#SIMS 4 CUSTOM SKIN TONES GENETIC MOD#
This is where custom content and mod creators have made their mark in making overlays, mods, and custom content for the skin of sims.īelow are 25 of the top skin overlays, mods, and custom content for The Sims 4. While players are able to make their sims look any way they want, some players have found that the look of sims in The Sims 4 is too cartoonish, and they want to add some realism to the design of their sims. They can have a variety of skin colors, hair colors, and eye colors. These sims can look any way you want them to. The Sims 4 allows players to create characters known as sims. Specific shades can makes this dark when you have one tone that is redder or bluer then the ones next to it but it's better then tones lightest/darkest jumping all over the place.Īlso I'd like warm and cool tones to be dominate but when mixed together they make a neutral and neutral to be overall recessive if possible.Have you grown tired of the basic, cartoonish look of sims in The Sims 4? I want the swatches to look like scale going from lightest to darkest. I see dark shades jumping from medium dark to dark then medium dark again and then dark dark to to dark. Even when you look at the darker tones they aren't organized correctly. If I two sim parents one light and one medium the baby has a chance of turing into that dark tone just because it sit in the middle of them when in reality it should be with the other dark tones. Why is there a dark tone so early in the list? I think they did this because of specific shades but it messes up genetics when there is a "dark" tone it in the middle of the light tone. If you start from the lightest tone of either category you see the tones go from light medium to dark and then jump to a light tone done. My personally issue with the new skintones is that cool and neutral tones aren't organized correctly. Also, with blonde versus black hair, I shouldn't have so many blondes with genetics. Eyes don't match to either parent, especially the first generation, where they shouldn't have that issue. So yeah, Sims 4 does need to be fixed a bit, because if the parents of a Sim are in different skin tone categories the result is weird skin tones that aren't even close to the parents. Weirdly, though, I have had a blonde married to a redhead, and only one of their kids was a blonde, the rest were redheads. Which isn't terrible, but I feel that the majority should be black. In the Sims 4, If I have a blonde haired blue eyed sim married to a black haired brown eyed sim, I have had cases where most of the kids are blonde. In previous versions, like Sims 2, if a parent with blonde hair and blue eyes were married to a sim with Black hair and brown eyes, the kids would mostly inherit the dominant genes, like the brown eyes and hair.
Especially, being from two parents in the first generation.Īlso, back to the hair, and a bit on the eyes, some genetics aren't really passed on realistically. I can kind of see if they had a parent with occult eyes, since that is a problem with the genetics in the game, but when both eyes are normal, and the kid doesn't inherit either one, can be kind of strange. I have had parents with blues eyes, and green eyes, in the first generation, and their kid comes out with a gray, which doesn't match their parents. When I moved both parents into the warm tones category, the kids ended up getting less drastic skin tones, and actually looked like they could be a mixture of their parents.Īlso, hair and eyes can be a bit weird as well when it comes to family as well.
Before moving the mom into the same warm color slot as her husband, I got some weird skin tones that the parents wouldn't actually have, even with the darkest or lightest version of both of their tones. Father was extremely pale with blonde hair and blue eyes, with the mother being dark skinned with black hair and brown eyes.
#SIMS 4 CUSTOM SKIN TONES GENETIC UPDATE#
When the skin tone update first came out, I tested it in CAS, I had the dad in the warm tones, and the mom in the cool tones, originally for both.
