One thing to note is that when we say you can only have one set of default skins, we mean just that… one full set.īasically this means you can download various default skin packages from various creators as long as none of them overlap or conflict with one another. Which one takes precedence? The game doesn’t know so it has a sad. Basically you’ll have multiple files wanting to overwrite the same files in the game.

If you install more than one your game won’t like it because you will have conflicting files. This is because there is only one set of EA skin files in the game.

Now you’ve probably heard me, and others, say a million times “You can only have one set of default skins”. It’s like you just removed the EA skins from the game and replaced them with fancy ones.

Once you overwrite your ea skin files the ea skin disappears and is replaced by your new custom ones – the custom ones become your new ‘Default’ Skin.Īny sim that was made using your old default – in this case the EA skins – will automatically be using the new custom Defaults you installed. These are referred to as “Default Skins” but what we really mean is “Default REPLACEMENT Skins”. Now, thanks to the brilliant minds out there, we are able to create custom skins that will overwrite those EA skins. Any sim you create will automatically have that skin applied to their body. So, when you open up your brand-spanking new sims game your sims start out with the boring, ugly EA skins. Okay, so when we are using the term ‘Default Skin’ in regards to the sims, what we mean is it’s the skin that your game will apply to all sims – unless told to apply another (by “another” I mean a non-default skin but we will cover those later). When the user specifies no overriding value or action. This is the definition of the word default:Ĭomputers – A value that a program or operating system assumes, or a course of action that a program or operating system will take,

Ok so in order to understand default custom skins I need to explain why they are called ‘defaults’ in the first place. Most of the people who enquire about my skins want to know the difference between Default and Non-default so I shall attempt to answer below. I figured it would be best to address them in a post, rather than answer the same questions every week Ok so I get quite a lot of questions regarding Default and Non-Default skins.
