Has anyone figured out a way to add non-default skin tones to the game? I don't mean as an overlay via tattoos or details, but an actual additional skin tone. I haven't seen anything on this yet, and am wondering if anyone has made any progress in this area.

EDIT: OK, so I've made some definite progress, but seem to have hit a brick wall. I am able to clone one of the TONE files (type: 0x0354796A), and figured out where it points to the skintone textures. So, I can clone the textures, edit them, and update the TONE file to point to the new textures. I can even edit the color of the new swatch and change the swatch's position within the list of skintones in CAS.

And it looks great... IN CAS... When I go to use it in game, the sims' skin is pitch black. And when I try to edit the sim via testingcheats and enable full cas, when I look at the skintone, none of them are selected. It's as if once it goes into the game, it's not using any skintone at all.

@SimGuruModSquad: Why would the new skintone look great in CAS but not even show up at all in game? And, might there be any possibility of getting a template for the TONE files?

Thanks in advance...
