Which Goths Do You Prefer?

I don't mind the darker skin tones, and I like the new Mortimer and Cassandra, but this new Bella isn't Bella. She's supposed to be this semi-unrealistic Jessica Rabbit type character, apart from the skin tone being wrong they'd nailed that look with the old Bella.

I get they wanted to make her look older since she has kids, but realistically Cassandra only looks about 15 so Bella could easily be mid 30s, it would totally fit for her to have a teenage daughter and still look young. No idea what happened to Alexander, seems like they didn't even look for reference pictures before changing him

I have the new ones but did some tweaks with things that I prefer from the old ones. I gave Cassandra her original haircut and gave Alexander a massive makeover so he doesn't look that ugly when he ages up.

I prefer the old version, although I admit new Mortimer is ok - at least now he looks less boring. They made Bella look way too old - I love how old Bella looks too young to have a kid as old as Cassandra. This way I could always sneer at Morty as a cradle-robbing pig (or pretend Bella is Cassie's stepmom). New Bella has lost her spark of specialness.

If that is how Alexander grows up he needs to be killed before he can procreate. I don't even want any risk at all, that sim has to go.

I particularly dislike the new Cassandra - she doesn't look like herself at all.

Alright, after much delay here they are. I didn't include Alexander because I very rarely edit kids and toddlers, teens and up. As I said earlier I'm off the new Bella bandwagon. After getting up close in CAS the differences are too much. My eye didn't register the changes as much in live mode and screenshots. The proportions on Bella are off, her nose and mouth are out of kilter. Under the spoiler I did a version with a fuller lip that's better but still not right. Edit: I went back and did a quick restyle on Alexander. I have to say even the child version is off and oddly proportioned. No wonder he aged up as badly as he did. At certain angles his head looks like an adult sims head that was shrunk down, and it has a kind of giant toddler head thing going on where it's too big for his body. Or maybe it's me.

I never got the fuss over "premades". I also never got why Maxis would effectively gimp themselves by constantly bringing old ones back, instead of creating new ones per game (given it's a freeform sandbox).

Arguably, whether I care for them or not, I preferred what I'd gotten used to.

I only like Bella because I remember her from Sims 3, I never experienced Sims 2 or the original Sims. Plus, I like my own makeovers of Bella in Sims 4. ;)

With the exception of whatever travesty happened to poor Alexander, I slightly prefer the new versions.

@DaniRose2143 I love what you've done with the whole family. Your Bella is gorgeous and Cassie is really cute. I love the hair you chose (I know it's CC - oh if only we could get hair like that in the game) Are you going to post them to the Gallery, and if so, how much of those faces is CC?

I prefer my own.
