The new Sims 4 update was said to be long expected ever since August when the game's very own executive producer known as Lindsay Pearson actually responded to a certain request with a video uploaded to Twitter. This is where they acknowledged that the new Sims 4 had actually fallen short on its goal to be as inclusive of a game as possible.

According to Pearson, the game developers hear the request and they have also recognized that they have not been able to do enough in order to address the different variety of skin tones as well as hair styles expected to be found in The Sims 4. The new update also allows players to adjust saturation, hue, value or brightness, as well as opacity according to the official The Sims 4 forums.
