I'm sorry I haven't been as active with my uploads and my updates. I have a Jayne update and I have a few things almost ready for download, but I'm really crunching for time. My schedule has become so busy in such a short amount of time. I haven't given up, though, and I'll be working on things at a slower pace, but I will be working on them. The Sims used in previews will be uploaded tomorrow.


These skins may not be to everyone's taste. I know I've seen some users using these genensims skins with facemasks or nosemasks and I decided I wanted to just have some skins that looked fine make-up free but still had those same effects the originals intended.

Credit:
The creators at genensims, peacht, ephemera, pooklet, rensim, jirka, clover, & tifa. [livejournal.com profile] yreenah deserves special credit, actually, because for the skin displayed in the middle, I used her "Crisp" skin as a base and didn't even edit any of the facial features, it was the perfect shade and the face had just the right effect I wanted.
I used Pooklet skins as a base for the other two bodies, and added in some rensim.
The faces of the outer two (the patchy ones) use bits and pieces from the other creators listed above.

Previews:

(female models are wearing a little bit of make-up, lipstick and eyelashes/shadow, but I've included the facefile for each of the faces so you can see up-close what the lips and eyelids really look like)

woah! Fast comment!
I'm so glad you like it! I know these skins are a little off the "normal" scale, so it's great to know someone likes them!

Okay. So. Why are sims with horrible skin pigmentation issues REALLY CUTE in the sims?! These are GORGEOUS, and make me squee quite heavily. Beautiful, inspiring job!

I don't know why but they're just so cute! When I was making Apollo I was all "D'aww.. look at you with your little patches!"

Thank you for the comment, and I hope you enjoy the skins if you use them!

Yesyesyes new skins! I've been checking your LJ every day for a new update. I think I'm getting addicted.

This is the kind of skintone that I wouldn't normally use in my game, but you make them look so good that I downloaded them anyway. I actually have a question about your fantasy skintones. Are they geneticized the way genensims does it, on another scale than the naturals, what is it again, naturals between 0 and 1, supernaturals between 1 and 2? Or are they in the natural scale?

Thank you so much for these!

I'm sorry it took so long to update!

I geneticize my supernaturals below the maxis pale skin which is I believe .1, usually at .05 or lower so that eerily pale sim families can have supernatural babies (this is because I use pale skins for vampires and whatnot).
You can of course change this with the wardrobe wrangler and a tutorial here:
http://community.livejournal.com/proneyeti/2597.html#cutid1

Most creators do geneticize supernaturals between 1 and 2, but that has to be done in simPE. (and I like Wardrobe Wrangler better)

These skins are set in the middle of the natural scale, around .45 - .55 so if you don't want your normal sim babies to be born like this, either swap them for the custom versions or re-geneticize them. :D

Gorgeous as always! Both the sims and the skins :) I always love your stuffs and i'm sorry i haven't commented on any of it lately. I am just not so much into a downloading mode atm, but i will come back one day and download all the gorgeousness i've missed. Are you by any chance planning on making the first and last skins into "normal" ones, without the face..spots? It's just a question, i am in no way asking you to do it just for me.

Thank you thank you!
Don't worry about it, I haven't been able to post much lately myself because school has started up. ;D

I wasn't planning on it, but if you'd like me to make blends using those features (lips, nose, eyes) I'd be happy to. Would you like four blends, since those two skintones use 2 different shades each?

I am probably only going to use the first and third skin, because I don't really want random Trills popping up in my game, but they all look gorgeous. XD

I love these skins so much! I really liked the idea of the originals, but they didn't fit with my other skins, and that just wouldn't do. Apparently. But these are perfect! They're beautiful and make my sims look insanely adorable. Thank you so much.

Wow NC:

Damn my exams. As usual great work. Hope you are having a good time in college. I would second what 6akalaka1 said, that skintone is too good to be wasted on some less than awesome sim. Yes, the first one is the prettiest. I guess she meant the darker shade in that. Anyway, you have already given us enough to play with. Thanks. Have a great day!!!

Good luck with the exams! Mine are next week. D:
I promise I'll work on the blends once I have time. It's tough because even when I don't have classes I have a lot of reading I need to do, and I feel too guilty/irresponsible to create anything, if I haven't read my materials yet.
Try to take it easy and have some fun with these!
Thank you for the comment. :D

HI NC,

I know how busy you are, but thought I would make a request so that when you haven't decided on what to do next, you could probably give it a look. Ok, I came across an Alien skintone by Anva a long while ago, its not for all ages, but it is so good, it is simply flawless. Would you work on that. http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=4778.0 its the blue green one. I will be very happy to have that skintone. Have a nice day!!!

I'd love to fix that skin for you, once I've got some time to twiddle my thumbs. ;D
I'm going to add it to my sticky, so I won't forget it!

Found your journal and love you content! I especially love these skins but the Trill skin is the best for me. Do you know if anyone's made it into a default replacement for aliens? It's so beautiful.

I don't know if anyone has or not, but once my computer is fixed I can do it for you.
If you want me to re-color it I can do that, too.
But my computer might be broken for a week or so.
