This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Black/Dark Grey Weirdly Shadowed Skin?
I downloaded a couple of cute sims from a few people on tumblr, happy as anything, and those people hadn't listed skins under CC for those sims, so I assume they use the default (or, at least, their default) skin.

Unfortunately when I load the sim...



This wouldn't really be all that big a deal, except that even when I change the sim to one that comes close to matching...



it does that.

It looks like the shader is wrong? But changing between skins doesn't fix it.

I was wondering if there was a way of fixing this and, maybe if I'm lucky, making it go back to defaulting to, well, the default.

Anyone know anything?

Do something else like change gender and back, that should fix it.

It did, thank you. I suppose there's no way to just make it not to begin with?

Im pretty sure i have all the sliders for my custom sims.. Why does this happen when i choose one of my custom downloads from the sims bin? They dont resemble the sim i downloaded at all their skin is black and often their pants as well.. It happens to about 90% of them

It's not a matter of sliders but of the skin. If the sim uses a custom skin that you don't have installed, it reverts to that black one.

Most likely it's an issue with custom content. Sometimes, badly textured clothes display the textures from other parts (like boots), or display their texture on Sims' bodies. Try removing the mods, clearing your cache files, and running your game again.
