100+ New Skin Tones and Makeup Sliders Confirmed

This is actually super exciting and much more than I thought we'd get. It's about time we had more customisation options than an online dress up game.

I hope that maybe next year they'll also introduce more hair colours, the blondes and browns leave a lot to be desired.

But I'm honestly pleasantly surprised :)

For those of us who don't use custom, this is a good update. And I'm sure they're working on squashing all sorts of bugs, EL and non-EL. It takes a while to find/replicate the problems then figure out the code changes needed.

Also to be fair there are some bugs they can’t squash because they’re caused by low specs and people not updating GPUs whether folks want to admit it or not. They can only squash what they can replicate on their end.

Exaaactly. The fact that people STILL don't get this is just baffling to me.

I know it takes time but they're supposed to be professionals at this and in the mean time they have managed to release two new packs. It's highly frustrating at this point. Gardening is broken since Eco Lifestyle released. I'm not that into gardening personally but some people are and it's not fair that people have to wait this long for a fix. The N.A.P's are a huge part of the expansion but they're unplayable and highly disruptive the game without mods to fix them. I'm sorry but this service is just not good enough. I'm happy for those that wanted the skin tones, I really am but more needs to be done and far sooner than Decemeber.

Not everyone gets hit with the same bugs -- I haven't observed any issues with gardening, but that's just me and my system. December is the big skin tone update, but we're likely to see patches in October and November as well (especially if we're getting an EP to take advantage of the pre-Winterfest sales B) ). Perhaps the fixes will be in one of those patches.

I will simply say, there’s a definite group who don’t play S4, but make it a hobby to complain about it no matter what dlc, or improvements are on offer. I don’t deny there are issues but I genuinely feel like the devs are trying their best for us.

Yeah... I know a lot of "Not Gamers" play Sims but the fact that people had an issue with the 64 bit thing, when no computer released for TWELVE YEARS have been 32 bit, kind of puts the problem in the owner's court, not EA.

If your computer is a 32 bit machine, you need to change priorities if you want to continue to play any (and I mean any) games.

This is great :)

I have a lot of CC for blushes and some CC-occult-skins. It might take a while before I update my game but I'm looking forward to reading about it.

As a side-note I never understood the complaint when an update breaks CC, or when CC or mods break the game.
It is, quite frankly, not EA's job NOR their moral obligation to even THINK about testing anything on a modded game. Mods are, per definition, installed "As is" on your own responsibility.

Bugs that happens on regular machines with common hardware and no mods or CC installed? Those are EA's job AND moral obligation to fix. As a recent victim of the persistent "Double Festival" bug I know exactly how frustrating it can be. But if a game update breaks your CC, or if your script mod causes crashes to desktop after an update?

It's your fault, your problem and your responsibility to fix. Or uninstall the mod, of course.

Has there been a lot of simmers demanding EA test with CC, don't remember seeing it. I might have missed it. Hmm... I think it is different when you just plainly state "jupp, some of this lovely stuff will be broke".

Ha ha, one of my favorite blushes is from a creator that did this in 2016/2017 and then went missing. Can just imagine hunting them down and sending an e-mail. "Hi, 3-4 years ago you did some really nice CC. Would you like to come back please".

I will just have to wait a little but until the creators come out with new stuff that is tailored to the new improved skins :)

I’d much rather have this for hair colours, which are dire, but hey, it’s progress I guess.

Not outright. But a lot of Simmers get angry when "A bug" breaks something and it turns out they have modded their game to beyond the stars.
I think most accept black-faced (not Blackface ;) ) Sims or freaky eyes after an update, but things that are not obviously caused by CC? Like as I said new features not working, working too good (spreading to places they shouldn't) or crashes to Desktop? Very quckly it is "EA's fault" because the cause is not apparent.
