Tanning is too strong.

I think the tanning system is a cool idea, but it's ridiculously overpowered. My sims tan for a few hours and come out a totally different ethnicity.

It's just far too strong. I thought it could potentially be down to my CC skin, so I tried it again with no CC but still, same issue.

It needs to be heavily toned down, my sims shouldn't get this dark from just a few hours in the sun. I think sims should get about half of the tan they currently get, at the moment I never get them to tan as it's just so severe, it should only be one or two shades different, that would be a lot better in my opinion.

I disagree about tanning while in the sun. I like that it is optional because I never want to see a tan on my perfect sims. I would be mad if they forced it on my sims. Many live in sulani so they would all be automatically tanned.
Based on this pic it seems a bit strong. But I don't know if toning it down is the best option. Then tanning gets nerfed and people complain sims can't get tan enough. Would be nice if they could add stages yes. But that's just adding more complexity people will soon complain is broken. ?‍♀️

I agree, I wish there were different levels of tanning. For example, if you only sunbathe for an hour, you just get a very light tan. But if you sunbathe for 5 hours, you get a dark tan. The Sims 4 tanning is too much.
They could potentially update this, and they should be able to, since we did get that 100+ skin tone update, but we'll see if they do...

There's also a mod that has to do with skin tanning and sunburn, where your sim gets sun exposure whenever they're outside in sunny weather, and can even have skin problems because of it. But I don't know if they're still updating it; Iron Seagull did a video on it a couple years ago.

For me it's completely NOT normal... there should be stages of tan and not just one simple tan and with that, the effect would be much better. I like the new system with patterns from clothing, but I feel like there should be an improvement of this system to also introduce tanning whenever you are in the sun and not just when you lie on the sunbed and like I previously stated, tanning behaviour of different skin colours... good that we have flerb, but something like this SHOULD be made by EA
