Standard Naming Convention for Sims Skins

This table shows what each part of the skin name means. This can be especially helpful if you wish to design your own skins or need to troubleshoot skin name problems.

Name for this outfit

Extension

B = Normal (All)
F = Formal (HD,VI)
L = Lingerie (HD,VI)
S = Swimsuit (HD,VI)
W = Winter (VI)

 

F = Female
M = Male

C = Child
A = Adult

Chd = Child
Skn = Skinny
Fit = Fit
Fat = Large

Lgt = Light
Med = Medium
Drk = Dark

 

.bmp = Bitmap
.cmx = CMX File

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. Users of SimEnhancer will need to use Hot Date names for Formals and Swimsuits if they do not have Hot Date or Vacation Expansions if they are changing 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.

Lingerie was not added as part of the character skin data until Hot Date. To change the Pajamas you will need to assign names that match the body to work if you do not have Hot Date or Vacation.

Winter was added in Vacation and is not available on any other version.

Hands and Nude Skins use a slightly different naming convention than the normal one above.
