Magpie's Stash

aeliaa was my SS giftee this year, and since she opted to share and it's past the holidays, it's time to put an easier-to-find link out. :)

I made a few sets:



'Deco', various prints by Erté (3 suites -- Princesses, Precious Stones, and 20s Revisited) and George Barbier on Civil Idol, Lady on Red, Grilled Cheese, and Surfing the Universe. Goes great with Graverobber's add-ons!



'Endless Dream' eyeshadows -- these won't obscure the shape of your sims' eyelids, so no sudden double eyelid on monolidded sims, or narrow eyelids on heavylidded sims. Textures are a blend of Enayla's Warmth skin, SimpleLife's monolid eyemask, and a touch of RenSim's Zine shadow. Alpha is a blend of SimpleLife's eyeshadow alpha and RenSim's Zine, with additional editing by me.

'Flower Faery', two floral-themed skintones on the Pennies base.



'Mauritania', retextured and Pooklet'd Mauritania doors + stained glass textures for the glass panel. The stained glass IS transparent, minus the leading which I made sure is not; transparencies vary depending on the type of glass in the designs, like real stained glass. Goes great with Leesester's Mauritania add-ons.

There are plenty more swatches in the zip. Download at Box.net.

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...)

The Penny Wise set of the In for a Penny series is a very warm set of skins, ranging from pink to copper-red undertones. As the Penny Wise set uses the same bases as the Food of the Gods set, the bodies are the same (which means non-barbie). All Penny Wise skins sport the same nose, lips, and brow line.

An alien skintone inspired by one of my favourite weird fruits. This one took a while due to noticing yet another glaring flaw every time I thought I was done. :D

Not content to have aliens that were sims with green bodypaint on, I set out on a quest to make a blend that was more truly alien--dragonish with bony and weird parts and unusually coloured.

Both genders Teen through Elder use the same face. TF-AF share the same textures, as do TM-EM. Default Replacement zip includes two handy additional files: Argon's Fit Fixes, so that aliens will change fitness states, and BastDawn's TF alien eye fix. Alien eyes not included.

I may make some oddly-coloured-human alien skins later. I kinda want a pale strawberry candy coloured one...

(Also known as 'omg not more previews to make please shoot me')

Behold, the skintone of much work and a silly name! This was a result of me getting really fussy and annoyed I couldn't find a skintone without at least one thing that annoyed me to distraction. When I made it, I first thought I'd release it... somewhere... but speshul snoflake ToSes kinda quashed that until now.

Policy: the usual--credit, no paysites, futz with it as you like.
