The second
situation is a little trickier. When the default
mesh has a non standard naming convention, like
Astronaut01. Besides renaming the BMP file you
must rename the mesh you want to use to skn-astronaut01-PELVIS.BODY.skn. Of course you
have to change the contents of the SKN file as
well in NotePad.exe. You have to create the
astronaut01.cmx file as well.
When the
default uses a standard naming convention, like B001MaFat_01
for the extreme outfit extra attention must be
paid. Changing the mesh will have effect on all
skins that use the B001MaFat bodymesh, even your
regular Sims! So be careful.
D. Use
a customized or regular outfit (type 1) as a NPC
Sim.
To replace
a NPC skin and mesh with a customized one the
same procedure as described in C. is applicable.
There is only one thing you cannot change: the
skintone. Well not exactly true, you can change
the skintone by just coloring the skin of course.
You are only not able to change the color of the
hands. Of course you can always pretent the NPC
is wearing gloves, but it is just something to
keep in mind. NPCs shipped with Livin’ Large
however, do have dedicated hand skins.
E. Use
a customized or regular outfit (type 1) as a
Pjama, bathingsuit or formal (type 4)
Of all
default outfits pajama, bathingsuit and formals
are a very special ones. You can change outfits
according to the same procedures as described in
C. However, there is much more possible with
these 3 outfits, which will be described in a
seperate guide. At this moment, keep in mind:
Both kids
and adults use the same skins for the Pajamas BMP
file. The skin file is not dependent on the
bodytype so fat, fit and skinny bodytypes will
all use the same BMP file. changing the default
by placing a new mesh in the Skins folder will
affect both adults and children.
Bathingsuits
are dependent on skintone and bodytype. It is
important to keep in mind that the bathingsuit is
using the same mesh as the naked body mesh.
Changing the first will affect the second and
vise versa
Formal
outfits are used as evening clothes as well as
wedding outfits.
This guide is not yet complete since we want probably
change the meshes for a particular Sim as well. Now that is possible
only it will be described in a future guide
