De- age your Servo to a teen using Insim or the Sim Blender. Change their appearance to how you want them to look, and age them back to adult. They will still be a servo but have a human appearance at least temporarily. The main issue is that they will periodically switch back to the Servo appearance and you will have to repeat the process again.

Yeah I did that...I am asking about custom skintones here...

My servo is human looking...I'm asking how to change a skintone in SimPe.

Do a web search. Someone posted a few weeks back about a similar issue, one that I'd been dealing with as well, and someone else posted a link to the "Christianlov's Sim Copy Mirror", which lets you copy the appearance of any Sim in your Sim Bin onto your Active Sim. It's MUCH easier than going through SimPE, which never worked to change my Sim's appearances.

I searched and searched and could not find this...

Have you brought the servo to a mirror? Last time I changed skins through simpe, it didn't take full effect until I brought him to a mirror, fiddle with putting on/off full masks, and then ok'd out of it. That was with a full human though, so it might not work for a servo.

Oh and I believe you need to change the DNA in two places, the sims DNA section and the age data such as said here. I'm not sure if sim surgery does that for you? But if you skip the age data part, it might be why the skin isn't showing up.

The changing DNA is two sections is mainly to change the appearance and then to make it genetic. Servos cannot have children, they have no DNA, etc, so this method is most likely ineffective. I have never tried it so I can't say for sure but I would suspect that changing a servo's DNA is totally ineffective and won't change anything because they have no DNA so fiddling with that data changes nothing.

They can have children. Maybe you need certain hacks for them but I've gotten male servos can get females pregnant (and males if you have the same pregnancy hacks). Now whether they actually donate anything to the babies genes, I'm not sure. But my servo and his wife had quite a brood of kids. Since there is a DNA slot in simpe for them, I figured when they become human looking, this is where the game is looking for reference on what skin to give them. I figured if you need to change both parts for a normal sim, why not change them for the servos too, since they're supposed to look like a normal sim?

A servo does not have DNA, which is probably why it's not making a difference. Unless that take-to-a-mirror trick described above works. The method of changing the skintone of a sim that you described works for sims that use normal skintones so I have no idea whether it would actually work on a servo, which is not a sim that has DNA, etc ( ... )
