Gonna add to the pile of Sims without CC... but I do use a couple sliders, like 1 jawline one and 2 lip ones maybe, though.

Really don't get the pudding-face thing in your own sims. Townies, sure - they all look kind of bland unless the sliders mess up.
Now, comparing Sims 4 sims to Sims 3 sims? 3 doesn't hold a candle to 4, and I'm not sure everybody knows why, so here's some knowledge...
As far as I know, in the sims 3, you are always going to be changing the same basic face. The eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, cheeks; those are all the exact same model, no matter the preset you choose. It's literally like playing with clay where you can't add or take away any clay, simply push it around. In the sims 4, every Sims' faces are like a bunch of puzzle pieces put together; the pieces being the eyes, nose, cheeks, chin, and jaw. When you choose different presets, the 3D models of the face are swapping out for other 3D models. (That's also why sometimes you see gaps inbetween facial features - some of the 'puzzle pieces' fit together better than others.) The face is fundamentally changing, but it doesn't in the Sims 3.
Comparing Sims 3 and 4
CAS makes Sims 4 the ‘winner’. As for sims though? Not for me. In game they tend to look the same unless you make them really cartoony, a lot gets lost due to facial expressions. And the art style gives them a plastic look, I prefer Sims 3’s texture. A problem in Sims 3 is the fact they didn’t really pay attention to bone structure or ethnics. But sims most definitely don’t have to all look alike. If they did, it wouldn’t be possible to link sims to their creators. In fact I’d be surprised if you can in Sims 4. Sims in 3 somehow have a ‘trademark’ that reveals who created them (if you know the simmer and their sims obviously). Sims in 4 don’t have that trademark, they could be anyone’s.
In 3 faces are a bunch of puzzle pieces as well by the way. That’s why I love playing with genetics in the game. ‘Composing’ a new face by combining the right parents. And the ‘playing with clay’ statement concerning Sims 4 isn’t true, even when it appears that way. It’s all sliders, just like in Sims 3. They just make you control those sliders differently.

this is why i don't play sims 3. In sims 3, no matter how many sliders you I use, or cc you I use, your my sims always look the same. In sims 4, with direct manipulation more options, anything a lot is possible, and there is truly variety.
There, fixed it ;) If that’s all that’s keeping you from playing Sims 3, just ask for some tips.
