There is a video showing the process on the web page.

A major update to support scripting edits to scene graph resources, including replacing textures.

Hey ST ! I've seen in many of your posts - and especially sneak out with Ophelia - that Ripp has body hair. I've downloaded the improved maxis replacements you mentioned in an old WCIF, but until now I can't figure out how you got the hair on his body ! Is it an overlay box ?

Yes, the hair is from an overlay box. It’s a wooden crate as seen above and found in the miscellaneous category. To use, you select the sim you want to add body hair to and then click on the overlay box, then you’ll see the options to add or remove body hair, followed by a number of different options. You can choose from these sets for various amounts of hairiness, and also combine the different sets together.

I hope this helps! :) The body hair overlay box I use was uploaded by amonsimmies (thank you!) in this post. The Maxis Improved default replacements you mentioned are a skin default, and actually only alter the facial details of the Maxis skin.

I've been loving overlay boxes lately. I have many for tattoos, one to add body hair, one to add eyelashes and one to add nails, can someone recommend me any other particular ones?
