Re: Sims don‘t get a tan (Island living)

@AL40491 Are you using any custom skin tones ? If so, did you check for updates ?

    @crinrict I haven’t added any custom skins for over a year, which is longer then the pack has been out so that can’t be it.

    It sounds logical but you forgot one thing. In the meantime, there were a lot of game patches and after each patch, some CC will be corrupted and will no longer be compatible with the game.
    If you wouldn't be done any updates to the game, this tan would still work. Remove all skins from the mods folder and test one by one to find which one is broken.

    @AL40491 Does that mean you don't have ANY at all or just that you didn't add any new ones ?

    Old ones can get outdated with patches, especially if something essentially skin changing like tan happens.

    So, if you're using any that are pre-IL patch, they are likely to no longer work with the game and you need to remove them and get updated ones.

    @crinrict Most of my Sims aren’t even wearing custom skins, so I really don’t think it has anything to do with them.

    My tanning worked just last week. Two of my Sims moved to the beach go to school part time. It was so cute. One gal had red hair and she got a great tan. After the update, I could not get it to work. I am so bummed. I didn't change anything in my game. It just worked. 🤔

    @Cher151 Are you using custom skins or custom content at all ? Patches can always outdate those, potentially leaving stuff that worked before not working.

    Yes, I do have a mod that isn't updated. I was shocked the tanning worked at all  2 weeks ago since I have a few mods & CC. I'll try to update them. Thanks!
