A CC skin may help if you don’t like the vanilla look, it won’t help to solve the OP’s problem imo. I see a lot of CC covered sims looking alike as well (and a lot of skins I find uglier than vanilla myself, so that’s clearly a matter of preference). Where it comes to creating variety it does come down to pulling sliders. I disagree a vanilla sim will automatically look like plum (which isn’t what the OP is adressing by the way).
I agree with you :)
I typed my response out very late so probably did not articulate enough. Lol
Also I agree with your thoughts on certain CC skins looking...not so great. Some of the skins make sims have a weird, greasy and shiny look to them :D
I have this same problem too actually as my sims all tend to look the same after a while. In fact I got so bored with having a sameness to my game that I started playing with aliens and other random supernaturals. They definitely have faces only a mother can love :p

So, OP, if you are still reading this just start experimenting with spiders. SLIDERS. I mean sliders. Autocorrect makes me giggle. lol.
Anyway, they truly make all the difference. But I’m just re-stating the obvious so I’ll just bow out of here before I ramble anymore. :P
I must add I really like there are so many different skins out there (I use kurasoberina’s primer myself now) because it makes all our games look unique, even when we’re all playing the same game. I think a common ‘trap’ is that we all have our preferences where it comes to looks, so we tend to create our sims that way. I did a test once on a Dutch forum, where I asked simmers - we knew each other and each other’s creations/stories very good) - to create two new sims, a male and a female, and send them to me. Then I posted them in random order and people had to guess who had created them. The results were remarkable, most people guessed right and linked the right sims to the right forum members ;) (mind you, it wasn’t multiple choice, just showing the sims and they had to fill in names themselves)
(experimenting with spiders, LOL, glad you corrected that :D )
