you could find a general site, that has all 30 teams skins.

anybody know where i can find a bluejay skin?

The OOTP Mods Directory in my sig has downloadable mods & links to other mods sites. Also, you could try searching the forum. I'm not sure that all teams skins have been done yet, though.

Please realize that game add-ons are created by the community - people like yourself - and not all skins are done by the same person, nor do they all have internet storage assets to "display their wares". Adventureran's website is one of a few that tries to collect as many of these random locations as possible and present them in a single list

You'd think by this time that more people would be willing to try making a skin for the community instead of quickly jumping down the mod makers backs for not having done so already. Those that choose to invest a lot of their free time into helping this sim become rich with add-ons shouldn’t be treated as slackers. Instead of asking about the existence of a particular skin twice within the same hour you might have used the search feature to do some looking on your own. If you had done that you would have come across some excellent resources for modification sites as well as the realization that others have simply requested that a particular skin be made for them, which is usually done in a day or so just on their request alone. A little respect goes a long way.

If you ask nicely I am sure that Shub or someone else with some free time at work will be more than happy to whip up a Bluejays skin for you.

last night, i probably spent atleast 2 hrs searching around with the "search" feature on these boards, as well as BBSC boards. I probably visited atleast 10 different sites, and/or communities that cover this game, and found many duplicates of teams, and not a bluejay skin.

I posted this out of fustration. Because i spent alot of time searching around, and not finding anything.

I understand. Searching huge messageboards can sometimes feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But as Henry said, these mods are all done by individuals, so there is no guarantee that every team is or will be skinned. Though, I would venture to guess they eventually will be. Most of us involved in this sort of thing don't like incomplete collections.

If you searched and didn't find one, then there probably isn't one yet. I imagine it would be a nice one though. Maybe someone can put one together for you or perhaps you could offer to help design one.

I know how to use photoshop, and wouldn't mind helping.

ive already tried to do it on my own with photoshop, and got nowhere in a hurry.

Why in the world would you want a skin of..

I'm keeping this quote in my clipcache to use it everytime I see an opportunity.

, yeah, I would have thought with all the Canadian OOTP players that there would be a Blue Jays skin by now too. And no, I'm not ripping the utility makers, it's just a little surprising.

personally, I didn't think your request was off-base or rude at all...

Sorry if I came across as a bit harsh. It was a rather late night for me and I hadn't woken up fully yet. Maybe I would have been better served by not posting so soon after waking up in the first place.

At any rate, it just seemed as a bit rough on the skin makes to have asked politely at first and then to resort to a "you'd think by now" attitude not even an hour later. The people that create these excellent skins usually like to play the game as well and wouldn't have much time for that if they focused soley on making sure that every team has a skin.

Sorry again for the attitude and I hope that you get what you are looking for.
