Eh, HTML failure can happen to anyone. I keep trying to use HTML instead of BBS code on GoS. (Mmm acronym stew.)
I think part of it is that people don't tend to want to see their elders naked, so they just skip it to save space. (I skipped it to save space on the Stolen by Fairies skins because... well, there were six of them.) Me, on the other hand, I've got townified naked underwear for all ages and both genders, so when I found out a whole bunch of my skins skipped any differences for elders, I said "Well, screw it," and got this default although I kind of wish these were a default instead. (Or that I knew wtf I was doing in order to make them a default). There isn't, unfairly, any EF default nude that lets the old ladies have any bits.
Yeah, I started off with just my defaults and Pooklet's Less Pop Concert, More Butchery set, cos they were already genetic. Then I discovered how easy it is to geneticize, and an addiction was born. It's not too bad, really, if you geneticize each set of skintones as you install them (and since I've already got to play Swap the Boob Textures before I compressorize, SimPE's already open). I got (sort of) lucky, and the default set I started off with also came with two extra custom skintones that fell in between S1 and S2, and S3 and S4. It gave me a nice framework-- "Okay, this is lighter than that but darker than this, so we'll call it *number for now..."
I've put off paying for Photobucket long enough that I'm three days away from refreshed bandwidth. I might actually pay when it restarts, just so it's easier to keep track of the date. I, um, sort of planned to get a bunch of Plus LJ accounts for free photohosting whenever I started a legacy... Cos I'm that cheap. Legacy would be posted here, just hosted there.
Repo man never came-- I had Boolprop on, and hit reset whenever the error came up, so it was like the mailman just forgot the lot. And yeah, I've been saving my PSDs separately, too-- I need to put all my body shop ones somewhere besides rattling around loose in the Projects folder. (Like, say, in the My Projects folder on my desktop that has a ton of shit in it.) When I first started making defaults, I totally sucked at saving layers of ANYTHING. I've learned my lesson.
Well, hey, a library is an awesome place, museum or not, and there are always inter-library loans, maybe. Don't know about your local library system, but the one where I live has a website where you can search for titles and find out if they're checked out or available and even put a hold on them, all from the comfort of your PJs. Totally well worth a look.
Also? Seriously, I understand. Egyptians were not big on perspective in flat art, so it's hard to tell how those things would have fallen... although on statues, they generally seem to lie flat. And I actually make historical doll clothes for money, so I know all about looking at period photos and artwork and going 'okay, this seam is here and that one's there and this should be spiral-laced and...'
