Basically the only difference between the cmx names and the bmp
names is the lack of skin color information in the cmx file since it can be
shared among all three skin tones.
There has always been a skin record for assigning Normal,
Formal, and Swimsuits.
In Hot Date this record was moved and the ability to assign
skins by body name was disabled for most items.
Starting with Hot Date Formal hands also no longer work by
assigning them in the skin records. (In fact I have not found a way to make them
work since the game now just ignores the changes)
HD - Names are standard names for Hot Date skins.
VI - Names are standard names for Vacation skins. Users of
SimEnhancer will need to use Hot Date names for Formals and Swimsuits if they do
not have Hot Date or Vacation Expansions to use it for changing skins.
SS - Names are standard names for Superstar
skins.
Winter was added in Vacation and is not available on any
previous
version.
H - This is also the first character used for
hands.
Hands and Nude Skins use a slightly different naming
convention than the normal one above.
Special switches usable in SimEnhancer 3D, Most are included
just for changing the appearance of the interface. (see below for exact usage)
Details for using shortcut switches:
To use a shortcut switch you need to modify the shortcut used to
open the program. The easiest is to modify the desktop shortcut that is included
so that is what I will explain here.
1: Locate
the desktop shortcut used to launch SimEnhancer 3D. It will look something
like the image on the right. Do not mistake this with a shortcut to the
SimEnhancer web site which might look similar.
2: Put your mouse over this icon, Right click it, then choose
properties from the drop down list.
This will bring up a window that looks similar to the one
on the right.
This will vary from one operating system to another but this should be close to
what you will see.
The item you will be adding the switch to is the Target. This is
where SimEnhancer is actually located.
The default target is:
"C:/Program Files/SimEnhancer/SimEnhancer3d.exe"
3: Go to the very end of the line past the quote and click to
place your cursor there.
4: Add a space.
5: Add the switch and then another space.
6: Add the value. (Values will vary see below for valid color
values)
Now you should see something similar to this.
7: Finally click Apply and then Close.
Switches can be combined and do not need to be in any specific
order. Values will always need to follow the switch and a space to work properly
though. <Space><Switch><Space><Value>
The following color values are
recognized: Black, Maroon, Green, Olive, Navy, Purple, Teal, Gray, Silver, Red, Lime, Yellow, Blue, Fuchsia, Aqua,
and White
