Hi everyone,

I noticed that there's a speical dark skintone in The Sims Castaway Stories.
But that skintone doesn't exist in The Sims 2.

If you select a skintone in TSCS, it is equivalent of a "+1" skintone in TS2.

This means, the lightest skintone (S1) in TSCS is the same skintone as the second lightest skintone (S2) in TS2.
Or, the second lightest skintone (S2) in TSCS is the same skintone as the tan skintone (S3) in TS2.
Or, the tan skintone (S3) in TSCS is the same skintone as the darkest skintone (S4) in TS2.
But the darkest skintone (S4) in TSCS is a special skintone which is not available in TS2.

Anyway,
I wanted to use that skintone in TS2 but it was pixelated and it looked blurry.
So, I cloned a Maxis skintone and used Photoshop to match the colours and did the rest. (Fixed teeth, eyes and some other things)

I also geneticized and townified it because this is actually a Maxis skin.
This means, this skintone has genetics and new spawned townies can have this skintone.

I set it to be darker as the Maxis dark skintone. This means if (e.g.) a sim with the lightest skintone (S1) and this skintone had children, the children could have the lightest skintone (S1), the second lightest skintone (S2), the tan skintone (S3), the dark skintone (S4) or this (the darkest) skintone.

By the way,
I hope you like it.
