Starting with Solitaire 4.0 users will be able to purchase additional skins from a vendor at the Moo Town Games Store In-World. Skins purchased will automatically show up as options in the "Skins" portion of the game's owner menu.

You can create skins and make them available for purchase by other users. You will also be able to use your own skins for free.

To get started, download the Solitaire Suite Skin Templates file from this site.

Once your skin is ready, send a notecard to Paso Clip in world with the texture UUIDs of your skin files. You can get this by right-clicking the textures in your inventory and selecting "Copy Asset UUID".

A formatted version of how the notecard needs to be laid out is included in the download file.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: When will I be able to use skins?
A: Skins will be available upon the launch of Solitaire 4.0 in the near future.

Q: Do I have to support all of the game types?
A: No, but most users of Solitaire have many of them installed so you will most likely sell less skins.

Q: What happens if a game is played with a skin that does not support that game type?
A: The game will use the default skin known as "Classic Green" or the previously selected skin that did support it.

Q: How much will skins be sold for?
A: Thats up to you :-) We recommend about 2,500 because of the amount of work needed to make one.

Q: How much do I get of the sale price?
A: 80%.

Q: Do I have to make skins for the top, back and sides of the game?
A: Yes.

Q: Do I have to include all the parts of the board?
A: Yes.

Q: Can I put my name on the skin?

Q: Can I make adult themed skins.
A: Yes, however only users in Mature Sims can use them.

Q: Can I make matching cards?
A: Not at this time, but we are looking into doing this.

Q: Can I make matching card backs?
A: Yes

Q: Can I test the skins before I send them to Paso?
A: Yes, start a game of the game type you want on your own solitaire game and then once the game has started drag your skin texture to the game.

Q: Why do my skins have to be approved?
A: Most game types in Solitaire use the board as a part of the game, a skin that misrepresents the board could make it hard or impossible for a player to play the game.

Q: What if my skin is not approved?
A: We will send you a note letting you know why it was not and what must be done to fix it.

Q: Why is Paso Clip so wonderful?
A: Oh, he just is :-)
