In the Plugin view, click the Categorized Properties tab, scroll down until you see Default Textures, and search for вЂњstdMatBaseTextureNameвЂќ.

Look now for the AM, EF, EM, TF and TM faces.

Press commit, the color of the letter will change.

You will see it is named вЂњaffacevampire_pale_txtrвЂќ.

On the Material Definition list I search the вЂњaffacevampire_pale_txtrвЂќ name.

I want teen-elders to pick the textures from вЂњaffacevampire_pale_txtrвЂќ, the only texture I leaved for all of them.

Now you have to link each texture to the correct base texture. You will now have 7 textures, you do not need more. STEP THREE: Want to reduce file size? Sure you do!Дelete these textures in Simpe (right-click and delete, they will appear labeled): amfacevampire-pale, effacevampire-pale, emfacevampire-pale, tmfacevampire-pale embodyvampire-pale, tmbodyvampire-pale tfbodyvampire-pale ufhairbaldvampire-pale.

Go to File-Save asвЂ¦ and save it somewhere with a descriptive name.

You will get a menu, DONвЂ™T change anything.

To do this, right-click on the texture preview and click Build DXT. You see? It is semi-transparent, your overlay should look like this too!

Click one of the textures and look at it in the Plugin view.

Open the vampire skin you have downloaded in SimPe.You can too make it semitransparent if you want some kind of color overlay or something like that. NOTE: Do you want your vampires to have the eyes they had before turning into vampires? Turn the part where eyes are into transparent, totally transparent. If you want to do this, remove the face/body layer and save the overlay layer you have created for them. You can use the textures you have as a simple guide to add only some details, this way you can make your vampires have their normal skintone but with eyebangs, veins, etc.In photoshop you just have to double-click the background layer and you will have a menu for it to act like a normal layer. Open the textures in Photoshop, GIMP, etc.

This way you will only have 5 textures to work with. As it is an overlay, go as simple as you can, I recommend you to work with: tf-af body, ef body, tm-em body, unisex hair, one face for everyone. Only teen sims or older can be vampires, and they only have one body texture for each age and gender (only one AF body texture, for example).Export the textures of the skin you want to use as overlay.In this tutorial I have followed the example of a vampire skin, but you can use it for BOTH three, as they work the same way. Both three are only for teen and up and both three are semi-transparent. Vampire skins, good witches/warlocks skins and bad witches/warlocks skins work exactly the same way. For this reason, the way to create default replacement for them is a bit different than the way to create normal skins. Vampires and witches skins are really overlays that cover their skin.

OVERLAYS: HOW TO CREATE DEFAULT SKINS THAT USE OVERLAYS These are independent files, so you can edit just one of them or both)

Plantsim (plantsims have two skins: the green one and the wilt one.

As I do not want to make this tutorial too long, go to the normal skins tutorial and follow those steps, using the skin you have downloaded. These skins work the same way as normal skins do. As my normal skins tutorial already covers how to do default skin, in this one, I will only explain how to make the overlays.

Not all creatures have skintones, some of them have simply overlays that act like full body make up, covering the original skintone.

I donвЂ™t want you to lose your time searching default skins, so you can click the link of the supernatural and you will go to the download page. They do not have any ovelay soвЂ¦ they will simply have their normal skintone.Д«ad witches and warlocks - Apartment Life Neutral witches and warlocks (Apartment Life). Good witches and warlocks - Apartment Life Servo (Open for bussines) We canвЂ™t edit the skin (because they donвЂ™t have xD), so we will not talk about this in the tutorial.Д«igfoot/Yeti (Bon Voyage) - He is actually wearing bigfoot clothes and a face mask. Not all creatures have skitones, some of them have simply overlays that act like full body make up, covering the original skintone. Well, first of all, here is a list of the creatures that have came with The Sims 2 and all the EPs. As in my normal default skin creating, we will create all the skintones from an already existing replacement, mainly because it is much easier.
