Also glad they're improving the pale skin tones aswell. The existing ones are horrible. As someone who's really pale I can never make a simself as the pale skin tones are literally glowing. Why are they SO bright? There's way too much highlight, my forehead in real life does not glow. I always make tan sims as basically every other tone is bad.

The skin tone slider may help that issue; would be worth playing with to see and put in your 2 Simoleons. B)

Indeed I’m glad all skintones are getting a fix and a slider. Make this party as inclusive as possible since we’re at it.

So, this is genuinely good news, and also sadly the only good news in the last year.

Now fix personalities. And I don't say that being flippant, this geninely feels like an actual HUGE step in the right direction.
(Edit: as for the "two base game hairstyles"... I assume they mean "Large Potato" and "Not large potato"?)

Which ones are large potato and not large potato?

The large afro and small afro, they have been ridiculed and hated by Simmers of color since release.

The only thing I am mad about is that they could have given us sliders all this time, but they decided to do it 6 years later. If sliders are possible today they were possible when they were developing the game but they decided to do the bare minimum.

Welp, there goes all my skins and cc makeup. :s

it's also such a big coincidence that they're choosing to update skin tones when the black lives matter gained traction and also when white simmers began to talk about it and get on them to change it. not when we made a fuss about it back when the update was made a few years ago. I just wonder their reason for updating this now when they could have done it with cats and dogs

@simgraves Yeah. I think that also has to do with the big Gamechangers speaking up, which to be honest are also all white. And you know how much they respect GC opinions.
Yeah but I have yet to see popular black Gamechangers or Sims Youtubers in general. Except, there is that girl that is getting pretty popular but she makes more critical videos, so I don't think she's a Gamechanger. Can't remember what she's called right now, but I've seen some of her videos on the Sims 4.

SimmerErin? She's like the new Pixelade now that Pixelade wants to be a game changer.

Pixelade has been amazingly critical of EA/Maxis. Have you watched his star wars videos? Also in almost every video I've watched recently he's calling EA out about how long it's taken to address skin tones as well as babies and other things gamers want.

There is at least one GoC (Game Changer Of Color ;) ). She got her Sim Self in the Get Famous trailer together with James and Deli and...? (don't remember who else).

Not only do they have to work with genetics they have to work well with the tanning system from Island Living. So I assume that’s why we have to wait til December for the new lot.
