OK, Lets Discuss A Topic That Has Been Something That Has Been On My Mind In Recent Days. Recently @grimcookies

OK, Lets Discuss a topic that has been something that has been on my mind in recent days. Recently @grimcookies made an intriguing and informative video on the darker skin-tones and how they need to be fixed and how makeup doesn’t look as good on darker skin tones in the game. I suggest watching that video for a bit more insight.

The sad truth is, The Sims darker skin-tones aren’t made very well. They look very ashy and have no vibrancy. When the sims game initially came out in 2014, The game had little to no range for darker-skinned people, and the shades that they did have were very bad. In February of 2018, The Sims added a few more darker shades which brought the total to 10 medium to dark shades.

Those additional shades that they added, on the four darkest shades, a small patch of discoloration surrounds the nose. The existing makeup in the game also doesn’t look quite right on those new tones. For instance, adding lipstick creates an out of place line around the edges of a Sims’ lips.

Representation matters! We deserve to accurately show and represent ourselves. This game has shown growth in many areas but we still have a long way to go. It has been 6 years since the release of this game and we are still waiting for more representation. We shouldn’t have to rely on CC to get the representation that we deserve. For a game that prides itself on inclusivity I think that there should be a color-wheel for the sims skin-tones. There already is a color wheel for PETS in the game and I think that Sims should have the ability to do so as well. I want to start a petition to get more skins-tones that accurately represent us and our diversity. If you want to sign you can click HERE

But until then, here are some links that could be helpful If you are looking for accurate representation for your sims:

Stuck on You Skin-Tones

@siminspring

B-Natural Medium Dark, Phenomenal Warm, Phenomenal Cool

@disorganaized

Cloud Skin Tones, Cumulus Skin Tones

I hope those links help people. It is hard enough that as black people we don’t get accurately represented in the media. But this game is a LIFE simulation and I think we should be able to represent our life in an accurate way. If you want to sign the petition for a color-wheel/ more skin-tones please click HERE! We can be the change we want to see! 

MILO BY QWERTYSIMS

Here’s another hair that I’ve been holding onto for 5,000 years. You can barely see it in this preview but I’m really proud of how I did the scalp on this b*tch it took a long time to get right. It’s pretty high poly (20k yikes) but I didn’t want to make the braids all low poly & chunky.

Linen Henley for the Sims 4

Hey Everyone!

I think you’ll be surprised, but I’m kind of playing the game lately. Not in Build Mode as usual, but in Live Mode! It’s… not that bad, but I know it won’t last unfortunately (I already have the feeling I saw most of the last EP content…). 

Anyway, I also found the motivation to create this top, with 25 color options, I hope you will like it!

By the way, do you know if there is still people creating CAS poses for guys ? It’s really useful to create previews like this (that’s the part I hate the most when creating new custom content), but I always use the same ones, as there are only a few options.

Basic Turtleneck for the Sims 4

Because I needed an untucked version of the turtleneck from Cats &Dogs, I created this (you don’t need the EP to use it) ! I choose to make rolled up sleeves, as it’s how I usually wear all my sweaters, so it works with watches and bracelets.You can also use necklaces with it, most of them look fine on this top.

Available for teen to elder men, with 30 color options.I didn’t exactly use my usual Nuances color palette,  but you can find it here.

As COVID-19 continues to take hold of New York & beyond, our local hospitals are struggling & running short on medical & protective gear. As a result, many members of my community have come together to try to fabricate gear to be used, but do not have the necessary funding to keep going. If anyone can spare some time to donate, reblog, or more, it’d be greatly appreciated!
