Least fav CAS trend?

My least favourite trend. All those skirts well above the knee and those shorter trousers. I want more knee length skirts for my older women and long length trousers for my men.

Mid length dresses, too. Under the knee slightly. Saw a thread, Reddit saying those were granny dresses, I wear those... Nothing is wrong with dressing how somebody wants if they are an adult, but I cover myself more. Really not the biggest of my worries, thought you might relate.

I generally don't care what other people do with their games. That's their business. However I, like all others, have preferences and thus I personally dislike certain things. I'm not really aware of "trends" since I don't use the library to download sims but overall these are the type of things I dislike.


- Hyper realism / Alpha CC. Just has this off-putting uncanny valley look which, ironically, ends up looking more fake than realistic. Can work in still images I guess but during gameplay I find it a really ill fit due to how cartoony TS4 is from world design to exaggerated animations and such.

- Toddlers who are so decked up on cc that they look like mini adults instead of toddlers. Some give them like this really long stylish hair and even makeup. Just... no.

- Copy-paste faces / everyone is a super model. I especially love how some people go like: "I fixed these townies." which actually translates to: "I erased every unique feature of them and made them all traditionally pretty + stylish". Like, you do you but I don't have to like it. We all have our types so it's no surprise if certain things might repeat in our games (I'm guilty of that too) but I just find it really freaking boring when every sim looks the same. I like some distinct features, not every sim needs to look traditionally beautiful/handsome either. TS4 is the first one in the series which let's you give your sims unique bodyshapes too so I say take advantage of that.

Super alpha cc babies and toddlers freak me out because a lot of them either look like tiny adults or forensic recreations from the NamUs database.

The only premades that need to be “fixed” are probably the ones like Christie Sigworth and Evie Delgato. It’s possible to have sims with big eyes or ears without going that far. Christie’s jaw/chin is unbelievably tiny. Some other premades like Bob Pancakes or Eric Lewis have really scrawny bodies under maxed/nearly maxed sliders, which is a weird choice.

I like dressing Sims more modest like that too. I don't care for the crop top trend either. I cover myself more too. I don't like showing my belly other than with swimwear and I wear my skirts and dresses mid length or longer. Shopping can be tough sometimes and I end up going to Goodwill. I don't care for guys or girls showing underwear with their pants too.

I have two that really get to me.

• CC. Specifically alpha cc. I don't use cc at all in my game currently but alpha cc is just too stylized for me. Especially when I go to download a sim with a bunch of alpha cc because I like the way they look and its a completely different sim underneath it all.
  
• Using the wrong hashtags just to get your sim seen by more people. I get so frustrated when i'm looking for a certain kind of sim using a hashtag and all these sims that have nothing to do with said hashtag pop up. What's even the point of me filtering then?

I wish they’d implement some punishment system for the people who insist on using the hashtags for packs they didn’t use.

In this thread: CAS poses & Alpha
Me: *cries*

You do you. If CAS poses and alpha are your jam, don't let this thread hurt your feelings. I felt the same in the build thread because everything they hate is what I do. Oh well...good thing I create for me first. ?

highwaisted skirt > any other skirt
highwaisted pants > any other pants
long shirt > any other shirt
mid length dresses>barely covering booty dresses

croptops? :bawling: not again sims team we have freaking enough
sleeveless? cute but seems bit cold.... my sims don't all live in sulani

I’m not a fan of cas or the gallery cas but what I have noticed a lot seem to have these silly poses and look like Instagram sims which I hate so much. It’s hard to find “normal” sims.

Small heads. :# I know it sounds terrible but my sims all end up having huge skulls to fit all the lack of brains, and small heads just look so dramatic next to them. I always have the end up resizing if I download from the gallery, so for the most part I stick to builds...which I also end up not using since my sims are homebodies but whatever.
