Original Poster 1 point 4 months ago My game hasn’t been glitching randomly, my whole laptop is a bit slower now tho since I’ve downloaded the mod. But then again I think that’s just normal since it’s a Mac and not a gaming laptop in any way.
This tutorial will explain to you basics of creating custom skin tones that are supported by WickedWhims. Note that this tutorial will not tell you how to make good skin tones, but just working skin tones.
1. Download Resources
> TS4 Skininator - Download
> Skin Tone Templates - Download
> Aorta DDS - Download
Aorta will be used to convert PNG files into DDS files that can be used in TS4 Skininator. If you can’t use Aorta or don’t want to, you can use Sims4Studio to load a PNG file and save it as a DDS file.
Skin Tone Templates archive file contains two files, but only the ‘MySkinToneTexture.png’ file will be used in this tutorial. The ‘SkinToneTemplateModel.png‘ file is used to inform you how the skin tone texture area is mapped and show you where the extra WickedWhims penis texture space is located (green square).
2. Recolor Texture
Open the ‘MySkinToneTexture.png’ file with your preferable graphics editor (like Photoshop or GIMP), change the color to the skin tone you want, and save the file.
It’s important to use this template if you want your skin tone to be compatible with WickedWhims because it contains an additional region with color used by penis mods.
That additional region is located on the bottom-right of the texture and it is marked with a green square on the ‘SkinToneTemplateModel.png‘ file. It’s important to keep that additional region as one solid color to properly display all penis models texture.

To use your edited ‘MySkinToneTexture.png’ file you need to convert it to a DDS file. In this tutorial, we will be using Aorta, but if you know how to do it with Sims4Studio, you can use it instead.
Open Aorta and click the Load normal… button. Then select the ‘MySkinToneTexture.png’ file and open it.
Once you see your texture loaded, click the Save as… button and save the file as ‘MySkinToneTexture.dds’ file.
On the DDS Options screen, you need to make sure to at least have the ‘Use DXTC’ option selected, and then click the OK button to save.
4. Creating the New Skin Tone Package
Creating a new skin tone package is all done with TS4 Skininator, so turn that on. On the first run, you will be asked to give your creator name, path to the game files and path to the Sims 4 documents folder.
Once you see the main application window, let’s start with making sure that you have the Create/Edit Custom Skin Colors tab selected.
Then make sure you have the Cloning Tool tab selected.
On that tab, select the Clone Game Skintones option which should display you the list of all the skin tones you have in your game.
Then select the checkmark on the first skin on the list, because we will only be making one new skin tone for a human (not vampire or alien) in this tutorial.
And before we’re done, make sure you have the New custom content option selected at the bottom.
That’s it! Now click the Clone! button and save your package. That package will be later used to apply your new skin tone texture and that will be your package that you will use in your game once we’re done.
5. Editing the New Skin Tone Package
Let us switch to the Clone Package Editor tab for this part.
There click the Select button and select your newly created package.
Once it loads, we can replace the textures with your new skin tone. Click on the gray area to open a new window for replacing the texture. You need to do this twice for both the ‘Texture in CAS’ and ‘Texture in game’ fields.
In the newly opened window click on the Import Image button and then select your ‘MySkinToneTexture.dds’ file.
And then just click the Save button.
Remember to repeat this process for both the ‘Texture in CAS’ and ‘Texture in game’ fields.
The last thing to change is the Swatch Color that will be visible in CAS. Just click on the white rectangle and pick the new color.
Then click the Commit Changes button to apply all the things you’ve done.
And click the Save Package button to be finally done.
6. Finish
That’s it. You’re done. You can now close the TS4 Skininator application and test your package in-game by moving it into your Mods folder.

Note that you can make skin tone textures with more detail if you want, and apply special flags, but the most important part is to keep the extra skin space explained at the beginning.

How to install : If you’re using the Windows Installer version then skip this instruction. Make sure to remove WickedWhims files before using the installer if you had the mod installed manually before. Note that the Windows Installer is not required to install the mod! - If you have never turned the game on after installation, turn it on and off at least once before any mod installation. - Open the downloaded mod archive file with an archive manager. - Open the folder for The Sims 4 Mods (DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 4Mods). - Drag the ‘WickedWhimsMod’ folder from the archive manager application to the opened The Sims 4 Mods folder. - Turn the game on and open 'Game Options’. - Turn the game off and on again If you’re missing the 'Resource.cfg’ file in the Mods folder or you suspect it’s invalid - remove it, turn the game on and turn the game off, it should be there again. Make sure you have not placed the mod files into too many folders. If the files are too deep into folders the game will not be able to find the files. Installation of S E X animations is exactly the same. Download the animation package, extract it with an archive manager and put the 'PACKAGE’ file to The Sims 4 Mods folder. Wicked Whims New UpdateTURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Tuning.packageTURBODRIVER_WickedWhims_Scripts.ts4script ww_cas_parts.json The most common mistakes happen to everybody so check them regardless of your pride and computer knowledge. Please don’t use the installer for Windows on Linux or Mac systems. It’s not designed for it and you don’t need it to install the mod. 1. Files structure of mods is pretty strict and putting mod files into too many folders will cause the game to not find them. If your mods are in a folder that is in a folder that is in a folder that is in a folder, you most likely have to fix that. Don’t do too many folders, the game can’t find the files in them. 2. After every game update, you have to enable mods in settings again and restart the game. Every single time when the game gets updated, all of your mods get disabled. Enable them in settings. 3. Extract downloaded mods. Some of them might need to be in a ZIP or RAR files, but a lot of them require unpacking. Extract them no matter what and if they don’t include a note that you shouldn’t do it, then you probably should do it. 4. Multiple mods versions. If your mods folder is a mess, you probably have the same mod installed multiple times. Having WickedWhims installed twice or more is a huge mistake. Remove everything related to WickedWhims and install it again. 5. Update. Outdated mods are the most common issue when a game update occurs and you might not be even aware of it.
