I want to acknowledge your concerns about the variety of skin tones represented in The Sims 4 & I have some updates from the team to share. It was also pointed out that the four darkest shades have a patch of discoloration around the nose. In addition, she promised to fix the “blotchy artifacts and ashy tones,” that exist in the game. However, Pearson acknowledged that this was not enough and more work still needs to be done. In that update, 10 medium to dark skin tones were added to the game. The most recent additions were made in February 2018. The announcement was made in a video by the executive producer and general manager, Lyndsay Pearson. Also, they have prioritized the issues with existing skin tones.
EA recently announced the promise for more diversity when creating sims. She also founded The Black Simmer, a forum for those frustrated with the lack of diversity in the game to come together.As a result of increasing pressure from online petitions, content creators, and general criticisms, the Sims 4 will be getting new skin tones later this year. Arguably, one of the most prominent of these is The Sims Spark'd winner Xmiramira, who was so frustrated by it that she created the Melanin Pack, custom content adding a wide range of new skin tones to the game. Over the lifetime of The Sims 4, many black players have long complained about the lack of realistic dark skin tones available.
However, getting to this point has taken Simmers of all races coming together, something which in itself is problematic. A statement released on social media and the Sims forum states that the team "recognize that we have not done enough to address the variety of skin tones and hairstyles that you expect to find in The Sims 4" and has promised to address the issue this fall. This week The Sims 4 community finally feels heard as Lyndsay Pearson, General Manager of The Sims 4 franchise, has addressed the issue of skin tones in the game.
