I remember doing something like that with one of Louis' skintones, and ending up with two bellybuttons on one without noticing. Apparently they weren't completely the same in all shades.
There seems to be some disagreement over where the belly button should be. Similar disagreements result over where the nipples belong.

I've done pretty much the same with the ivory and ebony. I don't have the freckled one in as I could never decide where to put it... but I think I want it now!
And death to all hairy-bellied Nesses.

Well, those things vary quite a bit from person to person, as does their appearance. I've seen people fuss over how the knees and collarbones look too. My big sticking point is abs--for some reason the tummies on "realistic" skins almost never look quite right to me.

Gwill, I agree with you about feeling that the dark skins aren't dark enough. It actually annoyed me when I first got the game.
This isn't a default, but I found a "chocolate" skin from Around the Sims 2 that I liked using for a while on my darker sims. They also have a paler, ivory skin available, and I guess it wouldn't be too hard to make it a default. They have a bit of that blueish undertone you see in African type skin which is missing in the Maxis defaults (which, IMO, look warmer and more Indian).

I suppose they could be geneticized or made into defaults easily enough.

Out of curiosity, what does everyone else have Lyran's 3 extra skins geneticised as? I have the freckled one at 0.1, ivory at .05 and ebony at .95.
.1, .05, and .99, respectively! Though I did it so long ago, I might eventually go back and redo the genetics according to the collection of skins I've got going now, and where they fit with my default replacements. (I didn't have any replacements when I first geneticized.)

I like those skins from ATS too, but they don't work for YA, so I ditched them shortly after Uni came out. It's a shame, because they are very nice.
