A remedy for plastic-looking TS2 CC recolour
Easy Shine Removal kit for SimPe
Download (SFS) Archive contains instructions
Three xml files are included - 'shine removal' will make stuff completely matte, 'reduced shine' xml can also be used to make matt stuff slightly shiny. And there's also 'Sepia tint' that I use to quickly make bright stuff a bit grungy.
Just open a recolour (or object mesh file), click on TXMT resource, click Properties tab (in TXMT Plugin View) and use Merge button to apply the appropriate settings xml.
This will work for anything that's using StandardMaterial definition: Buymode & Buildmode objects and also some Bodyshop items like glasses / jewellery.
Enjoy!
