Townies generate with unnatural shades of skin/pear bodies

Ever since we got the update for skintones, so many townies started generating with the most unnatural shades of skin I've ever seen. I truly don't think in real life such people exist to be a literal bleach white tone, but even real life aside, the repetitiveness of the same few pink shades being used has got to be some kind of bug. I want to see diverse and lively sims, but not random and with no life. Maxis should simply limit the amount of skins sims can generate with to avoid having such huge color differences, because maxis did include a lot of unnatural looking shades in general which could be improved upon. 

Bodies as well come in presets, which is great for customization, but the game cannot do randomization well if it's not limited to some degree. I really suggest maxis disable the other body types

 

There's a great mod by SimplyAnjuta that disables a lot of the more unrealistic shades for auto generation without disabling the option to pick them, same for body types.

I hope this doesn't come off offensive, tried to word as best I can since English isn't my first language, so if there's things I can reword please let me know, thank you!

    Hi StephanLunar 

    Could you please split this up as the accessory is a long standing issue that already has a thread in the archived forum: [OPEN] Generated NPCs wearing hats /socks/accessories on all clothes | EA Forums - 11469506 

    Best if if you could edit this one to make it about the bodies form/skin only

    You can make a new for the other issue. It's not necessary to re-report the other as that is still open anyways. Nothing can be added but it's also not necessary unless you have new info.

    Thanks.

  • Now that you mention this, i actually have noticed that... extremely with NPC sims like the maid, gardener and nannies. They always have this skin tone as you have described.
