I've still got a couple more methods I want to try, including another potential solution from here at MTS2 ( ). I thought that as long as my downloads folder was in the File Table it would load custom skins? When I load up Body Shop, I have 85 custom skins (far more than I thought!), but almost none of them show up in Sim Surgery or Alt Sim Surgery.

Still there is only a small selection of the skins shown, far less than what I know I have. I think I've still done something wrong.ĮDIT #2: I also took a look using the Theo's Alt Sims Surgery from MATY. It's showing me 8 I don't even recognize, but I know from CAS in-game that I've got 25 or 30 skins to choose from. It's hardly critical, but it bugs me and I do want to fix it if I can manage it.ĮDIT: After taking another look, I know I am not seeing all of the available skins in the Sims Surgery tool. Does that mean SimPE now has access to everything I should need?Īnd has anyone heard of this problem I am experiencing? I've been timid about using SimPe, but I've been using it more and more lately and feeling more comfortable with it, so I'm really hoping I can fix this skintone issue. All of my stuff is in the Downloads folder (no subfolders are being used). I just now loaded up my neighborhood in SimPe, and I checked the File Table in preferences, but I notice that my Downloads folder is already being loaded on the FileTable tab. But instead I've got strange hybrid skin going on most if not all of my Sims. I had assumed that after removing the default skins, the game would simply revert to using the Maxis skins. I know that I deleted some skintones that were originally default replacements (I didn't understand how everything worked the first time I installed these downloads). You could actually see the microscopically thin line separating the two. It seemed that the upper half of the body was using one skintone, and the lower half was using a different skintone. Anyway, when I finally got my neighborhood up and running again, I noticed that a lot of my Sims had something weird going on with their skins. I recently restored my Downloads folder and files, but in the process I deleted a lot of files that after a couple months of research I either couldn't identify them or decided I didn't want them anymore. First of all, thank God for MTS2 tutorials and these great programs like SimPE or a lot of us would be so screwed! I just want to make sure I'm clear on this. However, you can make it genetic by copying the new data to the genetic fields using SimPE.

I believe that Sim Surgery is appearance only.
