Frequently Asked Questions:
Where did you get (random piece of custom content)?
Chances are, whatever it is, it's linked to here, in my resources post (link opens in new window).For skintones, what's the difference between default, genetic, and custom?
Worlds. Here's a breakdown:- Custom: A custom skintone is one that will only show up on sims that you're built with it, and those sims' kids. A custom skin, as far as genetics are concerned, is totally dominant, which means that unless your sim breeds with another sim that has a different custom skin, all the kids are going to end up with the parent's skintone.
- Genetic: A genetic skin has a value attached to it, based on how dark it is. 10 being the lightest, 90 being the darkest. If a sim with 10 skin has a child with a sim with 90 skin, their child could be born with any skintone that's categorised as being between those two numbers. That way, you can have mixed babies!
- Default: A default skin is one that overrides the texture of the regular Maxis skins in your game. Putting this in your downloads folder means that it won't show up as custom content, but that all sims created without a custom skintone will have this one instead of default Maxis.
What is townifying?
That's what you do to make something townie available. It's done with either SimPE or the Wardrobe Wrangler, and it makes it so that new generated townies can be spawned with hair, makeup, clothing, eyes, skins, or accessories that you've downloaded.My question isn't answered here. What now?
Since, uh, I haven't actually frequently been asked any questions, that wouldn't be surprising! So, feel free to ask at the forum, or contact me directly. If enough people ask me the same question, I'll put it here. XD
