Please help - How can I find a specific set of skintones in mods folder

[jayjay83]

So I went on a download spree of new sims

However I now have too many skintones (Some sets of which are horrible and too dark and the game is placing those tones on default sims)

 

I really want to find and delete the few culprits but in CAS they are just tiny coloured squares with no details or names i cant find which they are

Is there a way to fix/solve this? Or to find which names/mods they come from?

 

PLEASE HELP

Use Sims 4 Tray Importer.

 

1. Create a blank Sim with absolutely nothing on them except for the offending CC
2. Click on the red x on all clothing, hair, facial hair, shoes, face, skin details, makeup, hats, and all accessory categories to ensure the Sim is truly empty
3. Do the above for all outfit categories and also ensure that the Sim only has one outfit per category
4. Save the Sim to your Library (tray)
5. Open up Sims 4 Tray Importer
6. Scroll down until you see your newly created Sim and select it
7. Click on 'Export with CC' and save it
8. Open up the saved file and look at the CC files.  If you did it correctly there should only be one or two package files (.package).
9. You can view these files in Sims 4 Studio if you aren't sure which file is the offending bad CC:  Sims 4 Studio - 'My CC'
10. Delete the offending file from your Sims 4 mods folder

If you capture more than one file, it is usually a skintone, skin overlay, or default override mod which you probably want to keep.  

I also use the Sims 4 Tray Importer method to remove ugly CC from CAS.  I've loaded a Sim with all the CC I hate and identify it and remove it all in one go.  Enjoy!
