(The names of these options may differ depending on which image editor you're using.) Back in the Skininator popup, click the 'Import Image' button and import the modified image, then click the Save button. Then save it as DDS with compression DXT5 and Generate MipMaps. Open it in your favorite image editor and use a hue paintbrush to change the color to a nice gold. Click 'Export Image', name and save the DDS image. Click the 'Texture in CAS' image and a popup will appear with the image and some buttons.

In this case I need to export the skin color image and modify it. Last, I click the 'Commit Changes' button. If you want both, add a second Occult flag and set it to Alien.) I'll click the 'Swatch Color' square, select white just to make sure a valid color is included, and set the sort order to 100 so the skin will appear after the game skintones. (If you want it for aliens, set the value to 'Alien'. And most important, I'll add the Occult property flag and set it to Human so the skintone will show up for human sims. There's no SkinHue value that would be meaningful for white skin so I'll skip that. (No, I don't know what that means, only that it appeared in all skintones with patch 1.13.) I'll add the SkintoneType flag and set it to Fantasy. The first cloned skintone is a special one and only the property flag of SkintoneBlend appears for it. The two cloned skintones will appear in the list section and the settings for the first one will appear on the right.įirst, I need to set the skin property flags the way I want. Now we move into the Clone Package Editor tab. Give the package a name and save it where you can find it. I'll clone it and the second lightest skintone by checking the boxes next to them and then clicking the big 'Clone!' button. There's a blank white skintone first in the list, which I think is the mannequin skin. You can filter it by basegame or game pack if you wish. In our case, we select the 'Clone Game Skintones' option and a list of skintones will appear.

If you were cloning from a custom skintone package you'd select the 'Custom package' option. When we run Skininator, the list of clonable skintones in the 'Cloning Tool' tab will be empty. You could also clone one skintone and add a skintone to it later. Step 1įirst, we clone two game skintones as new custom content. I'll use overlays for the spots and make them appear darker as the sim gets older.
