I really really love this mod, but my Sim keeps having the sunscreen buff and goop on her nose automatically, even tho she has sunburn immunity. Any way to fix this?

This mod needs an update. I'm having problems with showers (not showing water), and also with "remove shoes indoor" game sign... I tried to write on the patreon (I patreon flerb), but if there is no answer, can someone adopt this mod?

I don't think this is needed any more since Sims did an update back in 2019 regarding sun bathing from Island Living

Believe me, it's not the same thing. EA's tanning system is not "deep" as flerb's. It includes, also, a Vitamin D system... if you lack vitamid d, your sim will be more sleepy and tired. Also, it includes a sunbathing machine (which now gives problems with normal showers) that helps you tanning... and... last but not least, it includes also some fake rugs you can put near your windows to allow sunbathing also inside house. Let's say you have an attic with a big window... you put these fake rugs where sun shows and you can sunbathe . It's a deeper approach...

Ya, I definitely agree. This mod is a must have for me. The EA sunbathe is nothing like Flerbs.

Default Diving Issue
Is there a way to put a block on sunburns and skin damage while scuba diving? My sim wears a full diving suit and should be protected from the sun's rays, not to mention being deep under water which should be another protection. But my sim gets a huge hit on skin damage and also surfaces with a terrible sunburn. The dives are time-controlled and I have no control over how long my sim is down there. There should be an auto feature to embed shading around the diving buoys to combat this problem. This part of the map is not alterable, so using the shade rugs won't work. As it stands right now, after a dive, I have to use MCCC to make my Sim 'happy" to reverse the damage but, unfortunately, it also removes the tan. So, additionally, it would be awesome to have any tan obtained via your mod protected from Deaderpool's MCCC 'make happy" feature. Not so much the skin damage reversal, but the total wipe of any tan received.

kympxq9a80r1.png94zzkqzmgixv.png8pbrp82t5oun.png There are are number of skin aging factors that could be considered for the gradual aging process of Sims outward appearances. Aging

Wrinkles are a by-product of the aging process. As people age, skin cells divide more slowly, and the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, begins to thin. The dermis is composed of a network of elastin and collagen fibers, which offer support and elasticity. As this network loosens and unravels with time, depressions are created on the skin surface. Aging skin is also less able to retain moisture, less efficient in secreting oil, and slower to heal. All these factors contribute to the development of wrinkles.

Facial muscle contractions

Lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and jutting from the corner of the eyes (crow's feet) are believed to develop because of small muscle contractions. Smiling, frowning, squinting and other habitual facial expressions cause these wrinkles to become more prominent. Over time, these expressions coupled with gravity contribute to the formation of wrinkles.

Sun damage

Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can result in premature aging of the skin, also known as photoaging. Exposure to UV light breaks down collagen fibers and leads to the production of abnormal elastin. When ultraviolet light damages skin tissue, an enzyme called metalloproteinase is produced. This enzyme creates and reforms collagen. During the process, however, some healthy collagen fibers are damaged, resulting in solar elastosis—the disorganized formation of fibers. Wrinkles develop when the rebuilding process occurs over and over, less efficiently each time. Exposure to sunlight is the most important cause of prematurely aging skin (a process called photoaging) and skin cancers.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight accounts for most of the symptoms of premature skin aging, such as discoloration, textural changes, and wrinkles.
Lighter skinned individuals are more severely affected.

Age Spots and Skin Tags
Age spots, once called "liver spots," are flat, brown spots often caused by years in the sun. They are bigger than freckles and commonly show up on areas like the face, hands, arms, back, and feet. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that helps protect against two types of the sun's rays (UVA and UVB) may prevent more age spots.

Skin tags are small, usually flesh-colored growths of skin that have a raised surface. They become common as people age, especially for women. They are most often found on the eyelids, neck, and body folds such as the armpit, chest, and groin.

Age spots and skin tags are harmless, although sometimes skin tags can become irritated. If your age spots or skin tags bother you, talk to your doctor about having them removed.

Smoking

Healthy skin constantly regenerates. Old collagen is broken down and removed, and new collagen is produced. Researchers have found that smoking causes a marked reduction in the production of new collagen. Decreased collagen results in the development of wrinkles. And Sims players could choose to have Sims go anti-aging covering up signs of gradual aging process with these sort of methods Laser skin resurfacing, Botulinum toxin type A (Botox®) injection therapy, Fillers, Facelift, and/or Wrinkle creams: Your guide to younger looking skin. However players could could also choose to have their sims to rather use Pro-age cosmetic products that focuses on supporting the skin's natural ways of progression (rather than trying to restrain/contain and cover up the skin's natural ways of progression). "Pro-aging is a term and a concept that has at its roots a much more positive approach to the aging process," explains George Baxter-Holder, aesthetic nurse practitioner at SkinSpirit. "We cannot stop aging! It is a normal and healthy part of life. Viewing the aging process in a realistic and positive way and working with the body's natural defenses is a much more modern concept." As the approach gains momentum, we look to less invasive skincare that supports the organic aging of the skin, working with the body, instead of against it. This, in turn, will create a healthier appearance. So, what's the difference between pro-aging and anti-aging, exactly? Not only do both words have different meanings to different people, it could also mean a different approach to skincare formulation. Generally speaking, anti-aging is a skin-stimulating, intrusive approach to try and stop and/or revert the natural progression of aging skin. This approach usually penetrates the skin on a deeper level towards the dermal/epidermal junction.

As a result, anti-aging is a bit of a deterring concept, sometimes turning away the younger crowd, which might benefit from its actives. Meanwhile, "pro-aging means balance and working with your body, using moisture, antioxidants, and cell turnover to keep skin looking its best," says Baxter-Holder. Think of it like a skincare booster shot or support system.

"Pro-aging is about making small adjustments, restructuring habits as we age, and slow and steady increments that add up over the long term," says Paul Jarrod Frank, MD, board-certified dermatologist in New York City. "Your basic and essential pro-aging regimen is very easy: clean, protect, and hydrate."

This also extends to lifestyle, explains Jami Morse Heidegger, 60-year old founder of luxury skincare brand Retrouvé. Our health is reflected on our skin, which means adequate sleep, hydration, and healthy eating are equally important. (I apologize if this is viewed as spamming however it seems to me that there are a lot of things for Sims game designers/game programmers to consider and explore rather than continue on ignoring/left unexplored.) So basically consider incorporating into sims characters overall layers of skin Epidermis, the top layer.
Dermis, the middle layer.
Hypodermis, the bottom or fatty layer. And micro sublayers of skin The Basal Cell Layer. ...
The Squamous Cell Layer. ...
The Stratum Granulosum & the Stratum Lucidum. ...
The Stratum Corneum. ...
The Papillary Layer. ...
The Reticular Layer. To the Sims or some similar system for players to truly change around cosmetic appearances of the Sims without neccessarily actually overall changing the actual structural appearances to the Sims. And then that also then would lead to the Sims personality traits/characteristic traits of the Sims being played with in how they handle the gradual aging process of their outward appearances of their skin and hair as they gradually grow older and age. Maybe introducing some layers of hybridization and none hybridization of Sims subpersonality traits/characteristic traits to choose from and/or gradually develop and evolve. Because how individuals handle their skin care, body care, and hair care also provides additional clues to their overall personality traits and characteristic traits and subpersonality traits and subcharacteristic traits.


(individual person's/Character's possible facial age related
fine lines, facial Wrinkles, chest/cleavage wrinkles, legs and arms and feet and hands wrinkles, age spots, sagging, stretch marks, age spots, arthritis, osteoporosis, gradual age related cataracts, gradual age related loss of hearing, gradual development of dementia/Alzheimer's, gradual age related hair greying-whitening-silvering/hair thinning/hair reduction/hair loss all depending upon the decade and year of age of the gradual aging process that could be applied to the sims characters. Which having sims sims lifespans prosthetically with advanced technology be incorporating combinations of occult/increasingly advanced technology into the sims aging(gradual aging process depending upon the simmers choice of process the
aging process gameplay) gradually turning/transforming the ordinary Sims characters into technologically advanced prosthetic/biological combo hybrid occult sims. Since it sort of relates.

For all those who dearly miss this mod and hope the best for Flerb who has gone MIA, Kuttoe has a mod out called basic burns. It is not quite as extensive as this was, but it is something. I hope Flerb is safe and well, and, perhaps, will one day return to update this amazing mod. It is one of the first I used for sims 4. If you ever return to see this, thank you Flerb, for all the hours you put into your mods and for introducing me to Patreon!

Flerb!!! Good to know you're well! Please, consider upgrading your mod. I was one of your patreon and always refused to play without your sunbathe mod! If you want some feedback, I'm testing sunbathing with latest (1.96) patch and growing together expansion... The mod still works but language strings are pretty messed up, no more "buy tanning items" on computers... However, skin keep getting darker with sun... I really hope you will upgrade your mod!!! :-D

It does work with infants/growing together but my babies age up to toddler instead of infant. I checked mods 1 by 1 and it was this one causing that issue.

Hopefully gets updated as this mod is a must have!!

Oh... I'm joining the update requests! I myself have not tested it yet (while I am checking my other mods for the need to update, etc., and only at the stage "will the game load or not" - some mod does not allow the game to load, so I check using the "50/50" method "), but since I got acquainted with this mod on its first versions, I really don't want to play without it.
Thanks to Donna565 for reporting the infant age transition issue! I take it you've tried natural growing? If by that time in my "new"-old family (the game will be from scratch, but with my favorite starting family with which I almost always start playing or at least I definitely settle in the city in order to make friends and / or romantic relations with its members ) newborn babies will appear mod will not be updated yet, it will be necessary to try "artificial" growing up to infants through cheat codes or using the Master Controller (it can help if the mod does not globally break the transition to infants, but only affects automatic maturation).

In any case - I beg you Flerb to update this mod!

I tried aging up naturally and force age up and both times they went straight to toddler. You can then go into CAS to change toddler to infant but I'd rather not do that.

Really hoping for an update because I miss using this mod. I have downloaded a similar one for now but it's not as in depth as this one, unfortunately.

"Vampires can't tan obviously. That would be-" questionable from a modder to decide what a player should be able to do and not be able to do as it is their agency. People play this mod for the tanning cabin and you have these arbitrary decisions that gets in the way and bloats your mod. Day walking perk and hybrids exist, and not even the mod "everyone can suntan" seem to be able to undo these artificial problems.
