As of now I don't have any idea how do any of this for a mac. I know... it sucks, but hopefully I'll learn this fall with other 3D apps or something and then launch a Mac version of everything. |

- [ Skins ] - |
| Okay, the skins. For ever character I
am making a universal body mesh. What does this mean you ask?!
It means that this mesh (or the 'bones' and also just random *.cmx files) will fit all the different skins
(the *.bmp files) I hopefully end up making. The meshes at some point will end up
being specific for which Garbage era I am in. (IE the BG Shirley
mesh will be very different from the other eras due to her current hair
and boots).
You also must put all of the skins and body meshes in a very certain directory. C:/Program Files / Maxis /The Sims / GameData /Skins (the bold part may vary depending where you installed it on your computer) -- When deciding to download the Universal body mesh for the band member, the skin, or the complete package... download the complete package. If you know you already have the universal body mesh for that certain era then all you have to do is download the skins (the new bitmap files to show up over the bones). All the different skins will show up in the game. **Only the skins and meshes as one are available at this time. *The new skins will show up when you go to make new characters. |
