what this is

This is a tutorial that will tell you how I go about making Custom Textures. I will go step by step from the concept of the idea, to the research I do to make it accurate looking, the tools I use and to the actual making of the custom texture.

what this isn't

This isn't going to tell you how to make wings or horns or braids and put them on your Sims. This just tells you how to make the bmp that covers your Sim's head and body, kind of like skin. Like clothes and faces and hair color.

tools you need

You will need 2 basic tools. You will need Simshow which is availible at the official Maxis site in "Cool Downloads" and a good graphics program, like Adobe PhotoShop, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, or Corel Photo-Paint (which is what I have). The "Whereto's" for these are down in the Links and Stuff on the Web section.

You can use Microsoft Paint if you want, but unless you are very skilled at it, you probably won't get the professional results you want.

*note* There is aslo a tutorial that comes with Simshow and covers this subject. I am just offering my perspective and extra information.
