Help with default baby skin

Not necessarily.There are a lot of baby default outfits that have not been updated.

For instance, I choose not to update my own baby defaults because I'm okay with the outfit choices that came with Nifty knitting and don't see a need for a default replacement anymore.

Moreover, I have heard that it's rather tricky to get the default baby skintones and clothes to work with the current version of the game.

@mcrudd could probably help. She makes a lot of really good baby defaults.

This is the skin replacement I use. It's been updated for the Nifty Knitting pack.

So it will work with CC outfits like @mcrudd's, as you can see above, the default maxis outfits, and also with the Nifty Knitting outfits! The skin tones will not necessarily match what the baby will age up to look like though. There are only 3 skin tones in this overlay I use, as you can see in the link. There is some kind of genetics used to determine which of the 3 skin tones it will use, so it's not totally random. Most of my sims babies seem to get that middle skin tone I guess, looking at these pictures haha. Hope this helps!

@mcrudd I would love some of your baby onesies. Do you have a website I can get them from?

Yay I am so glad you came right @jms62511 :) I have a dedicated thread here on our sims forums where I showcase my little clothes and link to downloads for them. They start from page 2 https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/960146/baby-outfits/p2

If you want to go to them directly I have a page on TSR here https://www.thesimsresource.com/members/mcrudd

I found that simmers that don't have VIP membership at TSR finds it easier to use the forums links as it goes directly to the outfit they want ;) Then they can bypass all the advertisements while searching through outfits.

Enjoy your little custom skintone babies and new little outfits :) Happy simming <3

Most default skins are outdated since the Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack. Are you sure the one you wanted to use is up to date?

@83bienchen It has to be updated because I had downloaded it before I tested it.

@83bienchen Is that the reason why the CC skin tones I put in don't work on the babies?

Wow wish I could help BookBear, but I only do the little clothes part. Nifty knitting has split the actual skintones from clothes now. That is why a lot of unupdated skintone replaces don't work for babies anymore. I do however know its possible. A friend @permanentrose has a beautiful little default skin that she uses and it works with all my little outfits as well, so they are seperate from each other. Perhaps she could share her link with you @jms62511.

If not then I could make you an old fashioned before niftyknitting outfit where the baby wears their skintone as clothes. BUT that would mean it would be one skintone colour per package. So for eg you would have light skintone and all the babies ingame will have light skintone no matter what skintone parents are, then I could make dark skintone and so on and on. Then you must just put the correct package in the game depending on which skintone baby should be. Its a lot of hassle for you, but I don't mind doing it for you. This is a bit silly but could work.

OR

Sent me the package and I will l play around with it and see if I can fix it. I am not a very good cc maker (just make baby outfits) but I can always give it a go and google for tutorials and things ;)

Here is a beautiful photo @permanentrose sent me of her little one and its little default skin wearing one of my little pj onesies. So it is possible, we just need to find a way for you. Happy simming :)
