At first I was very happy for the larger variety of skin tones, but after making a few POC families (ok like 20+ lol) - when I went to creating white families and found myself using the same 2 maybe 3 white skin tones (basically the same 3 I used before the patch) that don't make your sims look like Simpson characters (sims...simpsons? hmm....) and this hasn't changed since the skintone patch.
Like why not update white skin tones too because they SERIOUSLY needed it. I'm not saying we needed 20 new white skintones - I'm saying they should have improved on their ORIGINAL white tones (and no adding sliders isn't a "fix" if the tone is just bad to look at) - because honestly does ANYBODY make their sims look like characters from the simpsons?
I'm just wondering if I'm the only person that finds myself still using the same 3 skintones (with sliders) pre skintone patch?
Also like after making 20+ POC families which is about 30-40 sims in itself and EVEN for them I found myself cherry picking from like 5-6 skintones because the rest just made them look weird. Like did we really need 10 new skintones that are grey or variations of? There just seems to be a LOT of new skintones that still don't look natural overall.
I feel they should have been more selective and created more realistic colors for skintones aka quality over quantity.
Anybody else feel the same?

The highly saturated hair-hues make some of the skin tones appear duller, whereas if there were additional hair colours with hue & brightness options similar to the skin tone sliders, I believe it will improve the balance overall and both elements would look so much better together.
Right now I think there is just an imbalance between natural skin tones and natural hair colour.
Actually on that note I really wish they HAD expanded on more "alternative" colors than the ones present on the bottom. Especially for my medieval fantasy world.
But I also agree this game seriously needs a color wheel for hair now since your correct in saying u kind of have to match hair color to the skintone without the sim turning into some lego character.
Then everyone wanted "realistic" which is why the hair still doesn't match the skin. All in all yes I think we should have gotten more lighter variations as well. But it's not that big of a deal for me. I just enjoy the game regardless of my sims color

Sometimes it's worth it to poke around a bit.
(sorry for my english i hope you understand)
I like the Warm category but I haven't found any in the other two categories that work for me yet.
true, I hope they'll add hair color sliders + more hair colors soon too.
But you do understand black skintones were the only one with random weird red patches. At least the other tones were uniformed.
Deli provides some nice constructive feedback about the update. Only thing I don't agree on is the new menu page because it helps a lot with preventing headaches now:

What i see is that i select one skin tone, use the slider i can get the exact same skin tone from 3 blocks either side on their default making those additional choices in between absolutely pointless to have. Not sure what is accomplished by that. it would of been more helpful if the skin tones were just different enough from each other to cover the ground between with the sliders instead, meaning a few less extras.
