There are random clothes I want to default replace in my game, so I've been working on that off and on. Making the replacement packages is easy, but actually recoloring things I pretty much suck at. I don't so much mind because it's just random junk I've done for my game that I doubt anyone else would ever want anyway, but I always run into the same problem. Things never turn out how I expect they will. Sometimes I think things look better but other times I wish things were more like how I wanted them to be. Pretty much everything turns out lighter and not the same shade in-game. Is there some sort of tip or rule out there like make everything 5 percent darker and more green if you want it to look the same in-game or something? o.O I've just been recoloring Maxis stuff so I've been working from the lifo rather than doing the whole Bodyshop thing so I can't preview stuff while I'm working on it. By the time I've finished something and am previewing it in-game I don't feel like messing with it anymore so I just leave it as whatever I got. Otherwise I'd be messing with it all day and never actually play my game.
I'd like to be able to get everything right the first time if there's a way. xD
Just to illustrate what I'm talking about, here's the newspaper delivery outfit I was working on a little bit ago:
Compared to:
The CAS I made for myself looks cool but has sucky lighting, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it because I've seen some of my stuff in play and it was the same I think. And I don't have a real graphics card either if that would affect anything.
