Pixie Cold remix

[genvieve]

Finally, I've finished something! :'D

It's a blend of Enayla's Pixie Cold with eyes, nose, lips from Mouseyblue's skins, and with the shine toned down. I've been picking at it for weeks and it's very likely that the moment after I post this I'll suddenly notice more things I want to change - but for now, I'm pretty happy with how it looks.

This skin is not anatomically correct. I only blurred the crotch in case the image host takes offense to scandalously naked barbie groins. Somebody poke me if this image is too big, btw; it looks ok on my screen but it's 550x825 rather than my usual 350x500s.





If you run into any problems with this skin, please let me know! I've checked everything I think but it's entirely possible that I still messed up somewhere.

So here you go:

How pretty! Thank you :)

[genvieve]

Thanks for downloading! :D Have fun with it!

[littlerunningbee]

Oh - these are really cool. Absolutely need to grab them :D

[genvieve]

Yay! ^^ Hope you enjoy them!

[curiousb]

This is utterly beautiful...excuse me while I drool for a few minutes...

I simply must use this for my alien default from now on!

[genvieve]

:D Glad you like them!

(*cough* If you do happen to make them alien default, please share with me? It was my original intent to use this as alien default in my game, but the making-things-default tutorial still confuses the heck out of me, lol.)

[curiousb]

Oh, of course I will! To be honest, I've never defaulted a skintone either, but this is a good excuse to learn... ;)

[genvieve]

Ah, thank you so much! I am always terrified of borking my game through SimPE fiddling.

[curiousb]

I have just started trying to default your lovely skintone this morning, but I'm stuck already! :D

Can I ask if this is for all ages, as it doesn't seem to have as many textures as the default skintone I'm using as a template?

EDIT: ignore me, I'm being stupid! Your skintone uses the same textures for different ages, I think?

[genvieve]

It's for all ages, but I followed Pooklet's guide for keeping file size small, so many of the textures are the same:

all faces = one texture, except baby (which has no teeth)

all "hair" (scalp) = one texture

female body fit/normal teen and adult = one texture
female body fat teen and adult = one texture

female body fit/normal elder = one texture
female body fat elder = one texture

adult body fit/normal elder, teen, and adult = one texture
adult body fat elder, teen, and adult = one texture

baby body has its own texture
baby face has its own texture

toddler body has its own texture

child body has its own texture


Hope this helps!

[curiousb]

Thanks for this - it confirms that I've done the right thing (I think)!

Anyway, It's all done now, so I'll send it to you via PM. :)

[genvieve]

:D Pm'd you back, and thanks again so much! I'm editing the entry now to add a link to your default, with credit.

[pyxidis]

This skin is gorgeous, I remember seeing it in the creations thread and hoping you'd release it. :D
I've added you as well to keep track of the pretties, I hope you don't mind.

[genvieve]

/adds back ;D

I'm glad you like it!

I'm hoping to have more updates soon - after I've finished my Christmas in July stuff - including tattoo/facepaint makeup for these guys

[metatwaddle]

Oooohhhh. I always thought this skintone would look nice blended. You did a wonderful job, thanks so much!

Adding your DW, too. :)

[genvieve]
