Unpopular Opinion

So started playing Sims 3 again recently. Either it is a new skin or I just like the way the characters look more for some reason. I thought it was just my family because I sculpted their faces myself. But then I went to the townies to give makeovers and I found myself actually liking the way they looked, except for maybe their style. Can a good skin really make that much of a difference? I can try to add pictures later, but might be hard because my laptop is acting crazy..
