I finally updated and have mixed feelings about the update. For the dark skintones it is a good improvement and I am happy about that part. When it comes to the lighter skin tones, there are some problems. The warm ones are OK because those were the old ones. The neutral are tolerable but they are hidden behind horrible swatches. Who ever choose those swatches? Looks to me like they just batch converted swatches and didn't care that the lighter ones would all look grey. the lighter skin tones in the cool section are so drained from colour that these sims look ill or freezing. The sliders can help a little bit, but they can't make the cool skintones look acceptable.
We were coming from a situation with ok light skin tones and poor ashy dark skintones to a situation with good dark skin tones but lots of bad light skintones, enough to outnumber the good looking ones. Why could they not improve all skintones and give all of them the attention they needed. Or just add the dark skintones that people needed without adding rubbish light ones at the same time.
Luckily the original light skintones are still in there. But I just don't understand how those light skintones in the cool section were ever considered to have enough quality to be added to the game. I won't touch them for my sims, at least they didn't remove the old ones. But I am afraid to see light skinned sims created by the game after this update.
