I've been working on this project in several stages, and now I've finally got it working exactly the way I like.
This is a replacement, it affects all servos in your game.
This is what I've changed:
- The blue tint to the "skin"
Maxis is very fond of blue; the interface is blue, zombies are blue, vampires are blue, servos are blue, aliens even have blue gums. I've made the metal a pure greyscale. It looks a bit brownish when you see it next to the original, but it looks perfectly normal in game once you get used to it not being blue. - The Female formal mesh and texture
I didn't like the original dress. It covers her up like a tent and hides her natural servo "curves" and the pretty green glowing ball. It just looks too simple compared to the detailed work maxis did on the male tuxedo. So I've used the male mesh, and made a pink texture for it. - The eyes
I've made the eyes bigger, and a little less beady. - Crayon Lipstick!
This was the ultimate reason why I didn't want female servos before. I've removed the lipstick entirely. The eyelashes give enough of a female look in my opinion. - Some colour details
The pink bow on the antennae looked a bit out of place in everyday/nude/whatever, and since I replaced the formal dress it didn't even match up there, so I changed it to a more neutral black. It's also black for werewolf servos, but red for vampires.
I gave a slight red aura to the bat on the back of the vampires' heads, just because I wanted to.
And I added a little crescent moon to the back of the werewolf heads, because... I don't know. It seemed right at the time.
Zombie servos do not have special skins, so no change there.
OFB is of course required; since that's the EP servos came with. You need Pets as well to get werewolf servos, but the game will just ignore the Wolf textures if you don't have pet's installed, so it's not a requirement to use this mod.
I'm probably the only person who was annoyed by all this, but since I've spent so much time learning and modding this, I had to show it off.
Many thanks to wes_h, who guided me in the right directions.
Anyway, feel free to use this as a base for any modifications you want to make. It's all maxis textures, so I claim no rights to them. That means; fiddle, clone, modify, mangle, redistribute, copy and sell it all you want, in any form.
I've uploaded the original (maxis) textures if anyone wants to make their own versions.
