but i have this alien who is light blue but if i edit his skin with new skintones i can't get the same blue only like darker or greener blue and its weird
managed to reset the changes though so he is looking like himself still
and maybe they made blushes more intense for full opacity cause i didn't use them much before update for my main sims so wouldn't notice but there is few premades that make me go "hmm was it always that intense"
don't use mods or anything too
@Simmingal Same! (Except I totally use so much CC lol) This color doesn't seem to be available any more for aliens anymore, so weird, but it still shows up if you don't change it.
Colony has been attacked.
please go on planet earth and spread your genes.
It is of utmost importance that our colony survives this tragedy.
This is his only child who was gifted with the obsolete skin tone, it will be up to her to carry on the line lol
Ah what a nice look she has I am sure she will make many beautiful children for our colony
Oddly in my game it was the turquoise skin tone that was gone. I had a light blue option, not sure if it's the same one you guys are missing. 2/3 of my aliens/mixes are turquoise and apparently that doesn't exist anymore.

This is my last surviving heir
his daughter did not inherit the gene
(really tragic) so I might have to try finding him a new match
he is little dark soul though so it will not be easy
The colony must live on. We will find a way
(Honestly I think I might pull up my alien family in a new save and age the toddler up to young adult and see if she's capable of passing on the gene)
ah yes good idea before i send my dude seduce whole world
I've just realized that isn't the problem. My full blooded adult alien has the turquoise option. I didn't see your light blue either though, so that really is gone. My problem is that my half-blooded alien toddler has the vampire skin tones available in CAS instead of the alien ones. So he doesn't have turquoise or most of the purple options, but he does have several grays that he shouldn't.

@Simmingal So this is what I have discovered - if you create an alien in create a sim and then click the randomize button, the light blue skin tone will still show up sometimes. Makes me wonder if it accidentally got left out of being selectable because it obviously is still available somewhere in the code of the game so maybe it will reappear with an update. Or it was meant to be deleted and it showing up is just a glitch
Anyway, I saved Zola (my light blue toddler) and aged her up. For my first experiment, I had her have triplets with a light purple alien and all three babies were light purple. Then I changed the father's skin to the other light blue that's still there, gave her triplets again, and they all came out with a weird human skin tone. Next I gave the father a green tone and had her have two different pregnancies, one had turquoise skin and the other had a weird human skin. Lastly, I randomized the father until he had the light blue skin and then had her have two separate pregnancies and babies and neither of them had the light blue skin, just weird human ones. These outcomes made me wonder that if I tried for enough babies in separate pregnancies if the light blue skin would eventually show up naturally since the genetics obviously weren't really working anyway lol.
Anywayyy, I aged up the babies to toddlers to double check all their skin tones, and I randomized one of them in CAS full edit mode and did get the light blue tone, so if it came down to it, you can alway cheat a little and get the skin tone that way. At least it's not completely gone from the game yet.

hmm so it seems quite rarely you'd be able to get it
I hope this gets fixed (and they don't delete the light blue cause its my fave besides green aliens)

Oh no. That is my favourite skin tone for aliens. I hope it gets fixed. I plan on updating tomorrow but after reading this I will be making an alien family before I update.
The original skintones are still there, it's just with all the new ones as well. I've been playing around with them to decide what skintones I wanted with some of my sims & found the boring pale ivory skintone & some of the regular tanned, brown & grey skintones. Most of the original skintones are in the Warm catagory & the grey skintones are in the Misolaise catagory.
How can i delete my cc skintones since they don't show up in game. I used to use Tray importer, but the way i use it i need to see in game the items that i want to delete. Is there another way?
The "old" skintones are still there on all your "old" Sims before the patch.
However, trying to reproduce that is now extremely complicated. Which is what 'everyone' wanted.

Honestly, you'll probably have to go through all your Mods folders and files to find them if you don't have them labelled into easy to find folders. However if they are not showing up at all in-game, then they're not even loading. So other than taking up a few kilobytes on your hard-drive, not doing anything. @permanentrose @Simmingal @Atreya33
Aliens? What actually happens when Human Sims are abducted by Alien Sims? "I'm beginning to think they're not from around here... I bet'cha they're English, or Canadian?"
So I just went into the game today & a few of my sims skintones were way off & I can’t seem to find which one they were using prior to the patch. Not to mention many of the makeup (mainly blush) was way off. Either too dark or too pink.

I have all the CAS items in a folder, that will not be an easy task for me. 🥴 It really annoys me having files that are corrupted or dont appear in my game stored in the folders.

I would recommend doing a search for the word “skin” in your file explorer/finder.

Yes, I also used mostly custom skin tones... They are still in the game, on the sims I previously had them on, but they are inaccessible in CAS... I hope a patch comes soon to fix this. I see no reason why this CC should just be removed like that.
I had hopes for the new skin tones, but they are disappointingly lacking in pale tones. It's either too yellow, too red or too grey, with not enough in-between ._.
I cant seem to edit my previous post, but I found this conversion tool which I used on my custom skintones and they now show up! https://modthesims.info/d/650407/ts4-skin-converter-v2-3-enable-cc-skintones-in-cas.html

Unfortunately you will just have to tweak it with the new system. I've had to do that, or just leave it as is if not a big deal. It's much more "precise" now and more "complicated" and will take more time to tweak and play around with it.
I think it does look better, but not because the colors are more vast, but mainly the textures and base meshes have been improved.
