I just saw that on sims community. There was a post apparently leaked on an official forum.
We’d get 100 new skin tones, sliders, even makeup sliders.
Do you think this is true ?
Sounds kinda too good to be true, but I hope
Update : It’s true. Yay!!.

If not a colour wheel, Skintone swatch presets and tone sliders are the best kind of tool to keep a lot of simmers happy.
I do feel it’s genuine. After the skintone announcement I expected there would be some CAS overhaul because just adding a couple of skintones isn’t going to satisfy everyone. The demand will continue. It would be nice if hair got the same treatment...
All we can do is wait for an official word. Turning on uncompressed skin textures may be a little demanding for potato machines though. I hope folks are prepared not to get what they want if their laptop cannot deal with the texture toggle.
I’ll be very happy if we get more darker skintones and sliders. If they want to add one or two new lighter skin tones as well, I won’t say no. And of course I hope hairs will get an update too.
Makeup sliders would be great too !!
Not necessarily. It depends on what kind of graphics card it has. Try turning the toggle on and see how it works.
I hope after this they can get to improving our sims personalities..
They said in the blog post that it was only the beginning so maybe...
EDIT: wait, do you think the sliders will apply to occult skintones too?
We all know 1 style is the base game afro.
What are your guesses for the other 3?
@bellagoth_ The thing is, it should have been done from the beginning when the game came out.
It’s great that we get a slider, we’ll now have a real variety of skintones, and more realistic ones
The hairs also needed to be updated, most basegame hairs are bad anyway, but the Afro one looks particularly bad and textureless.
exactly, they should've done it from the start, especially given how repetitive they are with the whole representation thing.
but what they should've done from the very start is to make a game well coded, that instead of hindering and limiting them to add stuff, could make it way easier. imagine all the great content we could've get if the game had a solid base.
The cauliflower fro was the first thing that came to mind. I think that one is a given, haha

Spoken like someone who's already being represented...
They can still work on the other things, too.

There is additional disclaimer that some improvement will require high settings re sim textures.
Yeah, adding 100 swatches with sliders is just going to further highlight how bad the hair color selection is unless they plan to follow it up with hair swatch additions as well.
A beautiful brown skintone and improved afro texture aren't gonna help much if the afro still looks blue instead of black.
