No, I don't think we are getting more skin tones and hair colors anytime soon.

Nope. What people are asking for won't be done within the timeframe they want it.

I wish we would get more swatches for hairs and skintones...

Hair Swatches
Black: We need different undertones for black hair. The current one has a blue undertone and I think a little more neutral and darker black swatch would be a welcome change. The salt&pepper swatch is decent but it doesn't always work well for younger sims because the silver hairs can be very strong on some hairs.
Brown: The dark brown swatch is one of the best swatches in the game because it looks good with pretty much any hair. That being said, we could use some more undertones for brown. The light brown swatch looks kinda obnoxious on a lot of the hairs and I wish we would have ashier tones.
Red: I don't personally have complaints on the red side but someone else probably does.
Blonde: As someone who has naturally blonde hair, this is the category that really irks me. The swatches are awful. The ''dirty blonde'' is the only decent blonde swatch and it's not even a real dirty blonde. I have never used the cheese swatch because I hate it with a burning passion. The platinum blonde swatch looks good on very few hairs because it looks choppy on a lot of the textures. I wish we would get ashier tones for blondes. Something that resembles actually dirty blonde hair. I have the most basic blonde hair anyone can be born with and there's no way to replicate that in the Sims without custom swatches (and I don't like using custom swatches)
White&Gray: Personally, I don't mind the darker gray swatch but the lighter one I have a slight problem with. I wish we would have something a little lighter with less blue undertone.
Unnatural: I wish we would have a broader range of unnatural swatches. For example, dark purple, lighter green, pastel pink, pastel blue etc. because we're really lacking in those.


Skintones
I don't even remember what most of the swatches look like because I had to replace them with custom overrides because the dark tones had very weird textures and undertones. Some of the darker swatches are almost corpse-like because they have so ashy undertones. Skintones are probably always gonna be an issue unless they create a slider with undertone options and then a broad range from light to dark.

they have given a time frame ? they have know idea how much work this stuff takes

I'm quite used to the skin tones. They're not the perfect shade, I think literally no one can find their skin tone in the game, but they work for my sims. I would love more hair colours, but don't think we'll get any (any time soon at least).

I'd prefer they paid attention to the traits and relationships and added some depth to those.

I wish the Sims team would engage and acknowledge people's requests more. For example the cars issue could easily be cleaned up if a simguru talked about why they aren't a thing. Everyone would be happier if there was more back and forth between players and developers rather than it being a screaming match of people trying to get their voices heard

From what I’ve seen there is no timeframe.

Right now a lot of simmers supporting the movement just want the devs to acknowledge the request and take on community suggestions on how to improve the (woefully lacking) skin tones.

Some have even suggested that the team reach out to game changer Xmiramira and get her input on new skin tones, considering she’s made custom skin tone packs to extend the range of shades.

Agreed with this ^ I know there are mods that will add some depth but it would be wonderful to create SIMs with more personality straight off the proverbial bat.

Those are pretty easy to make as a custom content, they rather start petition for something more useful and gamechanging not for something trivial.

I think they're working on it but they're not saying. Like a lot of things. I think they could be a little more transparent about things they are working on though. It'd be nice to know if people are wasting their breathe or not.

I'd like to see hairs and eye colour addressed as well.
