These are really cute. And I love the detail that they even have the mascot on their shoes!

These are so cute, now my football mad sims can dress their toddlers to match. Pretty realistic, the first outfit my uncle brought his baby daughter was a football outfit for when she was a toddler lol.

I wondered about that. I don't know how to fix it, though. It must be something to do with the contrast between red and green in the game. It looks fine in Photoshop.

Take your original photoshop file and edit the package file with SimPE, Build DXT. You are being screwed over by BodyShop compression.

Thanks. I'll try that and see if it works.

Edit:

It didn't work. The file looks sharp in Photoshop, but after importing with Build DXT in SimPE, it looks pixellated... same as before. Even with DXT5Format.

If you don't mind, I could take a stab at it if you send me the photoshop file. Maybe it would work on my comp.

Okay. Here's the texture and alpha. Let me know how it looks on your computer.

Well, I'm stumped too. The files you just provided look crisp and clear, but I can't get them into SimPE without it getting pixely. I tried everything I can think of. Maybe you should post in Bodyshop Recoloring about it. There are smarter people than me in there that might have seen this before.

Thanks for having a look. I posted in the Recolouring forum. Maybe someone has some ideas...

Damn, how do you always get such nice yellows?

*CatOfEvilGenius peers over fp7's shoulder to see how she does it...*

By the way, who's winning in the llama vs. plumbob tourney? I cheer for team llama.

Nice yellows are difficult. I think the trick is to make sure your bottom layer is light enough so that it doesn't muddy your colour... but not so light that you lose all the detail. It's a fine balance.

According to the number of downloads, Team Llama is winning.

Great outfits! Thank you!

I just noticed one little problem. As you can see by the attached pic, the sleeves don't match the mesh. I figured I missed downloading the mesh so I came here and found there isn't a mesh to download. I looked at your screenshots and they look great and I don't see the same problem there. I also noticed that on yours the collars are up and they are flat on mine... hhmm.. I don't know why there is a difference. I have bump mapping enabled, and I checked that it is indeed working, so I don't think that is the problem. Do you know why there could be such a difference?

Thank you

These outfits use a base game mesh. If the shape is showing up differently, then there's probably a mesh in your Downloads folder that's overwriting the original mesh (like a default).

hi fp7

I started looking through my toddler outfits to try to narrow down other cc that used that mesh.. and I noticed the outfit in the attached pic. I'm sure you recognize that it's from your Toddlers' Swimwear Collection. If you compare the 2 screenshots I've submitted they seem identical in shape. I hope I'm wrong, but is it possible that this mesh is somehow overwriting the default?

please let me know what you think.

Thank you

You're right. I forgot to "Fix Integrity" when I made that mesh, so it's overriding the default. D'oh!

I'm going to have to ask someone how to fix this.

Thanks for letting me know. It's amazing nobody's pointed this out until now...
