Red cheeks, thick lips, vitligo, heterochromia etc all in one

I avoid that website like the plague. I once got called racist because i was playing a black legacy as a white simmer.

My sim married the black premade from discover university because I thought he was cute and I liked his major.

I believe they said I was basically doing digital blackface ?

Toxicity thrives on tumblr and twitter lol. I avoid all the text and just download cc

Holy heck...they surely wouldn't like my colorful world of sims of all races that I play.

What the actual ffff? I’m so sorry you had to go through that @Zeldaboy180

@StrawberryYogurt lol tumblr Sims are just a whole other breed imo. Like duplo to lego lol. I honestly don’t want to know what thought processes they had to lead them into making—err stylistically varied Sims unless they replace every other townie with those buck-toothed, beady-eyed bobbleheads with a bus horn for a nose.

Back to the topic, that would be my least fave CAS trend. In hopes of simulating a tween life-state, some Simmers have resorted to presets that shorten the Sim and make their heads larger I guess it looks ok for storytelling? But don’t you have to like manually set them back to regular presets once they age into teens? I imagine it being hella annoying to do to everyone.

I tried out that preset and yeah, my sim aged to teen with the weirdest proportions and his head was HUGE! I had a heck of a time getting him back to normal proportions and he still doesn't look right. I think I ruined about 5 of my favorite kids with that stupid preset.

Oh no. Those poor kids! Now that is a trend that needs to go.

I would say cc skin overlays. The problem I have is that not everyone has that overlay and when you download it the sim won’t look like how you see it in portrait. That includes cc pieces. I use custom poses but that’s only because more people seem to gravitate towards sims with custom poses. (I’m really good with CAS *knocks on wood* but custom poses gets them attention). I do not understand why some people are popular on the gallery when all they make is something deceiving. I kinda dislike custom poses (even though I use them) because they seem to make your sims LOOK better than they actually do.

And what in the WORLD makes people download clone like sims off of someone’s catalog???

? People are so weird. I don’t even know what to think of tumblrites. I stay far away from that site and also Twitter.

Skilled Sims. I don't want max'd out sims in my game. They're not fun to play. Wish they could be dialed back but then again it's not the end of the world not to use a sim.

It's the presentation. People, no matter who or what, will always choose the thing that is presented better, even if the item is actually worse. Pictures matter. I don't understand why Maxis made the gallery pictures so awful.

I agree. The default pictures are hideous.
