Anyway, In Sims 3 I refused to play without default replacement skins, but the Sims 3 Sims were just so ugly.! Edit: Looking at the Default skin mentioned above tho it does look good. But of course the download server is down the one day of the year I want to try it. I use fairly realistic default replacement skins in my game, like most of you guys do. However, I haven't been really interested in aliens / zombies / vampires / plantsims until now. Now that I have recently made a 'sci-fi' family, I want to know what you people use for default 'moster.

Sims 2 Default Replacement Skin Isnt Quite. It is a similar shade of green to Maxis alien, but I found it looked off on many of my sims. However, I havent been really interested in aliens zombies vampires plantsims until now.

1Geneticized Skintones

Geneticized Skintones

The term 'genetic skins' or 'geneticized skintones' is occasionally heard in reference to custom skins for Sims 2, but what the heck does it mean?

Skintone Genetics

The skintones in the game, S1 (light) through S4 (dark) have genetic values assigned to them. These values work on a 'blend' system, so that a sim that has S1 skin can breed with a sim with S4 skin and have a child that falls anywhere in the range (including tan or medium, as well as the extremes, light and dark). This same system works for default replacement skins, which just change the appearance of the skins but not the genetic data.

Custom skintones, by default, do not have the same range of genetic values. Instead, custom skin is dominant: if one sim has custom skin and the other has any shade of Maxis skin, the custom skin will always be dominant, and their children will always have the custom skintone. If two sims with custom skin breed, then there is a 50/50 chance of the child getting one or the other custom skin of the parent.

How Genetic Skintones Differ

Unlike normal custom skintones which do not have special genetic values, Geneticized Skintones have been modified to add values similar to how the default skintones work - using the 'blend' system. In this way, you can increase the range of skin values your sims can have - you can have extra-pale, extra-dark, and more intermediate shades as well, and all the genetics will work happily together. If you download a nice expanded set of Genetic Skins that are well thought out, you can increase the genetic diversity in your game.

Issues with Geneticized Skins

Geneticized Skins are considered part of the 'pool' of possible skins for babies. This means that you may have two sims with default skin and the baby will have a custom skin that neither parent had - because that custom skin had a genetic value between that of the parents. This is fine if you have no genetic skins besides those that match your default set, but it can be confusing or annoying if you don't realize a set is geneticized and a random skin pops up that you weren't expecting.

For this reason, it is recommended that you only download geneticized skintones if you use a matching default set, or if you don't mind this seemingly random aspect to breeding.

The modding community for The Sims franchise is one of the best. At present, it's mainly aimed at the audience of The Sims 4 but love for the previous editions hasn't been lost! The Sims 2 is an older game which can put people off, in terms of the graphics specifically.

Everything looks quite outdated. The eyes, hair and skin have a paper-ish and flat look to them. It does have an early 2000's charm, but in 2021 it can seem lacking. Now, its fun to see the next steps as some sim surgery!

First lets start with something simple. The eyebrows may not be what you first notice, but they have a chunky and thick looking texture. Once changed you will see how everything looks better.

Here's some custom content for improved eyebrows:

Now I decided to download the default eyebrows from Vimpse, which means they replace the in-game versions. All I had to do was put them in my downloads folder, load up the game and there they were!

Looking at this picture compared to the previous one, I feel the eyebrows are much improved! One thing I do notice, is how it doesn't match the original hair textures.

If you decide to keep the original hair texture you might want to keep the eyebrows how they are, or download some custom maxis-match eyebrows. This won't replace any of them but will give you some extra options.

For a lot of people though, the next step is change the hair! Now, it's tricky when default replacing the in-game hairs, as you want to find a texture that has been reproduced many times.

When I first started out hair replacement, I wanted the original maxis style hairs modded to smoother graphic quality. To my dismay I found this wasn't possible as I couldn't find it on the internet!

So I gave in to the more popular hair textures that at first I wasn't keen on, but now I've gotten used to them. I think they look great if in the right style.

At this point, you're probably wondering where you can find such downloads?

Sites for replacing The Sims 2 maxis-match hair:

This site gives you many options and I'd suggest deciding on a particular texture first, so that everything will match and look good. It will be less overwhelming. I can't lie, this is going to take a long time if you choose to download each hair individually, so get comfy.

I personally like what is usually referred to as 'Mike's New Hair System', in which the hair's are Remi textures but Pooklet colours.

Here's some extra links for default replacements in this style:

Now, skin.

You can either get custom versions of these or default and I suggest the latter.

I chose the skin default Honey Honey skin blend by Lilith:

This is the result with the hair and skin modded. So much has improved now, my sim looks pretty and pleasing to the eye. Also, more contemporary.

Finally the last step! Eyes.

Its pretty self explanatory at this point, there's a vast array of default eyes and custom eyes for you to choose from. Google image search is your friend. The original eyes have their own magic and nostalgia for many but they're very old, its the change that overall can have the biggest impact.
