I love enayla's skins, they are in my opinion, some of the best supernatural skins out there. But with all of the new technology and new creators and time that has passed, I wanted to.. update them?

Almost all of the skins have a new nose, new eyelids, and new lips. No make-up, not even eyebrows. What you see is what I see in my CAS.

(Edit 11/12/2017: modified this post along with other skin posts to add what previews I had after imageshack dropped them.)

New lips, nose, eyesocket. Made the skin less green and more yellow/bronze. Tips of ears are same shade as lips.


I think this is the only skin I didn't change the nose of. New lips, eyesockets.


I wasn't sure if I wanted to put this one up, I'm not really satisfied with it. (I think the original looks better, actually)
New lips, eyesocket, nose.


The most un-supernatural of the bunch. Lightened the skintone, less sunburned and more rosy. New lips, nose, ears, eyelids. I tried to enhance the freckles a bit, too.


body front, body back
Did a lot more work on this one than the others. Added some transparent layers over the shiny bits to make the skin more matte, new nose, lips, eyebags. Added a lot of elements from one of Ninika's zombie skins: wounds, face effects, collarbone, spine detail. I also added some splashes of a red-brown to the hands and feet, to make them look dirtier, and added some other scars.



Two versions of this edit. One with more faded skin and redder leaves ("old glory"), one with lighter, warmer skin to blend with the leaves ("Glory"). New lips, nose, and skin shade.

And now the one that started it all:


body front, body back
My favorite enayla skin. Unlike the others, I used a pooklet skin as a base (but changed the nose) and added onto it using Enayla's skin as more of a reference. Took the mouth scars, sunburned cheeks, and some of the lip texture from enayla. Freckles on the face and body hand-painted by me (just spots, really), and added some scars. There's a scabby bruise on the male shoulder that you can't see in these pictures, and there's one identical to it on the female's hip bone.


I also did a version of Pixie Rush using enayla's skin, but I just made the whole thing pale.

And as an added bonus!
this is an edit of a Joedy skin, I changed the hue/saturation and whatnot to make it pink with blue scales. Looks great with pooklet's alien facemasks. The hair is a recolor by me, and is included because I specifically made it for this skintone anyway.
And here's the back of the skintone, because it's so pretty:

Please excuse me while I dissolve in a puddle of drool...it's like you read my mind about those Enayla skins! I've always been a little put off by the lips and noses, I love seeing them on a new base. ^_^
Thanks so much!

That's just exactly what I wanted! They are such great skins, she was really an artist, and I just wanted them to match better with the rest of the skins that are out there.

Thank YOU so much for the feedback. Just knowing that someone will use them is such a great feeling.

These are lovely -- I really look forward to using them in my game -- you'll probably be seeing them in pics I post -- I can't wait to give one of my sims the pink and blue scaled skin -- thank you.

I wasn't too sure about Pearl, it's nice to know you liked it. And thank YOU for the feedback!

Thanks for turning on anonymous posting!

I just love these skin blends. I've always had a thing (more of an obsession) for Enayla's skins, but lately they've been looking a bit outdated in comparison to my other, newer skintones. It's nice to see some blends that mix the special Enayla parts with better looking features.

Thank you so much!

...wow.

These look awesome, I especially love Deceased - I never downloaded the original because of the over-shinyness, but yours is definitely going straight into my game.

Oh thank you! I agree, deceased was very shiny and awkward to really use, I'm so glad you're downloading it! Have fun!

These are soooooo much better than the originals. I love them! I have a question/request though... If it's possible and not too much trouble... is there any way you could do custom (not townified and genetisized) versions of ivy, the glories, pearl and the last bonus one? I love townified/genetisized skins usually, but these are just too... unique and i wouldn't want too many random townies/babies popping out with them on.
And also... do you by any chance have versions of ivy and old glory without the face details? They are great the way they are, but i also really like the face textures, noses and mouths and i would love to have them as regular skins, too. Pixie Ivy's new color and nose are so cute and i think it would look great just as a "normal" skin, without the leaves.

I just re-read my comment and it sounds really demanding and all. Sorry about that, it wasn't my intent.

Don't worry about it. If you want customs, I can do that but I have to sort of re-make the skins, and they may lose a little tiny bit of their quality. It will take me a little while, but I might, possibly, have it done for tomorrow.

As for removing the leaves.. I'm not sure I can do anything like that with the program I have.. it will take a lot of fiddling and work but I'll try my best. If I can't, however, I used a lot of the same features (noses, eyes, lips) on my natural skins. If that's still not what you want, I can try to make new blends using the exact features of the skins you mentioned?

Oh, that whole no-leaves thing sounds like too much work. Please, don't waste your time on that. I know nothing about creating stuff, so i had no idea that you will have to remake them completely. I was just asking, but i definitely don't want you to go through that much work. I do have all your naturals, too and you are right- with a lot of the features are the same and i'll be perfectly fine with just them. I'll still take customs of the skins with facial details if you ever get around to doing them, but if it's gonna be too much work, don't worry about them either. Thank you for responding and being so sweet :)

I'll have the custom versions of the supernatural skins up tomorrow, I beleive. I haven't been home much for the past few days, so I didn't get a chance to make those.

I hope it's not inappropriate to ask this here but I was wondering if it's possible to get these as default replacements? I just had an alien born for the first time in my game and the regular skin is hideous. I found a few default replacements at other sites but Anomoly is the one that I truly love the most but since he's already born, the new skin doesn't show up.

Alternatively, if you don't have time to do it, could you point me in the direction of a tutorial or something that would tell me how to make it a default?

Thanks and as always, great work.

PS. I finally got around to playing Langston, he's married and they're expecting child #1 so I will be sending you pics as you asked way back when. :) Do I just link them here or...?

here's a tutorial:

Please understand that I wouldn't mind making it myself, but I know that if I did take it upon myself I wouldn't get around to it for a while, I'm so swamped with schoolwork.
Once I have some free time, if you haven't been able to make it yourself, I'd be happy to do it for you.

And you can link the pictures right here, I'll be so happy to see them!
