I just updated to the 1.33 patch. This problem was occurring in 1.32 as well but not in 1.31. All of my non-default skins show up for male and female. The default replacement skin for my girls show up but the default replacement skin for my guys don't. I uninstalled all my cc before the updates. But the male default is not showing up. I figured I would just use the Non-Default since the default wasn't showing up but the muscle def. slider doesn't work with them. It works until I change the outfit then the definition goes away and won't come back until I remove the non-default from my sim. I removed the UI mod for the skin panel to see if that would solve my problem but no such luck. Please help.

P.S.: I use the Gelygh Bond skin. I thought it might be out of date but the DR skin for my girls is the Summerheat skin and I don't think it has been updated in a long time.

And yes I have showtime. Could the problem be that the skin is not compatible with Showtime? The creator of the skin is...kind of rude and lazy so I doubt they would update it. Is there a way I could do it?

I don't know if there is a way to fix the skins if they -are- the problem, but if you back up your game and then remove the skins and clear the caches you can easily find out.

You have indeed posted three times. I'm not sure why you thought that ensuring that no-one looking at one of your threads would be in possession of the information contained in the other threads would make the problem easier to solve, but I've fixed that for you, so no harm done.

What happened what you tried Ghost's suggestion regarding the changing clothes issue? The muscle slider not working can be caused either by an out of date skintone or by bad clothes (including EA clothes), so removing the skintones will tell you which of those causes applies here.
Do the male skins work on their own, with no other default replacements installed? Remember to clear your caches every time you add or remove default replacements - instructions are here: Game Help:Sims 3 Delete Cache Files.
