Swatches for Default Replacement Eyes
Hullo, all. Apologies if I've gotten this in the wrong board.
I'm a longtime lurker and recent convert from Sims 3. I have some experience with tuning mods in s3pe, and completed my first default eye replacements and a recolor for Sims 2 today. I'd like to update the swatches from the EA standard to what my default eyes look like. I've been following
this tutorial/Q&A thread, and have managed to get the default eye swatches extracted from the Sim07 package in the basegame root.
My problem is I don't know how to add swatches to a package file that doesn't have them already - the tutorials I followed for the default replacement had me replace the textures on a pre-existing default replacement mod. Can I open a new project in Bodyshop and let it create a default swatch for me, as I did with my recolor? Or is there specific protocol that has to be followed for default replacements and default replacements alone?
(It would also be cool to replace the default face template swatches with those of the default replacements I'm using - I assume I'd use the same technique once I get this sorted out?)
