It is the same problem in my game. But it is only this box. The other one works fine.
Ah, and when both boxes are ingame none of the overlays do appear after the next restart.

But despite all of that: I love it, I was looking for something like that for a very looopng time. So thank you very much for creating this and share it with all of us. Thank you very much indeed.

I'm not sure what you mean by "this box" - are you referring to the crate? If so, it won't work with both the old object & the new object in the game because it's the same GUID. You have to delete the original one & replace it with the new one as I exlained above, in the directions.

This is really awesome, I wish I had season though, I don't think it'll work without it?

Thank you so much!

I just want to report to anyone who is wondering, this works just perfectly with Marvine/Beosboxboy's bodybuilder mesh

And thanks for the tutorial! For now I'm going to just change one of yours - that is about up to my skill level

but I *hope* to figure out how to add more. (It isn't a problem with your tutorial, I just suck.) If I do manage to get something that I'm not embarassed for others to see, I will upload them - surprised no one has done so already, actually

Anyway, thanks again for doing this!

I guess it will be hard for other simmers to upload their own additions of this, because the skinner has to modify the package with the name of the tattoo etc?

althought this is awesome... and wont stuff with my Sims genetics... and the pointless DNA that doesnt work when u have kids.

also, has anyone else played with this yet and created any tattoos?

something else i just thought of... if u export a sim... with the tattoos... im guessing it doesnt follow them... but if u add the 2 Overlay packages along with the sims... will it still pick them up apon install onto another game or hood etc?

hopefully Maxis will create a catalog like the piercings in the new EP. but for tattoos like this mod.

lovely mod!!

I've already started working to make my own tattoes but for some reason I can get them to work. I've already tried 5 times!

I'll try again and if it doesn't work I'll probably be begging for help on the tutorial post

I'm still working on it, but I've started. Keep in mind this is a work in progress, and I'm still playing with it, but I have done this - it's a circular Celtic knot on the small of the back and bands on the arms. Shown are Marvine/Beos Athlete mesh, BB mesh (ok, satyr mesh, but it's the same size as the BB) and regular maxis default size. It is distorting a bit on the BB mesh, but not too bad. I'm still working on it, but I'm pleased with how it is shaping up so far. Once I get it like I like it and finish working my way through the tutorial, we'll see about uploading it.

Hey there...
I installed your tattoos into my downloads folder, and yes I didn't read that I needed "Seasons"...The result? Now Bodyshop crashed everytime I try to launch it. I have deleted your files, but still Bodyshop registers a fatal exception. Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting bitchy (anyone that downloads for Sims runs a risk with their game) - just wanna know if you have any ideas for a solution.... Thanks.

This is great thanks so much but do you know of any versions of this either that you made or someone else did that doesn't require Seasons cause I don't have that expansion pack yet.

Ah, I've noticed that the tattoos will disappear when the game is restarted or when I left the lot. I know others have posted the same problem, but I was just letting you know that it was the same for me. Otherwise, everything looks excellent.

Thanks so much for this wonderful mod, Morague. I've finished my Maxis tattoos, finally. Thanks for all your help in my repair center thread!

i've massacred my manicure, (am i poisoned flesh?)
and made a mess, (a sweet caress)

I love this creation, you are a freakin genious!! I only have one problem, unfortunatley! Everytime I exit the game, the tattoos disappear! Is there any way to fix this? I think it might be because of Bon Voyage, this new expansion has caused a lot of problems with other mods that I had.

I haven't had any time at all for modding these past few months & likely won't for a few more. I am sorry there are issues with the tattoos disappearing. At this point I really have no idea. Once I get my life back this will be the first thing I look into, but it's going to be awhile yet.

FreeTime feedback:

The tattoo overlay is saved while the game is still running but when you exit the game and launch it again the tattoo overlay isn't loaded.
