Premades that age up badly

any sim I age up sports bad clothing/makeup/hair decisions so I change those
but I am trying to not do too much about their actual bodies and faces since I often end up making my sims unrealistic once i start (oops)
except necks I almost always make thinner since everyone in this game seems to have giant neck and ???

Oh my?

Yes Christie Sigworth is quite alarming when she ages up.

Literally all my premades age up to be really ugly.

To be honest, I think Christy is actually kind of pretty. She's got very unique features. It came as a huge surprise when I first saw her but she's in my game so often that I've got used to them and once I overcame my surprise I've gotten used to her and rather like her features for their uniqueness. She's married to one of my Sims now and I think they have a couple of kids together but MCC has kind of messed that up LOL. Because she also ended up having kids with his brother and his brother's wife ended up having kids with him and they all live together in one house apparently. I thought to confuse his kids were whose and which ones were brought into the marriage and stop playing the family LOL

i just find ageing up process so fascinating for some reason. i often find myself making random children in CAS, messing around with their features, and ageing them up to see what they'd look like. that side of the game has always been fascinating to me, this thread is great

Right @logion?! I HATE that the devs edit them as kids.
First: they lose their parent genetics. Second: They look horrible when they grow up. If you want a cute kid to grow up as a cute sim you need to randomize the parents child as teenagers to know how they are going to look like, then you turn them into kids. In Sims 3 all kids would grow up to have big eyes and weird face shapes because someone thought they would look cuter as kids with bigger eyes.
Like... if you, devs, wanted the kids to be cuter having bigger eyes, why you didn't apply that to their 3D models instead of messing up with their genetics later?! Urgh

I feel like the developers don’t even use the genetics option sometimes, because the premades with kids end up aging completely different looking

lucas munch and max villareal. always liked how elsa and alexander turned up.

Yeah, maybe I'm weird, but my first thought was "Wow she's beautiful."

I play the families rotationally and mine aged up ok....I think, all I change is non-cosmetic stuff, like hairstyle, eyebrows and make up
