These skintones are a blend of Lyran, Maxis and Enayla's Pixie skins. All credit for the textures go to them, I just mashed them together and tweaked them to create something I liked, and which fitted my world.
There are several different types of file for each skintone. Please read the description to enable you to choose the right one for you.
Custom: These are skintones as they appear straight out of bodyshop. They are dominant over all geneticised and default skintones.
Geneticised: These have been given a value as to where they fall in my spectrum. Children born in game could be born with them, if their parents have skintones above, or below their value. E.g. Cafe has been given a value between S4 and S3. It is possible that a child whose parents have S4 and either S3, S2 or S1 skin, could be born with cafe as its skintone.
Default: These replace the four Maxis skintones. As with all defaults, there can be only one, so make sure to remove any existing default skintones before adding these, to avoid conflicts.
In addition, DO NOT download both the custom AND geneticised versions of a skintone. They will conflict with each other.
All models are without make up, and all skins have been compressorised. Each skin works for all ages, and each fitness state has a different texture.
Lily.
Maxis/Enayla blend. The lightest of my current skintones, the geneticised version has a value of 0.05, placing it below the S1 default. Models are shown in normal fitness state. Also available as an S1 default.
Custom. Geneticised. S1 Default.
*New* Flawless Lily. Lily without the freckles. You can have both the original and this one in your game at the same time (apart from the default natch).
Custom. Geneticised. S1 Default.
Pale.
Lyran/Enayla blend. The skintone I've been using as my S1 default for the past three years. I've got a feeling given the models that this might be the fit state. The geneticised version has a value of 0.1, the same as Maxis S1.
Custom. Geneticised. S1 Default.
*new* S1 Default without moles. Custom and geneticised will follow later.
Light.
Lyran/Enayla blend. The skintone I've been using as my S2 default for the past three years. Carmen is fit, David is normal fitness state. The geneticised version has a value of 0.3, the same as Maxis S2.
Custom. Geneticised. S2 Default
Light v2.
My light skintone has been bothering me for a little while. Although I love the tone of it, it has a tendency to look a little grubby in certain lights, as if my sims haven't washed. So, I made a new version. It's still the same tone, but uses a different Enayla skin as a base and is blended with Maxis, rather than Lyran textures. Again, David is normal fitness state, Carmen is fit. The geneticised version has a value of 0.3, the same as Maxis S2.
Custom. Geneticised. S2 Default.
Sunny.
A new inbetween tone. Subtly darker and warmer than my Light skintones, it's an Enayla and Maxis blend again. Both models show the fit state. The geneticised version has a value of 0.4, not quite halfway between S2 and S3, in case I feel like making another, slightly darker skintone in the future. Also available as an S2 default.
Custom. Geneticised. S2 Default.
Tan.
Lyran/Enayla blend. The skintone I've been using as my S3 default for the past three years. Both Christopher and Trisha are normal fitness. The geneticised version has a value of 0.6, the same as the Maxis S3 skintone.
Custom. Geneticised. S3 Default
Cafe.
Maxis/Enayla blend. Fits nicely into my spectrum between S3 and S4, the geneticised version has a value of 0.8 to reflect this. Also available as S3 default. Both models are normal fitness state.
Custom. Geneticised. S3 Default.
Dark.
Lyran/Enayla blend. the skintone I've been using as my S4 for the past three years. The geneticised version has a value of 0.9, the same as the Maxis S4. Both bethany and Sanjay look to have normal fitness state.
Custom. Geneticised. S4 Default.
