Sorry for coming back to you so late but your answer just slipped through.
Has you solved the issue in the meantime?
If not follow this instruction:
1. Start the installer you extracted and follow the instructions.
After that all newly created sims will automatically use the new nude skin.
For existing Sims and neighbourhoods you have to do the following additional steps:
2. Start the Sims 3, choose your Sim in play mode and send him/her to a mirror and chose "change appearance". Make a minor change and save (click on the check mark).
3. Send your Sim to a dresser and chose "plan outfit", again make a small change to each and every outfit associated with your Sim and save (click on the check mark).
4. Enjoy natural Sims!
You have to do steps 2 and 3 for every custom Sim.
Have Fun
