How To Not Pudding Face

@Mstybl95 Getting back to your original question about how to make sims not look the same, be mindful of who your sims marry. It's been a long time since I played a save that has gone for 17 generations but I do remember finding partners for my sims' offspring was quite difficult after a few generations and, back in the day, I probably married service sims into the family in desperation. I am very slow at adding EPs, although I own them all, so didn't have genies or IFs in my game and I don't know what you have done for partners in your game but marrying service sims, IFs and genies into your family could cause sims to look alike since they are all zero slider sims. Looking closely at your sims I see that your sims don't look like zero sliders but it could be that you have picked heirs that were clones of a parent you favoured and that, too, can cause sims to look the same after a while. I know I am guilty of having favourite features on a sim that sway me to pick a particular heir.

As for going forward with making new sims, just work the sliders. Basing sims on real people is a good way to get sims that look diverse too and I find it helps with a more realistic feature placement. Here are some of my boys :)

Dang, your sims look like real people!

I have a hard time getting new genetics in my game. Once in a while I think about downloading new sims, but the CC usually makes me stop. I'm kind of picky about what I put in my game. What are your sliders set to? I feel like there is no way I could get my sims to have those features. Usually when I move the sliders even a tiny bit, my sims end up with jagged cheekbones and deformities.
