Custom skin?

I use Kurasoberina HD Primer as my default skin but I can't really say what it looks like in game because I always use non-default skins on my active sims. My townies look good in the Primer but that's without looking closely at them and they are usually dressed ;)

@McTosh It's not you, I think it happens to everyone. Don't be disheartened, just keep clearing caches and restarting the game and eventually the skins will look normal I promise :smile:

I agree with @coco that you should keep clearing your caches and reloading the save. Even with a default replacement skin I have found that when I start a new save townies will often have EA skin on until the default replacement kicks in. Perhaps the blotchiness is because the skin is because it is still trying to cover the EA skin.

could be, i even removed every single mod out of hte mods folder to test conflicts and nope, same result here:

her legs look like a leper with smallpox has been licking them

i'll put up with it for a while and just keep clearing cache etc and see if it goes away on its own after a while like you said :) thanks mikezumi and coco

OMG i love you both so much glad i listened and kept it in. it seems to have fixed its self, the guy looks way better and she looks way way better

i've played without cc skins etc forever because i didn't think i needed them/weren't worth the hassle. but i love it. i'm gonna go look for more skins now and then play with her face in CAS.

it was this thread that peaked my interest and made me take the dive >>
now i want to create unique looking sims, as all mine tend to look the same. now i can :D

That happens sometimes with Navetsea's skins. They are very close to real life skins, so they might look blotchy. I use hairy4 for my main characters, as I think the faces are so natural looking, and navetsea adult hot as default. Then I use kursoberina's skins for my darker skinned and Asian sims, mangosmoothie for my oriental (Egyptian) sims. Those skins are beautiful, and less "blotchy", but also, in my opinion, not detailed enough.
Comparison navetsea and mangosmoothie:

Here's a link to a page on my blog where you can see a lot of the torso. The skin looks a little blotchy from the back, especially the spinal column...

ah so a little blotchiness is normal. i've found a mod that tweaks lighting and shadows, i feel that's helped a lot. i'll check mangosmoothie out thanks :D

@McTosh I just remembered that recently I was trying different skins on a WIP sim.

@jillbg This is why we need a LOL button! I spat my tea all over the screen when I read that! Skyrocket bears no resemblance to mamyrocker! :D :D :D
Yes, it is mamyrocker :)

@Mikezumi lolololol :joy:

Some creators use different colours to identify their skins. For others you can see the name of the skin/creator in the bar where the colour slider is.

thanks for all your help mikezumi :D

look i've been playing with the skins & sliders (i used to just click randomize until i got a semi-decent hit)

his mouth and cheeks look weird so i'll probably play with the sliders some more later but wow what a difference some skin, eyes and using the sliders makes. he definitely doesn't look pudding
