I'm fairly sure this will work fine unedited. I think the textures are the same size.
You'll have to rename the files to overwrite the TSM skintone files though or they won't show.

I don't know who disagreed with me, but here it is in my game.

LOL I've cropped it back a little from the original posted screenshot. I cut it above his 'sim-bits' then posted it, but it was still quite low (hadn't realized quite how low till I came back and scrolled down myself lol). I wanted to keep the hips in, since this is what I liked best about this skintone, they've been beautifully done. Hopefully it's not so excruciating to scroll down now =P

Thank you, he was originally a heavily cassed NPC, I like to play with the features they were given till they look decent. I saved this one, and he's now my monarch's brother.

What would they need to be renamed, by the way? What would I want to name the files if I was, say, looking to overwrite the pinkest skin and the one second to last on the right column?

I normally look through the build files and guess which is which, it's not always evident from just looking at them, so the answer is I don't know which these would be. The pinkest one might be the WhiteLight skintone, but again I'm just guessing.

Oh, so what you mean is you'd just need to rename them so the computer doesn't get confused? So say you have the same default skin named "SuperHairyAll Skin" in your TS3 mods folder, but if you want it in you TSM folder, you just copy the .package file you'd have to rename it as "SuperHairyAll Skin2"?

No it's what's inside the package that needs to be renamed to overwrite the tsm skintones, it/they has/have to be identical to the one/ones you want to overwrite, instance ID and all.

You'll also most likely have to edit the casp file to make it work with TSM too.

Somehow the sims in Medieval look more realistic than the dolls from Sims 3 even with imported skins...

You can use an existing skin mod, replacing the image files as you like and re-assemble a new package. As a quick example, here is one I did for my game because I wanted a more red skintone. I used Gimp 2.8.2 plus .dds plug-in to edit the image files.

A screenshot and 7z of the file are attached.

If you're overwriting the basegame skintones there's no need to fiddle with casp files at all, so long as the filenames are the same.

I know, I had a moment of brainfreeze, you are of course, right.
