Fellow Skinners...

      I believe in promoting not only the diversity of people (as Sims), but also the diversity of talents in the Sim-Community. Whenever I offer a Colorful Characters Sim whose skin-color is other than "light," "medium," or "dark" by game standards, I'll include matching Nude and Hand Skins. My fellow Skinners are encouraged to use those Skins to make additional outfits for distribution, as long as they're offered as FREE downloads.

      In fact, if you use Adobe Photoshop, or another program that can manipulate layered .PSD files, email me and I'll send you the Nude Skins as 200 ppi, RGB graphics (conversion to 72 ppi automatically makes them the proper size for use in the game).

      Be sure your downloads include sets of matching Hand Skins, re-named to match your Body Skins. Include HUAO*, HUAC**, and HUAP*** versions with your full file name ~ examining the sets offered here will show you how this is done. (*Open; **Closed; ***Pointing ~ failure to provide all versions will result in some goofy-looking hand-color-changes in some animations.)

      When offering Colorful Characters Skins for download, you're required to provide a link back to the main Colorful Characters page...
http://www.mercosims.com/colorfulcharacters/index.html
...somewhere near the download link[s], so that users can come here for the main Skins and default packages, heads, whatever. In return, I'll link the orginal Colorful Characters to your downloads ~ just email me the address.

      Sound fair? Thought so. :o)
