The Face Mask section was not designed by Maxis to house such things, just face wrinkles, face freckles, facial moles and such the like, but as I say, clever CC creators use that section to put their complete body overlays. They override nothing and you have to put them on your sims yourself. Mask and overlays are commonly the most detailed types of skins, some with very realistic body features from head-to-toe. Found in the Face Mask area of Cas and not part of the general skin tone choices. Masks and overlays are clever ways of changing a sim's skin colour and body detail appearance. Default Replacement skins will override the Maxis skins and change all your pre-existing sims to the new skin colour tones. Giving more variety when choosing ethnicity tones. Non-Default Replacement are more colour skins that will not override the Maxis skin colour set. These skins are the colour (ethnicity) skins. and i'm still as confused as everĭefault skins, like base skins, are the Maxis skins all sims have. maybe not?)Īre all of those different things? Are any of them the same? What do they mean? How do they differ?
