Help with default baby skin

Every time I put a new custom skin for babies in my game (I've only tested one save file for now), the default skin still shows. I've looked through my entire mods folder and it shows no other skins besides the ones I put in. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

  • @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

    Thank you so much! I shall enjoy them very much :)
  • @mcrudd Something I want to ask: do you require having one outfit in the mods folder only?

    Yes. You can only have one outfit package at a time. Each package has 3 outfits. Boy, girl and alien. I name them so they are easy identifyable if you want to have a few and change between game loads.

    Okay got it! I love all of them! I’ve downloaded some from the link @permanentrose has mentioned. If I put yours in the game, will it mess things up?
  • @jms62511 You can only have one outfit package at a time in like @mcrudd said. Kind of a bummer that ALL boy babies have to wear the same clothes (same with all aliens and all girls, just the nature of the game). So you would have to take out each outfit package each time you want to try a new one, since only one can work in the game at a time. You can, however, edit the packages on S4S to have just one outfit from that package be in your game. I'm find it hard to explain this well, but basically with editing the package, you can just choose to have the male outfit from one package and delete the alien and girl outfit. Then you can add a different package with just a girl outfit and a third package with just an alien outfit. Am I making any sense haha?

    If you use the default skintone with my outfits all will be good, but you can't use outfits from there with my outfits, they will conflict.
    You can if you are known with sims4studio edit my packages as @permanentrose mentioned above. I actually did a little tutorial on how to do it on my baby outfits thread. I will put it for you below in a quote so you don't have to search for it. This way you could edit the outfits as you would like them, for eg you could delete alien and girl from one package and then only have boy outfits in that package, which would allow you to have another package that has the deleted boy outfit in your game. So if you really want too you can have three packages, but they must each only have one clothing option, boy, girl or alien. If its too confusing for you, just let me know what combo you would like and I can make one up for you as a request, no problem, since I have all my outfits saved on my computer :)

    Hi there Simmers. I have been contacted by a fellow simmer asking if its possible to remove the alien outfits from my packages because they prefer to have the default alien outfit. So I made a quick small little tutorial to show you guys how to do it. Just incase some other simmers out there would prefer it too <3

    Here you go. I found it easiest to paste the package on my desktop.
    Open Sims 4 Studio
    Click on My projects
    A pop up will come up, select the outfit by double clicking on it.

    The package will then open on S4S
    Select the middle one, the one that starts with 46A2... That is the alien outfit
    click on delete

    a pop up will come up, click on ok
    It will then delete
    click on save

    a pop up will come up to say its saved. Click on ok and exit S4S
    Your package will now only have the outfit for the boy and girl babies. The alien babies will be maxis default in every way ;)

    I hope that helps you guys out, happy simming <3
