Great. but why has it taken this long? they shouldn't have to be told to be inclusive. I'm not going to sit here and praise them for something that should've been in the base game 6 YEARS AGO. If it wasn't for the BLM movement and the backlash they'd have never even bothered to do it.

Thanks but I'm bored.

I highly doubt they've been able to whip this up in the 5 months BLM has been at its peak.

Of course they can. Do you seriously think they would have no screenshots for something they’ve had in the pipeline for awhile? No. Wasn’t even that long ago that the white game changers bullied the gurus into committing to this and if I had to guess not a whole lot of work got done between then and when they talked about it again in early Sept. It’s cool they’re doing it, but it reflects poorly on them what it took to actually get them to do this caliber of work.

I read the official announcement and hope people realize this is for midgrade and highend pcs.
Concerning sliders they will be adding, I have to wonder if we consider sliders like a color wheel? If we can change skin tones or makeup with sliders (tones/shades etc) isn't that the same as something like a color wheel? I hope they don't stop there and finally add these 'sliders' to everything like a full operating CASt. But it's a shame it took total outrage and sometimes bullying to get them to bring their A game. That's really sad to me. It's almost like without a political movement going on there wouldn't have been any added features such as sliders and more skintones or even sliders for makeup. Why not just listen to your core Maxis, and you wouldn't have been in such hot water with a political movement, I guess. Seems lobbying is the only thing that brings out A game. I mean six years ago I know I requested more skin tones for babies in TS4 than the lackluster three it had. But I wasn't a movement, so it didn't matter. This is my opinion, pandering isn't something I can applaud. When they had legit feedback six years ago.

Does anyone know if we will be able to change the skin color of the sims we have already without having to use cheats? Also, are they going to work a mixture of these colors into the color of baby sims (or actually toddler and up) that are born to sims?

I really don't care how we got them. Just glad we did. ?

This is basically the only piece of news I found looking forward to all year. 100 tones? Sliders? Fixes to those ashy splotchy disasters previously called dark skin? I may not even need my cc skin at this rate! I know Im going to be busy making over all my dark skin sims.

Oh man the hair colours we have are gonna look so bad after all these new skin tones >.<

Otherwise, yay!

That's a good point actually. I wonder how well the default hair colors are going to look with the new skin tones.

Any word on the green, blue, or red skintones getting an update or sliders? Am totally aware that that is not the point of the update. I am just curious because I play a lot of fantasy Sims.

ALL skin tones gets a slider. But I wouldn't expect MORE "Alien" skin tones on top of that.

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.

I never use the very light skin tones because of that issue as well. Those skins reflect light like they are made of plastic or something.
