How to Change Skin Color in Animal Crossing: New Leaf
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you can't directly change your skin color through an in-game menu like you can in New Horizons. Your skin tone changes based on how much sun you get - so if you want a darker tone, spend more time outside during sunny days. For a lighter tone, avoid the sun and stay indoors!

Sadly, you can't just select your skin color from a menu in New Leaf. Tanning by spending time in the sun is your go-to. A bit of a missed opportunity for customization, if you ask me.
Just hit the beach and soak up some rays! Spend enough time out in the sun, and you'll notice your character's skin getting a tan. It's the only way to change your skin color in New Leaf, so get your virtual sunscreen ready.
