Sims 3 Mozart vs Sims 4 Mozart

Not sure whether to post this in the sims 3 forums or the sims 4 forums because this pertains to both.

I have made a sim to look like Mozart in both Sims 3 and Sims 4. I don't think I will get the 2 curls on either side without custom content being installed.

Here is my sims 3 attempt:

As you can see by the clothing I was able to find pants cropped just below the knee which are the kind of pants I have seen every time I look at a picture that shows Mozart down to the shoes such as this picture:

I was also able to find a red jacket with the lace at the center like I see in almost every Mozart picture

And here is the face of my sims 3 attempt:

Here is my sims 4 attempt:

Unlike the other one, this has gold around the edges but everything else in my sims 3 attempt is not there in my sims 4 attempt.

And here is his face:

Another difference is that in Sims 3, I have him as a young adult and in Sims 4, I have him as a teen, don't know if you can tell that just from the pictures though.

Which attempt do you think better reflects Mozart as a sim?

    I wasn't sure which one to vote for - the face of your Sims 4 Mozart looks more like Mozart to me, but the clothes and hair are perhaps better on the Sims 3 version.

    But have you seen the King of France hair and the Dress for Dinner outfit from the Versailles set in the Sims 3 store? They would be perfect for Mozart!
  • You're in a sims 3 thread, so... There's an obvious, preference, hehe.
  • I vote TS3 for the sake of the clothing items that are more similar than the TS4 version, but I join @PalmArrow - check the sets she mentioned!

    Physically, Mozart had a quite distinctive nose, protruding eyes with arched eyebrows and a tiny, curled mouth. You will need to tweak your sims some more, they are too pretty! :)

    I tend to lean towards the TS3 version over the TS4 one.

    Here's a little Mozart piano inspiration (Mozart Piano Sonata in A major, Number 11, K.331)... @Caters... my piano teacher tossed me this one to learn...a few decades ago.

    Me, I'm still looking for hair to match THIS guy's. If I find it... HALLELUJAH! :D

    Good luck finding hair to match Handel or Bach. I think those 2 will be the hardest to make in Sims 3 or Sims 4.
  • @Nikkei_Simmer Knowing Louis XIV started this hairstyle fashion because he lost his own hair very young, just make him bald! :joy:
  • Apparently this painting comes closest to how Mozart really looked:

    According to his wife.

    Although not necessarily I suppose, I must confess this indeed may apply for me, because I just prefer Sims 3 sims in general. And this is no exception.

    ETA:
    Must... add... this, because it will never seize to give me shivers down my spine.




    Mozart never actually heard this, just in his own mind. He died before he could finish it.

    I´m biased. :p
    But I also like your Sims 4 version. As said before, if you choose female clothing, there are better options for trousers and shoes.
    The Palace of Versaille set is routinely on the daily deal.
  • If you allow access to female clothing options, there are quite a number of knee length capris AND leggings you can use to imitate the pants and the white stockings in TS4. I also believe Laundry Day and Cats/Dogs added some men's capris. You can also use the women's Mary Jane shoes to mimic Amadeus' shoes in that picture you have.
  • I think the use of the breeches and hairstyle make the TS3 sim a closer match. I too would recommend using items from the Palace set.

    @Nikkei_Simmer as far as I understand my history European men only wore big elaborate wigs on more formal occasions. Other than that they dressed and powdered their own natural hair, or wore a plain wig with natural hair close cropped underneath. It is the poor ladies I feel sorry for, their hair tended to be natural, dressed and powdered. What makes me sorry is the fact the hair was rarely washed and was quite often full of fleas and lice.
