@Nikkei_Simmer All the sims in your pictures look nice and interesting in their own way, don't call them ugly to their (and our) face :smile:
@Mort_Opal Small things in CAS can make a big difference even without CC. The premades in the game and the first suggestion in CAS when starting a new game give off an impression of two-dimensionality. This is often because all their features are flat on the surface and are placed in the center of the face, and if you look at an ya/adult IRL this is rarely the case (more like of a child's/doll's looks).
Dragging out the features to the sides of the face/head, and creating a varied profile in terms of depth, often makes the sims look more alive and personalized.
