https://simscommunity.info/2020/09/23/the-sims-4-is-getting-new-skin-tones-skin-tone-makeup-sliders-and-more/I just saw that on sims community. There was a post apparently leaked on an official forum.We’d get 100 new skin tones, sliders, even makeup sliders.Do you think this is true ?Sounds kinda too good to be true, but I hopeUpdate : It’s true. Yay!!.

Maybe. But I rather them focus on gameplay depth & other things then representation. That’s just me tho.

Hopefully this is true and not the same as all the other fake leaks that we have gotten recently. It's probably for the best to not expect anything until we hear more from Maxis.

It better be!If not a colour wheel, Skintone swatch presets and tone sliders are the best kind of tool to keep a lot of simmers happy. I do feel it’s genuine. After the skintone announcement I expected there would be some CAS overhaul because just adding a couple of skintones isn’t going to satisfy everyone. The demand will continue. It would be nice if hair got the same treatment...All we can do is wait for an official word. Turning on uncompressed skin textures may be a little demanding for potato machines though. I hope folks are prepared not to get what they want if their laptop cannot deal with the texture toggle. :#

I have a mac, which, gaming wise, qualifies as a « potato machine » I guess :( I’ll be very happy if we get more darker skintones and sliders. If they want to add one or two new lighter skin tones as well, I won’t say no. And of course I hope hairs will get an update too.Makeup sliders would be great too !!"CAPTAIN_NXR7;c-17670291" wrote:It better be!If not a colour wheel, Skintone swatch presets and tone sliders are the best kind of tool to keep a lot of simmers happy.

It sounds very promising. Fingers crossed that it is true.

Not necessarily. It depends on what kind of graphics card it has. Try turning the toggle on and see how it works.

Good! I hope this is true. I never understand why they got rid of the skintone slider from TS3 like that was such a bad idea. I do not want to stay in the TS2/TS4 days of only having a couple skintones. ,-, hopefully we'll have a skintone slider in TS5 as well.

This is good news, though I'm thinking that whoever is managing the websites may need a break/more support/more sleep or something...
