Hiya all. I'm new to the modding thing so bear with me. But I've used Skininator to make a skin for one of my characters. It looks great when viewed in Create A Sim, but the moment I go to save (the snapshot) or go into Live Mode, the skin turns pitch black. To say the least I'm bummed out about it.

For what it's worth, I cloned a basegame skintone, gave it a savename, imported my texture in place of the original, gave it a new swatch, and saved.

How it looks in CAS (the 'yellow' should actually be more orange and I'm not sure what's changing that, either--lighting?)


How it looks in Live Mode:


I attached the package file to the post in case there's an answer there.

Any help is appreciated!

Your texture has no mipmaps. You can either save as DDS making sure to check the option to generate mipmaps, or save as PNG and Skininator will convert it and make the mipmaps for you.

BTW, the color in-game will be a little different from your texture and the Skininator preview because the game blends it with the body details textures using methods I don't know the details of.

That did the trick! I guess I missed the memo somewhere about mipmaps, lol. Thank you so much for helping this dumb newbie out. :D
