SimGuryLyndsey Addresses Skintones

Iterating? Deep diving into the full pipeline? Tracing assets?

Golly, that sure sounds serious. I hope they don’t break a sweat. I normally wouldn’t make a remark but when she said they’d be diving into the full pipeline ... man, that’s impressive.

Imo I would rather they focus and improve other things that are currently lacking such as traits/personality system & what not. There’s just too much diversity in the world that you won’t be able to get perfect in any game & that’s just the truth. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try but at the same time you can’t expect to make the perfect “you” especially if there are other aspects that are currently lacking . But I guess if you demand enough you will surely get what you want . But why haven’t we been able to get the things most of us have been asking since the beginning ? Guess it’s only a one way street Eh?

Anyway. I a little scared that they will add just several warm dark skintones ant it will be all.

I want to see new swatches like this for example:

Great, hopefully they will add some good looking skin tones and improve the existing ones.

I don't understand why they don't do things like this more often, this will give them way more positive feedback than a TV show. And probably cost them less.

hopefully they add

• ashy hair colors

especially id like to have ash browns (dark and light) and ashy blondes (dark and light) because those would help me represent my own familys natural haircolors and its a bummer i just have super dark brown or reddish brown or yellow or strawberry blonde or that one blonde that sort of works but is still too yellowy

• brown tinted black and true black haircolors for those are essential for creating poc sims

• skintones especially darker and more vibrant tones such as were found in xmiramiras melanin pack for example

but also I wouldn't mind couple more cool toned super light skintones if there is room to add cause there is really like one i can use rest is too warm too tan too red

Oh feck. Due to the device I’m on at the moment, I accidentally deleted my post about how my personality isn’t properly represented in game. It doesn’t matter :s.
All I can say is that it proves that Maxis was right and I was wrong...

Hopefully this will mean no more green splotches

I also hope whatever update this comes in doesn’t muck up something else that will take forever to correct

Have you checked off the "uncompressed sim textures" in the options? I had your issue and it went away with that simple box tick.

I’m looking forward to the changes :D

It is great to hear they are working on it. I hope we get more variety.

Nice. I hope we are getting more soft pale tones too, most of them are reddish pink or yellowish. There are many white international cultures who don't have proper skin tones in the game either. If they're going to do it, do it big and do it right so they won't have to do it again.

I'm especially glad to hear that they will be fixing the current darker skin tones because those have gone ignored for far too long. I look forward to my Sims looking as smooth and as gorgeous as their paler counterparts. <3

I completely agree. I always use the same two pale skin tones for my pale sims so I really hope the pale skin tones get some attention as well. I would appreciate any skintone improvement, both on light and dark skin tones.

I am also looking forward to most hair colours. More brown tones or dark blonde are very welcome.

In a perfect scenario toddlers and children should get the unnatural hair colors as well so my pink haired mermaid can pass on her hair colour to her children. In a game where unnatural skin tones are genetic, hairs should be as well. But I don't think we will be that lucky. Besides an update for the realistic choices are more needed.

I'm guessing they will ignore basic shades of blond and brown hair even though they are pretending to be inclusive with representation in this upcoming patch. Now will people with dirty blond hair or dark and light brown hair feel the inclusiveness of the Sims team I should not have to turn to cc for something so basic because the game only offers light blond medium brown and a reddish brown.

Also can we get some pale skin tones that don't look like corpses that would also be great.
