Appreciation for the coming Skin Tones Update

I'm happy they're adding more darker tones but I'm disappointed in how there's seemingly been no improvement to pale tones, they aren't functional at present as they're literally yellow. Maybe the sliders will bring better tones but I'm not hopeful.

Also tan skin tones seem to be still very lacking aswell, looks like there's still about two which is a shame.

It just feels like to me they fixed the dark tones because of the outrage and then called it a day when there's a lot more that still needs to be done. Feels like the pale tones aren't important as it isn't a "woke" issue.


For context I turned off all my CC and here's the existing pale tones:

Yellow, unusable:

Slightly darker yellow:

This one is ok I guess, can't really fault it:

Then it goes back to yellow and tan tones.

So essentially there's one single usable pale tone in the game. One.

Exactly this though you missed the corpse grey light skin tone you only got the jaundice yellow.

No thanks here from me at this point I only find this update insulting seeing as they only fixed the darker skin tones adding 100 or so swatches while leaving the light ones as bad as it always has been.

there were all sorts of skin tones and I think we might be able to make custom tones as well look at this

I hope they expand slider for sims face as well, it's hard for me to recreate my favorite sims from the previous game using drag and pull only, if only I could have a slider for eye shape or eye apex etc.

but other than that im happy now there is more skin choice for my vampire sims.

I love them too and honestly they are really delivering good content with the sliders and all. But I'm just wondering, if they could add those features into the game, why not do it from the start? Not just the skin tones but also the sliders.

That's a good question. They should have added them from the start.

I've never played Sims 3, but I heard that its CAS was more in-depth than Sims 4. Seems like that would have carried over to Sims 4, but it didnt.

CAS in sims 3 was a PAIN to use. It was so insanely slow. I'm so much happier with TS4.
