pajama party...

Please don't mind me, because I'm not sure if this is a worthy post, or just a chance to see Dallas and Lucy in their skivvies, lol! TS3 does them well!

Oh, but wait, what I wanted to talk about was SKINS! Yes, that's what it was. Skins. I found a new set of skin-shade sliders for my lovely alien family! So I thought I'd use Dallas to test them out. Of course, for comparing them to a normal human skin, we'll need Lucy to demonstrate the difference. That's what this is really about. Yes, that's right!... ;)

So the following skins are all within the same slider range, which is pretty cool! This is set #18, from here: @GOS by scones. Dallas and his sisters will wear the skin and shade above (which as you can see, is a lot pinker and human-like in game than it is in CAS). The neat thing about these color sliders is that they work with your default skins, and just by nudging the shade along the slider, you get all kinds of really cool and individual tones! So awesome!

Again, all of these shades are on the same slider. Other sliders just have a different range of color tones - anything you could imagine!

The shade on the left is one I think I'll use for Orion. And the shade in the middle is a lot like what Orion's natural skincolor used to be, which just might come in handy in the future of this story! ;)

The extreme end of this slider looks something like this, lol! Not something I'll ever use in my story, I don't think, but still very cool!

And again, I love that while some of these shades are quite out there - a lot of them are also very human-like and unique.

But I suppose that by putting one of these sliders on a human Sim, they'll be genetically likely to pass on the skin to their children, who might come out in a different slider range and end up bright pink, lol! Ah well, nothing the Master Controller - Edit in CAS can't fix ;)

Now one for comparison: TS3 Lucy and Dallas vs. their TS2 versions.

I got a new bunch of facial sliders, so I was able to do more work with Dallas's forehead and jawline, which I'm a lot happier with now.

I do miss the TS2 short ponytail hair I had on Dallas (and Corbin!) most recently though. Man, that was a good ponytail, lol!
