It is a nice skin, I have several pale skins I have been saving for vampires. Vampires should be pale. (So are my Geek family  ). What I would like to know is how to make the pale ones default in the game instead of the blue ones.  I'll try to get an answer later today when Dylan wakes up. I have no idea. He makes the stuff and then transfers it to my computer on our network.  |

Dylan here... to answer some questions. How do I do it?: Pretty simple. I find the default game files using SimPE, extract them, create a brand new package file to throw the extracted stuff into, extract the images, edit them, import them, save.. It's pretty easy. If you don't change the filenames of the extracted files, it'll just effectively write over the defaults, while still being easy to get rid of. Sharing: I've been going back and forth with this idea for a while, and finally decided that I would like to put my creations on the web. Kind of a scary notion if you're on the shy side like I am. I just don't know where I'll be putting them yet. I connect to the internet through my mom's computer, and the sucky firewall my Dad insists on (I use something else for my computer) won't allow me to publish a website from this computer. It's a no-prompt kind of firewall, taking matters into it's own hands without asking you what you want.  My firewall asks me what I want. Enough griping though.. I'll try to figure something out soon. I'm sure you'll hear my mom bursting with pride when I do. Notes: My replacement allows them to keep their original eyecolor, or use contacts (apparently) if you so please. I also fixed the alpha channel issue with teen female vamps. |

Well there's always the Exchange. *shudder*
If you package up a sim with a custom skintone in the bodyshop the skintone should be included in the sims2pack file. Not sure about the vamps though since you normally can't create them in the bodyshop. I haven't tried extracting an in-game vamp sim via sim surgery yet and seeing how they would show up in the bodyshop.
I suppose you could also just upload it as an attachment here, but I'm sure since it's a skintone the file is rather large.

No no no no! No exchange! You can't make me do it!... *composes self* ahem... It's about 11,200 KB... It's not actually a skintone, it's a full body tattoo. Compare this to my alien default skintone replacement, which is about 90,800 KB. I didn't think we were allowed to upload that kind of thing here? I mean... There are no specific rules against it, but it seems a little... presumptuous. |

The worst that could happen is you get your lips ripped off and maybe get tossed over into Retardo-land. |

Ha. I just looked.. there's a 128KB cut-off point in the file attachment option.. Sorry guys.. I would have went for it too.. If I had gotten my lips ripped for it, at least it would have been for the greater good. My parents are leaving in a while, so I'll try to see if I can (use my mom's computer to) get a website started and upload my default replacements. |

Random suggestion for the eyes: if it's possible, perhaps make it a transparent red overlay? So you get a bit of a bloodshot look to the eyes, but doesn't replace any nice custom eyes we may have (I have all the maxis defaults replaced, for example) but does make them slightly vampiric. Give the alien eyes a red twinge, too, but they're still obviously aliens.

Beauuutiful!!! This is the first time I see the stages of the abduction in the game... . My sims have never been abducted. ...And why Mom didn't turn her kids/teens to vampires? Has it to be their own decision? I have a question: if my sims' turn off is "vampirism", and they go to downtown and meet a vampire - can they be bited by him? Because each time I spot a vampire in the lot - I order them all immediately to drive home... . I am scared to death that someone will be bitten... . So far all went well and they are not bitten - I don't permit them to interact with the vamp... . |

Beauuutiful!!! This is the first time I see the stages of the abduction in the game... . My sims have never been abducted. Thanks, Gali. ...And why Mom didn't turn her kids/teens to vampires? Has it to be their own decision? Kids can't be turned into vampires. The teen girl is a Popularity Sim, so I don't think she would want to be a vampire. I have a question: if my sims' turn off is "vampirism", and they go to downtown and meet a vampire - can they be bited by him? Because each time I spot a vampire in the lot - I order them all immediately to drive home... . I am scared to death that someone will be bitten... . So far all went well and they are not bitten - I don't permit them to interact with the vamp... . The vampire will only bite controllable Sims who become friends/best friends. If your Sims don't interact with him/her, I don't think they would be bitten, but I suppose there is a slight chance. It's easily fixable, though. You just buy the cure from the gypsy and your Sim instanly returns to normal. Actually, you can buy the cure ahead of time and keep it inthe Sims' inventory, just in case. |

My sims don't live in fun land, lol - they live in Dream Land, a place that all your dreams come true... . Sometimes I show my maid the houses, the decor and the car - we wish to have the half I give them... . My maid is contented to have the half car (they have 2 the most expensive)... . |

Gosh, you actually paused to weigh up the options? Still, I paused long enough to write this. *clicks on Firefly link* |

I love your Sim Stories, Reggikko. They're always good for a laugh. I really like your son's vampire skin too. |

reggikko, where did the hair for the teen girl come from? It looks like the vamp hair revised.
