Look at that! A whole set of skins that actually match. I intended to make these to use for myself as default replacements, but I'm not really in the mood to make the defaults just yet, so I'm releasing the custom versions and the town/gen versions here, right now!
I'll be starting college next week, so I won't have as much time to make sims CC or to play the game as I have this summer,
but who knows? Maybe I won't be as busy as I'm expecting.
Credits:
These skins are on an anva base, and I think I blended some other skins onto the bodies but I can't remember for sure. the face is a mix of anva, ephemera, paryun, clover, and some misc asian creator.
This is my first shot at making dark skintones from scratch, so if you have any comments on that I'd be happy to accept some constructive criticism.
edit: I think I'll re-do the darker shades and upload them in seperate set later, because I'm not really happy with them, but these will remain here..
My favorite part of these skins is the lips.. they're a blend of 3 different lipsticks and I think they came out the best.
The first four skins are very smooth in game, but the last four seem to be a bit pixelated in the face, no matter what I did. Especially the last tone, which I only included because then I'd be able to make a nice even preview with 2 rows of four...
onto the previews!
(Models are not wearing any make-up.. or clothing. Naughty bits are censored |{there are naughty bits on the females, and the males have nipples} and the uncensored images are included with the downloads.)
(Edit 11/12/2017: modified this post along with other skin posts to add what previews I had after imageshack dropped them. Also note that for most of my older skins I didn't know how to make darker skins properly and the skin shading looks flat and off.)

How did you blend the lips, by the way? I want to learn how to modify lips on skintones. Any tips are appreciated ;)
Also, thanks for making an only-custom version. *hugs*
And the best of luck with college.

Date: August 28th, 2009 03:49 am (UTC)I blend the lips by extracting the lip textures in bodyshop, then opening them up and the facefile I want to edit in my photo editing program (you can do all this in most programs, but of course photoshop is probably best, though I use my other program) select the lips using your elliptical marquee and feather the selection, then paste it onto your face file. You can create unique combinations by pasting different lips on top of each other and adjusting the opacity of the different layers, and erasing different parts of lips on top to show the textures of lips underneath. For example, I used a more chapped lip underneath a more glossy lip for this particular set, and I erased parts of the glossy lip around the edges to show off the chapped bits better.
If this is all too confusing, I can write up a proper tutorial for you with pictures?
Thank you so much for commenting! Good luck with all of your schoolwork, too! And I promise to do a custom version for all of my skins from now on.

Date: August 28th, 2009 03:52 am (UTC)I tried a noise filter but it still didn't help the actual images after I imported them via simPE. The files that the skins are reading from are perfectly smooth, so why they look pixelated is really a mystery to me. I hope you enjoy them, though, and don't worry if you have to delete any of the darker shades due to the pixelation.

Date: August 28th, 2009 06:16 pm (UTC)I'll check them out today. Your Tan and ethnic colors look very warm and hot. Men will do good with 6-pack abs as in ephemera's skintone, but to be honest your guys look pretty hot "fans self". Good Job. Have a great day!!! Thanks for the goodies.
Luv,
Amber

Date: August 29th, 2009 08:28 am (UTC)First of all I wish to say that I enjoyed your work thoroughly. Your color selection was great, however, there was one small mistake with the adult male scalp, wherein all of them have a different scalp instead of their own, I say that because all the other ages like teen male, elder male work fine. The female section has no problem. Your Alien blend looks awesome in game (that doesn't seem to have any problem with adult male scalp). Please don't take this in the wrong sense, am I not your friend? Thanks and best wishes for your college.
Please check this out, it has the scalp of teen and adult male http://www.mediafire.com/file/jtizmjyrzk5/PLS-C.zip
Luv,

Date: August 29th, 2009 12:29 pm (UTC)I don't know if you're familiar with skin blending, but I don't know what the issue could be because in each package there is only one hair alpha (which is the "scalp" of the head), and all of the ages use the same one, so I don't understand why this is happening to the adult males but not the other ages. I will check this out later, and again, I am very sorry.
Thank you for letting me know!

Date: October 11th, 2009 08:28 pm (UTC)As I said, it really doesn't make sense because the scalp is the same for all ages and genders, and I myself don't have any problems.

I might be able to make defaults for you in a week or so, but at the moment I've lost all of my files and programs and I'm trying to get everything back. Just send me a PM to remind me. :]
