When we on Hammmer and Modding want to change the skin of something, we normally create a new model which we then implement in our map. (depending on the entity, that can be rather tricky). There has been a thread about cube reskinning lately. However, that was for cubes, which were implemented in certain maps. You change the already existing skins in the campaign. I have not much experience with that.
But why don't you ask the thread creator of the steam thread you posted? He wrote:
"I have tested this and found it to work but I might of missed something (Doubt it though or so I hope ). If it does not please post your problem and I'll help you.

Okay. I downloaded your files, but I won't be able to try it until later today.

I was able to look at your files. Are you sure you uploaded the right thing? Your mediafire link just looks like the standard skin. Also, part of your problem might be adding the number at the end of the file name. Instead of "personality_sphere1" try "personality_spher1". Adding the extra letter/number can mess up the system, and not cause the skin to be loaded.

Do that for all the .vtf files. Adding an extra letter/number to the end can (and has) messed it up. You don't actually need the .vmts, too. Oh, and can you upload the skins that you were trying to get to work? Because what you linked to at mediafire (I'm pretty sure) was the normal Wheatley skin.

It's not an instantaneous process. I have to configure the files, load the game, find Wheatley, take pics, upload them....
