In some instaces, The Sims 2 may not support a custom mesh assignment with a skin tone for reasons which no one explain usually this is due to a bug resulting from installing a Stuff Pack. You have a problem with the game recognising the meshes used by the "shower-proof" skin tone, usually this can be corrected by placing the nude state meshes in SavedSims. Check the file with SimPE and check for duplicates or missing data in the 3D ID data. You have installed a faulty "shower-proof" skin tone, usually this happens when you have made your own new "shower-proof" skin tone and have altered the 3D ID data. This is a common occurance, return to the location your found the Sim and check for a link in the credits. You installed a sim from a web location that uses a "shower-proof" skin tone that has mesh requirements that were not included in the ZIP, RAR, or Sims2Pack archive.

You have failed to download and install all of the meshes required by the "shower-proof" skin tone, usually this is easily corrected by installing the meses. If you fail to install the required meshes it will result in the "floating head syndrome" when the Sim using the "shower-proof" skin tone is in a true nude state, see the last FAQ in this thread for a solution.įAQ: Why does the body (or part of the body) disappear when my sim takes a shower? Since only one mesh may be specified for the top or bottom of most age states, each skin tone will have limited range of shape possibilities so if you want two sims to look differently when naked it may require you use two "shower-proof" versions of the same skin tone. Some creators include a "read me" or "rtfm" file in the ZIP or RAR, you would be wise to read these and retain these until after you are certain all is working as expected. The meshes made by Warlokk and by Marvine & Beosboxboy are the most widely used meshes for "shower-proof" skin tones, however these are not the only meshes being used by custom content creators. For additional information of installing files for use by The Sims 2, see this explanation of how to install custom content. Downloaded files are usually in ZIP-, RAR-, or other compressed archive format so you may need additional software to extract the files for use. Install the genetic skin tone and the required meshes to your Downloads folder. FAQ: How do I use a "shower-proof" skin tone?
