Share your edited sims! [Skin & Makeup Patch]

@Simmingal Thanks! Yeah she is a toughie to pin down but I feel I managed to recreate her some of her essence haha! Yeah I hope they're still working on stuff and this update isn't completed yet (from the sounds of it they still want to work on it). It makes me so sad when I leave makeup and change the sims hair colour or clothes or eyes. There is still so much for this game to improve on! I'm hoping they release the cheat that unlocks locked items in CAS sometime soon! That will be so helpful.

My swatches aren't saving either - I'm hoping it is a bug with the new feature. I spent hours last night playing around with the MAC makeup and saved so many swatches only to jump in game today to find that they are all now missing! :open_mouth:

They are only per save unfortunately. I did the same too and was disappointed. Now I have to do a special save for CAS I guess.

Meet Vicki Vampiress...

I gave her a more modern, updated look for the Sims 4

Here's what she originally looked like in The Sims Makin' Magic

Omg I love her???

Eww, why? That just made that feature totally useless and irrelevant! Surely it has to be a glitch! Surely!

Morgan Fyres walked past my Sim's home while I was playing, so I decided to give her a quick make-over. I mean all the sliders are great, but the opacity slider for make-up is just so helpful for both lighter and darker skintones. Before, most of the make-up only looked good on medium skintones. Here is a before/after of Morgan. I also made her skin a bit darker and changed the shape of her eyes, because I thought it suited her better, but the make-up really makes the biggest difference.

She looks great! Honestly your subtle changes really just made her appearance so much nicer. So the Fyres family - never read much about them, but is it confirmed anywhere that Siobhan is Dominic's biological child and Morgan is Moira's biological child, since genetics do not make sense for Morgan if both parents are biologically hers. I edited my family so that both daughters had the genetics of both parents, but was curious about the Fyres family in general.

Also here is my sim Nikki looking nice after some skin tone and make up edits :)

I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing any real difference.

It’s all about the subtle differences. Sims can now have so many skin tone variations (though personally I find a great deal of them somewhat unusable but that’s another conversation haha) which is nice for when customizing genetics - you can really make a child’s skin tone look like a mix between their parents with way more variations than before. Also helps make variations for people of the same race but not related which I appreciate too. The make up sliders are super nice - may not be as noticeable to someone who didn’t create the sim themselves or if you don’t see a before picture but being able to choose blush and lipstick shades then play with hue, saturation, opacity etc really helps make up look natural and good on whatever skin tone you picked. For people who enjoy that part of CAS, I think it will be fantastic

Its actually quite dramatic. Theres a lot more posts showing that in the sims groups on facebook. Our black sims look MUCH better . There are some really warm tones that are ash-free. We who play with darker sims wanted that.

Well said! I love that I have a lot more options to choose from when making darker skin tones - it’s already making the sims world feel more diverse and real, and I love that. The sliders are nice too since the initial color swatch doesn’t always feel right.

I also have a lot of textured hair downloads so I’m loving pairing them with new skin tones. I finally feel like I have options to make diverse sims. It’s also nice they did the make up update at the same since make up needs to be customized to look right on a wide variety of skin tones
