This set of default skintone overrides fixes textureless anatomy issues.

WHY ARE BODY PARTS SHOWING UP BLACK IN MY GAME?
A sim's body is made up of several parts: 3D meshes; black-and-white skin textures that add detail; and skintones, which are color maps that add color to the skin texture.

In order to keep anatomy textures from overlapping with body textures, most CC creators utilize 'overflow' spaces that are unused by a sim's naked body. Unfortunately, lots of the game's default skintones don't cover that overflow space - so where you should see texture and color, you see a blank, black body part instead!

These skintone fixes add color to the overflow space so anatomy shows up correctly.

FEATURES & DETAILS
1) Includes fixes for all of the game's skintones in one file.
I've eliminated the need for separate package files for DLC skintones while keeping file size manageable.
2) Overrides no longer appear as custom content.
I've eliminated an issue that was causing skintones to show up as custom content. Skintone swatches now appear without a CC wrench icon over the thumbnail.
3) Optimized for use with SimpleGens 2.0 anatomy. Skintone fixes are compatible with new SimpleGens 2.0 files, but still work with older SimpleGens/RealGens anatomy.
4) Works for male and female sims.

INSTALLATION NOTES:
Files included are separated by folder into required, recommended, and optional. If you have previous skintone fix files from me, you can safely delete ALL of them and use the file in this post.

The previous default skin tones had three files, base game, Get to Work and Island Living, does this one replace them all?

I would love an overlay version of this.

Hey! I'm not entirely sure how an overlay version of this would work - the game's skintones are set up a specific way and I don't know if skintones can even be added as an overlay because the colors might not interact with the skin the way they do from the skintone panel. Unless you're talking about an overlay version of my default skin replacements?

Sorry for the silly question. If I have a default skin replacement from another content creator, would the default replacement skintones from you cause a conflict? Do I need to use only 1 file? Thank you

simdulgence

Hey! If you're using a skin texture replacement from another creator, that should work fine with my skintone replacements. They affect different files. If any CC default skins you use mention that they're also affecting the skintones, that would cause a conflict (the game would read whichever is first in your mods folder alphabetically and ignore the other file). But most CC default skins don't do anything with the skintones at all. Let me know if you need any other help with this!
