How To Sim Celebrities on The Sims 2 - A Tutorial

This is a tutorial for beginners (requested by XxXdragurlifeXxX at MTS2)on how to sim celebrities. Most of creating celebrity sims is usually your part. You must be detailed with shaping face structure and the skinning.

If this tutorial did not help you, I recommend you read some tutorials from Modthesims2.com. That's where I learned most of how to sim.

*Also, I realize my Jessica Biel Sim doesn't look exactly like her. I'll work on her more!*
Notes:

Why do I have to save the document as a PSD?

Save it as a PSD first, so that when you need to fix something in a layer, you can go back and change or fix it.

Sim Skintone Websites:
Usually get them from Modthesims2
I get the celebrity ones from TSR, usually pay stuff.
But if you want to skip the pay and get the good stuff, here's a website:

hiii ive finishd but dont know what to sav it as i know u said to save it as a bmp but i dont know what that is :L and do i save it over the original sim or make a different name? thak you

[vindicatedmess]

@addicted2fashionandU usually at the bottom of the Save As menu, there's a drop down box that says Format. Click that, and the BMP format is the 2nd one at the top below Photoshop.

it just doesnt work. i tried to fix it for hours and i cant do it. its very frustrating. When I saved the file it did not come up on body shop, it just showed a plain sims.

[vindicatedmess]

@savethelephantnow Check to see if it's being saved as a .bmp after all editing has been done, and check if it is being saved in the right folder. If this doesn't help, I can't think of any other reason why it shows up in bodyshop as a plain sim.

@kitty19181 totally agree. some of the things on sims 3 are kewl enough to be on sims 2, but sims 2 rules forever so in my own words: fuck sims 3! thumbs up if u agree!

Good job. Although the whole process is creepy. ಠ_ಠ

@vindicatedmess if all else fails copy the images (merged) and paste it in paint and save it there. :)

I just clicked on this cuz I saw Jessica Biel and I was curious to see if the finished Sim actually looks like her...

[VanillaTwilightXD]

It didn't worked for me, I replayed the video over and over again to see what have I done wrong but I can't seem to find the mistake. I exported the all the face and body pics with the .bmp format and they are in the right folder.. still when I click on it when build a sim I see no difference with the normal base skins. All I can think of being the mistake here is the version of my bodyshop (which is 1.0 (2005) would It matter if I had a more recent version?

[glitterrini]

I made a George Lopez sim and a Miley cyrus sim and they went out....

[MarleHunter85]

Can someone make Alec Baldwin, Tobias Moretti and Enrique Igleasias for me, please?

@JandK813 Paint doesn't have the same capabilities as Photoshop. I was just searching to see if there was an online editing program and I found "Splashup". I don't think you need to download anything, it's all working online. If you click "Jump Right In", there will be a another window that pops up and you can work from that window just like photoshop. However, if there's no other option, try and use Paint, experiment with what you can do with it. Tell me if you still need help finding programs.
