Is there a way to change a Sim's displayed skintone without SimPE?
staroverthebay:
So I have this sim I've painstakingly crafted in CAS (STFU, it took me forever to build her because I'm so damned indecisive) and I think she's pretty cute, and she's rather fun for a knowledge sim.
But she's got this weird side effect whenever she gets naked to take a shower or a bath... That's right: floating head! No body at all, not even hands or feet, just a random floating head. It goes back to normal when she gets dressed.
I used a custom skintone with her, (and I don't remember who the creator is), so I assume it's a flaw in the skintone or an incompatibility with BV. I'm willing to deal with that... but this is really disconcerting to see, and I'd like to change her displayed skintone to a default one if I could. I can fix her genetic one later, once SimPE is out, but meanwhile, I don't want to use her because her bodilessness freaks me out whenever she showers or bathes.
Problem is, how do I change her displayed skintone? Since SimPE isn't working for BV yet, and you can't change skintones by going to the mirror and selecting "Change Appearance" I can't figure out what to do to put a temporary bandaid on this problem so I can continue playing this sim without cheating her hygiene at 100% all the time so I don't have to deal with her naked.

The only thing I know of are BobCatBen's skin changer vials http://www.genensims2.com/guest/bobcatben/index.htm (and I don't know if they are BV compatible because AFAIK he hasn't been around for a while). But if it works it should do exactly what you want - give her a non-genetic skintone overwrite.The only problem is that the only skins he has available are some of the Genensims animal skins.

Would Christianlov's Skintone Selector work? http://files.sims2graveyard.com/christianlov/

I was thinking the same thing.
Sounds like one of those skins linked to a mesh though, I've had one or two and unfortunately, though they'll go nude in the shower, accessories (rings, nailpolish and miscellaneous uhm, bits) will still show up.
You think a floating head is disturbing? Try the floating head over the Crammyboy... rings and necklaces don't make it any prettier.
jolrei:
What would happen if the custom skin was simply taken out of the game and the 'hood was loaded without it? Would the game simply choose a default EAxoid skintone randomly, or would something bad happen?
Naturally, any other sim with the same skintone would also be affected. Problem is that if you don't know which skintone is "offending" you end up having to take them all out, thus resetting all your sims that have CC skins. Better if you can just remove the offending one.
I personally would try it, being of an experimental temperament, but I would back-up before doing so.
