I think the breaking point for me personally was digging through 60 pages of custom content skins, and either not seeing anyone create darker skin at all, and the two or three skin tone packs that had darker skin, the skin was really gray and ghastly. ![]() The Melanin Pack is a skin-tone pack that I created for The Sims 4 to bring a broader range of brown skin tones with contrast and with vibrance. There’s so many different fun ways to stay creative and to keep the game relevant and that alone kept me on the game for years. I love the unique spin it allows you to put on your characters and your gameplay.
