comment on a personal level lol. It’s really sad that you can’t find use for these presets just because they are not decent enough for you to consider. Au contraire, chunky eyelashes aside, and with a little tweaking, I actually find these new presets useful and quite similar with other I’m pretty sure were real Asians I knew, but go off I guess.
Hey, it's okay to agree to disagree and I definitely disagree. Hence the topic post, lol!

Hello all:
Not sure if this was already brought up as I didn't see it in the topic section, but the most recent patch added a lot of new Asian Eye Presets in the CAS section. I was surprised to see them as I hadn't notice any players ever complaining about wanting this in CAS or just wanting this addition in the game at all.
What also made this addition even more puzzling is the the majority of the eye presets in CAS are already Asian oriented. If anything, we need more of a variety of eye presets for other ethnicities including European, Island, and African types, lol.
Regardless, upon scrolling through these new Asian eye presets, I found that only two were decent enough to use as opposed to rest. The rest of these new Asian presets are really ugly, cartoonish, and completely useless for those of us who like to create sims that look as real as possible.
I mean, honestly, though I am part Asian, I found most of them to be a bit insulting, too. Like in a stereotypical way. Did anyone else have a chance to look through them in CAS? If so, what did you think? I always applaud EA when they try offer up more choices with things in the Sims 4 game. But this one totally missed the mark for me.
I've always found that the Asian modders to do a better job at making Asian sims look more realistic Asian so you might want to look into them. But I guess Maxis is doing this because May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. So I think that's nice.
Yeah, it's too bad they didn't have the modders help design these Asian eye presets. Maybe, they'll consider it in the future.

nooo the new eye presets are beautiful
but i agree its bit weird of them to target " asian eyes presets" only
given that 99% of the base game eye presets just result in creepy looking possessed sims unless you edit the heck out of em
and also that some of these eye presets work just as well for non asian folks so there is really no reason to label them asian in first place just say new eye presets
but either way i am happy to have some presets that don't result in OWO sims
Right, I agree with all your points except only some look nice, but not most. The rest definitely requires a lot tweaking or are useless as I said.

Asian eyes are "insulting" now? ?okay.
I quite like them. And the variety is nice for different types of sim looks. Some want real some want cartoony. I personally always thought we never had enough Asian eyes. I'm south Asian with the big almond eyes. I don't particularly race play but many of my sims "look" East Asian as that's more of the general look I usually have in mind for certain sims, and they are quite happy with the new variety it's lovely!! ??
I never said that Asian eyes are insulting as I have them. I'm saying some of the newest ones that came with the latest patch in the game are insulting. Not sure how you missed that, lol. In terms of having enough, we have plenty and way more than as I said, other ethnicities which is weird since people of all ethnic backgrounds play as well. Not just those of Asian decent.

I really love this new addition.
And as for cartoonish. That's the Sims.
Personally I did NOT find many of the pre-existing eye presets to be Asian, so this is welcome.
If you want realism you need to turn to mod sites that overwrite everything.
I was looking at them and found one or two of these that 'clipped' when a sim blinked - but I suspect that is due to some CC I have that messes with default lashes. A lot of CC out there tends to clip when used outside of a narrow scope.
Restarted my game with all mods turned off, looked at them again - no clipping, no weird ones, they all look great.
In fact when I turned off my mods I found I had about a hundred CC eye presets, and with those gone, the number of the Maxis ones that look Asian is actually still small - but it's balanced now for good diversity.
Perhaps the OP has some CC making these look different than they normally would.
Except, we shouldn't have to turn to mods for better representation and variety, lol. Especially, for as much as we pay for these packs. Just saying.

I’m glad they’ve been added, but I did think some of them looked a bit weird in my game.
As I said, I'm glad whenever EA adds things to CAS. Except I agree that some looked really weird!
The underlying idea of this topic is about EA being more inclusive. But not at the cost of making others feel left out. Thus far, EA is doing better in terms of skin tones, noses, and lips. Now, they need to also work on adding a bigger variety for the eyes and names of npc's or spawned sims. Fingers crossed, they will. will.
