Hello! Since the Island Living patch came out, there's a problem with custom skintones that use overlays. In the darker skin colors especially the overlays now seem to be causing an ugly splotchiness on the skin and my guess is that the method of blending them with the skin textures has changed. I know you don't directly support custom content but if this could be looked at for a future patch that would be very helpful - some skintone creators use the overlays for gender and age-dependent tweaks since they're the only way to apply skintone textures to selected ages/genders.
Thanks!

The only encounters with spotty skin tones that I had were with compressed textures and the only solution was to save them uncompressed (and huge sizewise). I assume this is a different problem since I'm sure you would mention compression issues, so I'm curious what's happening now.
I know your tools, specifically the skintone tool, saves textures compressed. May I suggest an uncompressed option be included in the future?
Edit: The above about uncompressed textures only applies to the main skin textures - for overlays Skininator has always used only one RLE2 texture. As I recall testing indicated the uncompressed overlay textures aren't used. I just tested whether including an uncompressed overlay texture made a difference and it doesn't seem to. In fact, when I tried including only an uncompressed overlay texture I got the checkerboard and question mark missing texture effect both in CAS and in game.
