Means I can finally remove the extra CC darker tones from my game with the ones they bRought. Been wanting some inbetween tones that just didn't go from a midtone to just really dark. Hope they consider adding at least two or three lighter skintones as more skintones are always appreciated. I actually found a lot of use for the hairstyle for women and men. Looks great on men with a hat. Put it on with one of my male sims without a hat and he looked like he got a fantastic perm. Reminds me of the 'Soul-Glo' commercial honestly.
@lukeaha Perhaps restart origin and see if that works that and see if repairing your game helps at all.
I don’t mind having darker skintones in the game. And I’m happy for those that have requested them and that now can properly create themselves in the sims.
However, I still can’t since my skin is much paler than any of the lightest shades available.
My skin is also not sickly yellow.
Sometimes, striving for diversity makes you forget that diversity is about including all of the skintone ranges, not only the dark ones.
I have the same problem.
None of them quite match my skintones.
(My husband always said I "glow in the dark", lol )
I think they should have covered the shades better for everyone.
But I am not sure of any complications/issues from putting in too many skintones.
(seems simple to me, but I don't make games, so....)
But I am still glad they added more, as opposed to not.
And I the tee-shirt!
Not even one pale skin-tone has been added:(
All of the 10 new skintones are dark-medium to dark.
Oh well... that's what CC is for I guess.
That's a first in video game history, most things cater to paler people. I'm glad my skintone is finally in a game.
Whereas my skintone isn't but I guess that's fine because i'm the wrong colour aye?
I feel a need to butt in and say that in Mass Effect Andromeda they did very poorly in that none of the custom character skintones were anything paler than a slightly tanned white guy xD
I just tried to update my Sims 4 game, but it couldn’t. This is the first time I experience this with my Sims 4. Am I the only one experiencing this with this update?
Hello
Try logging out of Origin, shut down your computer completely, then restart the computer. Log into Origin, and see if you can update now.
Everyone getting too upset about their skin tone not being represented should probably think about whether this patch may have included the addition of more dark skin tones due the upcoming GP, as already stated in this thread.
After seeing all the wonderful styling here I'm all excited to try the new hair, I'm especially impressed by @Netzspannung: wonderful sims! Also @Todiloo: love the male with the hat! The shirt will be cute for gamers, yas.
I was talking with @kalaksed about the patch and he pointed out that the new skin tones were probably created for the upcoming game pack, which makes sense. That's why they cover all the missing darker tones, created for the new townies in Selvadorada. ...makes me wonder if the red glitch on the nose is accidentally stayed bug-bite or something if they tested things together.
Perhaps future packs will add more shades of white skin tones.

Tbf they could've added paler skintones for GT, then they also could've added the darker skintones for CL too.

My comment was not about fairness. I am not "defending" the addition of anything, I just think it is a reasonable explanation considering the upcoming GP. I hope for people who are upset that they will add more light shades some day. Personally, I do not need them, I don't even use the first 3 skin tones as I find them too pale.
I don’t know how to comment on someone’s comment, but by what I can see I can tag you by using @, so this I am trying. :)
@rosemow and @LadyKyn I have now tried to both log in and out of origin, and closed down and restarted my computer. And I think the update has now been done. So far, so good! I have also tried to repair my game, and then an error came, and I think it is a downloadning error. But I am not sure what that is supposed to mean. Maybe it is my origin that is the fault? I will try to start it again tomorrow and hope for it to work. Otherwise I will maybe have to wait for the next origin or sims update..? Anyways, I am very thankfull that both of you answered my frustration! I had not expected any answers, so I really appreciate it! :D
I'm pretty pale, and my skin tone isn't in the game. I'm not overly upset, as we really needed darker skin tones more. I'd like to see my skin tone obviously, but there are other things I'd like to see first like more hair colors or curlier hair.
I am ecstatic to have these darker skin tones added to the game. They were so needed. I hope they are able to fix the discolorations on them quickly. Thank you very much EA. I appreciate your hard work.

This ^^^ I for one am definitely happy to have the addition of skin tones, particularly darker skin tones, as the were IMO extremely lacking in the game. @Netzspannung , that one sim lady of yours is so very adorable. She is rocking that hairstyle well. Thank you EA/Maxis
I get that people want to feel represented too, especially in a game based so much on customization, but I doubt it was an accident that EA added the darker skin tones during February, even if it is for the new GP. As a very pale person, I think we should be happy for the new customization options instead of immediately complaining that they weren't for making sims that look exactly like you (or me). Like Mika pointed out, you don't see a lot of dark skinned options or characters in general, so it's something to be happy about, I think. I'm excited to make more characters now, and try out the new hair.

I’m really happy about the new skin tones! Yes, some are patchy, but I’m sure they will fix it in an upcoming patch. I am all about customization, so more skin tones the better. I’m hopeful that they will add a few pale shades in the future, since my skin color is not in the game, but if not, I’m not going to complain about not getting FREE content. I don’t understand the drama on Twitter and tumblr. I feel the the sims 4 has become the most diverse sims game yet...from the trans update, adding different textured hairstyles, and to bringing foreign cultures in updates and in city living. I mean I feel that they are trying their best to be more inclusive?
I'm really happy about the new skin tones, finely more diversity ^^
I just wish that they also gave us new hair colour in the future ( i would love a lighter brown, or a darker blond )

Omg make the hair brown, then apply an Irish accent and multiple profanities, and you have Mrs Brown.
