[Sims 2]

NOT shiny.

NOT Garden of Shadows sponsored.

NO big butts or lidless eyes or apocalyptic zombie scars.

Palest powdery white great. Milky browns okay. No peachy pinky humaniod reddish tinge. Puffy powdery white yes yes yes. Spectrum colors (blues, purples, greens) fine. No zombie/witch/wolf/vamp replacement - I like them the way they came. I want to turn regular Joe walking down street into a white-icing confection, if possible.

Yes, I googled. Yes, I looked at MTS. Everything I like is always not a default replacement. I have lots of non-default already. That is why on other thread I said, "How do I chance Maxis skinned people to my Custom skins?" Response most easy way would be get defaults. I could sware when looking for other cc I saw hundreds of skins on the internet and now where have they all gone???

PS If a skin says geneticized does that imply it is also a default replacement or is it some other beast altogether?

No, geneticized does not mean default replacement. Geneticized means it has been assigned a number for inheritance purposes. For example, if an S1 Sim and an S2 Sim have a baby, the child can inherit any installed skintone with values between .2 and .4, including S1 and S2. In addition, towniefied means that newly created townies may have those skintones. The two are separate, but are usually combined by skintone creators.

Have you looked at Jwilson5's skintones at http://www.insimenator.org (barbie) or http://www.insimadult.org (anatomically correct)? Those are the ones I use, and are compatible with either the Maxis mesh or Warlokk's or BlooM's meshes. Not sure if she's got the colors you want, but there are some nice choices. The shiny ones are usually by Navatsea, and only appropriate for bodybuilders, IMHO.

FYI, all skintones have black "eye holes." One is used for the inside of the mouth, the other for the meshed on eyelashes. The facial mesh "stretches" the texture above the eyes to color the eyelids. Outside of GoS, there are very few skintones/cosmetics that give the Asian eye lid appearance. Or did you mean something else by "lidless eyes"?

As for the big boobs and butts, those are primarily determined by the mesh. If you don't install a default replacement mesh, your Sims will stay "Maxis shaped." Some skintones (Navatsea again) do have accentuated cleavage, which looks ok on the Maxis meshes, but looks horrible on the A-cup or Miana anorexic or androgeny meshes. I don't think anyone has bothered to fiddle with the shading to accent the butt shape.

Selzi has some pretty pale skin tones and they come in default and non-default. She has her own site www.meilow.de/selzisims

I know you already looked at MTS, but...

Astiees has some good ones here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=398421&c=1
They are all default, not shiny, the pale is pale, there is a pretty good selection.

Here are some colored ones: http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,90856.0.html Click on 8.jpg and open it to look at the pic of the colors.

There is an albino skin here, but it is not default, unfortunately: http://www.genensims.com/skins/standard_01.htm

Thank you. I have the Pixie already. They're not default replacement. Only want replacement default for now. I have hundreds of non default already. I'm pretty sure I have searched the internet completely and discovered that no one has ever thought of making a completely powder puff all white white white replacement skin set. It just has not been done. Well, one person made oriental replacement skins for female only (what was the point???) that were as white as I ever saw.

Thank you mucha for info I'll try that one lead from MTS. They look as close as I am going to get to what I wanted. Thanks again.

PS: Should someone google this thread looking for default replacement skins later in life the only other site I found with a bunch was here: http://www.meilow.de/selzisims/downloads/skintones/

zephyrzodiac · « **Reply #5 on:** July 05, 2012, 04:49:14 PM »

I'd say the point of the white oriental skintones is that they are female only because Geishas are female only!
Could I suggest that the only way to get what you want is to find the four skiintones you would like as default replacements, and then find a tutorial to teach you how to do that for yourself.

Jemcrystal · « **Reply #6 on:** July 05, 2012, 07:30:16 PM »

Yeah, I used to think geisha meant female too but actually equal sexes could/can become one. An anime with a male geisha I saw a while back made me check it out.

But would they poison themselves by using arsenic to whiten their skin? (This was common among English ladies of the Georgian era....)

miros1 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 05, 2012, 10:58:07 PM »

Elizabethian ladies used lead! Hatters went mad because they processed their materials with mercury. People did all kinds of crazy stuff because they didn't have the science to tell them what was dangerous.

zephyrzodiac · « **Reply #9 on:** July 06, 2012, 01:28:56 AM »

Very true - and if someone with enough knowledge of science had told them of the dangers, they'd have accused them of witchcraft!

Since I am always conscience of the people who google and read threads years from now I'm going to type how it turned out for me. I never found exactly what I am looking for. I wanted exotic colors, esp snow white, made into default replacements I guess.

My final picks:

For whites - Jessy lovelyxwow's skins found on Dreamwidth: http://lovelyxwow.dreamwidth.org/34619.html#cutid1 They are pretty, have no annoying face glow/triangle, and she lets you pick whatever skin color you want per the four replacement categories. I wanted S1 and S2 to be extremely white. Well, I settled for her lightest picks as they are lighter than any others I've yet seen. Jessy is the only creator that I have seen give such variety to default skins and with such ease to pick and download.

Jessy's very darks had facial hair and eye liner producing more of a zombie look so instead...

For browns - for S3 and S4 I went with Cidira's at MTS: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=474018.

zephyrzodiac · « **Reply #11 on:** July 06, 2012, 10:04:36 AM »

They are indeed nice skintones - and the Alien choices are great, too.

venusking · « **Reply #12 on:** July 06, 2012, 11:10:32 AM »

If you ever get tired of the ones you found and truly want the white/white/white/white and don't mind a little work, here is a detailed tut with pictures on how to create a default skin out of a non-default:

I do not have the right art programs to make custom content. Nor the talent. I appreciate everyone who took the long hours to make all the nice things I have in my game. If I was rich I would hire programmers to create a game with elaborate built-in player design screens so players could create their own characters, clothing, and design furniture and appliances. I picture Sims 2 + FFXI + Ratchet & Clank. It would be an MMORPG, of course.

And it would have to be my own platform because I hate PS, Wii, and Xbox. Also hate over-the-counter PC's rotten graphic card options (yes, I know how to put in my own graphic card - I'm saying computers should come with great graphic cards to begin with).

miros1 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2012, 05:06:23 PM »

Actually, if there's a skintone you like, you can make it a default with nothing but SimPE.

Doing your own blends, yes, you need an art program, but there's a good free one at http://www.gimp.com; unfortunately, there aren't many tutorials for it, but it can be figured out by applying patience.

As for talent, you'd be surprised how much you can do "by the numbers"!

For some reason you are all starting to put me in mind of that Jehovah's Witness that visited me yesterday.

We're all just Sim-evangelists!

BTW, all creators started because they wanted one thing that could not be had for love of money....

Need a blue fridge?

zephyrzodiac · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2012, 07:20:27 PM »

There is one.....

miros1 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2012, 09:38:10 PM »

There wasn't in Sims 1 until I made one....

yetyak · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2012, 12:28:57 AM »

I think I have that...

zephyrzodiac · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2012, 03:03:17 AM »

I had one in Sims 1, can't remember the name of the site offhand, but I still have all their stuff somewhere....

Just remembered, it was Ikbod's.

So true! That's how I started modding, too: there were just some things that I wasn't happy with, and which begged for me to do something about it, because nobody else had yet. And things really started taking off, when ZZ was looking for a mod to lower the chance of alien pregnancies and then AncientHighway suggested that *I* look into it. He even made some very valuable suggestions about how to do it. And now it's known as "Alien Experiments".

Really, Jemcrystal, a lot is possible. You may not be aware of it yet, but I'm sure that you too have some kind of talent.
