[FIXED] [GTW] Alien skin tone missing

Same problem here.

I have the same light blue-ish skintone missing. The only way I can use it is when I click on the face template that has the missing tone on it then change the Sim the way I want. It still won't show up afterwards after selecting the template.

Purple skin tone is missing from newest skin tone patch update.

I think those options that you do have in CAS for skin tones are the vampire options, with all the gray. This is what comes up for me on one of my half-alien sims. He has the turquoise alien skin tones that he was born with but if I go into CAS to edit him only the vampire skins show up. In another household I have two aliens and when I take them into CAS they have all of the usual alien skin tone options except the lightest blue one, so it seems to vary by sim and/or household.

I think @Daephene1 is right. The lightest blue isn't intended as an alien skin tone afaik, but someone from EA will have to confirm it.

EDIT: It's not available for any of my aliens, while it is there for all my vampires

I don't think the light blue-gray vampire skin is the same as the alien ice blue skin tone that is missing. It's grayer. 

I did some checking in my game and all of my non-occult sims have access to the same skin tones as the vampire dark forms. My half-alien toddler who was born with one of the alien skin tones is only showing the vampire options in CAS now, the same as all of my fully human sims. So I can't use a slider on his existing skin tone. From the sound of the earlier complaint this may also be happening to full blooded aliens in other people's games. 

My two YA full blooded aliens have access to the 8 skin tones mentioned above, but not the light blue that used to be available. I get the same 8 options when I go to create a new alien in CAS. These two aliens live together, while the toddler lives in a household where everyone else is fully human, I don't know if that has any effect.

My mermaid seems to have almost all of the vampire and alien skin tones available to her.

Those are different skin tones. I haven't patched yet, so here's an example on a mermaid (vampires don't get alien skin tones.)

I'm missing all of my alien skin colours after the latest game update, none of the options are still in MISC - I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with mods but I could be wrong?

@EmmaB86I think that's a mod issue. I eventually patched, and I still have the red, blue, and green human sim tones.

Edit: I think this might actually be part of a larger issue with the misc/occult skin tones. It looks like spellcasters and mermaids still have the skin tone that isn't appearing for aliens, but the mermaids (in that form) can't use the blue or green base game skintones, and spellcasters don't get the darker alien green.

@DragonSeer20YES there is blue but its much darker and/or different tone than the original light blue alien skintone

I noticed this straight away because its my favourite and many sims have it in the game but if you edit them there is no way to get the same skintone back

I also don't use any mods or cc so that can't be the cause
