More overlays? More overlays! Specifically, 40 (40!) correlated body hair overlays for teens to elders of both genders, brought to you by the wonderful @episims and a little help from myself. There are different hair textures for each part of the body (arms, underarms, chest, stomach, back, cheeks, happy trail, pubis and legs), and you can combine them as you like. There are a lot of possible combinations!

Textures were made by Epi, based on Inky-Fish's textures (aside from the happy trail, which was stolen from @platinumaspiration). They come in the five natural colours, and will have the colour of your sims hair/eyebrows. Body hair goes grey when sims age into elders. The box is a 4t2 bath basket by Veranka, found in Misc/Dressers for 0§ (right next to this box by Nikki and my edit of Inky-Fish's box).

Besides making 200 textures, Epi cleaned unnecessary code from the "add/remove overlay" BHAVs, and also made an universal remove option for each part of the body, so you don't need to remember which specific overlay you've applied (*standing ovation*). Cute preview is also by Epi! You can see a swatch here/here and there's more info about the overlays in this post.

Credit goes to Epi, Inky-Fish, PlatAsp, Veranka and Morague. As usual, I only did the copy-pasting in SimPE. You can use the body hair textures for whatever you want, but DO NOT credit me! If you do, I will break into your house and kill your sims 💀

Update 24/06/25: I've fixed an error in the overlay Arms_5Medium, please redownload if you were having face issues (shouldn't happen unless you've deleted the previous overlay file).

Update 24/07/23: I've fixed an error in the overlay Arms_3&4Light, please redownload if you were having face issues.

Update 24/09/02: I included my personal version of the box, which is collection only, in the previous update (facepalm). Now you should be able to find the box in the catalogue again.

Another weird overlay box no one asked for! This time with prosthetic arms and legs in a cybor-like style. For teens to elders, both genders, including supernaturals. Textures are from this servo default by @criquette-was-here, edited by @episims and @andrevasims. Arms come in two flavours: brand new and worn out. There are no “worn out” legs, because the textures were too difficult to adjust to the sims’ bodies. And sadly, prosthetic legs will look weird on elder females (as shown here), because their ankles’ mapping is really cursed (sorry about that).

Update 23/07/10: The awesome @letomills​ fixed EF weird ankles! Thank you! 🥰 Even if you use replacements for the other outfits I recommend getting at least efbodynaked, efbodyswimwear and efbottomnaked.

These overlays have very high priority and layer, meaning they should go over any other overlay (explained here). The overlay box is a set of wrenches from this set by Sandy (*cough* also found here for free *cough*), located in Misc/Dressers for 22§.

Sidenote: If you prefer shiny textures, I recommend trying this overlay box by ja-viera. You can see the arm texture here.

Another overlay box, this time with navel piercings! This is something I’ve made for @cobycobsy2k​. Ten colours, for TF-EF. I got the textures from here, but after being resized to 7 pixels wide they’re barely recognizable anymore. You can see a close-up here.

The box is a piercing display I’ve stolen from @deedee-sims​, found in Misc/Dressers for 23§. I tried to make it placeable on counters but kept getting “bad gosub tree number” errors. Sorry about that. At least you can use it with OMSPs!

That’s it. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any problems! Thanks to @cobycobsy2k​ and @coriel-muroz​ for their feedback and encouragement 🥰

Wait, doesn’t this look familiar? It does, because it’s Inky-Fish’s Male Bodyhair Overlays. Preview is stolen from Inky-Fish as well. This box has been fixed by Rikkulidea here, but I’ve edited it a bit further:

Deleted the scalp empty textures (replaced with null material definitions).

Deleted the face empty textures (overlays work with my “NoFaceOverlay” now).

Fixed a small error in one of the overlays, so now all of them can be applied to elders.

Deleted TM textures from set 4b, because they were the same ones from set 4a, and linked TM material definitions from set 4b to AM textures from set 4a instead (which means less textures and more diversity).

Changed the box to use Veranka’s spa basket (because I hate crates, and because I wanted it to match PlatinumAspiration’s Feminine Bodyhair Overlays), and changed its location to Misc/Dressers.

Obviously, all credit goes to Inky-Fish and Rikkulidea. Swatch (also by Inky-Fish) is under the cut, but it only shows AM textures.

Sorry for the censorship, but I think tumblr was going to hate these pictures for some reason (even though there weren’t any pen*s there, only hair XD).

May I present to you: freckles overlays! This is an overlay box by @episims​​ and myself which contains 25 freckles overlays. There are freckles for the arms, legs, back and front, and each overlay comes in six different densities. Of course you can combine them, so your sims can have only a freckled back, or freckled arms and legs -or all at once! It's up to you! Oliver's body freckles (by @deedee-sims​​) are included as a bonus with thanks.

The overlay box is a freckled mannequin torso found in Misc/Dressers for 27§. Freckles are available for all ages and supernaturals states (they will show under plantsim/vampire/werewolf overlays). I've used a simplified method for making these, after deleting a bunch of resources from overlay packages I think were unnecessary. They seem to work properly in my game, but let me know if you find any problems. And that's all! Enjoy!

Epi for the 24 separated arms, legs, back and front freckles textures, for the freckled torso mannequin and for the cute preview and swatch.

Jessi for the face freckles Epi used as a base to make the former. Don’t forget to check them out if you haven’t already!

DeeDee for the full body freckles texture, which are the ones Oliver uses in her story Plus One, and Pheberoni for the brush she used.

@twofee​​ for the original freckles overlay box, which was obviously a huge inspiration for this work.

Special thanks to @itsdiamondeyesuniverse​​ for pushing me into doing this and learning how to make overlay boxes in the first place. 

UPDATE 24/05/21: I’ve made some changes to fix a no face/wrong face issue reported by some simmers. Please redownload if you’ve experienced this problem!

After seeing these alien recolours by @vixsims of these Mayberries’ skins, I had the idea of turning those birthmarks into overlays, so they can be combined with any skin and used without having any custom skin in your game. So that's exactly what I did, with a lot of help from the wonderful @episims​, who separated those birthmarks from the skins, fixed them and made a bunch of recolours. They are semi-transparent, so they look different over different skintones, and come in ten “natural” colours (Ivory to Licorice) and eight “alien” colours (Mint to Orange), but here’s Epi’s PSD in case anyone wants to make more recolours!

The overlays are applied through a box, which is a mannequin head found in Misc/Dressers for 25§, and work from baby to elder (although body birthmarks don't look great on babies, because of the mapping). It has to be placed on the floor to be used as an overlay box. Let me know if you find problems, and enjoy!

Genesims for the original face birthmark and Mayberries for the original skins.

@episims for separating those birthmarks from the skin, fixing mismatches in the alpha layer, replicating these colours and making a bunch of new ones (thank you sooo much ❤️). Preview and swatch are also by Epi (if you can’t tell).

Morague for the original tattoo box, and @deedee-sims for this box I cloned and this mannequin I employed as model.

Me for copy-pasting. Seriously. It was a lot of copy-pasting.

UPDATE 19/07/22: I’ve finally updated these to work properly with supernaturals. I’ve also changed priority and layer, so these will hopefully show under tattoos and makeup. Sorry it took two years 😅
