Nope, aside from hairstyle, I don't change their physical appearance. I love seeing what the genetics can do, and I love when my sims come out not looking gorgeous. I love sims that have interesting or unusual features.
What we call beautiful anyway is pretty much a set of specific features that we've deemed 'good,' which has changed throughout history depending on so many different factors. What happens then, at least for me, is that 'beautiful' means they all look the same. And I have a lot of trouble telling people apart on a good day, so it helps me a lot to have varied facial features.
I've watched so many movies and been so confused because I couldn't tell Matt Damon from Mark Wahlberg from Leonardo DiCaprio. :|
When I create my own, I push their physical features beyond what the game would generate on its own. The sims art style also works so well for having some features be exaggerated, and I wish that the game itself pushed the boundaries more when it comes to the appearances of the randomly generated sims. I get bored by them easily and will often resort to adding in sets of my own sims to have some greater variety of physical attributes. The game throws in an especially large nose every now and then, but..eh. Could do a lot more.
