I've Returned Once More! This Time With Skin!

[Enelya Anarion]

Yes, skin! Now I've seen all these "realistic" skintone things you can download for your sims...but I seem to be having a bit of trouble with these. You see, I'm not entirely certain what to do with them! Do you just put them in the Downloads folder? Or is there another action that is taken for such things?

D': I appreciate any help....I feel like a real blonde not being able to figure this out.

Yep, skins go in the Downloads folder and you can find them on CAS under custom content right by the default skintones.

As an extra point, if you download skins that are "default replacements" then they will replace the game's normal skins and any Sim already in the game using a MAXIS skin will be converted to the new ones.
These go in the downloads folder as well.
Its always safe to remove default replacements if you decide you don't like them because the sims will just revert to the MAXIS originals they had before.
