We saw your feedback about the October skin tones update and, to improve clarity and transparency, we shared a first look on Twitter of the fix in progress. With this patch, the Console game gets the October fixes for texture compression, resolving the banding on the cheeks and foreheads as well as discoloration on the tip of the nose. In addition, this patch addresses the two community-identified issues of red dots around the lips and a dark blotch between the eyes. The red dots around the lips should be completely resolved at this time. The dark blotch between the eyes was softened to remove the hard edge, but the darkening is expected as part of the shadowing around the nose.
Marking this as fixed as part of the skin tone update in patch 1.33
Please create a new thread if there's still issues
Good Luck

@crinrict the second picture of the #3 poster looks the same. You can see the pattern on the female sims arms. The other pictures look the way the dark skin tones looked before, just mottled and not very nice. The pattern on them is new.
