Do you have Sims w/out CC?

I was on Twitter recently—my first mistake—and I noticed a lot of people claiming that Sims 3 sims are ugly unless you have cc (and some say ugly no matter what).

While I love cc, I recently made a sim without it (aside from her freckles) and I think she's still quite pretty!

Anyway, I'm curious what pretty sims some of you have made without cc that can break the 'ugly sims' stereotype?

(BTW, it wasn't until making this sim that I realized just how awesome those World Adventures eyeliners are. I'd always avoided them, but given a less bold color and lowering the opacity allows for some really pretty makeup!)

  • @S_Empress I can't speak for others but, in my case, it's not that I think that CC free sims are all ugly but that I am unable to achieve the look that I want without CC, especially when trying to make a sim based on a real life person. For some, it's a matter of styling sims to their own taste.

    How shallow these peeps gotta be to think CC-free sims are all ugly, man? :D


    they just dont know how to use the sliders properly and begin to blame the sims 3 for its 'ugly' sims.
  • @izecson, I've always stated "Learn to use the sliders..." The custom content only augments what I can do with the sim AFTER I make the sim with sliders.

    NO excuses for not learning "how to use the sliders."

    I just don't particularly feel like pulling my entire mods folder out every time I create a sim. But rest assured I can use my sliders just fine.

    I personally think that the default sims are pretty, they are like Barbie and Ken (Except certain pre-mades).

    Right, i agree with this part! This might seem crazy but i am in a phase right now where i feel like i prefer the look of the vanilla sims. I agree they can be made to give the vibes of some of the barbie movies, which is something i personally like right now. I find that type of look cute.

    ...then when she gets hit across the head with the custom content stick.
