I have a hard time finding skins that I like. Can anybody point me in the direction of the ones that he or she uses/likes? Many thanks!

I have MANY skins downloaded in my game, but only a few I actually use. Default Skins: [babble]I have been through MANY default skins and I always hated them. They were either too dark, shiny, or they just simply looked odd. I was getting annoyed when I came across these skins on MTS. They're Ephemera's Simple Skin Soft Edition by teru_k. I adore them, but I don't know if others will. I usually like my Sims being ridiculously pale and a little goth-y looking, so I wanted the perfect "pale" default. I personally find the dark skins a little grey-ish looking but it doesn't bother me. I never use many of my other skins though, seeing as I'm always slapping on the skin one default.[/babble] Pooklet Skins: [babble]I simply ADORE Pooklet's skins. Besides the freckled ones, they are a huge fan of mine. I also always wanted a blue skintone for my Sims, but the blue Sparkle N' Shine by astiees didn't fit for me, and so Pooklet had a light blue coloured skintone (as well as a pinky-pale skintone) which I soon fell in love with. Sadly, Pooklet no longer has her website up anymore (for whatever reason), but I hope that she'll get it back up soon! Here's an example of one of her other sets, here.[/babble] Those are really it. I usually will use the occasionally, other pale skintone in my skin box, but it's usually my defaults or my Pooklet skins. Sorry for the long babbles, I just enjoy blabbing about my love for my skins!

Oh, by all means, babble, please.
While looking for skins, that Pooklet set that you recommended is actually one of two sets that I have so far chosen. Great minds think alike and all that jazz, I suppose. There was another set of his/hers that I wanted to get my hands on, but, as you mentioned, the site was closed down.
I've looked at those teru_k skins before, too, but I don't think I ever actually downloaded them. Or maybe I did, and I can't remember? I don't know; they're really familiar, though. But I'm definitely going to check them out in-game now. The faces look really nice.
Thank you, Caitlin!

I have the same problem of finding skins that I like. Most of the time they look so pretty in the pictures, and then when I get them into my game they don't look right on my sims. But enough about my problems! The first defaults I had were Astiees' Naturally Idealized Skins. I liked them, but I always thought they looked too much like the Maxis orange-y skintones. They're still beautiful, but just not for me. I would check them out. Most of the skins I have are from Pooklet.I absolutely LOVE her skintones too! I've had a default version of her "My Poor Lover" set in my game, but since the site is down (grr!) I can't really link you to what you need for it (although if you already have that set I can direct you to the default version). It's my favorite geneticized skin set, and the default version is also very lovely. I hope you can find something you like Samantha! I'm currently looking for defaults for my game too. It's pretty frustrating.

Hmmm. I tend to like the orangeness of the Maxis skins, so I think I'll check those out. Thank you!
Actually, though, I'm looking for skins in general, not just defaults. To be honest, I gave up the search for fitting defaults a long time ago.
Thank you again!

Ah, thank you for the offer! It's Kids in Technicolor, I believe.

Swatches:IMPORTANT: I didn't originally have them so I lurked around for them and after a little bit of searching I quickly found them hiding in Box. Box is what Pooklet used to upload her files, so I'm guessing that the downloads I found were the original ones. Just in case I downloaded them, extracted them and then scanned them. No threats were found, and they look safe enough. I'll test them later in game to see if they're there and won't screw up your game, but they seem fine. DOWNLOAD >>> hereOriginals (I believe): 1 2 3 4 5All the files are all clearly labeled so it'll be easy to choose which ones you do and do not want. I uploaded all the folders into one big file (59.07 MB) or you can download the maybe-originals listed.

Thank you! Your post made me curious, and I did a little of my own searching and was able to find a link to his/her entire Box account. I probably could have found that earlier, if only I'd bothered searching. Sorry about that, Caitlin. I hope I didn't put you through too much trouble. Thank you again!
