I've been too chicken to mess with the alpha's when I re-color. Yeah, I admit I'm still a newbie about re-coloring after all these years. I usually do very very simple re-colors. I've done a few fiddly detailed ones and seriously thought I was going blind afterward. (Sadly, it was so long ago I don't remember now what it was because I've been spending so much time getting my new hood ready. You know, make a bunch of lots, make a bunch of sims but keep them mostly in maxis clothes until ready to put them in game because I keep adding and deleting clothes.) Probably would have been easier with Photoshop, but I've been using a very old version of PSE, believe it or not.

However, knowing I can change the length and the lining instantly gave me some ideas. And I need to learn how to re-texture, so this will be the mesh I think I'll do it with. Because, you know, the cloak isn't already so detailed to make me go blind while I'm practicing. Maybe then I'll finally be able to brave doing some hair re-textures as well.

Still need to find some defaulted alien eyes before the next time I launch the game to try these out. I want to get all my main characters into my new hood before I have surgery next week. So, if I make it out of the surgery without complications, I can play with my sims while recuperating. Only 6 days left to get my sims in order.

Thanks so much!
