Permanent Suntan or Sunburn ?

[Dark Trepie]

Oh, by the way, suntans last about 5 days 

That's what I was thinking, but like I said...it's been a couple months since I've played a beach lot, or even just visited one.

My findings seem to be somewhat random.  Or maybe I'm just imagining things.  I've had some sims loose their tans after three days, while others kept them longer.  And using lot debugger on those with the longer tan didn't work.  So apparently they were still supposed to be tanned.

I've only ever had one sim get a borked perma-tan.  It lasted for half of her adult life before I did anything about it.

I just wanted to point out, for those confused, that TashaFaun did NOT bump a 4 month old thread, but rather a "Thanks, this is great!!!11" post did.

Since it is bumped, I guess I'll comment on this, too, if it's of any use to anyone.

With suntans, I always click "Fix Tans & Burns" after I get my Sims back from vacation, and they NEVER keep their tan.  I presume it's because I send them on such long vacations that by the time they get back they don't really have a tan anymore, but I haven't played the BV aspect in so long that I'm not entirely sure.
