The Face Mask section was not designed by Maxis to house such things, just face wrinkles, face freckles, facial moles and such the like, but as I say, clever CC creators use that section to put their complete body overlays. They override nothing and you have to put them on your sims yourself. Mask and overlays are commonly the most detailed types of skins, some with very realistic body features from head-to-toe. Found in the Face Mask area of Cas and not part of the general skin tone choices. Masks and overlays are clever ways of changing a sim's skin colour and body detail appearance. Default Replacement skins will override the Maxis skins and change all your pre-existing sims to the new skin colour tones.

Giving more variety when choosing ethnicity tones. Non-Default Replacement are more colour skins that will not override the Maxis skin colour set. These skins are the colour (ethnicity) skins. and i'm still as confused as everĭefault skins, like base skins, are the Maxis skins all sims have. Emily CC Finds sims4 miiko eye shapeoverlays mouthcrease questions Webbmiikocc. maybe not?)Īre all of those different things? Are any of them the same? What do they mean? How do they differ? Sorry if this question has been asked before, like i said maybe i am a moron, but i literally spent an hour this morning trying to google to find an answer, and spent an hour or two last night trying to find definitive descriptions of what those skin types mean. 2020 miiko-sophie-body-blush (lipmole).package miiko-sophie-body-blush. i've come across:īase Skin ^ (pretty sure this one is the same as Default or Default Replacement.but. It seems like there are 4 (or 5) different types of skins for Sims 4. It's like everyone "magically" understands what these things mean.

Even looking at download pages for sim modders who make skins they don't seem to explain what the difference is between a Skin Mask, Skin Overlay, and just a skin. i tried googling "Sims 4, explain skin overlay, mask, normal" and i couldn't find answers, i tried different search terms too. I am very confused about the differences of skin types in sim 4. They do not alter the skin colour, but the shading.Please explain Skin Overlay, Skin Mask, Normal Skin, Etc Overlays are like a layer of shadows and highlights.

You can also make the cc compatible yourself: see here. However, not all makeup and tattoos will work with these skins, but most creators do adjust their cc for skins of this type. The advantage of this is that the skin consists of more than just one plain colour and subtile colour variations give it a more realistic look! Also, the included colours differ from the base game skintones. As you can see above, despite the chosen skin tone being blue, the application of a full-coverage skin changes the skin colour completely. What’s the difference between overlay and full-coverage skins?įull-coverage skins (often just referred to as “skin”) come with their own colours.
