Thanks so much for freckles that'll even work on darker skintones! I love giving my sims freckles and hated that they looked like pale flecks on some darker skintones. Great job!
I tried to play Life Stories with base game-compatible CC from WDS, but my game wouldn't start. When I removed those objects, the game started with no problems.
It seems like some base game compatible objects just don't work with LS. SO I guess it's just a matter of trial and error.
