Sussi's Bodyshape Project: Bodyshape Linked Skintone

This creation is hosted here with permission from the amazing Sussi, who is moving on from simming to adopt a baby. All thanks and congratulations to Sussi!

Name: Bodyshape - Bodyshape Linked Skintone
Gender: Female
Ages: Adult/Young Adult
Poly Count: Top is 1202 polygons, 786 vertices (normal), bottom is 728 polygons, 498 vertices (normal)

This Barbie skintone is linked to Sussi's top & bottom body meshes, so that you can put a sim in this skintone, use her other Bodyshape clothings, and have your sim always look curvy, even when naked or showering.

The body mesh has bigger, 3D push up shaped breasts, narrower waist, wider hips and a lifted butt for an exagerrated feminine shape.

The bodyshape will only show when the Sim is naked in the game... You can't see it in CAS or in Bodyshop. It works with normal, fat, and pregnant state. To see this shape when the Sim has clothes on, you will need to download the other meshes and recolours in the Bodyshape Project.

These are barbie skintones, meaning there are no anatomical details like nipples or genitals on these skintones (or in the screenshots).

If you would like to create a skintone that is linked to Sussi's Bodyshape meshes, here are Sussi's original instructions on doing so:

You can recolor this skin tone all you like. It's based on Maxis Tan and I only painted a bit in the adult female chest area and added a small glow to the adult female face, otherwise nothing is changed from
Maxis original.

Export my skin with Bodyshop as you would any normal recoloring project and do your changes. You can easily recognize which skin tone it is by the thumbnail picture, that looks like this:



Your skin tone will now be linked to my bodyshape. If you already have a favourite skin tone and wish to apply it on this bodyshape you can by doing like this:

In Bodyshop, Create parts-Genetics. Export your favourite skin tone and give the project a new name for example "Old skin". Next, cancel the project ,the files will stay in the project folder where you exported them.

Start a new project-Create parts-Genetics. Now export the Sussis Bodyshape skintone and name the project something that You can remember for example "New skin"

Open your Projects folder, go to the folder where you put your favourite skintone "Old skin". In a new window, open the Projects folder again, this time go to the map where you put my skintone "New skin".

Go back to "Old skin" folder. Open the first bmp file (the picture) in your graphics program. Even Paint will do fine. Right-click & copy the picture. Close. Go to "New skin" folder. Open the first bmp file there in your graphics program. Choose paste. The picture you copied before will now show up. Save and close. Repeat with all the bmp files-the pictures.

Go back to Bodyshop-Create parts-Load saved projects, find "New skin" and import to the game.

This method works for me, but you can also try Warlokk's method. The tutorial is here.
