ahh yes, another help with choosing a new skin with slink appliers thread

[Jonna Korhonen]

Hiya sunshine sparkle faces :)

 

Okies, so I **love** my Dr Life skin. It has nice soft facial tones and good texturing of the bewbie cleavage and derriere. I also tried slink feet and now there is no turning back since I have been waiting for mesh feet with sock/stockings appliers for like 100 second life years LOL.

 

And therein lies the problem. I cannot get a good match without using one of the blending tattoo layers. While that looks okay it does give the appearance that my legs are spray painted from the shin on down. And since there is a googleplex of skin out there I am asking the forum for some help with homing in on a new skin. I would like something like Dr Life with slink appliers if that is possible. Here is some pics of my look for reference.

 

Thank you for any help!

Hugs

What timing. The Skin Fair just opened today.  Three sims full of skins.  Go, look, grab demos and try them on with your focus on skins that have appliers for Slink hands & feet.  Take your time and have fun.

I so hopeless and lazy that I just link to Pinterest where the Skin Fair 2014 images are collected. http://www.pinterest.com/elysiumhynes/skin-fair/

I think I will suggest 2 stores first  - WoW skins, Sim 1, right edge of the map, and Tuty's, Sim 2, upper left corner.

I suggest you Deetalez skins but you should visit the skin fair that you will find a lot of options.

I asked for demos in another forum. The fair is going to be packed the first time, so it can be hard to get in. I heard that the Pale Girl Productions Info group has demos from the Skin Fair in their notices. I am not logging in to check it...yet! :matte-motes-little-laugh:

It's the Fair exclusives I am afraid to miss. I always see nice stuff in blogs or Flickr that was exclusive to some event and not available anymore.

There's a competing brand to Slink called GoS.

GoS actually has more skin matches available for it - but they're all done by the maker. They might not be true appliers so much as tonal matches. But they look good nonetheless.

Check them out if you can't find your skin of choice through slink.

I've heard that the slink applier system is hard to work with for skin makers - perhaps requiring a custom texture and not using the avatar texture. Unless that was a misinformed skin maker saying that. But if so, it would explain why so fewer brands work with it than work with mesh-boobs despite it likely being a bigger market.

I can confirm that Pale Girl Productions group has demo skins from the fair.

There is also Skifija, which style pantyhose supports in world with a few appliers.

As far as I know, only Slink feet work with skin appliers. So that the skin texture is applied to the feet, not just tinted. Slink also has the majority of shoes that can be added to mesh feet. It's just to see the Marketplace. Use Slink as search word in Apparel. Gos is very good, I own quite a few shoes from them and the feet is really pretty, it is also N-core ans Skifja. But no one of these can use shoes made for Slink.
