So, I did the resculpt yesterday and opted not to change my skin tone.

In game, my character portrait looks how it should, without the tone changed. However the in game avatar, and forum use a new much more fair complexion that I did not intend.

The portrait used in the forums is how she appears post-resculpt, yet my portrait in game still shows how I intended her to be (freckles yes, pale skin no)

You can see the in game portrait here: http://imgur.com/YTBHc

Please compare them side to side to see the difference.

If it comes down to an issue of being I have to stick with this, then fine, but people should know what the skin tone change will be, and I definitely did not select that one. She's fair skinned, not a damn vampire.

Also evidenced by this screenshot: http://imgur.com/jVwSx Notice the difference between her ingame color, and the portrait color. Someone want to explain that one to me?

You can also see her pre-sculpt as of a few days ago here: Eve-Portraits notice the lack of freckles and accurate skin tone.

I have a similar issue.

Just came back to the game and it put me in the sculpt character edit mode.

It wasn't working quite right and my screen went black a couple of times.

I am not sure how but I ended up in the hanger, with everything but the face I was trying to make, and now I can't fix it.

If I can't re-do this, I may not play. This is ridiculous, making this a one-shot, no way to fix it system. You should at least get a few tries first. I was looking forward to re-activating my pilot, and the new customization was a big attraction, but now its sorta ruined for me. I don't have the time or will to level up another pilot like him. Damn shame they make such a glaring but easily fixable error in an otherwise fine game.

Try bug reporting it and see what happens.
