Is there a way to change a Sim's displayed skintone without SimPE?
LadyCrimsonSkye:
Please type slowly, I'm new and don't understand.
If I remove all custom skintones, and re-start my game, All Sims with custom skintones will revert back to default skintones, thus borking the sim's DNA and all DNA of offspring? Does this apply to default eye colors as well?
Would it be easier to clone the sim in question, put new skin on in CAS mode, and use the boolprop tool to bring back her/his skills, interests, etc?
I'd like to change a few Sim skintones, but most of them are default Maxis sims. I don't know if it's worth the effort. Wouldn't it just be easier to replace these sims?

I should have been more specific about what kind of custom skintone I was discussing. The OP just had one sim with this custom skintone, so I knew it could not have been a default replacement.
Removing default replacement skins or eyes causes no harm to the genes. Everybody gets new versions of the appropriate skin or eyes, i.e. dark sims stay dark, pale ones stay pale.
Removing custom skins (geneticised or not) makes all the sims who had that skin display the default S2. Whether they used to be dark or pale does not matter, the game by default will display S2 if the skin file goes missing. Their genes however, aren't overwritten. They continue to point to the missing file which means that their children inherit garbage for DNA.
The same applies to eye color. For that the default is brown.
If you just want to change a few sims, the best way is to do it in SimPE. That way they permanently express the skin you want, and you can fix their DNA to match. It's not necessary to clone or rip those characters out of the game.

You don't actually need new SimPE to simply edit an SDNA anyway, just disable all the broken plugins or use the leaked QA SimPE if you're too stupid to figure out how.
