sims 4 how to make custom skin tones genetic

Pictured above (and in the archive) you can see previews from a standard basegame skin settings and with Kijiko’s skin overhaul.

They can also be a base for custom overlay skins that you find in the face detail sections. 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 are found by default with Maxis skin colours and act as such.

These are not new skins, they are new skin colours.

I came away knowing more about the game and some awesome new colours that don’t look jaundice or ashy. I could not be more happy with my first, and possibly last foray into the world of TS4 skins. After a bit of research, diving into the clientfullbuild 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. There is a serious lack of dark skin colours, and the light ones have left a lot to be desired. Today I bring you an experiment that came about from the selection of skin colours available in TS4.

The skintones in the game, S1 (light) through S4 (dark) have genetic values assigned to them.The Other Side - 10 New Skintones for Dark and Light Complexions These values work on a 'blend' system, so that a sim that has S1 skin can breed with a sim with S4 skin and have a child that falls anywhere in the range (including tan or medium, as well as the extremes, light and dark). This same system works for default replacement skins, which just change the appearance of the skins but not the genetic data.Ĭustom skintones, by default, do not have the same range of genetic values. Instead, custom skin is dominant: if one sim has custom skin and the other has any shade of Maxis skin, the custom skin will always be dominant, and their children will always have the custom skintone. If two sims with custom skin breed, then there is a 50/50 chance of the child getting one or the other custom skin of the parent. Unlike normal custom skintones which do not have special genetic values, Geneticized Skintones have been modified to add values similar to how the default skintones work - using the 'blend' system. In this way, you can increase the range of skin values your sims can have - you can have extra-pale, extra-dark, and more intermediate shades as well, and all the genetics will work happily together. If you download a nice expanded set of Genetic Skins that are well thought out, you can increase the genetic diversity in your game. Geneticized Skins are considered part of the 'pool' of possible skins for babies.
