I have just tried the game and I disabled all mods in the game. Went back in and they're 4 extra colours - none of which are the purple, blue and green alien colours.
Put various random occults into CAS, mermaid in mermaid form brings up colours, vampire in vampire form brings up colours. So in any kind of human form the colours do not show.
When I looked at aliens in alien form - all the blue, green and purple colours came up. So it must be a mod that's blocking them - but it's funny they don't show up for all humans and occults in general?
At a guess what kind of mod would effect skintones? I have a few but not skin replacements. Feet replacement, some sliders, skin overlays
Thanks for your reply
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@EmmaB86 There's a lot of things that could be responsible. Do you have any CAS mods ?
There are some issues with some colors not showing up
Not sure though, did alien colors show up on humans before ?
Need to check my game later - crinrict5 years agoHero+
So I checked my game and see the following
Human, Vampire, Mermaid
Aliens (Undisgiused)
Spellcaster
Does that differ from your game if you don't have mods ?

I'm going to check that now - I have been at work for past few days but now on holidays.
Will get back to you, thanks 🙂

I can confirm that without mods my CAS skin tones match your pictures, so it's definitely a mod or CC!?
Wish I cold narrow it down more. Going to have to try and test different mods and CC out the game.
Thank you for helping me confirm that it's a mod/cc problem and not something else.

Use the 50/50 method: http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Finding_Problem_Custom_Content Hello, I’m having the same problem. Did you find out which mod it was?
I'm having the same problem, it's weird that it only affects the aliens and nothing else. I've tried disabling mods and testing, but I have hundreds of mods now so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. But fortunately, the randomizer at the bottom still produces new skin tones which is a good workaround.
I only have one mod installed *snip* and I am having that problem.

- crinrict5 years agoHero+@Smthrs78877 Did you test without and delete the localthumbcache file ?
Yep. And it’s like the other commenter stated.
Alien; miscellaneous skintones = none; neutral skintones = none; cool skintones = none.
Mermaid; miscellaneous skin = all.
Spellcaster; miscellaneous skin = all.
Mermaid; miscellaneous skin = none.
Human: miscellaneous skin = none.
- @Smthrs78877 My issue is … even when it’s fixed, I would have to go suss out all the game aliens to correct them one by one, including NPCs that have outed themselves.
- @crinrict Yes
Alien; miscellaneous skintones = none; neutral skintones = none; cool skintones = none. - crinrict5 years agoHero+@Smthrs78877 You got still lots of custom skins though ? Did you test without those as well ?
- @EmmaB86 Trying that now. Took out 50% of my CC and the proper alien skintones are back.
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@Smthrs78877 So then you need to find the cc skin that's causing it :D
- @crinrict After testing for 2 hours straight, conclusion: The following CC caused base game skintones to not properly display:
LunarEclipse-NudeSkinsets[…]AlienEP01_DefaultOverrides.package
(and)
LunarEclipse-ymTattoo[…]CASTexturePack_ALIENSET.package
Additionally, Melanin Pack 1 & 2 CC are defaulting for aliens not just humans, but the options don’t disappear from CAS with “Melanin Pack” - MayaRose11385 years agoSeasoned Ace
I don’t have any cas mods to do with skin/eyes, etc, and yet I’m still missing half the misc skin tones for aliens. My alien has purple skin and so does her eldest daughter, but the skin doesn’t show up in cas for me to change the youngest to that skin tone. Anyone got a suggestion as to why?

Also, in addition to that, all the new babies show up as very dark brown skins in the relationship box and family portraits, no matter what their parentage. The only cas parts I have - I’d forgotten this above - are some coloured hairs to allow my sim children and toddlers to have coloured hair (ie. blue, pink).
- crinrict5 years agoHero+@MayaRose1138 There are skin tones missing: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-GTW-Alien-skin-tone-missing-after-newest-update/td-p/9830460 but not as extreme as on the pictures of this thread.
The other issue sounds like this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Baby-icon-household-picture-different-colour-than-Sim/td-p/9983440 I'm having the same issue and also have these mods. I'm going to take them out and hopefully that will fix my issue!
So I noticed your file was named LunarEclipse-NudeSkinsets[…]AlienEP01_DefaultOverrides. Anything that says DefaultOverride or similar will overwrite the games default version of said content. Most creators will give you a default and non-default option. If you chose the non-default it won't override anything just add to it.
