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. 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. 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. Please explain Skin Overlay, Skin Mask, Normal Skin, Etc
