23rd Jun 2009, 10:02 PM	How to make Default Skins and Eyes #1
Upgraded_Dragon_Hacker Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 50 Thanks: 2124 in 8 Posts 7 Achievements	I was wondering how you can make "Default Skins" and "Default Eyes" in TS3. I have seen both replacement eyes and skin for TS3 (Mind the quality wasn't that great). Does anyone know how to do it, or how they did it? I know I can make the Sims look FAR more realistic with even some of the skins and eyes from TS2. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank You. :D
	If you have a request please explain it thoroughly! (At least one and a half paragraphs & supply the needed pictures / meshes, or else I will throw it away without looking at it and I will not "PM" you that I will not do it.)

Then use can use the windows file search to find files for example with "eye" and look into them (but you probably have to change the file extension to dds first). Then edit it if nessesary and reimport it into a new package.

This is very nice, and thanks for that, but if you want to replace other things, you need my approach. For example if you want to replace the freckles and moles or any other texture. Or if you want to replace the bumpmap, too, which I will for the skintone I'm working on.
