Sims 2 Witches vs. Genies
Aug. 14th, 2020 06:20 pmWitch and Genie Defaults
Here's some more modding shenanigans from me: defaults for good, evil, and neutral witches and also genies, based on textures from Lilith's HoneyHoney skintones and Remi's eyes!
From left: good witch overlay, Genie default, bad witch overlay, and neutral witch overlay
The evil witch skins were simple to make; I just replaced the TXTRs in the default file as usual. I did go ahead and include a few Property Sets from Pescado's creaturefixes (to fix the scalp issues), but I didn't change anything. Don't worry if you already have creaturefixes, nothing conflicts. This is an overlay, recolored in Iakoa's Witch Potion, so some of the sim's original skintone will show through. One version uses my blank edit of Remi's eyes in Garnet, the other does not have an eye overlay.
Bad witch default overlay
For the good witches, I once again went digging in creaturefixes for a fix for the scalp. These files are changed from creaturefixes, but theoretically if this file loads after it, you should be fine. If not, you may have to go into SimPE and delete the good witch scalp Property Sets from creaturefixes. Like the bad witch, this is an overlay, in Trapping's Tetryl, and you have a choice of no eye overlay or my glass recolor of Remi's eyes in Green 1.
Good witch default overlay
Third, the neutral witches. I found some TMXTs for them while spelunking in Res/3D again, but no 3IDRs, Property Sets, or anything to make the overlays work. Fortunately, the wonderful Midgethetree was there to provide some excellent advice on how to use the protocol for tattoo overlay boxes to make this file. I'm very proud I was able to make everything work, but I definitely couldn't have done it without Midge.
This overlay is also transparent and in Trapping's Napalm, and has a pupil-less version of Remi's eyes in Topaz if you choose the eye version. Shouldn't conflict with anything as far as I'm aware!
Feel free to use this file as a base for other neutral witch overlays if blue doesn't suit you.
Some issues with this mod:
Update 11/26/2021: No more issues with the overlay, thanks to a kind anon! The issue was the incorrect collection instance number in the 3IDRs.
Neutral witch default overlay
The Genie default is a recolor in Trapping's Blasting Agent. You have a choice of an eye color in Remi's Mine, in either the original style or in my glass retextures. Like all Genie defaults, there's a bit of weirdness at the scalp (it looks like a standard sim skin is under the turban).
Genie default skin with glass textures
Finally, I made a few witch title mods. There are three versions: One that removes all alignment text and names all your witches/warlocks "[Name] the witch" (the males are also called witches), one that removes "Witch" or "Warlock" from the title resulting in "[Name] the [Alignment]", and one that just renames all instances of "Warlock" to "Witch". Please note: like my townie naming mods, this default must not be renamed or things will break! If you do happen to have one of my previous name mods or another that is called "Live", you must use SimPE to combine the files, or one will overwrite the other.
