That'll be about enough everyone 'mkay? This went through the moderation process. If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say then move along without commenting. Anyone doing otherwise from here on out will receive a warning.

Thank you.

ETA Thank you blueizumi and chaavik for explaining so well.

This is because mannequin skintone is highly dominative. That means it dominates over every one of the four game's basic skintones. As well it's equally dominative as alien, so if you have an alien/mannequin baby it can have either mannequin or alien skin.

What is Mannequin?


Mannequin is a mannequinIt's used eg. in BodyShop to present pieces of clothing, makeup etc. and it has its own skintone (gray). Entering CAS in debug mode allows you to choose this skintone for your regular sim. Problem was they couldn't have babies, because it crashed the game due to missing files (you don't makeover babies and they don't appear in BSh so the baby age for mannequin wasn't needed; of course unless somebody decided to mess with debug mode).

just want to clear things up

@blueizumi : I do have pics

@chaavik : I also added the baby, toddler and kids version of the skins (teens version too in some cases, like plantsim skin), not only unlocking them

However, it's not exactly the same, my version doesn't override Maxis's skin, unlike this one anyway thanks TashaFaun for the recognition

Hope it'll be clear once and for all.

May I say that for a desaturated skin this looks quite good from what I can see so far? I haven't made an mannequin sims, but I might just have to now.

Yes! Thank you for this. I've always wanted my manni sims to have babes and now they can.

bloodredtoe, I really like this download! I really like the screenshots you used, because it looks like a) an old black and white movie or b) something like the Addams Family (I can't decide which, but I like it!). Good job!

Awesome.I heard about another sim player who tried to make a normal/mannequin couple have a baby and it crashed,so they killed the woman and made the guy marry her sister.They should have found this.
Anyways,I freaked out when I read about it and thought,'Man,I ain't using them again,EVER!'Now I can!

No idea. Do you have any other hacks/fixes that change something about mannequins? The only reason I can think of - something changes the hex skin id for mannequin. Did you extract it into downloads?

#38 Old 13th Aug 2008 at 11:42 PM
No, I don't have any hacks that would effect the mannequins... I think...
Well, that's okay. I can just create toddlers for my mannequin family. Babies are boring anyways [:
But thanks for this hack! I bet my game's just messed up because I fool around with it a lot. Its a good hack!

You for sure don't have the one that replaces default mannequin skin with one of the other defaults or something? When buying clothes - does the mannequin on the thumbnails appear gray?

Thank you!!!!! I had a mannequin family that I loved, and every time I tried to get the mother to give birth the game crashed. I though I was going to have to kill her off, or not use the family!!! Thanks for saving my mannequin mommy!! =)

Well, there really aren't a whole lot of maniquins in my game, one I think and she's a child, but I think it would be a good idea to have something like this in my game in case my sister ever ages her and wants her to have kids.
I read through the conversations in here about the other version, so I compared the two and looking at them, I decided this was the version I wanted, so thanks for making it.
Just to be sure, I wanted to know if this will allow my sister's already made sim girl to have a child without problem or if it will only work on new sims? See that's why I chose this version. From what I can tell of the other, my sister's sim would be uneffected by it. Thank you.

I tested twins and they're born just fine. Must be some other problem.

It worked on sims made before this hack for me. So I guess it should work

treeag referred me to your page because I had asked her for help. I had a mannequin mom ready to give birth but the app. kept crashing. My son suggested it might be the skin and we found the "fix" treeag made and contacted her. Thanks to both of you little Kyra Karloff is happy, bouncy and well. And so am I. This is both a thanks and a feedback, but I have already clicked then "thanks" button, so it's feedback linked. I'm too new to this site! :D

Treeag fixed her mistake right after she uploaded so it wasn't really "recently" that it was updated. The problem with crashing was noticed and she fixed it. I just don't see a problem with getting an "older" one as long as its been updated.

Actually,Treeag had added an extra mannequin skin that didn't replace the Maxis one.This hack is for those who don't use Treeag's skin,but use the Maxis mannequin instead.

I,personally,wish this had come out sooner,before I found out that mannequin sims can't have babies without crashing.Now if you excuse me,I'm going to make a gothic family with this skin,just because I can. :P

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I was beating my brains in trying to figure out why I kept crashing, until I realized there probably wasn't a skin for mannequin babies
