ATTENTION: OUTDATED VERSION. UPDATED DEFAULT ON MY PROFILE
THIS VERSION IS OUTDATED. PLEASE CLICK HERE INSTEAD
Hello! Sorry I disappeared for a bit, I had a summer class and didn’t have the motivation to do anything for the sims for a while.
This is a follow-up to my post here, where I preview what I was doing and why.
This download is two skinblends: one default replacement skin that covers the usual range, and one non-default skin that expands on that range into darker tones. I was fed up with how little detail was showing up on my sims with dark skin so I decided to take some time to figure out how to solve this, and I came up with what I explained in my previous post. The skins are for all ages and genders: baby to elder. Let me know if for some reason it isn’t showing up for one of those categories.
All credit goes to @sims3melancholic, @smallsimmer, @annoyinglydarkblaze, and @sketchbookpixels. Thank you all for your amazing work!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Put these in the Overrides subsection of your Mods folder. Make sure you don’t have a default replacement skin in your game already. You will need BOTH the Default Skin and the Tone Ramp Replacement files for your skin to display correctly. The other two files are non-default, but still highly recommended as they provide a wider range of skin tones.
KNOWN ISSUES:
**THIS IS AN OUTDATED VERSION. IT IS ALSO MISSING THE CHILD LIFE STAGE**
Scalp on the dark tone for default replacement/light tone for the addon has seams near the forehead. I tried my best to make it less noticeable, but with the skill and technology I currently have, this was the best I could do. I may go back and fix it later, and of course if someone more skilled wants to do it in the meantime, feel free to do so and tag me lol.
TOU:
Just follow the other creators’ TOUs. Feel free to tag me if you use these or make something with them! I’d love to see it.
DOWNLOADS:
Default Skin (titled Essence)
