Sims 4 Skins CC

Skin CC comes in a few forms. Skintones appear in the skintone panel next to EA's. Overlays sit on top of any skintone to add shading or texture, usually in the skin details or face paint slot. Freckles, moles and birthmarks go in the Skin Details section of CAS.

A default replacement skin swaps out the game's own skin for every Sim in town. Only one can be active at a time, so take the old one out before adding another.

Keep the whole Sim in one style: a detailed Alpha skin under Maxis Match hair can look out of place. Finish the face with eyes and makeup, or see finished results in CC Sims.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a skintone and an overlay?

A skintone replaces the colour and base texture of the whole Sim. An overlay is a layer on top, adding shading, pores or details while keeping the skintone you chose.

Can I use more than one skin overlay?

Yes, if they use different slots. Two items in the same slot replace each other, so check which slot each creator uses before you layer them.

Does skin CC work for children and toddlers?

Only when the creator has enabled it for those ages. The Age line on each listing shows who it fits.
