Please fix Dark Skin Tones (EA IGNORING THIS ISSUE SINCE 2018)

The skin tone update for the Sims 4 came out in early 2018. On almost all the dark skin tones there is a patch of discoloration between the brows, and below the sim's right nostril. Your messages of standing with the black community would mean a lot more if you actually showed you cared about representation in the game. Please fix the existing skin tones (cc creators fixed the errors within 24 hours, your team can too). Also, all of the MAC collab blushes cause weird issues with dark skin tones, from patches of discoloration to straight up lines on the skin texture. It is clear these blushes were not tested properly, and if they were tested on dark skin tones and still rolled out that is a completely other issue that should be looked into. Ideally, a skin tone slider would be great but I know that is more complex to implement then fixing existing textures. It still baffles me why we have more ability to customize pets than skin tone though.

Please fix the skin tones.

We haven't forgotten they are broken.

We told you in 2018 they were broken.

They have still not been fixed.

Please fix them.

Please start caring about how addedcontent looks on all skin tones.

I have bought every single pack for the Sims 4 but will no longer purchase because I think it's despicable that the company will put up a message standing with Black lives, but refuse to actually allow simmers to create realistic Black sims. 

Most of the information mentioned here I found from this yt video that further explains the exact issues with each swatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18LRCqhGtMU
