However, some players have noticed that though their new Sims look pretty in CAS (Create-a-Sim mode), the graphics don’t hold up when playing the game. Now, thanks to the update, players can choose and create the perfect skin tones to add accurate representation and diversity to their games. If players wanted to make a Sim that reflected them or someone in their life with dark skin, they’d have to settle for ugly in-game skin tones or download CC skin tones that corrected both appearance and lack of color options. One of the biggest concerns of the old skin tones was how dingy, pixelated, and ashy they looked.
Players can also save the custom skin tones they create for easy access later on. The update also added color sliders to makeup so players can adjust things like saturation and opacity to match skin tones exactly. Each skin tone can be adjusted on a color slider as well, letting players find the perfect match for their vision. There are 4 color categories: warm, neutral, cool, and miscellaneous. The newest update to The Sims 4 came a day early and added over 100 different skin tones to the game. RELATED: Creative Ways to Use The New Sims 4 Platform Tool Pixelated Problems The skin tone update came in two waves: the first caused some major controversy, but the second was exactly what the community needed. Getting the help of community members like Xmiramira and EbonixSims, who had experience creating beautiful CC (Custom Content) skintones showed the team’s dedication to making sure The Sims community got the accurate representation it was lacking. It became apparent that some players, especially BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) couldn’t accurately depict what they, and others like them, look like in The Sims 4 because the dark skin tones were, put delicately, cosmetically displeasing.Īfter a rallying of online support and Simmer Xmiramira calling attention to the lack of quality dark skin tones in-game on The Sims Spark’d, The Sims Team decided to overhaul its skin tone system. The premise of the games has always been to “play with life,” but as time passed, some players found their gaming experience lacking.
The Sims franchise turned 20 at the beginning of this year, with its latest installment, The Sims 4, breaking records as its longest series to date.
