I am having a similar problem but the only expansion I have loaded is Nightlife.
The male sims in Bodyshop and in gameplay have solid black skin except for their faces.  The problem is encounter with defualt and custom skin colors. I've disabled all mods, searched for bad files and can not find the problem.  Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a resolution?
