We really need more diversity in the top Households in The Gallery.

Well, there's always my OMG it's Erma Gerd! Yes, she's a young adult, so she'll provide you with a nice long life yet, although a bit prematurely grey around the temples. Lol. She's got petite feet, yet stand-out eyes, and she's an insane fashion plate (in her own mind)! :p You'll find Erma Gerd in the Gallery under my ID Pamhamlet.

When you see her in all her glory, you too, will be saying: ERMA GERD!

I don't like it either, sadly it probably won't change. :/ Its either sims with way too much CC, the same "perfect" sims, and those who are made for the ugly challenge and therefore incredibly ugly

4.She is like an A- cup chest size..what is wrong with you boy betta toss some cantaloupes in that shirt.
5.The outfit was made by EA...the audacity..throw her in something that screams I am loose and need men like a shirt that says boy toy on it.
6.She has black hair..the nerve of you Craven,Stick her in some bleach for an hour or the deal is off.
7.She does not glow in the dark or shine..those legs better look like you shave with a hunting knife and butter or I am not interested
8.The lipstick is from ITF and she does not look like a Carp..how dare you use a sim that does not look like she has been stretching her lips everyday on a regiment of tow hitches on vehicles.

Also to be honest this Sim is a game generated time machine daughter from the past but you get the point.



At least she has blue eyes so I might get 3 downloads. :)

She is a lot prettier than most of the top downloaded sims. :p

This thread inspired me to try the Gallery for the first time (I usually play offline) and upload my very non-glamorous family, the cast from the movie Wreck-it Ralph, which I described in this thread.

Download them here if you like. I've moved on to other characters and haven't played much more with that household, though in their Sims 3 version one of them has had quite an adventure going Into the Future...

No one has answered my question upthread yet of if traits and skills are uploaded along with the Sim, but I assume they are. (The Wreck family as uploaded has only starting traits.) I'll get my master chef uploaded when she's finished the culinary career; she will be fully skilled in baking by then as well.

I have to disagree a little here ......

her dl's may not be in the thousands, but at 164 with 35 rec's I considered her a small success

or Peach, one of my early foray's into both Berry sims and using the UIC (wish we had one for 4)

I think back story also plays a small part, and 4's gallery doesn't always play nice with the details. I've noticed on some uploads all the details will be as I typed them in and on others they're gone even the # tag. Take the sim Craven shared with the right back story I probably would have nabbed her.

Sadly with the heavily hyped glamor images every where in rl I'm not surprised out how much the fake pretty/masculine has invaded the gallery & exchange.

Myself I've always leaned towards the quirky, odd, and unique and almost never dl sims based off of celebs or shows. Although I will admit to adding the cast from the Big Bang Theory to my build save to help test a build, which was a first for me.

Here's a nice looking family, the Chu's by KatInAHat2

They were about 3 or 4 load mores down in the gallery with the only criteria being new households.

Myself I'm waiting for the alien invasion to lighten up.

Happy simming

I'm honestly not a fan of the cc drenched look (& what's up with broad shoulders, no hips, & chicken legs trend?! So strange...). But! I've managed to find lots of unique & awesome sims on the gallery. It doesn't really matter to me what's 'popular' :) diversity is in there, you just have to dig deep ;)

Yes traits and skills gained are uploaded with the sim.

I totally agree with the OP. That's why I want a random button for the gallery so badly. And when I say random, I mean really random, and not only the maxis favorited/created sims.

The only celebrity I made was the blonde from Frozen. I only download sims to move them into empty houses, but recently I've only downloaded my own sims. I don't usually mess around with the figures and am happy to play with random sims.
Love all your sims. the native American Indian is beautiful.

I think The Sims community can pretend to be progressive all day and night, but in the end, white and pretty (and generally, female) sims tend to win out. I can't think of a time when they haven't. Remember "Face 1" from TS2? Everyone used that template and regarded it as the most attractive. It's an attractive, heart-shaped face with white facial features.

This did prompt me to look at my Exchange Gallery for TS3 and sort my Sims by downloads. None of them ever got much success, but the top two (tied with 31 downloads a piece) were interesting. One of them was one of my own pretty blonds. The other was Black and Indian with unconventional features, though! But they were both women, and I have yet to have a male sim crack more than 15 downloads. Probably because they don't look like anime pretty-boys.
