Glad you could finally separate them, missy. This will be so much better. Now to edit some sims. Thanks!

I know, I hated having two on one slider also but when I made them we didn't know how to add sliders then! I have taken my time though, sorry guys......

These are fantastic.

Did you run into pixelation problems with the darker tones? I had a lot of trouble when I worked with very dark tones.

No, I now have a method with dark tones, select the dark end with selection tool and use the gradient tool with your dark colour and the mid tone where the selection ends, fill the selection with the gradient and you'll have nice smooth blending with no pixilation. Thats also a good trick if you want the hue or saturation to change slightly as you go up. All my ramps have hue/saturation change as they go up since I'm rarely happy with light/dark variants of the one tone and the dark ends are very de-saturated compared to the rest. :p

Simply brilliant, as are your other skintones. Wonder if this will keep my blue-toned and purple-toned sim couples from occasionally spawning grey babies this time around? XD

These are brilliant. I have a really stupid question, though: Are the skins available for toddlers through elders, or just adults?

It won't let me view the page for the UI mod. Any idea why?

Uh, they seem to be replacing my default skins. How do I get the extra skin chooser?

If you don't want a default replacement then make sure only the
missy harries_Seperation_Blue Slate.rar and missy harries_Seperation_Amethyst.rar are in your mods folder : ) they'll show up as extra tones.

I did that. When I use it I get 6 sections and the 'non default' ones show the foulder Icon, so it still replaces the defaults... sort of.

And besides, I keep hearing that the latest update is 1.7. The latest patch I see is 8.0.152. Where is this 1.7 coming from?

Hmmm, thats strange
Is your game fully patched to date? With the latest patches you should be able to use mouse wheel to scroll down to exra tones and as long as you have just one of my default files or no default and both separated tones it should work fine. Problems usually only jump up if someone puts two tone mods in that both replace the same default.

OH! DOH! I didn't see a Scroll bar so I didn't think to do that. Never mind.

I have been contemplating doing some experiments into creating some drow (a tyle of D&D dark elf with black skin and white hair) sims and your blue slate skintone looks like it may do the job for them.
