Some intrepid Sims modders have taken it upon themselves to add shades or make “skinblends,” which reshade the existing ones to be more flattering.Īdds around fifty brown skin tones-and a few paler ones too. If you’re not desperately searching for the perfect shade of brown, you might still find yourself out of luck when it comes to pale skin tones, which have some funky undertones. There’s not a lot of options, especially in the darker end of the spectrum, even though EA added more dark skin tones last year. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the skintones in The Sims 4 kinda suck. None of the mods I have listed here conflict with one another, so feel free to install them all simultaneously. It’s quite easy to install Sims mods-just download these files and put them into the empty “Mods” folder in the game’s directory, which EA has helpfully placed there already for all you aspiring modders. Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get to the mods. “Non-default” puts the mod into other categories, usually somewhere in the accessories or skin details, so you can mix and match. You can only have one default mod in each category. “Default” mods, which you’ll see for eyes and skin tones, replace the game’s default options. “Mesh required” means that the mod you’re downloading is either a retexture or a recolor of another Simmer’s 3D model, which means that you’ll also need to download that model and put it in your game. Here’s a primer: “BGC” stands for “base game compatible,” meaning you don’t have to own anything other than the base game to use the mod. A Quick Word About Simmer Terms: Sims modders use some terminology that makes perfect sense if you’re enmeshed in the community, but not as much sense if you aren’t.
