Sims all look the same!

It's not necessary to use the household bin on the NRaas SP source of genetics options, that's only one of the three different possible sources for sims' genetics that are applied as they spawn. Some players really like the seed the bin feature, others like me can't stand using it and keep it switched off. Although I've had some funny rapid immigration accidents happen with bin stored households being used too much over the years when I forgot to set things the way I thought I already had.

The other two sources are:
-- Random Sim Generation. This is EA's way and does tend to lead to zero-slider sims. It can also be switched off, but I keep it at around 10 or 15% because in real life some people are indeed "plain" looking.

-- Existing Sims in the World Get Used (to create temporary parents/genetic donors who are then discarded behind the scenes). If your world is already full of diverse looking sims, this option will give you more and with blending taking place. If it is already full of zero-slider sims, you will get more of those. This is the option I tend to favor.

What I like starting out with is an Elder Sim. :blush:

I random them and start to make them look interesting and then age the down to an adult... and giggle. :lol:

Down to a teen and edit, up to an adult and laugh.

Down to a child and edit back up to an adult- that's when I start to make them over. It gives me some interesting Sims- not always good.

I like aging them up and down to see how they'll look. :)

@Rflong7 , That sounds like my kind of fun!! :D >:)

this is why i don't play sims 3. In sims 3, no matter how many sliders you use, or cc you use, your sims always look the same. In sims 4, with direct manipulation, anything is possible, and there is truly variety.

@annabethc Did you look at all these post and come to that conclusion, then perhaps I can point you to a eye doctor, I do believe that you need your eyes tested.

no, I didn't read the replies.

Sims sure do all look the same

@Mikezumi - I think that chicken could use a makeover. It looks the same in both screenshots to me and suspect that it is zero slider (difficult to tell since not facing the game camera). >:)

@igazor Given my love of tweaking, if I could give the chicken a makeover I definitely would ;)

I have the same problem, I always make similar looking Sims :D

What a cute genie ! <3

I wasn't aiming for "cute" @Pary ;) but thanks :) I actually chose my recently made Jason Momoa because I thought his face was harder than my usual sims.
