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”.
