Show me your beloved, ugly sims!

So all this "oh noes, middle aged people have lines??" talk has got me wondering how many people actually enjoy playing sims who aren't pretty? Not necessarily just to make fun of them, but like, do you have one tubby balding guy that you're just really fond of because he reminds you of your goofy uncle, or a kid that grew up with a nose like a bulldog but you just love her anyway? I want to see pics, and tell me about them!

I present for your consideration, Alec Bellamy.

He's the guy on the right. I wanted to make a stand-up comic character, and I figured, no gorgeous guy gets obsessed with making people laugh. So I made him balding (as a young adult!) and potbellied (even when he slims down his belly still protrudes!) and gave him sort of a derpy doughy face.

And I love him! He is a clumsy goofball, which makes him just always seem very laid back and fun to be around. And it's been so much fun watching him go about his day, because he looks so different from most of my other male sims. And when he does his standup routines he looks absolutely flawless - the delivery, the gestures, even hitting himself on the head with the microphone - they just totally work for him.

Anybody got other sims they love who probably weren't the prom king/queen? :)

  • Most of mine are loveable, and not one of them are what Hollywood would consider beautiful. I've never been one for appearances anyway. I prefer what's under the skin. I've made perfect sims in the past, and for some reason, they were the most boring to play with :\

  • I do not think any of my sims are pretty, but neither do I have real ugly ones (yet - give them time to breed and it may happen). Let me sho you a few so can judge yourself.

    These are Karl Keppler and Anya Allen as I made them in demo:

    Karl is an astronomer. I gave him a green son when the full game was released and Anya was employed as the nanny of said son, because she is 1/4 of alien blood herself. The funny thing about Karl is, I have him work as an astronaut and make him use the treadmill regularly, but he´s resistant to loosing weight (though he gains muscles). Guess Anya´s cooking skills are just a tad too good to turn down a second or third helping. I sometimes joke that he needs a spaceship just for himself, but truth is I really like Karl. He´s like me, the nerdy one, who doesn´t like exercice much - but still he goes on space missions!

    These are the adoptive brothers Charly and Gorden (who became Anya´s husband later) with their roomate Oona Stone:

    The brothers are just average guys, a guitarist and a would-be pro-athlete. Oona is supposed to be a stoneage woman who survived suspended in an iceberg. Her small eyes and piggish face are the result of me trying to recreate neanderthal look without a reference picture. I think she turned out rather cute. Despite her being not quite human Oona gave birth to a healthy son lately - the game doesn´t know she´s supposed to belong to another species, after all.

  • I love Oona's look! Just the kind of thing I'm talking about. She's my favorite from your pictures. Ironically as you were going for a Neanderthal look, somehow to me she really looks the most like a real person; I can picture having a chat with her IRL.
  • I feel quite shallow, really, for wanting my little people to be pretty and attractive (not supermodel style). I also change townies to my liking, for example the weird chin of Paolo Rocca. He's VERY handsome with a more "normal" chin. I don't really do full plastic surgery on any sim, more like small cosmetic changes like eyebrows and hair/facial hair. I've found quite a few gems among randomly created townies, just by changing hairstyles, to one that actually suits them.

    Its not always looks, though, that makes a sim "attractive" to me. I can absolutely love an "ugly" or weird looking sim.
