peacemaker-ic:

Today I bring you an experiment that came about from the selection of skin colours available in TS4. There is a serious lack of dark skin colours, and the light ones have left a lot to be desired. After a bit of research, diving into the fullbuild files, lots of backwards and forwards into the game for testing, hex editing to edit the colour swatches because s4pe threw errors, I finally came up with the lightside and darkside skintones. I could not be more happy with my first, and possibly last foray into the world of TS4 skins. I came away knowing more about the game and some awesome new colours that don’t look jaundice or ashy.

These are not new skins, they are new skin colours. They are found by default with Maxis skin colours and act as such. They work with all the Maxis skin details such as muscle slider, age categories, weight sliders and are for both genders and all age groups. They can also be a base for custom overlay skins that you find in the face detail sections. Pictured above (and in the archive) you can see previews from a standard basegame skin settings and with Kijiko’s skin overhaul. Hopefully you will all find a use for these like I have in tandem with the other TS4 skin colours. A big shout-out to Snaitf for the tutorial over at Mod The Sims on uncovering the mystery of making non-default skin tones.

The skin colours feature:

  • Basegame compatibility
  • non-default
  • 5 new light skin colours
  • 5 new (desperately needed) dark skintones
  • found in light to dark order after the Maxis tones (refer to preview images)
  • available for all ages and genders (except babies because they are objects)
  • works with kijiko’s skin overhaul
  • works with custom skin overlays

These have been made to work with Game Version 1.5.139.1020 (game patch prior to GTW release). They may work with the previous game versions, but has not been tested.

The archive contains the package file and the colour preview images. Unzip the archive, and put the package file in your mods folder. They will be found under the skin colour section of CAS. I have provided a merged file containing both light and dark sets, as well as individual downloads if you don’t need one of the sets.
