Sims 2 Mod: “Disguise” Interaction for Aliens
This is something I wanted to do a long time ago, but couldn’t figure it out completely until now, I hope you find this fun/usefull.
What does this new interaction?
This interaction is called ingame: “Telepathy…/Disguise…”. It allows aliens (from child to elder) identified with the token from Sophie-David’s “Mirrors of Discernment“ (This is REQUIRED) to disguise as a typical human sim (similar to how aliens in TS4 do), changing their skin, haircut, and applying a fake sclera to their eyes.
If you let an alien with the disguise active and go to play another family, the alien will appear in the disguise if you see they around.
You can customize the disguise by sim:
* Choose to keep the original skin, select between the 4 base skin colors or make it random!
* Choose to keep the original haircut, pick bald (not available for children), select between 5 base game haircuts (if you have defaults they should work), or make it random!
NOTE: The hair color will be the same as the original, but if it’s a custom hair color you can change appearance in the mirror, select a regular color, then apply the custom haircut again and the disguise will take the color you selected before.
NOTE 2: The haircut will not change in the preview/pose of the sim, nor on the loading screen.
These are the available haircuts, 5 for Female and 5 for Male (images taken from https://sims2defaults.dreamwidth.org):
* Choose to apply the fake sclera or don’t (the pupil of the eye is transparent, so you can see their real eye color).
Here we can see an example:
And another, using CC/Defaults:
Are they even the same girl? Yes, they are.
It will conflict with any mod that uses or changes:
* Properties 3 to 6 of the Alien token.
* Hair Overrides - Type: STR# - Group: 0x7F01EC29 - Instance: 0x00003039 (12345)
* Hair Override - Apply Bad Hair - Type: BHAV - Group: 0x7FD46CD0 - Instance: 0x00000534 (1332)
* Sub - Set Bad Hair Override - Type: BHAV - Group: 0x7F8FA50E - Instance: 0x00002016 (8214)
But I don’t know of any mod that does that… so if you find one please tell me.
You can change the family ID of the haircuts in the “Hair Overrides” STR that are under — Disguise Female Hair — and — Disguise Male Hair —, to replace the options 1-5 of both genders, you can even use custom binned haircuts instead.
Just keep in mind that all ages from child to elder use the same family ID, so if the haircut doesn’t include that age, maybe it won’t change, maybe it will show up wrong.
If you want to make a mod that check if the alien have the disguise active/deactive, you only have to check property 5 of the alien token. If it’s = 1, then it’s active. If it’s = 0 then it’s not.
IMPORTANT:
You have to pick 1 of 4 versions. 2 of them includes TS4 animations converted by @jellymeduza, and 2 of them are compatible with @midgethetree’s Zombie overlay.
So…
* Pick just ONE of the Velco_AlienDisguise.
* Add the “Meduza_4t2_alien_telepathy_animations” if you pick a TS4Anim version (You don’t have to do it if you already have it).
* Velco_scleraAlienOverlay is required by any version.
Credits:
* Sophie-David for the alien token.
* @jellymeduza for the “aliens-can-change-skintone” interaction and the converted TS4 animations.
* @whattheskell/Skellington for the fake sclera texture, I took it from their eyes makeup here or here.
And to you for reading and (possibly) downloading this.
