Do you give your Sim children plastic surgery if they don't look pretty enough for you?

I wasn't really sure what option to pick but I always give them CC skin overlays like all my other sims. Sometimes I edit small things that bother me but I usually wait until they're young adults since their faces can change a lot sometimes.

Depends what you mean by plastic surgery. I have changed the eye colour and hair styles and possible minor features such as eye brows at most. However this is only for the sims that have descended from my simself in my main save. Other sims I don’t mind changing as they are background sims.

@netney52
What I meant by plastic surgery I meant pretty much the same thing than in real life, like changing their face or body.
I myself only change the hair and clothes. When the kids grow up I may change their eyebrows if they look weird (it depends on the Sim, sometimes weirdness suits on their personality).
There has been only one time when I fixed a child's facial features. It was a long time ago when my male Sim had a child, a girl, with Zoe Patel. The girl had something wrong with her nose and upper lip, they were almost joined together. I lowered her mouth a bit and I regretted it later. She could have been unique looking Sim.

I do edit their looks, but it's not to make them prettier, it's more to make them the way I need them to for a certain character as most of my Sims are based around characters from stories I've written and I want them to look how I've described them in the story. Sometimes that is "Prettier" but just as often it's not.

(If it's not a game born "character" but just a random child Sim that I hadn't pictured first I usually only edit hair style and clothing)

Only if they turn out weird looking.

I only change the head size if my girl had a big head.

I normally don't change them with plastic surgery. A new haircut and some pretty clothes can make a big difference, no need for surgery. I always wait until they are adults before I even consider plastic surgery and the vast majority of my sims can stay as they are.

I usually do really small, not that noticeable changes (such as slightly lifting the eyelids). I also sometimes change the way they look to make them look more like one of their parents.

I can't remember ever changing children.. not because they are pretty or not but because they usually look pretty much the same.. except for skin, hair color ect. I actually like it if their features are different than the norm. I'm sure if they came out in a way that didn't fit my story though I would without hesitation. Like if I needed a red headed child for example.

I sometimes change teenagers because that's when the problems show up for me. I often play male and female caricatures and the genetic mix is often pretty bad. If the father is a slim hipped, jutting jaw, hooked nosed, barrel chested brute and he marries a perky nosed, heart shaped face, voluptuous woman the chance of their teens turning out somewhat symmetrical is pretty close to zero. Sometimes though they are still left as is also, it just depends on what's going on in the game... it's really not about pretty. It's about the story.

I never edit the kiddos when they are born in my game.

I do however take a look in CAS and randomize a few children just to see what their combined genetics look like beforehand. Some sims go on to try for kiddos, some start collecting cats instead.

I usually just leave it be when it comes to the kiddos. Sometimes I'll change their hair color, but that's as far as I'll go. I don't edit them after they become adults either unless making them exercise to lose weight counts. I don't just edit them into skinny people in cas. They got to hit the gym if they want that six pack.
