Altering DNA: Skintone Range
ElfPuddle:
So we're back to the question: why does that work differently with eyes?
The eyes whose creator line I've changed do show up as a choice in CAS.
Why do skins and eyes work differently with the same line?
pioupiou:
I think it has something to do with the user interface in CAS. Custom or not, the eyes show up side by side. The normal maxis skintones (S1, S2, S3, S4) don't really show up in CAS but have "buttons" specially for them (you know the silhouette, more or less dark depending of the skintone), the custom ones show up under the asterisk. When the creator line is set to zero, the skin is not seen as custom anymore by the game, and does not show under the asterisk anymore. It can not show up with the maxis skintone, as they are a pre set number of silhouettes, only for the 4 maxis skintone.
They show up just fine in bodyshop because they user interface doesnot work like that in bodyshop.
Do I make sense even with english not cooperating ?

*slaps forehead*
Of course! The placement of the choices didn't even occur to me!
You're awesome, pioupiou!

Here's how I tested this: I created a new test neighborhood, generated new townies, and summoned all of them (about 30) to a lot. Changing only the flags and not the creator line did not make them use the skins with only the flags changed. NPCs used those skins; the cab lady, paperboy and cook did, at least. But not one townie showed up using one of the skins with only the flags changed. Townies did use skins that had both the flags changed and the creator set to zeros.
Sadorandom. I have townies with custom skins using this method. Make more new townies.

That's one hell of a lot of sadorandomness, considering that I had more custom than default skins.
Question: did you let your townies generate naturally, or spawn them with the mailbox?
