User blog:HeronX232/MySims PC - How to make your own Sim override

Today is a lesson, a lesson in making your own sim override. So sit down grab your notebooks and listen, er, read.

Getting Started
First you're gonna want to know what you want to make, as a tutorial we're going to recreate Poppy's alpha appearance. We're going to start with opening by opening her character def., for those who don't know how follow the steps below.

1. Open My Computer

2. Open Local Disk

3. Open Program Files

4. Open Electronic Arts

5. Open MySims

6. Open SimsRevData

7. Open GameData

8. Open CharacterDefs

9. Right-click "NPC_FloristYounger1_Def" and select Properties

10. Uncheck Read-Only

11: Open "NPC_FloristYounger1_Def"

Doing the job
First off as a warning, back up your original file before you begin editing, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.

To get started with the editing we're going to start with her skin tone.  0    Notice the "0" we're going to be changing that numerical value, the "0" right now denotes she has the lightest skin tone, "1" will give her tanned skin while "2" will giver her the darkest skin, which is what we want.  2    Now that she has the desired skintone we'll move onto her outfit, since her exact outfit does not exist in the final game we'll use the next best thing, Dolly's outfit.  afBodyFloristYoungerSister   _blue  We actually have two values to change, so we now open up Dolly's character file or just wait and look down and replace the value.  afBodyKneeLengthSkirt   _pinkFrill  Now apply the changes and enjoy.

Extras
If you want to look at more outfit datas backtrack to the GameData folder and open Global, in there is the CAS.Inventory file, it contains the string data for all the outfits and hairs in the game so you can pull stuff from there if you need it.

Well that's all for now, I'll see you all later.
