So, I downloaded almost every enayla skin that had "Pixie" in front of it, and I plan to edit them all.. yeah.
I wanted to do the same as I did with the unnatural set: update the skins with new parts & make them softer and appealing to a wider variety of simmers.
I've got 9 done so far, and here they are!

Model is the same in all pictures, she has plump lips and small-ish eyelids. No eyebrows, make-up, or photoshopping. The sims are pictured with the eyes that are on the skintone. I'm not going to go into detail of what I changed, just see for yourself:

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

As I've said before, I'd be thrilled to see pictures. And I'm going to work on the mass of pixie skins I have left, but I'm working this weekend so I won't be as productive until Monday.

Just wanted to say that these are beautiful! I hardly ever download skins, even from my favorite creators, but I had to download these. Immediately opening up body shop to play around. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! And an extra thanks for geneticizing and townifying them, I hate doing that. So what if they don't match perfectly with my other geneticized skins :P

I tried to make them match a bit more to the skins out there than the originals did, so hopefully they won't stick out so much in your game. Enjoy!

I have many of the pixie skins but there are a couple here that I didn't have and yours are stunning. Thanks and all that good stuff.

Oh, thank you so much! and thank you to whoever posted something about me, I really appreciate the advertising.

There are a lot of talented creators on lj, and lots of CC to go with them, if you haven't been here before I suggest making an account yourself, it's very convenient. ;D

(and all the files are clearly labeled, so you can keep just the ones you really want, the files are pretty small too, less than 1MB a file, I think)

I really love these a lot. They fit in much better with my other skintones now. I have an assload of geneticized skins, and sometimes it's weird to have the Pixie skins in families next to the more refined blends that people are making these days. Yours is a really beautiful and much-needed update to these skins.

I also appreciate your geneticizing and townifying them for us. It's great to have something that will spawn on your townies and children the minute you unzip the file and load the game!

P.S. There's one skintone in the file that you didn't preview. I'm unzipping it anyway, since I love Pixie Rubies and I'm sure your version is gorgeous, but you might want to put a preview here.

Thank you for pointing that out, I don't even have a preview for it, I don't think.. I was planning to put it in with the second set of skins. I'd better go wip up a preview ASAP.

I'm so glad you liked the skins, and that you're happy they're townified/geneticized, I was a little worried some people wouldn't want that.

There are probably a couple who prefer the custom skins, but... honestly, if you like a skintone enough to download it, I don't see why you wouldn't want it to spawn on your kids and townies! (Unless, you know, it's an alien or fantasy skin.) I have quite a few skintones, and I don't want to have to go through the trouble of making new sims (whom I probably won't play) every time I download a new one. I can only imagine what would happen if I tried to do that with my 1200+ eyes... I think my game would lead an armed revolution against me.

I feel the same way, especially since I play my game really legacy-style, and it is just too boring to have all my townies spawn with the same eyes and skin.

needlecream, these are just so lovely and smooth! I love em all- in fact, I would be downloading like crazy if I weren't on my sims computer. Enayla's originals were so cracked and rough. I love what you've done to them. :)

thank you very much! I never use any dark skins on my sims, because I just don't have many dark skins, so I wanted to make sure I got some fixed up to use. Have fun with them!

Seeing the comparisons I now realize why the originals were pulled out of my downloads folder a while ago. Holy pixelation/compression! I'll be grabbing a couple of these, thanks!

I hadn't realized how.. textured? her skins were until I opened up the project files, I was surprised myself. I'm so glad I've made these skins more usable!

Replace old skins so sims have the new ones?

Date: October 27th, 2009 04:58 pm (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
Do you know if there is a way to make your very pretty skins replace the old ones in such a way that my sims who use the original Enayla skins wouldn't be broken? I'd love to just be able to swap them if there is a idiot proof way to do it :)

Your work is really great, thanks for sharing it!

yes. If you extract my image files (you can do it in simPE) and then open up the enayla skin, you can just replace those images with mine, and they will show up as the new skin.

I really like the qhality of all of your skin blends. I have many of the originals in my game. Since it crashed on me last night, I might see about replacing some of them with yours.

Thank you! These are pretty old, actually, but I always did like Enayla's skins and I made these blends to sort of keep the things I liked about the old ones, but make them match the newer skins out there, too.

Hey, I blended your edit of Pixie Delicate with the original Enayla skin and did some recolours of it here: http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=7759.
