I am not feeling the Charm Family.

Yeah...not a fan of them either, I like Minerva and Darrel, Gemma looks too old to be a teen...definitley giving her a CAS makeover. For the "main" household they're quite bland and boring. Not a fan at all!

Eh, they can look pretty nice with a good makeover.

I don't like the blonde one (esp. her hairstyle), but I'm fine with the rest of them.

Still not happy with Darrel (his face is just... ??? Each seperate part is fine, but the way they work TOGETHER.), but I find they have more charm now.

Really love your makeover for them ... it gives them personality. Before they were kind of bland... more packs make a difference and a little tweaking.
To me Darrel isn't bad the way he came other than that hair.

Great job. I haven't even visited this household yet so I'm moving it to the top of my to list.

I needed that lot for its size and booted them without a second thought.
I didn't even check them out. The house was bulldozed of course.

I played around a bit in CAS with the appearance of Grace Anansi of the Amicable Acolytes household and she actually looks really good regardless of what skin tone is used. Blue was my favourite.

@AHolyToilet The Sims 4 isn't really free of races or let's say cultures. We have hijabs and turbans in the game, just to name two of many examples. There are a lot of different facial features from all around the world in CAS, so that as many simmers (real people of different races and cultures) as possible feel represented.
I get what you mean, and as I said myself, it's their game and they can do whatever they want. But, to get really petty for a moment: The sims we're talking about are premades, so I assume they were created by someone from Maxis. They actually do have little stories. Several, especially the ones from City Living, seem to have different cultural backgrounds. So I wonder: Why change that? Why not make your very own sim instead? Yes, again, their game, their rules. I know. But it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I can't help it.

Well, if it makes you feel any better this whole thread was based solely on aesthetics. They didn't like the appearance of these particular sims so some are putting them through CAS trying to improve their appearance (and as a result their playability) according to their own sense of what looks good. When doing so many probably changed a lot - including skin color in their efforts. I agree with some of it. There ARE some very ugly sims in world of all kinds of races that could use a makeover.

But that's just it - ugly is up to debate. One persons ugly may be another person's beautiful. I think the Grace sim from the Amicable Acolytes household is beautiful just as she is but the way she is designed you can easily change her skin tone and she will still look good. Maybe the person that put the family to a lighter skin tone honestly felt it was an aesthetic improvement and were not racially motivated at all in that opinion.

However, I still think more effort should have been made if that's all they changed before uploading them to the gallery. I expect more from things there.

Little update: Darrel in my game can't seem to get any female Sim pregnant. I left my game's MCC to do work and townies started having babies.. EXCEPT Darrel and Emilia Ernest (she married him and the game then changed it to Charm). I even spammed the try for baby interaction so many times yet Emilia was not pregnant.
So I created some drama and got them divorced and then got him a younger bride (they had all aged to adults due to me playing this save for quite some time) and made them try for baby five times and still she was not pregnant.
