Sometimes you just have to try out a few to find what you like though. I wouldn't want to mix EA skintones with anything that was too realistic, it would just be too different. For normal lifespan games I wouldn't bother because of said issues with genetics. The only time I use non-default skins is on sims that I plan on keeping around for a long time. I just like the increased shading and texture, plus IMO it makes everyone (even puddings) look pretty good. So here you can see the same sim, this is EA skin with EA eye.Īnd my default e-skin fresh. Two light skinned non-default skinned sims can have a baby that looks very dark because the tone ramps don't match up. Which is ok sometimes, but IMO doesn't always work out well especially if they use a different tone ramp. Keep in mind some non-default skins don't encompass all ages and genders so you might get a child that inherits the 'non-default' but it won't show until they are a YA or what have you. I'm lazy, so I don't want a bunch of EA skins, and then non-default skins on certain sims. I use a default skin (e-skin fresh) and it encompasses Male-Female, Toddler-Elder. I like that idea as I like my Sims to look different to each other. It makes it possible to have lots of different non default skins.
I'll see if I can find a link to the mod. Having so many custom non default skins I got a mod that adds extra controls to the CAS part that lets you choose which skin you want to use. I thought briefly of testing by putting them back one at a time to see which one I needed to use but decided that was going to be too much like a long and tedious exercise. The problem is I had removed a few skins and since I don't know which skin I had on him I put them all back. I have one Sim that this happened to and when I gave him a different skin in CAS he changed completely and I couldn't make his face sufficiently like his original face so I put the skin back into my mods folder. To fix that problem I either have to put the skin back into my game or give the Sim a new skin in CAS. If I later remove that skin from my mods folder the Sims with that skin are completely flat and colourless wherever the skin would appear. I add the skins to Sims when I make them in CAS or I use Master Controller to edit and existing sim in CAS to give them a new non default skin.
