I am not feeling the Charm Family.
I don't know what it is about this household, but when I took a look at them I was like meh. I'm just not feeling this household, and this is a first for me in this game. The household consist of an...

i saw someone at the gallery who just turned the whole family white. yep. they made gemma charm white and called it a "makeover".
i get it some people may not like the original family, but to go as far as to make them white? sis...
I'm sorry. I don't understand fully what the issue is. Is it because they didn't really do any change except to recolor their skin and then pass it off as their own creativity by uploading them to the gallery? I can see why that would be irritating. The gallery is supposed to be for original creations we create from scratch.
However, sometimes a skin tone change can make a bland sim go from "meh" to "WOW!" I haven't seen these particular sims with a white skin tone so I don't know if I would like the look or not. Too pale and they may look sickly - unless you are going for a very stereotypica Nordic look with pale skin, hair and eyes - which can be very dramatic looking.
I don't know though - skin color really doesn't make a difference to me too much and I have sims of all colors. I do think that more effort should be put into things we submit to the gallery than just changing a premade sims skin tone and being done with it though.
I agree. It's hopelessly absurd to get upset over people changing the skin color of fictional characters in THEIR game that they bought. By that same logic, me making Venessa Jeong, again, a fictional character that you're supposed to do whatever you wish with, have features consistent with a black or asian woman makes me a racist. Or if I made her hair longer, I must hate people with short hair. I understand the reuploading, but who cares if they changed the skin? It's a Sim. They don't have a race to begin with.
Annoyed tangent aside, I too am disappointed with the Charm family and most of the other premades. I tried to make Gemma look decent, but I could never be satisfied with her look, so I ended up abandoning the idea. I may try to return to her again, however. And I still can't find the pale woman with the green hair in the trailer. I really wanted her.
