Sims all look the same!
Every time I try to make a sim in Sims 3, they always seem to look the same. Does anyone have any ideas or CC to change this? I'd love to get back into the Sims 3, but I get bored with it because all ...

They say: "the eyes are the windows to the soul" - that and evidently good screencap timing. :mrgreen: :D That's one of the reasons why I mess with the eye sliders to change the shape of the eyes.

Meg Austin (this sim), was in a love triangle (in this story) - She was in love with Tosh, but Kimber made the first move on him and got him. This was her reaction upon being stuck in the same room with him. Yeah, this may have been an Idle...but it was the perfect idle for the moment. You can sense that she's not happy; that the emotions are churning inside her (yes, they may be pixels, but they can touch the soul).
The only Sims that I don't change facially for my saves are the sims that are originally in the game: all others are fair game. I do however change their hair and makeup.

Take for example River McIrish...I changed hair, cc eyes and applied makeup and a rather blah sim became...

With my sims, I tend to work around their eyes and change the shape of them for different characters. I don't hesitate to apply facial sliders, headshape...no slider is off limits.
That's how I got Master Gunnery Sergeant Stacker

I made him into your typical chew nails and spit napalm Master Guns.
I'm still trying to perfect Bud Roberts (from JAG) I need to look at more pictures of Patrick Labyorteux.

Most of my JAG sims tend to have the same haircut - they're in the military and there's limited hairs suitable for military sims. What I'd really like to see is some content creators try to concentrate on some male short hair...really short hair rather than some boy band hair, but I guess that's what's popular. Or I guess I'd better start looking into designing my own military-hair for sims.

These two screenshots were why my Mushroom Cloud Chronicles game crashed... Evidently 45+ sims on ONE lot on a mid-range consumer PC is not what one should be doing in Sims 3. Who knew? :mrgreen: >:) As I said no changes were made to original sims from Sunset Valley other than clothes.

Yes, the guy on the far right is Bob Pancakes' dad. :D I created him as a kind of a tip of the hat to TS4. (I don't own it, never will).

Yes, having THAT many sims in one lot caused my game to not like me very much.

I've tried to remain true to the actors who played the roles in JAG. Namely David James Elliott, Tracey Needham, Catherine Bell (was created by Audrey from Mod the Sims) and I just changed her clothes to her role as COL (she was promoted... at least in my story) Sarah Mackenzie.

One of my favorite sims is Command Master Chief Jennifer Coates (left) - if anybody has watched JAG, they will probably remember her as Legalman One Coates. Yes, she got promoted too.
I try not to make sims look similar as they all have their own characterization that I utilize, hence no sliders are off limits. I'll drag head shape to give the sim a head that is slightly taller (facial feature wise) than is normal.
Kimber and Tosh don't look the same. :D By any stretch of the imagination. :D

Outside of waiting for my "Laggy Beast" to open each CAS clothing type tab, I'm happy with my sims. :D I like making them and I like making each one individually different.
