bodyShop (sims2) question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

I want round glasses with silver frames. I farted around with the Body
shop, and had no problem making silver frames. However, I can't figure
out how to change the shading on the lens themselves.

Any suggestions?

These are my favorite real-life glasses.

That's because the lenses are a separate - and as far as I can see -
un-gettable graphic in Bodyshop. I think you can access the graphic using
SimPE. I DL some glasses recently with reflective lenses:

I think they used SimPE to do it. You could always use these as a base to
make your own stuff or ask them how they did it.

Found the thread on modthesims2:

I will have to actually use SimPE, something I have been avoiding.

Ah - thanks for that. SimPE's ok to use, in small doses at least and that
doesn't look too complicated, except that you are altering numerical values
rather than dealing with a graphic - which means you can't see the changes
until you save and load them up again in Bodyshop.

I'll try to figure out how to put a pic in the binaries when I finish.
