Birthmarks?

[Loz]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Aussie Karima]

I am guessing you want Sims2 birthmarks?
~ all I could find was this Sims3 version,which is re-color-able!And because of the sliders you can change the intensity of the color!

~ If you want a Sims2 birthmark they have to make it a face mask,or as a make-up!preferably layer-able!
~ I found this S2 scar & birthmark at MTS,but I am sure you have already seen it!(Sorry it does not state what ages it is for,but that is something that is an easy fix!PM me & I will explain or do it for you if this suits!)

My gosh Karima how did you manage to find that? I went hunting around for this with absolutely no luck at all, and I searched MTS first. I'm going to put that link up over in links right away.

[Loz]

Oh my gosh, Karima; that's PERFECT!!! Thank you so much!! Like Jo said, I searched MTS2 first and never found that, so I'm really grateful to you. It would be great if it could work on babies and toddlers, but I know babies might be a little complicated; still, if you know of a way to do it I'd love to know how!

I'm just off to check it works in my game now You've made my day; thank you again!!

EDIT: Hmm, it's not showing up in my game I can't find it anywhere, and I've looked everywhere for it: make-up, face paint, accessories, skintones... Any idea why it isn't working for me?

[joandsarah]

Hmm let me see if I can get it...

Reading the thread I see a comment saying it appears at adulthood, and I think it's a skin so it should show up in skintones.

[Loz]

Yes, I read the comments too, and I've looked in skintones but it's definitely not there. Besides, if it is a skintone, I can't really use it, as the sim I'll be using it on will be a character in my story and will be the future daughter of one of my current sims, so I can't change her skintone as it'll be a mixture of her parents'.

[joandsarah]

Well you can change skin tone from toddler on with the skin changer, but if it's a whole lot lighter then the skin they are born with it won't be any good.

Karima might be able to do something. I have a phantom of the Opera mask which covers about half the face. I bet that could be recoloured. I really wish I knew how to make cc, I've looked at a few tutorials lately on making baby clothes but it makes me go...

[Loz]

Yeah, I've looked at tutorials for making CC and it gets me all confuddled too

What do you mean by the skin changer? And if Karima could make something for me, that would be wonderful; I feel awful for asking though

[joandsarah]

I think it's on MTS, once you have it installed you 'load' skins into it (looks like a painting) then get the sim to choice the skin they want.

[Aussie Karima]

It is not a skin tone, as it states it goes on any skin, so I would say it is a mask & will be found there were the masks are!
~ I also found this if you have further problems!(Info from MTS!)

~PS~ This is from the maker::It should work on both men and women, any age, any skintone.
Thanks, I tried hard to make it look right. ^^
~ Were you find it is hard because it has all these heads,just keep passing the mouse over each one(if they are labeled!) or click on each one to see what it looks like or what it brings up on your Sim in CAS!

[Loz]

*smacks head* I am SO stupid.... I hadn't even downloaded it!! I could have sworn I had, but I just tried again and apparently it was never even in my downloads folder, so no wonder it wasn't working! I've downloaded it properly now though and it works fine, so sorry! It works on toddlers, so all I'd like now is for it to work on babies too; would you be able to tell me how to do that? Thank you so much for all your help, guys

[Aussie Karima]

;D There is a slight problem there, in order for this to show up on a baby you have to put it on a skin for it to show up on a baby,you could always edit it into your picture for your story, as I know the skins you are using are already being used on your Sims!
~ That is the only way it can be done, as babies can not be changed at the dresser/change station,so you can not equip it!
~ But it can be Photo edited onto your babies face,for your story!

[Loz]

I thought it probably wasn't possible to do it on a baby born in-game. Okay then, how would I edit it into my pictures? I don't have anything fancy like photoshop, unfortunately Maybe I could just not show the baby's face too much...

[Aussie Karima]

I don't have Photoshop, I just use PaintNet, it is free!
~ If you have problems doing it, I will do it for you,all I need is pic of the baby & a separate pic of a Sim with a similar skin tone with the birthmark!
~ I can then take the birthmark of the face,re-size it & re-angle it & put it on each picture you show of the baby(you will only need one or two!)
~ It will not take long to do that! I fix pics all the time,I am getting fast at it! And I don't mind helping, OK!

[Loz]

Wow, thank you so much!! It'll probably be a while until I need it as I'm still working on the first chapter of the story and it's taking me ages My sims are at uni right now, so I'll have to wait until they've finished uni, grown up and had the baby, which will probably take another 2 or 3 chapters. I was just planning ahead and making sure that the CC I wanted did actually exist

I might have a look at PaintNet then, if it's good. I wasn't sure if there were any free photo editing programmes available that were any good and easy for a beginner to use.

Thanks again for all your help!
