Broken/Updated Mods & CC: Skin Tones, Dec. 2020

NOTE This thread is no longer maintained. It is superseded by https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/986225/broken-mods-cc-fear-update-paranormal-sp-jan-21/p1?new=1

This topic is for collecting reports on mod and custom content (CC) status after the December 7, 2020, skin tones patch. Please keep discussion to reports. Thanks!

GAME-RATED CONTENT ONLY: Mods that breaks the T game rating cannot be discussed in these official forums and will not be included in my list. Do not ask about or report on any of them here — it’s against forum rules. There are other places on the internet where things like that can be discussed.

REPORTING BROKEN MODS: Before reporting a mod or CC is broken, test it:

Back up your saves in case you save over a favorite file while you’re testing.

Remove everything from your Mods folder except the mod being tested and, if you’re looking for a last exception (LE) to be generated, TwistedMexi’s Better Exceptions and/or the core MC Command Center files.

Delete the localthumbcache file.

Open your game and test to see if the mod is doing what it should. If it’s still broken, please let me know! Include how it’s broken, if possible, and let the creator know too.

FIND ME ON DISCORD: If you prefer Discord for real-time notifications, I post broken/update info for mods and CC and new bugfix (and similar) mods on Discord on this non-NSFW/T-rated server, which is otherwise primarily for creators and which also gets non-NSFW mod news from Deaderpool's server: Creator Musings: https://discord.gg/qxz5Kn5 . Unlike here, there I also post updates that are for new mod features or other improvements, including updates to non-broken CC. Creators can also post there directly.

(Update) The Melanin packs show up on the sims, but don't show up as swatches, so sims that already have the tones will still have them, but they can't be changed or replicated. You also can't change them to different tones in the pack, as you may have before. So as long as the packages are in your game, they'll show up on the sims they've been placed on. But they can only be changed to the ea swatches.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this: I'm using CC makeup and the slider works for opacity! I thought that was pretty neat since I wasn't expecting any of it to work. :smile:

@FatTribble23 Most default skins still work, as far as I know. Which one are you using?

I apologize if sounds like I'm having an anxiety attack while reading and writing this.

I haven't added any CC in yet. Because I didn't trust EA to somehow do something without mess up the CC we have. However, I've been slowly adding in the mods I use the most paying attention to this post to see which mods are doing fine and are ok to add in yet. Thank you, everybody, for sharing broken CC and Broken mods. It's greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

I wonder if Sims 4 Studio has plans on fixing the custom skintones. I for one am thankful and grateful to all the modders and CC Creators out there. Thank you very much.

@drakharis

You don't sound like you have anxiety just caution. I feel the same way. I never update right away and I'm concerned over the skins I have. Most of my Sims are black but i have many ethnicities in my game as reflects my real life family. I'm happy ppl who don't use cc have better options. And I would love to use the new skins for any new Sims I make. Just back up your saves and tray before patching and just keep an eye on things. Happy Simming.
