Infant Diaper Replacement

[PlyrNdHlp]

Ah-hah! I looked at my graphics settings and I thought that they weren't turned up all the way. Wow that was stupid of me. Thanks sooo much for the help everyone! I really should of checked the settings without assuming things.

Not a problem, everyone makes that mistake Just glad you came right

[BlooM]

i dont believe this.....
The screenshot he showed was the default baby maxis diaper mesh.
Your not telling me that by updating the graphic settings that mesh gets replaced by mine?
I have seen many strange things in sims2 but this is very hard to believe

Hold on I'll post a picture:



i just took this today

Well I finally got my recolor to work in game, the hat and outfit turned out good, but somehow his arms and legs turned white (that was the outside). How do you get it so that it doesn't color the arms and legs but only the outfit and hat? LOL, I don't usually have trouble recoloring meshes! ;p

You need to save the parts you don't want to show as a transparant colour. I would suggest because you have white in the hat to change the surrounding colour to for eg red and then save the red colour as a transparant..thats if you use irvanview and normal paint. If you are lucky and have psp you only have to make that part transparant. It is also advisable to use the build dxt feature instead of copy and paste. That way your patterns on your outfit won't blur.

ah, ok, that's what I forgot! Thanks!

[Theraven]

does anyone know why this happens? (this is without any meshes/recolors at all, just plain maxis). when I take out the overrides, the baby ends up looking like this.

[AlbinoBambi]

Are you sure you don't have anything left? You know that mesh that you used for the hatless outfits, isn't that a loose mesh, that you accidentally left in?

[Theraven]

nope. I've not left anything in. here it was the opposite - I forgot to put one in
thoughg, I've had a few small troubles with infant meshes. once when I was using one that needed a mesh, it still used the maxis diaper mesh even though I'd put in the mesh I wanted.

[BlooM]

Wat you see is not the Default diaper mesh, its the nude mesh, wich means there is still a replacement active.
If im correct this is the replacement windkeeper once relinked.
Wat she did is relink the diaper mesh to the original maxis nude mesh and you still have that one installed.
I think this is your replacement you had installed before you installed my meshes.
When you requested the hat on the nude mesh you showed me lots of recolors, all based on this mesh.
The reason it looks strange is that you prolly took out all the texture replacement files so the original diaper textures got back in the game.
Those diaper textures need the original maxis diaper mesh to fit well.

That will also explain your previous problems with my replacement meshes.
The original diaper mesh has a 3d diaper, it really sticks out.
There were similar problems with the male boxermeshes
The moment peeps used my replacements the original shape of the boxermesh popped up again, alot peeps were so surprised as they totally forgot they installed windkeepers files years ago.
Her files dont include meshes, she simply relinked that boxer mesh to a nude mesh
She did the same with the male teen boxer and Elder

I think I found the problem. I did a search on two other meshes I've had in my game (I don't think any of them were windkeeper's) and found one somewhere it certainly didn't belong. the strange thing is that your meshes have worked in spite of this mesh being there. I didn't find the mesh the last time I searched, though.

Strange.

[BlooM]

There's a very easy explanation for it....
When the game starts it reads all files in alphabetical order, so if my files are on top of the list(the reason i let peeps use the Defaults folder )
the game reads those first and will ignore others

That is looking very good. Thank you.
