Since Hot Date, some skins can
be bought in Downtown or on Vacations island, as formal wear,
winter, swimming-suit, lingerie... To make your old skins available
for Hot Date (or new ones that aren't converted, or... whatever
you want! ;)), you need two things:
1- renaming
the .BMP files to change the first letter of the name; it's
pretty easy to do manually, but when you have hundreds of skins,
it's nice to have a tool to automatize the task; it's SkinRenamer's
job.
2- renamig
the matching meshes (.CMX), as skins need both .BMP (the texture)
and .CMX (the mesh, ie the shape of the body and the clothing).
It's MeshRenamer's job.

Renamer |
| What
does it do? |
It converts your skins files (BMP)
as buyable items for expansions packs (Hot Date, Vacation, SuperStars),
by changing the first letter of the file name.
*** Note *** :It doesn't convert your skins for Mac, for
this, you still need Skin
Shrinker, made by Cherie Benoit. SkinRenamer only works with
files that have been already converted for Mac. |
| |
| How
does it work? |
-1-
Choose the type you want. In this example, we will convert
normal skins to formal skins, buyable in Hot Date, so we select
the F (Formal).
- 2 -
Prepare a folder where you put all the .BMP
files you want to make available as formal wear for Hot Date.
You can work on copies of your skins, if you still
want to have these skins available for the Sims, without any
expansion pack.
- 3 -
Drag your folder on the window of the application.
- 4 -
Et voilà! It's done. You have now to
rename the meshes with MeshRenamer,
and you'll be able to shop for your new skins in Downtown!
:)
In this example, we'll need to rename the following CMX: B001fafat,
B249fafat, B341fafit. The skins (BMP) always need to be associated
with a mesh (CMX) that has the same number and letters.
Don't forget to install these skins into your
Skins folder! ;)

| Sims-MeshRenamer |
| What
does it do? |
It converts your mesh files (CMX)
as buyable items for expansions packs (Hot Date, Vacation, SuperStars).
It changes the first letter of the .CMX file, and edits its content
to match with its new name. When you want to distribute a mesh,
don't forget to join both .CMX and .SKN (the .SKN file doesn't
need to be modified to work with expansions packs. A same SKN
can be used by different CMX).
*** Note *** :It doesn't convert your skins for Mac, for
this, you still need Skin
Shrinker, made by Cherie Benoit. MeshRenamer only works with
files that have been already converted for Mac. |

- 1
-
Choose the type you want. In
this example, we will convert a normal mesh to formal mesh,
buyable in Hot Date, so we select the F (Formal).
- 2
-
In a folder where you store meshes
(it could be in the Sims/GameData/Skins folder or another one),
select the mesh you want to convert, and duplicate it (Command-D).
- 3
-
Then, back to MeshRenamer, click
on the button "Select a .cmx file"
- 4 -
Select the .cmx you have duplicated
(with its "copy" suffix)
- 5 -
It's done. The application explains
you what it did.
- 6 -
You need now to delete the "copy"
suffix of your edited .CMX. When you want to install it to the
game or to redistribute it, don't forget to join the matching
.SKN.
Matching SKN have the same number and the same first characters
as the CMX's name, but its name begins by "x-skin".
Note that a same .SKN can be used by different .CMX, so if you
move the .SKN, make a copy.
Don't forget to install these
meshes into your Skins folder! ;)
