I only discovered this today because this wasn't happening before they brought out "Kits". I looked up to see if I can find anything like my issue but I'm not sure the issues people were submitting were the exact same to mine. When I go into create-a-sim, all of the lighter skin tones work normally but when I click on the darker skin tones, the sim will turn pitch black. The color slider doesn't change anything either. Only a select few dark skintones work but it's not the ones I usually use. I'll insert a photo of a random sim to show an example. When I turned off mods and custom content, the issue isn't there so I'm guessing it's something in my mods, I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@BeanieSimmies This is usually a mod issue with custom default skins. Make sure to only use skins that are updated for the new skin tones.

How come it also happens when all mods are disabled*?

*disabled, but not deleted

[BeanieSimmies]

Yeah, I’ll make sure and find my custom skins, delete them, and see if anything changes. I just thought it was so bizarre that all skin tones were working fine last week into this week and now they aren’t. But I guess if anyone has mods and cc, after every patch at least one thing will become broken in the game lol. I’ll be sure to update if anything changes. Thank you.

@Jo_Unger_AT usually if you use custom skins and remove Sims, all skins turn black cause the skin is no longer present.

Taking your Sim to cas should solve that though. Maybe even deleting the localthumbcache file will help

i've tried everything in this thread and it's still not working. I guess I'll have to wait for EA to fix it in the next update..

starting a new game hasn't worked either for me.

@xDerrax Have you been using custom skin tones ?
