Auto Makeup
by deadlystingnyc
Your Sims have great outfits, great hair, great nails — and then you zoom in and half of them are completely bare-faced because the game never gave them makeup to begin with, while the other half look like Juggalo wannabees. Auto Makeup fixes that, applying tone-matched makeup to female Sims on appropriate outfit categories automatically so every face looks finished.
Why You Need This
When The Sims 4 does apply makeup to Sims by default, the results are rarely cohesive or intentional looking. The game pulls from the full catalog at random with no regard for skintone, outfit, or whether any of the pieces belong together. Until now the best workarounds were mods that prevent makeup from appearing on randomized Sims entirely, or carefully curated saved outfit lists in MCCC/MC Dresser with "use saved outfits only" toggled on, both of which are a lot of work just to avoid the problem rather than solve it.
Auto Makeup seeks to solve it. Rather than pulling at random, it selects lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and eyelashes that actually suit each Sim's skintone, applied consistently across every appropriate outfit category, without you having to think about it.
How It Works
Click any Sim and run Auto Makeup → Build Makeup Config to scan your owned CAS parts and build the makeup catalog. From there, use Apply Makeup to apply tone-matched makeup to any Sim on demand, or enable auto-fix in the config to have it run automatically in the background on Sim spawn, age up, or both.
The tone-matched Apply Makeup and auto-fix functions draw from a small, hand-selected pool of styles and color swatches from the base game and Essential Glam Kit. If Essential Glam Kit is not installed those styles are skipped automatically. CC is not used for tone-matched application unless it directly overrides one of those specific styles or swatches. Results may range from subtle to more dramatic, but nothing garish or mismatched. Auto-fix and Apply Makeup fill empty makeup slots only, they will not overwrite existing makeup.
The scanned catalog, used by the individual randomization options like Change Lipstick and Change Eyeshadow, pulls from every makeup part in your installed catalog, including CC if it has been toggled on via the menu or config file.
What's excluded:
- Athletic, Sleep, Bathing, and Swimwear outfits are never modified by auto-fix — you can still apply tone-matched or randomize makeup on these outfits manually via the pie menu
- Males and Sims with fantasy skintones are not eligible for auto-fix or Apply Makeup. The manual makeup randomization tools work on anyone regardless of gender or skintone
- Auto-fix functions work on female Sims Teen and up
Auto-fix is off by default. When enabled, each Sim is fixed once and remembered so the mod doesn't re-apply makeup on every spawn. Deleting the mod's generated deadlystingnyc_auto_makeup_fixed.txt file resets this.
⚠️ CC makeup may produce unexpected results. CC is off by default for randomization. Enable it from the menu or config file if you want your CC in the mix for randomization features.

Requirements
- The Sims 4 — base game only
Recommendations
- Essential Glam Kit (SP72) — Optional but strongly recommended for widest tone-matching style availability
- EA Lash Remover (e.g., by Wightspider) - Highly recommended so your Sims' eyeliner and lashes display cleanly without chunky default meshes clashing.
Installation
- Download and unzip
deadlystingnyc_auto_makeup.zip
- Drop the unzipped folder into your Mods folder:
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/
- In-game, go to Game Options → Other and make sure Script Mods are enabled
- Click any Sim and run Auto Makeup → Build Makeup Config to finish setup
⚠️ Both the .ts4script and .package files are required. The mod will not work if either is missing.
Configuration
Create deadlystingnyc_auto_makeup.cfg in your Mods folder alongside the .ts4script to customize behavior:
AUTO_FIX=0 ← 1 = apply automatically on first spawn and age-up
FIX_NPCS=1 ← 0 = include NPC Sims in auto-fix (default on)
FIX_PLAYER=0 ← 1 = include player household Sims in auto-fix
FIX_AGE_UP=0 ← 1 = auto-fix makeup when a Sim ages up
FIX_FEMALE=1 ← 0 = include female Sims in auto-fix (default on)
ALLOW_CC=0 ← 1 = include CC makeup parts in the randomization catalog
Config values can also be set in-game with console commands. This will automatically create the .cfg file and changes take effect immediately without restarting your game.
