Re: Sims 4 skintones and makeup weird changes after first time updating since 2019

Makeup and skin color issues (much darker and less defined skin after update), happen to every sim with different blush colors
Left is original, Right is post update.
May not look significant, but bugs the hell out of me
tell me if you see the differences or is it just me and my eyes

and the overall issue with colors (screenshot by phone)

top of the screens are from windows 8.1, bottom one is windows 10

same hardware, updated nvidia driver on win 10, but same settings

Here, thanks for taking the time to look into this, i was trying to figure this out all day yesterday with little success

@ShioriHaru  The makeup may be a game issue, perhaps the result of the update that introduced a number of makeup sliders a while back.  You should be able to turn down the opacity of the blush.

The fact that the skintones look the same in screenshots strongly suggests that their appearance is not a game issue but rather a software issue on your side or on the driver/OS side.  It's certainly possible that something about the game changed under the hood, and Windows 10 handles it differently than 8.1, but the sims aren't supposed to look different, and as far as I can remember, there haven't been any similar complaints to yours from players who didn't use custom content.

There's nothing obvious in your dxdiag that would explain the issue, although it's possible your Asus software is having some effect.  You could try playing in a clean boot to see whether it helps; you may need to manually disable some Asus/Armoury processes in the Task Manager as well.

If that doesn't help, try playing around with the Nvidia Control Panel settings.  Here's a good explanation of what the settings do:

There's no harm in experimenting a bit to see what you can get.

Played with these nvidia settings, and now using windows 10's night light setting at 8 to get a somewhat better screen.
I will try and see if i can restore my blush and make my skin color slightly more pale like it was originally thank you

Asus armory did mention something about illuminating the display so i might as well try and remove it altogether from my system

Since then i experimented at work with a windows 8.1 and a windows 10 pc, both using integrated graphics and the result makes me think windows 10 sucks at displaying colors
Why nobody complains i think is because like 1% of PC users use windows 8.1. I did find a few complaints on microsoft forums, left without a solution of course.
Found complaints about the skin tone change too, but only about broken CC skins, did not find any info wether they updated the paler spectrum of the skins too, or simply added new, darker ones

Okay, using the cas.fulledit i was able to restore the skin and makeup color/transparency.
All fine and dandy with the family sims, but how safe is this method done on sims not in world, worker sims, neighbours? because literally every sim in my game has the issue
