Fully skilled sims. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I like to play the game and over time build up my sims skills, if they're fully skilled already they're just unplayable for me :s

Yes, I just don't get it. What's the point of having those sims in game? Even as townies — they are everywhere!

To fill in some 'employee spots' for mods like littlemssam's auto-employees, sims will need a skill of 5 in various tasks.

But not maxed out, and certainly not in everything.

So... I do go through my townies, pick some of them, and '5 them up' so they will show up as caterers, baristas, comedians, etc and not my played sims when I'm on a different one...

OMG yes.

Anytime in anything, RL or Sim or anywhere, that I see the term 'Baby Girl' I just get annoyed. Unless your sim is a toddler, that phrase is not correct... Same with all the "daddy this and that" stuff which is just somewhere between Epstein and European nobility / inbred backwoods in my mind and all kinds of wrong...

I've just found another one: a highlighter (that was added recently) on every single popular sim on the gallery.
Don't get me wrong, I think the highlighter is cute, but it's overused & also too obvious on these sims, like instagram contouring that looks weird in reality.

Highlighter? Can you post a screenshot? I'm looking at the gallery by 'most popular', 'popular now', and flipping Maxis curated on and off, and not seeing any difference. Wondering what this one is.

Once seen, it cannot be unseen.

Now I'm gonna be looking for that on everything. ;)

I only play with my own sims or ones from the Maxis packs. I'm too prolific at making sims to need to download any.

I'm not into any extreme trends for sims. The berry sims, extremely ugly sims and "barbie" sims are not for me.

Most of my sims are normalish or beautiful with quirks that make them interesting. My cliche is to have smart, attractive but possibly a bit average sims with strong interests in something or some way in which they have personalities. A lot of them are "spunky", I guess. They usually have back stories of some sort. Sometimes I'll get interested in pre-mades but at this point, they're just joining my existing game. An example would be that I've played with sims like the Elderberries. For a while, Bjorn was very popular in my game. I've also played with Judith Ward and have a whole back story for her; I almost want to age her down a life stage so that she can have a hot mess of a life for longer.

I'm basically not paying attention to any trends. If I want to play a household, I do. Sometimes I'll ignore them a while and then randomly decide to incorporate them.

:the sims skin tones look red
:alpha cc

As for CAS itself, I like the changes they've made to it. As they broaden the options, it gets more fun to make sims. However, I do download sims from the gallery from time to time but of course, they do not have cc. I don't download Sims with CC anymore anywhere but my biggest pet peeve with the gallery is that if you download a sim with CC from the gallery and you don't have the cc in your sims folder, your sims end up bald, too skinny, and in their underwear. Most of us get this. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people who upload their creations to the gallery understand this nor do a lot of the players attempting to download it. I see so many that give 0 credit to the creator of the CC so you have no idea where to get said CC and then the comments end up being "where did you get the hair, I love that top where did you get it?" or the ever funny "I downloaded this sim and it looks nothing like the picture" and no response from the creator. No matter how good a sim is, if there is CC without some sort of credit given to the creator of the CC, I will not favorite it or even give it a second glance.

I also #hate #hate #hate the 5000 hashtags people put in their descriptions. Calling your own creation #beautiful #cute etc. is stupid (IMO). Does anyone actually search for #beautiful? Beauty is objective LOL.

I also abhor the HQ mod. It makes picking out cc clothing, eys, hair, etc. difficult if they don't offer a non-HQ mod alternative.

I also agree that the trend of making toddlers look like teenagers in small bodies is also a no-go for me. I actually like the Maxis toddlers and their clothing so I don't download any of that stuff. I'd rather have them be born in-game anyway.

Super red blush that's on a good portion of the face, including a bright red nose. Normal people do not constantly have a blush that looks as if they've just had the most embarrassing moment of their life. :D
