I usually don't bother to download something unless I absolutely fall in love with it. You know, the kind of things you think will really boost your gaming experience, not just the cute ones.
But I've been reading a lot about geneticized skins lately, and the idea of having more diversity was really really tempting.
I only had to choose which ones I wanted. But that was much harder than it seemed.
Because I made my mind that I could have a really dark skin now as default (at least to me, the Maxis dark skin seems rather light) and several in-between skin colors between the light and the dark one.
Nothing worked for me, because all the CC skins defaults just added the darker shades as "darker than the darkest default" and for my sturborn obssesive mind it should no be like that.
So.
I got this beautiful skintone set by PeachT, created my defaults, geneticized them and made them townie-friendly as well.
It took me a while because it was my first time doing all those things, but I must admit that the result is beautiful -and what's even better, now I have 7 different skin colores which are actually arranged the way I want them!
Now my NPCs looks like this:
I have tons of pictures of this last round in Strangetown. Seriously, tons. Of all them, even if nothing of interest happened in their house.
I also saved the loading screen pictures when I finished, so I could see all the members of the household together (to notice the subtle diferent shades in skin colors).
So this is a warning: the rest of this post is image heavy!
(To balance it, I'm gonna try to keep the text short.)
