General ------- For the latest up to date information on The Sims™ and The Sims™ Creator visit: http://www.thesims.com. You can visit fan sites and find message boards, FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions), walk-throughs and hints on the site. Visit the chat area of our site to chat with other players. Overview -------- The Sims™ Creator allows you to paint your Sim, add a new face to the head of your Sim, add a logo to your Sim and change your Sim's clothing. The Sims™ Creator reads the data from your Skins folder in The Sims™ and all expansion packs (Default Folder: Program FilesMaxisThe SimsGameDataSkins and Program FilesMaxisThe SimsExpansionPack...). The Sims™ Creator tool will allow you to modify skins from The Sims™ 1.0, installed Sims expansion packs and any other Sims skins you may have downloaded. Main/Start screen ----------------- This is where you can select the major physical attributes of your Sims such as head and body. You can also change the age, gender, and skin tone of the Sim you wish to modify on this screen. In the 3D Preview window, you can view your Sim from many different angles. Face Photo Wizard ----------------- The Face Photo Wizard is an import tool for photographs so that they can be used for Sims heads. Acceptable photo file types that are compatible with The Sims™ Creator are: .png, .jpg, .tga, .bmp and .tif. Step One: “Load an image” - Click “Face Photo Wizard” from the Main Menu - Click “Load Face,” and browse to the photo you wish to import - Use the “Rotation” and “Size” sliders to position the face so that it fits within the box boundaries. - Click “Next>” when done. Step Two: “Editing” Once imported, the next menu screen details the editing options available to edit your Sim Face. Tip: Use the wire frame and the mask sliders to help position the image on the head, this helps to align the eyes and the nose Sim Wardrobe ------------ The Sim Wardrobe section contains the tools to dress your Sim. You have the option to add accessories to the Sim's original clothing or click “Undress” to start from scratch. You can layer clothes here also by just selecting more garments. A feature within this tool is the ability to select and import new clothing material skins for Sim Clothing. To import new materials, click “Load Texture” and browse to the photo file you wish to import. Similarly to the Face Photo Wizard the only photo file formats accepted by Sim Creator are: .png, .jpg, .tga, .bmp, and tif. For best results the materials photos should be of 8bit or 256 color. When you click on the Add Logo button you will be brought to the Logo Selector screen. Here you can add logos/images to your Sim in the 2D view, and see how it will look in The Sims™ in the 3D view.
