Bodyshop issue
nectere:
I tried deleting those two textures in the package, but for some reason Bodyshop thinks it needs them. The hair texture seems fairly random, for me its the same custom texture each time, but for genetics others have made its more random. I tested it 4 different times making new projects. One package I peered into had two different alpha hair textures, it was a heleane skin, but they werent hair textures I had for any of my custom hairs, so I assume they came from her computer.
I can't figure out why it would need two alpha hair textures for a genetic skin. And they aren't really alphas either. Tonight I will remove all downloads and run bodyshop again to see what it uses instead.

The regular game's bodyshop exe and the university one's still exist. I wonder if we can just use those. NL's doesn't seem to add anything except access to the new NL clothes.

Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with creating gentic skins and bodyshop including some random custom hair files?
The files names are
afhair~hairalpha5~stdMatBaseTextureName.bmp
afhair~hairalpha7~stdMatBaseTextureName.bmp
Anyone else?
I posted this exact same question/issue on TSR. The problem, it turns out, is that if you have some of Janna's hair colors/styles in your Downloads folder she did something special with them that caused this unforseen side effect. I'm not sure it was ever worked out. And I'm not sure if other creators have done anything similar. All I know is that when I removed Janna's stuff, the problem went away.
Generally, your best bet to avoid issues like this is the same as making clean, hack-free residential/commerical lots. Set up a separate account on your computer and run the Sims 2 / BodyShop for all your custom content creation there. The bonus is because that account will start with an empty Downloads folder, load time should be really fast.
Your other option is to temporarily move your downloaded hair files to a folder on the desktop or something while you are using BodyShop.

Hmm, I remember her saying she made some of her hairs like the Maxis 'custom' ones in that they supposedly won't show up the bodyshop or CAS but will in the mirror when you change appearance. Is that what you're referring to Allen?

Yeah, it was something like that. It set her hair files apart from most others.
Now I love Janna's stuff and didn't want to permanently remove them so that's why I started doing the separate account thing.
