@BrittanyChick22 and @JoAnne65, thank you both for the lovely compliments. :blushing:
Those are some of my current favorites. Especially the girl with the wavy hair in the last pic. I love the way she turned out. :blush: I work pretty hard on every sim I make. I actually played CC free for years, so I got really used to working with the sliders and concentrating on facial structure and features.
I do think that the Sims in TS3 can look beautiful, even without CC. While I think TS4's sims are nice, I like the softness of TS3. I enjoy messing around with TS4's CAS, but I haven't created many sims that I just love, that I look at and can't wait to play. I feel that way all of the time in TS3, though for some reason. Maybe part of it has to do with the customization. The push and pull CAS may be more modern than the sliders, but a lot of other things about customization have fallen by the wayside.
