I think the tanning system is a cool idea, but it's ridiculously overpowered. My sims tan for a few hours and come out a totally different ethnicity.
It's just far too strong. I thought it could potentially be down to my CC skin, so I tried it again with no CC but still, same issue.
It needs to be heavily toned down, my sims shouldn't get
this dark from just a few hours in the sun. I think sims should get about half of the tan they currently get, at the moment I never get them to tan as it's just so severe, it should only be one or two shades different, that would be a lot better in my opinion.

They could potentially update this, and they should be able to, since we did get that 100+ skin tone update, but we'll see if they do...
There's also a mod that has to do with skin tanning and sunburn, where your sim gets sun exposure whenever they're outside in sunny weather, and can even have skin problems because of it. But I don't know if they're still updating it; Iron Seagull did a video on it a couple years ago.
Based on this pic it seems a bit strong. But I don't know if toning it down is the best option. Then tanning gets nerfed and people complain sims can't get tan enough. Would be nice if they could add stages yes. But that's just adding more complexity people will soon complain is broken. 🤷♀️
Gentlemen, from this day forward... you will all refer to me by the name... Betty... myahhahah!
It really depends on the skintone but I agree with you 70% of the time the result in my game is too extreme, still realistic, but too extreme.
That's why there are so many tanning parlours in the UK. Tans have to be sprayed on and many overdo it!
> I disagree about tanning while in the sun. I like that it is optional because I never want to see a tan on my perfect sims. I would be mad if they forced it on my sims. Many live in sulani so they would all be automatically tanned.

I agree about the optional option, they could do the same menu like they did with Eco Lifestyle settings, honestly adding an SPF's could be also perfect for Simmers that don't want their Sims to sunburn all the time but like that realistic approach... and when it comes to townies, they also should add a setting in which we can choose if we want them to tan/put SPF's or never tan. :smiley:
They should keep it to a simple holiday tan.
If we consider current result 100%
I'd say 50-70% would be fine, perhaps with some randomization or two stages. I'd also like it if it took a bit longer to get. If they could do a gradual system I'd be overjoyed.
I also wouldn't mind it too much if sims got get tans outside of deliberately sunbathing to make it more meaningful to their look and what they've been wearing when they get it. Don't make a sim get it no matter what just because they've went out but maybe if they've been out for quite a while on a particularly sunny day.
