Sims 3 sims have the best facial expressions

You can really see the emotion in them and what they're thinking at times, the facial expressions in this game are so well done. I never really notice them except in moments like these where they are really highlighted

Their expressions make you really feel for them.

Post some pics of your sims' facial expressions in siduations

  • This is what I love about Sims 3 too. The subtlety of the expressions and the low-key reactions that make scenes like this possible.

    Taking a bite out of her fish, she commented, "This isn't bad fish, is it? I like the taste."
    "Yeah, with red herring, you gotta watch the bones..." Animal replied picking a bone out from between his teeth, "Maybe if the bones sit long enough they'll become brittle enough to become fertilizer for any plants..."

    Butch looked soberly at him, the hard-edged competent naval officer was gone and the look of a scared mid-twenties young woman replaced her, "You think we're going to be here for a long time?"

    Animal didn't want to frighten her, but he also had to prepare her mentally for that eventuality. "I hope not..." he said finally, "But the possibility is there that we may not be found."

    "...and what happens in that eventuality?"

    Their expressions make this exchange take it to another level.

    Unlike a certain iteration of the Sims game, you're not fighting the over-exaggerated expressions just to be able to tell a story...and I'm not even using Moviemakercheatsenabled; this all came from watching the sim and taking a screenshot when their expression matched my story or vice versa tailoring my story to match the expression. Thank goodness for low-key expressions.

  • When they have facial expressions they're pretty great, but I'm also tired of bland idles and the same three talking animations too after so many years. That being said, the wedding animations are the PERFECT amount of melodrama and cheese. I unironically adore them.

    And the hand waving that seems like they're freakin' plastered on fermented juice drives me effing nuts. But I'll take what I can get for the subtle facial expressions.
