Description:

This is my 900 series nude and brief mesh set that replaces the Mermaid Cove's "RubenDude" a full-bodied male nude and brief meshes.  In addition to replacing the RubenDude's nude this zip file provides the RubenDude the ability to sleep nude, go skinny-dipping and be a nudist.  In order for it to work it will require at least the "Hot Date" expansion.  I personally have not used or tested these mesh in the game.  I created them in honoring the request from the fans of Chubby Sims.  For your information and credit to Mermaid Cove I provide below the Readme File Text from the Hot Date RubenDude Download.

How to Use Notes:

To use this set you must first have Mermaid Cove RubenDude Hot date Download of course, then relocate / remove the following Mermaid Cove files out of the game folders to be replaced. 

For the nude:

NMRub_RubenDudeNude.cmx
xskin-NMRub_RubenDudeNude-PELVIS-BODY.skn
NMRubDrk_RubenDudeNude.bmp
NMRubLgt_RubenDudeNude.bmp
NMRubMed_RubenDudeNude.bmp 

For the underwear and swimwear (if you want both mesh do not remove):

L06HMAFit_RubenDude_SleepUndies.cmx 
S06HMAFit_RubenDude_Swimsuit.cmx
xskin-L06HMAFit_RubenDude_SleepUndies-PELVIS-BODY.skn
xskin-S06HMAFit_RubenDude_Swimsuit-PELVIS-BODY.skn

Now place all skn cmx and bmp files included in this archive into the skin folder for the game.  Note that Mermaid cove suggest placing files in the SkinsBuy folder, I personally do not.  I have not had any problems of items not being available downtown but if you do let me know.  These are custom skins and meshes and uses RUB as a different indentification from the standard original game designation of skinny (skn), fit and fat sims.  You will need the RubenDude Basic Set in order to use.  When you create a sim pick the RubenDude body from the selection and after you put him in a house you will need to go down town to buy his pajamas (sleep nude)and swim suit (skinny-dipping).  Other wise, unless he is nude, will have a considerable weight loss when he changes his clothes, because the default body size is FIT and will not recognize the RUB body designation for the pj, swim, and will apply the fit defaults.  While you are buying his clothes down town, the selections will be from the "Fit" group.  Go through all of the selections until you find the right body size for your RubenDude sim.  

If you already have a RubenDude Character created and already have purchased outfits downtown you will have to re-buy new outfits because you have removed those files and it will go back to the default fit pj's and swimwear.  If the game crashes you will have to evict the previous RubenDude house and then buy a new house, but I don't think that this will happen.  

To have the nudist, sleep and swim wear for the medium and dark skins you will have to copy and paste the NMRub medium and dark skins then rename them as shown below (similar to the light skins) for the B, L and S .bmp file format.

Mermaid Cove's Readme file for the Ruben Dude:


RubenDude_HotDateStarterSet
March, 2002

 
                                                                                   
                         The "RubenDude" Full-bodied Male Mesh                     
                                  From Mermaid Cove                                
                                                                                   
 

STEP 1:
     Extract these files ONLY into the ...\The Sims\GameDate\Skins folder
     (In other words, pick out all files with "NMRub" in their names.):
       NMRub_RubenDudeNude.cmx
       xskin-NMRub_RubenDudeNude-PELVIS-BODY.skn
       NMRubLgt_RubenDudeNude.bmp
       NMRubMed_RubenDudeNude.bmp
       NMRubDrk_RubenDudeNude.bmp

STEP 2:
     Extract the remaining .cmx, .skn, and .bmp files to:
     ...\The Sims\ExpansionPack3\SkinsBuy folder.

     Some players have reported being able to install the files in the usual
   ...GameData\Skins folder, but others have said that Buyable Skins don't   show up 
     Downtown when they do that. It's up to you if you want to try.

STEP 3:
     Once the files are installed, have your "RubenDude" Sim go Downtown and buy 
     them: Formal, Swimwear, and "Lingerie" (RubenDude sleeps in his underwear). These 
     will appear mixed in with your other "Fit" Skins, but should be easy to tell 
     apart from genuine "Fit" Skins by their size and proportions. (Sorry, that's just 
     the way the game works.)

     When he goes home, your "RubenDude" Sim can then change into each Skin by 
     engaging in the appropriate activity (sleeping, swimming or lounging in the hot 
     tub, or getting married), OR he can change at one of the Hot Date compatible 
     Wardrobes.

WHY "RUBENDUDE"? ~ After I created the "Rubenesque" Female Sims Mesh, players started 
emailing me asking for MALE Sims who were worthy of these substantial women. So, 
using my own husband as a guide <G>, I altered some MA meshes from "The Sims", and 
"RubenDude" was born.

The .BMP files (clothing, flesh colored areas) contained in this .ZIP file were 
created by Hairfish, of Mermaid Cove, and are based on original Maxis game files. 
The meshes (.CMX AND .SKN files) come from "The Sims" game CD or one of the expansion 
packs, and have been altered by Hairfish for the "RubenDude" style, using "BodyWarp." 
EA/Maxis retains all copyright to the original mesh files from which all other meshes 
are derived.

In other words...you're welcome to use these Meshes (.cmx and .skn files) for your own 
creations, and to re-distribute them. I'd appreciate it if you'd stick with the 
"RubenDude" name and give me credit for it, and include this README file in your .zip package. If you change the Mesh in *any* way, PLEASE re-name & re-number all the 
files, so yours won't overwrite mine! BodyWarp does a good job of this, easily. 

As for the Skins, since all Skinners start with original Maxis Skins, you're also 
welcome to use "mine" as inspiration and bases for your own Skins, and to 
re-distribute them. PLEASE change them substantially before calling them your own. 
Credit for the original and a link to Mermaid Cove is all I ask in return.

I BELIEVE IN SHARING FREELY ~ AS LONG AS CREDIT IS GIVEN!

If you have any problems with these Skins or Meshes, let me know. I've tested them 
thoroughly in my game, but Murphy's Law* can kick in at any time. 
(*"Whatever can go wrong, eventually will.")

Have fun!
