make sure you have a proper alpha channel on you DDS.

For now I made a package for the skin I made - you can find it attached for anyone who's interested. EDIT: just to clarify: this replaces the default skin completely. I've added more detail to the following areas of the body: - nails - butt (there's a defined crack now instead of the ugly one before) - nipples (obviously) - there's more cleavage - the belly button has been replaced - there's a "dimple" above the ass now - pubic hair (my preference I may make a skin without pubic hair if there's a big enough demand - it's a lot of work saving all the different skin types) Sims4 Majestic Skins.zip

Sure no problem - I thought the topic was for all skins because the topic title was rather generic and plural.

Well, what about using the excellent default skins floating around now (including the two in this very thread), then using tattoos to add different styles of pubic hair on top of it? I'd be okay with that. Would it be easy to code a separate mod that automatically adds a random "pubic tattoo" to every Sim? Even if not, I could live with using the cheats to edit Townies and add pubic hair manually this way.
-X- Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 as i said if you use tattoos you use up a tattoo slot and won't be able to put a tattoo of that type (say you use the upper right arm slot) on your sim anymore. you can only put 1 type of tattoo per slot on your sim. even if there is a cheat to allow more slots you still have to enable that cheat it's still compromising.
