Some creators made "pale" versions of the light skin tone and made them available for use by others. True custom skin tones aren't possible, but variations of the basic skin tones are, as long as they're named so that the game engine "sees" them as light, medium, or dark tones. However, if a Sim appears to be wearing accessories such as glasses, it is usually because they are painted onto the Sim's head or body skin. Some skins have accessories such as hats and glasses, which have separate BMP and mesh files. For example, a skin might have white hands so a Sim using it will appear to be wearing white gloves. A Sim's hands normally match the Sim's skin tone, though it is possible for a skin to have custom hands. Originally, the default formal outfits used formal hands, but these hands were not used after Hot Date. However, a Sim's hands are separate hands are not part of body skins, but are defined separately in the Sim's character file. Each image file is that Sim's entire body or head, including skin (there are 3 skin tones - light, medium and dark - and it is common for the same outfit to be made in all 3 tones) and hair. Both are simple 256 color (8-bit) bitmap images, numbered to correspond with the mesh file which gives them the desired shape on the Sim. Upgrading and adding to the other makeup pieces from Melanin Pack 1.Skins in The Sims are comprised of two parts per Sim: a head and a body. I will also be taking time to build on what I’ve already done. Now popular simmers have no damn excuse to NOT make black sims (unless their lying asses just don’t want to.) Post your sims with the hashtags #xmiramira & #saynotoashysims so I can see! The makeup shows up under the same thumbnail as before.

I will also be releasing a video with more makeup this week that I have found look really great with these tones, as well as how you can navigate the makeup in this pack! Same as before, the shade you click on may not exactly match the color box. They have been updated with more shades and with different opacity and named properly as well. You will have to delete the makeup files in your mods folder named “blush” and “concealer”. This skin tone pack is compatible with all skin overlays and details. You can decide to delete or not to delete the first skin pack its up to you. If you were able to snag the test file for Melanin Pack 2, delete it and replace it with this. You can find these non default tones under the skin tones tab. Hopefully with time I can improve and add more as time progresses. I spent more time looking into undertones and quality improvement.
