@valohim666 , well we all have things we don't like about ourselves. And even when making a SimsSelf there are 2 ways to go about it -- either dead-on accuracy (as much as possible) , or making ourselves what we wished we looked like! ๐คฃ
The great thing about the Sims is that multiple generations and personalities play it! ๐ฅณ Not many video games can say that! ๐คจ
While I play on a PC, I don't use Mods/CC . I hate maintenance and am too easily distracted by CC . I used to play with CC in TS2 and a mod or two as well as CC in TS3. But some CC caused problems, so I deleted all mods and CC . And that was for the best since TS3 had difficulty running anyway. So, I never wanted to have to go through that again, so when TS4 came out, I avoided both Mods and CC. But it is nice to know I have that option!๐ฅณ I have a relative that plays on console and they are limited. ๐
Ah, sounds like some CC creators are doing the old "bait & switch"! ๐ง๐
@PugLove888 Another huge problem with any sort of mods/CC for Sims 4 is that there seems to be so many frequent updates, and with so many updates means the potential for those mods/CC to become outdated and if the creators don't update then what do you do? Plus there are mods that can potentially mess up a save if you remove them, so what happens if you have a mod like that and it doesn't get updated? Then you have to deal with compatibility, not only with the mods and your game version but with compatibility between mods.
I think that's one of the main reasons I stopped playing my PC version and just stuck with it on Xbox. Sure I could add mods on PC, even created a few myself to tweak things I didn't like, but at times I just get tired of dealing with mods. If I remember correctly, my PC version hasn't even been updated since Island Living released or possibly even before that.
Some creators seem to edit their screenshots to deceive, while others use a bunch of other CC to make their sims look a certain way though they never mention the other CC. Unfortunately it seems some people just want downloads, and they don't seem to care what it takes to get them.
@daikoyu You bring up another good point about mods/CC, and that's the people that hide them behind paywalls. When I was really into mods and whatnot for this game, there was nothing that annoyed me more than looking for something only to find that I had to be a part of someone's Patreon or other similar thing just to access their content. Heck I won't even buy the various packs for the game, I play the base game, so what makes these people think I'm going to pay them for a file or two? lol

I was feeling inspired, and since I recently finished watching (and reading) Heartstopper, I thought I would recreate Nick and Charlie. I tried to mix the originals with the looks of the actors in the Netflix series, so Nick is blonder but retains Kit Connor's freckles, and Charlie has olive skin but with Joe Locke's full lips. Are you familiar with Heartstopper?
@valohim666 I don't use CC when I post something in the gallery, because I prefer that the majority of players can download the content I created. I also try to use as few expansion packs as possible, again for the same reason. Is this limiting? Sometimes yes, especially the eye color (which I find a bit flat and too opaque), but I still prefer to work only with original Maxis material.

@GiardiniDiMarzoNever heard of this series, but I think your sims are beautiful. Are both teens in the series? They remember me of teens!
- GiardiniDiMarzo4 years agoLegend@daikoyu Yeah, they're teens both in the graphic novel and in the series. I made them YA so they can be roommates. It's a coming of age story very sweet and positive.

@GiardiniDiMarzo I loved Heartstopper! I didn't read the book but the series was awesome. You did a great job! <3

Tried to recreate Tara Wylde from the game Wylde Flowers.
There was no matching outfit for her, so she got some of the Goth Kit.

I am beginning a quest to find the best genetics in Sims 4. Today I started with a sim I made called Veronica Grant. Her first beau was none other than Sulani stud muffin Makoa Kealoha. (These are not your sims! LOL, don't judge me! LOL).
He has amazing genes..... and they spawned identical triplets LOL
From L to R: Ashton, Phoenix, and River

Veronica is a lovely lady @ChrinnieSims ๐ The triplets are handsome.

@daikoyu and @ChrinnieSims your Sims look great but they've got interesting stories behind them too! It's all about the characters and the storylines.

The Evolution of a Sim.
When I went to create my sim for my Sim Lit, I went through several revisions..... I don't think I ever spent this much time on one sim. Here's kind of where it started and finished.

Your sim is handsome @ChrinnieSims ๐ It is great to see the different stages of him as you were creating him, and to see the differing hairstyles.
