A simple fix for a little annoyance vanilla players like me notice.
There's already a similar default here by PatchesSim2 but I think its textures were too low quality. Mine also fixes aliens, plantsims and vampires (forgot to screenshot those last two).
Ear Fix
Maxis made a mistake when making the male sim's face textures. They made the ears too dark compared to teens, children, elders, female sims, etc. So I fixed that by replacing the ears with the teen ear textures.
This ONLY replaces the adult male face textures, it's not a full body replacement. Don't download any other package that also replaces those textures.
Dark Medium Skintone
I've always thought there was a skintone missing between the third and fourth one. The one I made it's just a mix between those two.
It's genetized, which means if two sims with the third and fourth skintones have a child, they will have the dark medium skintone, and it's also townified, which means that randomly generated sims have a chance of spawning with this skintone.
I also made sure that its icon in CaS would match the rest of skintones on the Bodyshop.
