Bonus Desaturated Shades
The primary critique I received for my past skin tone mods and when directly requesting feedback has been
that the deepest shades tend to appear overly saturated. Instead of replacing the more saturated deeps, as they were
generally still desired by those providing feedback, this mod includes a set of alternative deep tones for each shade expanded
by this mod. This desaturated expansion consists of 10+ tones per shade.

Skin Tone Organization
To improve clarity and organization in CC, this mod re-arranges the order in which Vanilla skin tones appear.
This only affects the shades covered by this mod. Instead of the new additions displaying at the very bottom of the
list of skin tones available, they’ll appear in their appropriate places before, between, and after the appropriate vanilla
tones. Tones are sorted by depth, from lightest to deepest.
In-game, this will look something like this:

Why is this mod separate from your previous Natural Skintone Expansion?
This mod was initially planned to simply be an update to my previous expansion, however based on feedback provided
while I was working on said update, the decision was made to release this version as a standalone mod instead.
This is primarily due to certain tones in the original expansion having been adjusted in order to improve the transitions between shades.
As I was originally working on this project, I fully intended to not modify shades I originally created as part of my expansion, however this
severely limited the options for additional mid tones. While I could have simply edited those tones while still releasing this as an
update, it did not feel right to potentially severely adjust shades people have already chosen for their Tavs.
This mod is now fully standalone from my previous expansion. They can be used together and will not conflict.

Certain skintones may appear splotchy or slightly off-color on certain heads, including both modded & vanilla
options. This is related to the heads textures and not something I can adjust on my end.

All skintones included in this mod are available for viewing in the images tab.
