If you look at the seams on the inside of the legs you can tell which one is the updated version (New one is seamless)....unfortunately I didn't notice how bad they looked at first (The first versions)...I plan to redo ALL OF THEM this way when I fix the other problem that they don't work for everyone. I am going to clean off my hard drive this week (which I do every few months ...i just like getting a fresh start) Well when I do that I am going to only install sims2 (base game) and use my laptop for game play. I feel that should take care of the issue. Then we can also expect more skins.

I now have sims of all of these skin-colors in my neighborhood, but only one each, so far, all female. [ No-one has gotten pregnant, yet. ] They all work fine, for me. The biggest issue I have with them is that they appear to have "scars" just above the groin-crease. Not a very big issue, eh? My favorite feature is that they have, er, "details" that most skins don`t have. I believe that these are what some call "non-Barbie"; much more realistic despite the odd colors. I`d love some "non-Barbie" versions of the default Maxis skins. Does anyone know where I could find some here at MTS2?

Hey, I'm still here.

Did these ever get fixed?

Still not working for me...

Is anyone still even here?

I exported the files with Body Shop and when I checked out the files, for some reason there was nothing but a swatch in there - no texture files or anything.

Strangest problem I have ever seen.

These are great alien skins. Thanks for sharing.

So, these aren't supposed to be default skin replacements? 'cause I think the blue one replaced my alien skin. I was kind of getting suspicious when the alien babies were all turning blue, but then I noticed that Pollination Technician#9 was blue! Any suggestions on what I'm supposed to do?

These are not working for me as well. Is there some way of dowloading it properly? All of them look tan in my bodyshop. >.<


HELP PLEASE??

Hey for those of you whom it is not working for I haven't forgot about you. I am working on the issue. I am a college student trying to become a graphic designer and unfortunately I had been very overwhelmed this semester. I promise I haven't given up. Plus I am hoping to convert these for sims3 ...if at all possible. Anyway I am sorry and sim designing is something I love to do in my free time, I just haven't had much time recently. Hopefully holiday break will give me the chance.

Thank you all for your support! ~ Astiees

Yay, it's break time! I'm really hoping to see those new uploads soon! Such gorgeous gorgeous skins that, of course, don't work on my computer! =(
I'll be checking back frequently, can we expect them before next semester starts? (I'm very excited!!)
THANK YOU!

These were made with an unpatched Pets Body Shop, so anyone who isn't running Pets or later will be unable to see them, they will show as S2.

To astiees: To fix, get Numenor's AnyGameStarter and set up a configuration that doesn't include Pets or any expansions later than Pets. Then remake the skintones using that configuation's Body Shop.

I really, really want these Astiees.
They look great, i hope they can get fixed when you have a chance.
I know you are a student, and i am waiting patiently.
So no hurry, just drooling over the nice pics... haha.
Please don't forget us, i do hope you get a much deserved break soon, and i hope school is going great for you as well.

Sparkly skins! That's just too wild an idea to resist. (I strongly suspect I'm not the first one to think of Edward Cullen at a beach?)

BTW, the models for the the blue skin are melting my screen. Any chance that you'd upload them?

OK you must all hate me lol.... Yet I love you all. Yes school has been busy still is... I have a paper due Monday and an Art History test Wednesday...I had a sculpture due Thursday and an American Gov Essay exam Friday. But atlas I do have a new file for those of you the other ones do not work for A-SNS-UPDATED.zip

I have also fixed and improved the skin as well, it should be virtually seamless. I don't know if it will work, so don't murder me if it doesn't. But its the best odds we've gotten so far since it was redone on a comp with no EP's. Please try and let me know your results ASAP...will be much appreciated.

The skin in Updated appears to be working in a NightLife Only set up.

Good luck on your Art History test.

Yeah I am sure your not the only one to think of cullen. I made these way before I ever heard of sparkly vampires... but it is the reason that I made two extra pale skins for my next upload. Which is going to be Flesh tones of sparkly skins...even more sparkly. I made 6 so far there might be 9 or 10 in end.

I honestly don't know if I even have the models even more. But if I ever find those maybe I could send you a zip...I doubt their unique enough for upload. :/ Will see.
