Upload: In for a Penny Skins: Penny Arcade

[aquilegia]

Policy.

The Penny Arcade set of the In for a Penny series is skinset with gold undertones, ranging from pale gold to caramel and olive tones. Three and Four are very similar in tone, but Four is a little darker and more caramel, whereas Three is a definite olive.

Again, these have a different nose--a more defined nose that tapers toward the bridge--and a different browline.

Special thanks to Pooklet for her colour actions

ETA: On Arcade Two, I accidentally switched the soft textures of EF and AF/TF! If you're downloading for the first time, you'll get the corrected skin in the archive. For those who have already downloaded--

Corrected CUSTOM Arcade Two
Corrected GENETICIZED + TOWNIFIED Arcade Two

Thank you to hat_plays_sims for letting me know.

What's next in the Pennies series? Could be lots more, as I keep stumbling across new penny idioms (argh), but since I'm up to 15 skins in this series alone, I'm going to take a bit of a break, make some defaults, and think of what gaps need to be filled and what I'd like the alien skins to look like. That one is going to be the tough part!

Also: I put these together while under the influence of an annoying headcold, so if I botched something up, please let me know. (I already know I forgot to include preview pics in the rar. AGAIN. Mea culpa...)

This is utterly gorgeous, I'm loving the variety of rich tones, the smoothness, and - which is important for someone with CC-related-OCD - consistency. Thank you very much for your hard work, it is much appreciated.

Oh, and I hope you recover from the headcold as soon as possible.

*downloads this one too* I am somewhere between 'oooooo yay!' and '... but I just finished getting the other two sets all meshed in with my system and swapping out the elder bodies...' (The joys of default meshes that I finally caved to because about 70% of my skins had TF, AF, and EF sharing the same textures anyway.)

Also? This series is AWESOME. It has caused my largest genetic gap to be my second largest genetic gap!

These look delicious enough to eat, seriously.

You must be hyper active or something xD
I really like them. Your medium tones always look like caramel, they look tasty and delicious :D
Thanks for these!

Thank you for these too! I've been very happy with the previous ones so I think these are going to make me even happier!

Hi Aquilegia, I'm the first person who commented, Sonne.

I hope I'm not being annoying, but I would like to know if you are okay with blending your skins. I really love them, and I'm already playing with them in my Medieval 'hood, which is more Maxis-match. They look even more delicious in-game, I'm really in love with them. Besides that, I'm in consistency heaven.

But I'm creating another neighborhood with different aesthetics, and for this I want glowier, shinier skins. So I'm working on skin blends with yours as a base, and I would like to know if you are okay with this. Right now the blend looks like this: http://i40.tinypic.com/29puikp.jpg . If you consider I'm making bad use of your work, I won't be offended, in any way - you can just tell me.

Again, thank you very much for your hard, brilliant and much appreciated work.

Thank you very much for permission.:] And glad you liked my blend - this coming from you means a lot to me. If you'd like, you can see the other shades I'm working on, and give me feedback as I will be posting my progress here: http://sonnesims.livejournal.com . I hope it is not rude to post my link here, if so you may delete this post - I won't feel offended in any way.

Cheers!

Thank you for adding me as a friend! And just to let you know, I've updated the first WIP post as I decided not to make only "ethereal" skins but natural ones too, and to add that I accept suggestions/requests/feedback. It's gonna be a huge project, but I'm loving to make skin blends. They're so much fun.

I love, love, love this series! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful recolors to go along with it! :)
