Why are the premades so odd looking...

I've just spent an hour sorting out a starter save for when I want to play a new game. I've added lots (Restaurant,spa etc) and some families and houses from the old games (Broke, Pleasant, Wolff) and I've just added eyelashes to all the female sims. I've spent a lot of time looking at their faces and they're so odd looking. The eyes are really very strange, especially Maaike Haas! The eyelashes are in the glasses slot (sorry the Pancakes lady, no eyelashes for you!) so adding them required no editing of the facial features, only Cassandra dumped her glasses and went to the hair dresser, everyone else is as is, apart from adding the lashes (If no glasses). I can't believe I've played since launch and never noticed how odd the premades look (especially in outfits with no make up).

    A lot of the female premades have really odd body shapes too (like not found in nature) - like super high breasts, teeny tiny waists - makes me wince :s I have to change the poor things in CAS.

    If you mean the woman from Windenburg, I plan to delete her in my game. I think the majority of the families in Windenburg have odd stories and I’ll be deleting most of them when I get around to it. The majority are also ugly.


    Yeah, the Behr sisters from Windenburg and Miko Ojo from San Myshuno :s

    I don't mind their faces, but they make hideous kids... Again, I don't mean not pretty/handsome, I mean not-found-in-nature shapes and sizes :scream:
  • Yeah, I think Nancy Landgraab probably got plastic surgery, and Bob Pancakes and Eric Lewis look weird if they lose weight:

  • I actually like keeping the "ugly" sims in the game (ugly is subjective, right? lol) Sims like Maaike Haas, Mila Munch, our friend Vlad and Mitchell Kalani stay in my game when I start a new save. With that note, I once gave a makeover to Mitchell..had him lose weight and different hair, added facial hair...he was actually pretty good looking when I was finished with him.

    This one is my biggest gripe. I specifically remember my founder in one of my legacies marrying Penny Pizzazz. Once I got her in CAS for the first time all I could think was "honey no" when I saw those proportions. I had to tweak her to make her look more realistic but still like herself.

  • Oh man, Nancy landgraab for sure is one of them. Had my criminal sim have a affair with hair but I didn’t like her makeup so I went to the closet to change her looks and I realized why she’s so heavy with the makeup. I asked her to leave and don’t even want to invite her to end things with her :D she still calls my sim though saying she can’t get him off her mind
  • That is why every time I start a new save, i go and give makeovers to everyone, or I just replace them with my version. Depends if i want to try something new with them. If i don't feel like dealing with them, I just delete them. For me both male and female townies just have questionable body shapes, and their faces are just crazy. Nancy just has a bunch of plastic surgeries in all my saves XD

    Maaike Haas and her roommate are always deleted in all my saves but one. She is really hard to change up, so i end up just giving up. There are alot of townies I delete for this reason lol. Mila and her sons turn out really good when i gave them makeovers.

  • I've noticed that a lot of premades' eyebrows are five miles above their eyes, pencil thin, and irregularly curved.
