To change the skin, select the “Skintone” GUID. The values we want to change are in “Dominant Gene”.This will open a new tab with the Sim’s DNA selected. In the bottom pane, click on “More” and select “Open Sim DNA”. Then scroll down to find the Sim you want to modify, sorted by first name, and select him. In the top right pane, click on the “Type” bar at the top to sort by name. Once it has loaded, in the top left pane, select “Sim Description”.You might want to make a backup while you have the Neighborhood Browser open. Load your neighborhood in SimPE (using Tools -> Neighborhood Browser).There may be an easier way with SimSurgery, but I like to fiddle with my Sims’ genes anyway, so this technique is fine for me. In the interest of sparing others’ Sim children from unnecessary death, here is how I do it. * By “did not like” I mean “could not stand children with red teeth”. I have been known to kill Sim babies merely because I did not like the skin they inherited*, but that was before I learned how to change skin and eye colors of existing Sims using SimPE.
