New skin tones

There's seems to be one new skin tone in University Life, but I'm not sure if it will be included in the patch or not. Chances are it will, but updating this page can wait until the game is released, I guess. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 09:52, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

I've seen references to The Sims 3: Seasons making the skin tone used by aliens available in CAS. Dharden (talk) 13:45, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

You're right. I didn't think of alien skin tone before, but I didn't really notice if aliens have a new skin tone or if it's added in Seasons patch. This image to be exact, though. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 03:39, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Well, if it's in the Seasons patch, I'd expect it to be in the EP as well, but I don't know if it'd necessarily be the other way around. Dharden (talk) 05:29, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

http://simsvip.com/game-guides/sims-3-seasons/ , scroll down to Create A Sim Features:New Skin Types. It really shows if you click through to the full-size pic. No idea if the screenshot is from a game w/Seasons, or if it's in the Seasons patch, or if it was carried forward from Seasons, and too late here to look, but it looks like the new tone is from Seasons, not UL.

I'll try to check it if it's the same skin as alien skin in my game or not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that screenshot is taken with BG and UL only. So if alien skin is from a patch, then the skin isn't new. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:16, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not in a position to know what packs and patches a shot was taken with unless it's explicitly stated. However, if that shot was taken with just BG and UL, it implies that tones added in one patch are carried forward into later ones, since the Supernatural tones are there, and they are known to have been in the Supernatural patch. In any event, it looks like the tone was new in Seasons. Dharden (talk) 13:20, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

http://simsvip.com/2012/10/29/seasons-patch-1-42-new-features-options/ says that the new tone is in the Seasons patch, but I'm not sure what patch number 1.42 translates into. Dharden (talk) 14:14, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

So here's the alien skin tone in the game. Looks like the screencap in UL is too dark, and apparently they are the same skin tone. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:10, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

... or not. I can't really tell. University Life is only 2 weeks away, so it's not that long to seek the truth. The problem is the image itself, which I added in the UL page as well. Should I edit and remove the skintone one? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:15, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

For now, I'd say so, until we know for sure. Dharden (talk) 14:19, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Done. I can't rearrange it any better, as it will always leave blank spaces anyhow. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:54, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
