Alien Defaults not working?

[jensmustles]

Greetings! I have installed thealicecat 's Pt Mod and yet everytime I try to have an alien baby, the facial features are there (Sorta) but the skin and eyes are always regular... not PT.

Anyone have any idea why this happens or how I can fix it? 
My defaults worked before I put in the PT set, So I know it's not them. Thanks

Edit: I have taken out everything

Does that set use its own default skins? If so, do you have those skins?

I've had this same problem before (different set) and it was because the set used its own defaults and I use only maxis skins.

You'll either need to use the set's defaults or re-build the PT set (so it uses your skins).

I will give that a shot, thanks!

I tried this, installed the same defaults and it's still not working :(

(sorry I don't have the exact answer but I have another question that might help. . .I think)

When you look at the family tree, is the replacement PT showing up as a parent? If not, then there might be something wrong with the set (or if you're using a megahood, I've heard there are sometimes issues with PT replacement sets not working quite right with megahoods).

If the replace PT is showing as a parent, then I'd say the problem still is defaults but I don't know how to fix it (sorry).

Have you asked the creator of the set? Maybe someone else had the problem and it's since been fixed/addressed?

I hope someone (some SMART one) can help you out.

Are you sure it's not conflicting with anything? The set works fine for me... try having the alien babies have kids, maybe they'll pass on the skin. Or check their genetics in simPe. Maybe it's not showing up first generation for some reason?

I took out all of my hacks minus the insimenator and tried. Also took out all my skins minus the defaults I have and the babies are coming out with s4 and s2 instead of the green.

What are the parent's genetics? If the parent has a custom skin or dominant eye color, it is possible to get a human looking alien. I usually have the problem with dark blue eyes or brown eyes, where I'll get green skin and human eyes. But if the skin hasn't been geneticised, that could cause the same result.

Its an S1 Skin and Light Blue eyes :/
The babies are getting Grey, Green and brown eyes. Which seems odd seeing as the aliens don't have those I don't think.

That is weird, because I think alien eyes are dominant, so the only way they shouldn't show up is if the other parent has a dominant eye color too. Have you looked at the alien in CAS or body shop? See what their eye/skin color in simpe is? You can make sure the aliens weren't made with grey, green or brown eyes. When you look up the aliens in either program, you could look at their skin too and see what they were created with.

I tried a different PT hack and the same thing happened. Which is why I think my game is actually broked :(

I see you've fixed it. But I'll mention this in case anyone else has a similar problem. I had a problem similar to this when I was using multiple-PT sets. Solution is here.
