Sims 1 Skins

After many, many years of making Sims 1 objects, I finally made some skins!! What a touching moment! Words cannot describe my sentiment!
Key Info on Sims 1 skins:
For a typical skin to function normally, you need 3 files:
  • .bmp file - colored texture of the flesh and clothing
  • .skn file - skeleton file
  • .cmx file - tells how the .bmp and .skn should combine
The .skn and .cmx files together are called the mesh of a given skin. Many skin creators just existing meshes for their skin, meaning there can be many different bmp files for a given set of mesh (matching skn and cmx set).

Troubleshoot:
  • If you have a .bmp file in your game with no corresponding mesh (.skn and .cmx), the skin will probably just not show up. Not much harm.
  • If you have .skn and/or .cmx with no matching .bmp, it can cause the game to crash.

To add skins to your game:
  • Place skin files in the GameData > Skins folder (no subfolder)
Since you cannot make subfolders for skins, it is much harder to track a problematic skin file than an object file. Hence it is best to add skins in small batches so that you can track and delete bad files more easily.
