The existing makeup in the game also doesn?t look quite right on those new tones. Those additional shades that they added, on the four darkest shades, a small patch of discoloration surrounds the nose. In February of 2018, The Sims added a few darker shades which brought the total to 10 medium to dark shades. 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. They look very ashy and have no vibrancy. The Sims’ darker skin-tones aren?t made very well. If you?re not sure what the big deal is about, we?ll let the author of the petition explain: At the time of writing, the petition for additional swatches and a colour wheel for skin tones in the Sims 4 was moving towards 80 000 signatures. The Sims 4 has a skin tones problem and there is a petition on to try and change that. While much of the focus over the last week has been around the leaked icon for the new Sims 4 game pack (and all the speculation that comes with that), there is a slightly more important issue at hand which has been taken up by several prominent Simmers and the wider community.
