teenage clothes for adults?

[marruk]

i've got a quiestion, i don't know if this is possible, but i want some ingame clothes whose are only for teenagers for adults. not only the colours etc. but also the shape. is this possible with simpe or gameextractor or something?

Since adults are bigger then the teenagers, you have to just manually edit the clothes to fit the adults. I'm pretty sure there is no way around this. So, if you aren't very good in photoshop....

Aloha:)

I tried exporting a teen skin/mesh & changed the file bits so it would be adult, then loaded into BS. It did load the skin/mesh on the adult but because the adult is taller there was a large gap between the head & the shoulders :/ There would also be some editing at the sides, but the biggest problem was the gap between the head & shoulders.

We really need more meshes!

I've been working out my clothing creating ability (it's coming along well) and have recently made a bikini for a adult female. I liked it enough to want it for a teen as well, so I took the simplest route and just used Body Shop, exported one of the in game bathing suits (like I did for the adult), took my completed adult bikini images that I just got done importing into the game, copy and pasted them over the 2 for the teen and bam. It actually looks good...yes sure, there are a few spots (hard to see) here and there, but editing those to fit the teen would be super easy.

So I would say just export the teen clothing you want and edit to fit. It really shouldn't be that hard as the adult isn't all that much taller or curvier than the teen. Might take some messing with, but you'll get it. :)

Take care,

"I tried exporting a teen skin/mesh & changed the file bits so it would be adult.."
This is the information I am missing that I'm looking all over for, exactly how is this done? thanks

[whistlrr]

*Pretty please* tell me as for whatever reason, this seems to be the very best kept secret regarding skinning -- I can't find it anywhere (Iif I have to look at another 'skinning totural' that's all about and only about recoloring I'm gonna scream) I need *this* info. thanks

You can do this using SimPe also.

Short overview:
-Open the package you've made and extract it.
-Open the extracted "property-set" in a hex-editor
-Change the byte after "age" to the desired age. I don't remember, but I think it is "04" for teens, "08" for adult and "16" for elder.... (see the wiki maybe?)

-Then open the changed file in simpe and save it.

OK, ...I assume you can learn the details about simpe yourself, so I didn't explain each small detail, menu choice and mouse-click here *s*

Anyway, hope this will help you on your way....

PS!
If you want to change the mesh also: it's a bit more tricky, but it's found in the "AC506764 - Image Color Palette Version 2"

I remember "mtbeer" had a few post on this regarding the extraction of the hidden figures such as the reaper. Search for this author on this forum, and you should find some pointers on what to do.

Totaly in uncharted terratory for me, hexeditors and all.. found an '08' in the newly installed (just for this venture) "HHD Hex Editor" and hoping its the right one, made it a 16.. what hex editor do you guys use btw? when it comes to the hex editor stuff at least to start, I might not mind "point and click here' stuff a little.. here goes nothing, opening up my hoipefully correctly modifed "elderlyExportTest" and hoping nothing explodes, heh

[whistlrr]

Nope, must be missing something yet, some step somewhere. When I load the project back into bodyshop its as it was before, loading onto an adult (not elderly) manniquin :(
I'll work on it some more

[whistlrr]

Also, how are you getting them into your savedsims bin? I packaged a complete sim with what I'm working with and then installed it, nothing new in my savedsims (noticed in another thread for hair you'd suggested working on a copy there) are you just copying the whole bunch of project files over there? Went into the game and confirmed, my new work is not there for elderly. :(

[whistlrr]

I wasn't able to find the age codes in the wiki either

[whistlrr]

YES I DID IT WOOHOO!!!!!
About had a brain anuerism to to id but Grandpa has some basic white underwear now!!

[Rockerduck]

With the hex values?

[whistlrr]

Yep, and I'm figuring out what some of the values are as I go.. looks like elderly is 10, adult is 08, (assuming teen would be 06, child 04 but I've not checked those out yet so I don't know) infant/tolddler is 01, looks like female is 02, male is 01 and possible both genders are 03 -- I never did find any codes like this in the wiki or elsewhere. I uploaded my tight-underweared elderly to this site at the uploads link as a rar and with a screenshot but I have no idea what happened to him since, where he went (I sent him to the outfits section I'm sure of it) but I don't see him there - maybe the moderators have to see and approve him first?
I never did find a tutorial on this really, guessed at what VelvetCude and Mtbeers meant, got lucky and guessed right, I may try to make a step-by-step tutorial for people like me who are really just startups to this when I'm done and after I know a few more of the things myself.
I'd upload him right here in this thread if I could see how (hunting for an upload button, not seeing one so far, only just now found the 'edit' button or there wouldn't be fifty million posts by me in a row in this thread. Clearly its possible since others do it but its a mystery to me or I'd share him on this site if I could. He's on the sims Exhange on MySim at least.

There's an "Upload" link at the top of the page.

[whistlrr]

There's an "Upload" link at the top of the page.
Yep, that was the first thing I tried. I .rared a file, made a screenshot of it in bodyshop, made it into a .jpg, named it, and uploading there was my first move. I just have no idea where it went after I uploaded it I filled in the required fields, pointed at the correct files, picked outfits/clothing as the target place for it, clicked to upload, etc, it just simply never showed up.
I have no idea why.

[whistlrr]

Let's see if this works, found a 'file to attach' section under 'post a reply' (which I only just now noticed, only ever saw 'quici reply' before). Lets see if this lets me upload it.

here is the screenshot to go with it.

Attachment for message does not work..
I cant downlaod attached file.
No screen shot is seen, neither inline nor as a clickable link..

[Rockerduck]

Yes, something is seriously messed up with that. When I tried to add images of the house I'd built the links didn't become clickable too. Had to use the "link" tag instead of the "img" tag in order for them to even be clickable. :(

But whistlrr, a tutorial on this would be VERY welcome! I figure I can manage it without, but it always comes in handy to have step-by-step instructions in case I'm feeling the urge to hex edit at 4 am again ;-)

Some of the teen and adult outfits are so nice I want them for other Simmies to wear... especially the elders only have really, REALLY ugly stuff

[Morague]

Aloha,

Here's what I did. I exported the teen dress & an adult dress in BS. BS places a file in the Projects folder that has a file extension of sknprj. Open these files in Notepad & look at the Name string to see which one belongs to the teen & which one belongs to the adult.

Copy the Templateid number from the teen to the adult. Then save the file. Copy the bitmaps from the teendress folder to the adultdress folder & then Load the adultdress in BS. This works - the teen dress/mesh is now on the adult but here's the problem - because the adult is taller, the mesh doesn't work & you end up with a gap between the head & shouldres :/

[Morague]

Sorry - this works for the adult & elders, although it gives the elder female the same body shape as an adult (better bust) I just tested it & found no gaps. This would probaby be good for pants & skirts.
