    I agree. We need more skin tones, or better yet a color wheel in cas. I like Lilsimsie but I kinda wish she had used her platform for something else than naming the cowplants. Even though it's nice that we can name them now.

    IF they don't bother to listen to Plumbella but have the audacity to listen to Lilsimsie's dumb request...I'm throwing my computer out the window.

    At first, I had no idea that the cowplant thing was requested by Lilsimsie, but I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I found out. It's such a pointless feature.

    I really hope they listen to Plumbella too, because they don't seem to be listening to any of us.

    Yep. When I first saw it I assumed it was because of bad graphics of my old laptop, but when it was like that in my new machine too, I was very dissapointed. It does not look that bad if not zoomed so close, but now than I KNOW it is like that, I see (or think I see) it, no matter how far the pic is taken :)

    my dilemma is i really think we need more skintones too for the sake of diversity

    but at the same time i wish they keep the old swatches as option too if they do slider

    because i remember with ts3 sliders i could never get the tone i wanted it always looked wrong like green or yellowy or blue or tan or red or whatever and with ts4 its like click and done for me

    +also just cause i just feel like the swatched tones look more detailed with undertones and such than what we had with slider

    I think it only looks like that when compression is on. Turning it off should fix that, I believe.

    Still, we need way more shades. My kid introduced the game to a friend and the first thing she said was that she couldn't find her skin tone.

    Adding the ability to name cow plants was very easy and more than just lilsimsie asked for it. You could name your bike and wall of meat but not your cow plant.

    I hope they will add more skin tones, and soon, but I realize that takes a bit more time.

    I think they're already working on improved skin tones, personality, and relationships. Just like toddlers were being worked on the entire time the community was complaining and boycotting and petitioning.

    Lots of black Simmers, even black Game Changers, have been posting videos and commentary about this for years. I’m glad others have joined in, and hopefully it happens soon. But then it would be kind of sad that brown voices weren’t heard without support of the more peach-huetubers.

    Good video, but I doubt Maxis will ever do something about it.

    I agree :/, esp since poc gamechangers like xmiramira have been asking for it for a while - it's not like they're small names or anything in the sims community. If doing a slider was impossible, it would be nice at least to see her melanin swatches make it into the game, esp for console players who can't get cc- apparently she's down for a collab even. Would also like improved olive/dark olive swatches (not sure if her pack covers them, as I haven't installed it), as the current offering is kinda jaundice...

    Other than skin tones, definitely would like to see more base game natural hair + baby hair on the diversity side of things, and increased swatches for eyes/hair overall.

    and rightly so...

    I'm glad more people are speaking up, but I do think they've been working on it. It's likely a huge a task since it wasn't base game, especially if they want to fix it with a colour wheel or sliders instead of just adding more swatches. To be fair, lilsimsie's little naming cowplant was likely an easy fix and that's why it did get done first.

    I'm also glad she mentioned hairs and eye colour too. A colour wheel or some sliders would just fix everything.

    I don't see why they can't add more, obviously with hair it's hard as they'd have to change 500 different hairstyles and their swatches but skin tones is just the same for all sims, it really isn't that hard to just up the brightness, down the shadows on the existing skin files to create more skin tones. Even a colour slider wouldn't be that complex to add for skins.

    The existing dark swatches are really weird toned, for some reason they're either weirdly purple toned or weirdly red toned. The pale ones aren't much better either to be honest. Half of them are weirdly yellow toned and the tan skin tones are severely lacking.

    They managed to add tons of new skin tones with the Island Living tanning and tons of CC creators have done it so it really isn't that hard.

    So, since they've listened to lilsimsie before, we know there's a chance now.

    I love Plumbella, but Xmiramira and others have been trying to point this out for years now.

    Can we get more black hairstyles while we're at it? I mean CCs got me covered but for people who havent found some good ones yet or dont use CC are at a loss
    The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5

    The say all the time they cannot comment on future content. So that doesn’t surprise me, I think they will update skin tones sooner rather than later, but they aren’t likely to say anything until they’re ready to execute it.

    I honestly think that excuse **not being able to comment on future content** a loud of bull...
