I may be irrationally angry about the way lip sizes are handled on TS4.Not everyone has such WIDE mouths! Some people have small pouty lips and I can't get these lips to look DECENT. They get all SMOOSHED when I try to "re-size" them! *grabs pitchfork* AND I'M SICK OF THE BIG LIPS ON HERE. THEY DON'T FORM THE WAY I WANT. THEY GLITCH OUT WHEN I TRY TO MANIPULATE THEM. AND I ALSO WANT MORE LIPS WITHOUT A DRAMATIC CUPID'S BOW.

My advice: Stay away from the Gallery if you don’t like big lips.

https://i.imgur.com/eiMDhkt.jpg I like the way the shape of these lips look. But they're too wide/big for my liking. I'd like to scale them down a bit!https://i.imgur.com/emyIIZK.png Nope, he has to look like he's making a duck-face

You know what the other issue is? Lip colour. A lot of people (me included) have pink or red lips that aren't necessarily tied to the colour of someone's skin tone. In Sims, I have to simulate that with makeup, which throws the textures off and looks horrendous if I try to do it with male sims. And my computer can't handle cc, which means there's no solution.

That's odd, I've never had a problem with getting the look I was after. I would use the small lips, they have more potential for reshaping than the bigger ones do. Have you tried them all?

Yes, I've tried them all. I like the look of the bigger lips, since they're more "plump". But every time I resize them, they glitch out and lose the shape. Which is why I'd like to have a way to resize without having to manually manipulate the shape to seem smaller. Like the eyes and noses. You're able to resize them without touching the shape.

I wonder if there are some ways of resizing the lips you haven't tried that. I find them to actually be more adaptable than the noses. Have you tried pulling in the entire lower jaw? Have you tried resizing each lip individually? Have you tried resizing them both in regular view and in detail view?

The problem isn't too big/full. The problem is too wide.
I have no problem changing the shape of the lips, for the most part (besides the fuller lips that glitch on me). I have trouble changing the length without it being all squished together. There's no way to have smaller lips (I'm not talking about THINNER) without it looking strange.
