ZOMG FINALLY. Let's just say that getting the dark tones dark enough and the undertones right was a royal pain. But soooo worth it.

Base textures are a blend of a couple of blends and some other base skins. I used something like... five or six skins total for the bases alone. These I blended with Enayla skins to get their colours and faces in a less bumpy, shiny result with features that work better with a variety of sims, not just tiny-nosed prettypretties.

Faces are shared across ages, with different teeth for babies, toddlers, and children. Fit and slim tones are the same, and TF-AF and TM-EM share textures. Elders only use a pudgy texture. All skins were re-imported with SimPE at DXT 5 to reduce pixellation as much as possible. There's still a fair amount on the darkest tones, but what can you do.

Both genders have nipples and the women have bits, as per my usual.

No defaults for these. I've got some warmer, slightly more matte skins in the works that work better with the average sim that are more appropriate for defaults.

Ugh, those are ridiculously tempting. I probably have upwards of 40 skintones or so in my game right now....would I be sick/wrong/crazy to add these, too?

Haha, that makes me feel better! There are some skins I would like to get rid of, actually, but since some of my townies have them, I don't want their genetics to be "broken" as a result of me yanking out their skintone (which is what I think happens, anyway). I'm a mac user so I can't fix them in SimPE if that happens. Grrr. Anyway, I think I shall download these!

Oh, I am ridiculously excited to see these. The colors are completely gorgeous, they're so warm and earthy. I will be downloading these as soon as I can get on my sims computer. :D

These are lovely! Have I mentioned the massive gap in my geneticized skins where all the golden-and-rosy-but-neither-tan-nor-pale people should be? Thank you so much!

Yup, Soma fell right in a gap in my list, and Panchrest almost filled a gap. It's just on the other side of the gap. Golden Apple slotted into an empty spot, too. So I much appreciate them!

I. Am. In. Love. Thank you hugely, for this gorgeousness, and also for the fact that you provided a custom version. (Oh, and I am one of those folk with 100+ skintones and counting...)

Yessss they're up! They're so gloriously beautiful, I can't thank you enough for making these!

Just two more and I'll be reaching the 400 landmark on skintones again. I guess deleting skintones doesn't really help if you just keep downloading more ...

Heh I used to have a lot more. But then I decided to be a bit more picky, so I deleted all the ones that had pixellation, or were photoskinned, or had tattoos, or a belly button, or were too maxis match for my taste. I think I had about 600 before.

I have made a tattoo'd version of the Ambrosia shade as a contest prize and just wanted to check that is ok with you (: Have read your policy, but these are so gorgeous and you worked hard on them so I just wanted to double check if that is ok! So do you mind?
