Have you brought the servo to a mirror? Last time I changed skins through simpe, it didn't take full effect until I brought him to a mirror, fiddle with putting on/off full masks, and then ok'd out of it. That was with a full human though, so it might not work for a servo.

Oh and I believe you need to change the DNA in two places, the sims DNA section and the age data such as said here. I'm not sure if sim surgery does that for you? But if you skip the age data part, it might be why the skin isn't showing up.

The changing DNA is two sections is mainly to change the appearance and then to make it genetic. Servos cannot have children, they have no DNA, etc, so this method is most likely ineffective. I have never tried it so I can't say for sure but I would suspect that changing a servo's DNA is totally ineffective and won't change anything because they have no DNA so fiddling with that data changes nothing.

They can have children. Maybe you need certain hacks for them but I've gotten male servos can get females pregnant (and males if you have the same pregnancy hacks). Now whether they actually donate anything to the babies genes, I'm not sure. But my servo and his wife had quite a brood of kids. Since there is a DNA slot in simpe for them, I figured when they become human looking, this is where the game is looking for reference on what skin to give them. I figured if you need to change both parts for a normal sim, why not change them for the servos too, since they're supposed to look like a normal sim?

Could be. As far as I know servos can't have kids "naturally" so you were using either some sort of hack or the Tombstone of L&D to impregnate the female. The Tombstone lets you impregnate a sim with the skunk and the remote control car, so a servo should be no problem for it either! LOL ( ... )

I never use Tombstone, and I could have sworn she got pregnant without the help of hacks because I was more eager to try out the features then go searching to make sure all the hacks I had sitting on my desktop were good for the new EPs. It's been awhile, so I suppose I could be mistaken. But the kids definitely happened ( ... )
