More Awesome Than You!

Pescado has bestowed on me the honour of launching this month's More Awful Than You.

By popular suggestion, this month we want to see god awful Celebrity Sims.
Rules apply like previous contests; no intentionally ugly sims, no self nomination, no sims created after the contest went live and whatever other rules we come up with as the month progresses.
Bonus Points if it's from a pay site.
Bonus Points if the face is a full face makeup plastered to a default maxis face.
Bonus points if in-game screen shots look nothing like the promotion pictures.
Points docked if the celebrity is Michael Jackson.

Please include a few words about why you nominate an entry, and if the celebrity is obscure and no picture of them is provided by the artist, see if you can find one for us.

Judges will be shanghaied along the way in the usual fashion.
Judges so far: Database, SaraMK, Quittius Maximus

I want to start by nomination this very unfair comparison:
Jake Gyllenhaal (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=53706) by Joshishot182 at MTS2, which would have been simply forgettable, if we don't do it the injustice of putting it side by side with UdontKnow's version (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=234920) of the same celebrity.

Edit:  Anything by soulvoice at MTS2 is worth a menton, but I'll highlight these two:
Annette O' Toole
(http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/images8/MTS2_59482_soulvoice_annette_otoole.JPG) (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=61325)

:D Liv Tyleromfg...

I was devastated when I found that Vita Sims no longer offers their donation celebrity sims (though I'm quite taken  by this sudden sign of something resembling quality control). Fortunately, some of the images were still available in a thread at PMBD:

Cameron Diaz

...who actually looks something like this:

David Schwimmer

...who might not be the hawtest guy around, but still...
(http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/45/40/0000014540_20060921050514.jpg)

Brad Pitt

At least the hair colour is right...

But I have more..!

Not only the worst but also the most weird Paris Hilton (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sims/female/adult/481807/) I've seen...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/bergsisters/481807.jpg)
Not ONE feature resembles the original (of which I even won't post a reference picture)

...and my personal favourite: Gilmore Girls People  :D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/bergsisters/gilmoregirls_rory_sm.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v702/bergsisters/gilmoregirls_lorelai_sm.jpg)
...from Sims2Cri (http://www.sims2cri.com)

 

Cheeses!  That sim looks like Brad Pitt's retarded inbred brother.

My first two offerings doesn't have quite the same "WTF?"-factor as previous entries - instead, they have the apparent LACK of likeness.

First, I bring you Robbie Williams.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v721/annann/robbiewilliams.jpg)
I actually started wondering if there were more than one Robbie Williams, but no, this is supposed to be the singer.

And then there's "Evangeline Lilly".
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v721/annann/evangelinelilly.jpg)
There's not even a SLIGHT resemblance! ZOMG!

The third offering - the utterly bizarre. Now, I have no idea who this Hanna Montana type is supposed to be, but I gather it's some sort of character played by some Miley (?) girl. If I were Miley, I'd cry if people thought this is how I looked.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v721/annann/hannamontana.jpg)
The EYES!

Do I get extra points for EA approved new archetypes?

Take two normal looking guys

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t243/greudach-vendor/andy_lucas_3.jpg)

And turn them into

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t243/greudach-vendor/Andy.jpg)

Some of UDon'tknow more forgettable efforts (Or should I say less forgettable, as in it will haunt my dreams)

The advertising
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t243/greudach-vendor/JulieRobertPromise.jpg)

In game (just as scary)
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t243/greudach-vendor/juliarobertsBefore.jpg)

Stripped of content (skin and eyes) with an Enayla skin and more normal looking eyes
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t243/greudach-vendor/juliarobertsafter.jpg)

I know that this loose points, but how often do you get a sim that's actually better looking than the person.  this is too good to pass up.

(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t243/greudach-vendor/MTS2_36097_angelmarie123_michael_ja.jpg)

The reason that Sim looks so much better than MJ is only because it really doesn't look like him, at all.

Here's a submission for you guys...this is supposed to be Kid Rock!  ::)  :D

(http://isc.thesimsresource.com/images/515/515181.jpg)

You can download him here, if you're interested: www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sims/male/adult/515181/  ;)

MOTHER OF GOD!

That Kid Rock doesn't look nearly as inbred and sickly as the real one.  FAIL.

Wuahaha! Finally a chance for me to unleash my hatered of Celebritysims across the world!
*Skips off to MTS2

I'd like to nominate this Hugo Weaving (http://forums.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=230782) by Margierytka. This is what happens when photoskinning goes horribly, horribly wrong:

(http://thumbs2.modthesims2.com/images1/MTS2_519426_Margierytka_hugo_a.jpg)

That Kid Rock one! *Emma falls on the floor laughing

Ooh, I must find some fugly celeb sims...going off to search now ;D

[edit] Can't be arsed to look, websites are so slow nowadays! I'll be a judge if you need one ;)

 Ya beat me to 'im darkholm. :D
I went looking for fuglies when SaraMk suggested the theme for the August contest. I quit looking after I saw that godawful Kid Rock. Now I have to gather my courage again and head off.......

Got one:
By cgendron at TSR, the worst Elvis/laziest photoskinning ever:

(http://aycu33.webshots.com/image/22552/2004385384860696634_rs.jpg)

Also:

(http://aycu29.webshots.com/image/22748/2002379679558665769_rs.jpg)(http://aycu06.webshots.com/image/24245/2004095844191927847_rs.jpg)

Arwensundomiel claims that it's Anna Nicole Smith. I'm not buying it.

modified to add r/l pic of Anna Nicole -

Wow.  Someone drew her eyebrows on with a crayon!

 :D at Elvis

Speaking of pop culture icons... Marilyn Monroe (http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sims/female/adult/473689/)?

(http://isc.thesimsresource.com/images/473/473689.jpg)

I'm confused. One part of me believes this Arwensundomiel person intentionally went for the Andy Warhol version of Marilyn, while the other thinks she may have a visual handicap and/or digs Chinese opera masks A LOT  :-\ Because Warhol isn't mentioned anywhere in the description...  ::)

True-the colors say Warhol, but the rest just says blech.

Despite the risk of permanent eye damage, I'm going to look at some of Arwensundomiel's unawesome creations in-game.
Obvoiusly, there's a lot of photoshopping (or crayoning  :D) after the fact, so I'm hoping they're even more amusingly horrible in their unedited state.

One more:

Guess who this is:
(http://aycu32.webshots.com/image/22471/2000019404532287757_rs.jpg)(http://aycu25.webshots.com/image/22944/2001374694673586582_rs.jpg)

According to inx(link below) at MTS2, it's Johnny Depp. "I could never find a Johnny sim that actually looked like him, so I got off my lazy butt and gave it shot."
Trying is not for everyone. Next time, just keep that lazy butt on the sofa.

Modified to add r/l pic of Johnny Depp. I almost didn't since I figured everyone knows what he looks like, but who ever gets tired of looking a Johnny Depp?

Bill Clinton

http://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/sims2/sims/male/elder/545767/

(http://www.fantasiadomain.com/misc/billclintontsr.jpg)

I have no words.

 :D
Do you suppose the slightly bent over sim in front of him was intentional, or pure serendipity?

Yech! I'm pretty sure that sim is male... unless Billy's changed his palate recently. Some of these attempts are godawful puke-worthy.

If his libido is even half of what it's rumoured to be, I figure him for the 'any port in a storm' type. ;)

I think it's Don Lothario, so anything's possible. His milkshake brings all the boys to the yard!

I now nominate Simultaneous Design http://www.simultaneousdesign.com/TS2/FrontPage.htm (http://www.simultaneousdesign.com/TS2/FrontPage.htm) (not a direct link-'celebrities' link is halfway down on the left) for going beyond the bounds of laziness and charging for it.
Every celebrity sim on the site looks like two seconds of bad photos hastily photoshopped . Also, they have managed to fugly celebrities who are, in real life, so gorgeous that fuglyfying them would seem impossible.

Three of the most noteworthy:
Lindsay Lohen
(http://aycu29.webshots.com/image/22588/2002533655992895964_rs.jpg)(http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/25667/2004079679787956501_rs.jpg)

Brad Pitt and Brittany Spears:
(http://aycu07.webshots.com/image/24606/2002513166856018580_rs.jpg)
I'm really glad they captioned them or I would have had no idea who they were supposed to be.
(http://aycu20.webshots.com/image/24059/2004313168463625976_rs.jpg)(http://aycu28.webshots.com/image/24987/2004051565128042850_rs.jpg)
modified to add the pics of r/l Brad and Brittany

Also, I feel bonus points of some type should be awarded this site's owner for the heinous false humility of this little disclaimer:

I do not take credit for anything not featured on this site - there are tons of amazing creators out there.

Why on earth would he/she imagine they'd be credited with anything not featured on their site. ???
I'd be trying to deny the mess that is featured.

I recommend not looking directly at the pics-poke a hole in the bottom of a shoebox to use as a viewing device.

I was going to volunteer for judging, but now I'm not so sure :-X
:D Good grief, these are some god-awful look-alikes! :o

Simultaneous Designs's version of Brad Pitt looks like Remington the maid with skin desease.

*falls out of chair laughing at comments while covering eyes from looking at pictures


I'm not sure what hurts more my face from grinning like a fool or my eyes from looking... :D

Cass :)

All of those Simultaneous Design celebrities look like they have escaped from the burn ward!

For those of us who don't read tabloids or watch the news or anything, can we get actual photos of who these people are supposed to be, for comparison? Some of the celebs are just butt-ugly to begin with...

There's always the option to google, you know.

I know, but it's more striking when they're adjacent ^^ juxtaposition and all that


oh, and are we looking for really bad likenesses or really ugly sims? Like, if a sim isn't that bad looking but looks nothing like the celeb, would that be a good one, or are we looking for really ugly sims regardless of how similar they are? Some people really don't simify well >.>

Just checking on things before I go a-hunting

If we're going to have multiple judges, I have a feeling there are going to be multiple categories.

Mary-Louise Parker (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=240261). I hate photoskins to begin with, but those lines around her mouth make this one extra awful.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/breezilla/sims/parker-sim.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/breezilla/sims/parker-real.jpg)

I modified all mine to add actual celebrity pics.
I have to say, though, I'm jealous of anyone who has managed to not have images of Brittany, Lindsay, and their ilk permanently burned into their brain.

And, this is weird. I tried the Marilyn and Anna Nicole sims by Arwens-whos-e-what, and aside from the freaky eyebrows on Anna, and a strange nose shadow on Marilyn, they are actually not bad. go know.

All of my submissions are from TSR, because they seem to have an abundance of horrific crappiness.


For my own personal contest, 3rd place goes to the Lucy Liu sim for photo skinning....
(http://isp.thesimsresource.com/images/420/420207.jpg)
Lucy Liu

2nd place goes to the J-Lo sim for looking nothing like J-Lo......I wasn't aware she had gray hair ;D
(http://isc.thesimsresource.com/images/483/483681.jpg)
Jennifer Lopez

Runner-up goes to the Ellen Degeneres sim, also for looking nothing like the person, but also for general crap-ness....
(http://isc.thesimsresource.com/images/531/531598.jpg)
Ellen Degeneres

There was a tie for first place between Sarah Jessica Parker sims.....They both look like drag queens, and are both crappy in their own horribly unique way.

Horrific photo skinning.
(http://isc.thesimsresource.com/images/400/400713.jpg)
Sarah Jessica Parker

And....wow.....
(http://isc.thesimsresource.com/images/364/364016.jpg)
Sarah Jessica Parker (again)


I just couldn't bring myself to put these bufugly sims into my game, so...no in game shots.... :D

*clutching keyboard tray to keep from falling into the floor laughing*

I know, right?!?!

How about Jennifer Aniston, from MTS2? Apparently she has sparkle-eye and has been hit in the face with a frying pan

They got pretty close on the chin and jawbones.  :P

Dang, you beat me to the Mary-Louise Parker sim. I saw her on MTS2 and was pondering wether or not to submit it.
Oh well. Off to TSR then.

 
:D @ the J Lo sim-You have to wonder if some of the creators have ever actually seen the celebrity they're Simming ::).


I have another submission:

By genericjanedoe(smart thinking on that username-with results like these, it's better to keep your identity on the down-low).

I'd love to hear Mr. Cowell's critique of his likeness.

I nearly fell of the chair for that one, thats worse than any maxis sim and they butt ugly.
I wonder how his offspring would look like. ;D

WTF??

Doesn't this person have enough brainpower to know you need a picture with a NEUTRAL expression.  Who is stupid enough to base themselve on a picture of  someone with a goofy frog-smile pasted on their face.

It's like the old warning we all received as a child, "if you're not careful your face is going to freeze that way".  Guess this is what happened to Simon

Sim Simon Cowell looks like he's suffered from an extremely botched botox injection. His cheekbones are threatening to engulf his eyes!   :D

I love the pained expression on sim-Jennifer. It's like she knows what's been done to her :D.

Modified so as not to double post.

I've decided I'm going to have to set some limits for myself, as this is very addictive. It's also way too easy-TSR alone pours out a  limitless supply.
Anyway, First:

Lucille Ball bydebbyjo3. Lucy was a bit of a cartoon, but come on!

Micheal may lose points, but nothing was said about Latoya. This is by an FA btw (Cruella) so it's pay ::).:

And, at the absolute bottom of the proverbial barrel, Madonna, by Madonna Rules Bearhuman LTD, who says of her masterwork, "This is my thrid attempt to make Madonna and it is the best i can do."
I am a believer in 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.", but if you try, try, try again and suck? STOP!

I saw this and wondered why someone was trying to make a Wil Wheaton Sim... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/tea_elle/Wesley.jpg)

zomg they're strangely similar? shuddup about me thinking Elvis was Wil Wheaton for ten seconds before I used my brain to read that it was Elvis. :p

Scary.  If that was the best I could do at making a Madonna sim, I wouldn't show it to anyone.  As far as looking nothing like the person, this is one of the best (worst). ;)  She couldn't have done worse if she had stuck to the original Maxis archetypes -- even possibly the gorilla-faced one.

Nelly Furtado....?

from the exchange

I think I should judge this horror show, since it was partly my idea.  :-\

So it shall be.

After trolling the older tsr uploads, I am convinced that this person has never watched CSI.

Sarah Sidel? You tell me.

OMG, They killed Lucy!  Those BASTARDS!!!!   :'(

 

For one thing, that's a Maxis hairstyle subbing in for a distinctively forties hairdo. I've done that hairdo *on myself* and they're not even close.  How lazy can you get?

Not to mention that the real Lucille Ball was drop dead gorgeous and only made herself look weird for comedy reasons. What she *really* looked like was this (in a walk on in the Fred and Ginger picture *Roberta*:
(http://www.moviediva.com/MD_root/MDimages/Copy_of_roberta5.jpg)

 :o OMG.....that Simon Cowell.....well.....wow.....it DOES look like Botox gone horribly awry!!!  lmao
and poor Lucy and Madonna.......

 

I don't normally enter these comps..  after all, the people that make these Sims are obviously proud of their work..and who am I to squash their egos?  BUT!!!!  Looking through TSR today, I nearly died laughing.   I found Madonna, had they not supplied a name, I would have been none the wiser, but then I stumbled across these 3 doozies.  They not only don't look like the celeb they are supposed to be, BUT....you have to dubious honour of having to PAY FOR THEM.

And now, just cuz I'm in a poking mood..  may I present........ MADONNNA!!!! (http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f389/flowerchile/Madonna-Sim.jpg)
It was her thrid attempt!  Maybe she should have given up after her twooth :D

I feel ill - too much laughing, ya know?  :P

Msalwaysright already covered Madonna on page two here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9306.msg254485.html#msg254485). I've seen worse for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, though, and the Tom Cruise isn't entirely bad. I personally wouldn't use him in my game, but at least one can tell who it's supposed to be. The bottom half of Brad Pitt is actually pretty good; they got his jawline pretty well matched up. I'm thinking if they shrunk his eyes a bit it might convey more of a likeness. The Angelina Jolie is a pretty Sim, but if I hadn't seen it juxtaposed next to an actual picture of her, I wouldn't know who it was supposed to be.

ETA: I just noticed that this person uploaded her Madonna on September of 2005, noting that she was the first person to make and upload Madonna. I'm thinking she probably rushed it way too much in her hurry to "be the first." I'm not sure what she was thinking when she sculpted that jaw and chin, though: yikes!

Oh, geez, sorry Denimjo..Thank you for pointing that out..  I'll remember to run my posts things by you in future.   ::) 


Oh, I would suggest you buy a spellcheck..  it is hard to take one seriously when one can't spell *though*  Bummer, hey.  You're gonna have to edit all over again.  Were you in that much of a hurry to play Hall Monitor that you missed it twice?  Slipping a little there.

S'okay, that Madonna is totally worth a second mocking. And I failed to poke the spelling:   :D

Flower, I really don't mean this as a poke, but the thing is that the exact same sim Madonna was already posted.  I could be totally wrong, but it didn't seem to me as if Denimjo was trying to make fun of you.  I thought that she was just letting you know.  And considering MATY mean-ness I think that she could have probably gotten away with really mocking you in a pretty mean way without much anger from the masses.  I mean, when someone does something foolish like not read the thread before posting in it they are liable to get much worse harassment than Denimjo's simple poke at you.  And like I said, I am not picking on you, I am trying to explain what I think is a misunderstanding.  Think of me as a peace negotiator.  ;)

That was the only reason I added that particular one..  The pure ugliness of it, and the spelling cracked me up, it needed to be shared  ;D


I know where you're at Invisigoth.. Oh!  The same one? I didn't realise it was the same one. *headdesk*  One kinda gets lost with the miriad of ugly faces...
*flowerchile is amberassed now.
As with my reply to Denimjo.. had she pointed out that it was the *same* Madonna one, I would have replied totally differently, but I also take history into account, to me, she does tend to sound patronising and very condescending in her posts, and behind the scenes is another kettle of fish entirely.  So yes, had it been phrased differently, and if we had no history, I would have read it as you did. 
I appreciate you bringing it up, Invisigoth  :)

Ok, so nothing beats that first Simon....but this one at least deserves a nod for having the best accompanying celebrity photos.

Plastic face. heh. ::)

I'm signing up for this freak-fest.

I need a good laugh.

So, who's judging?  ( :P )

You, of course.  ;)

Actually, I don't think that Britney on the first page is bad at all. The rest are horrific, though.

The Lucy one ticks me off. Lucy ROCKED. She was a great actress, a smart businesswoman, and a beautiful woman, and they made that of her. Gag.

I also found this little gem (http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/sim_detail.php?asset_id=177224&searchPage=exch&search=1&asset_type=sim&key=axl&order=CREATION_DATE+desc&nrows=5&game_version=&age=&gender=&custom=&locality=&country=&view=new&hideFramework=&languageCode=) on the exchange. Supposedly, that's Axl rose. The preview doesn't do it justice at all. An in-game shot:

Note the lovely gap between the forehead and the hair.

The real Axl Rose:

 :o You actually downloaded it?!  Tell me it ain't so!

Alas, I did. The preview on the exchange just doesn't properly display the sheer fugly of this sim. Even the screenshot I have doesn't do it justice, really. There's horribly pixelated stubble, blush straight out of a bad drag queen's makeup kit, facial geometry that appears to be eating his eyeballs... I'm in awe.

The thing that amazes me is that over 200 people have downloaded this before me. :o

Oops, yeah I missed that one at the end. Thanks for pointing it out. *goes off to edit said message again*

Ouch! They made Simon look like a burn victim. His top lip is gone and I don't see any lashes.  :-X

I knew I couldn't go wrong over at MTS2: This, is supposedly Christina Aguilera: http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=87526

It's more for the fact that it looks absoloutely nothing like her.

And flowerchile, Denimjo wasn't having a go at you.  Considering its general practise here to mock those who don't read the whole thread, im not sure whats got your knickers in such a twist.

Actually, while the outfit and hair just look awful, the facial structure of that Christina Aguilera sim looks okay. The eyebrows could be a little more rounded, but that's really about the best that I would be able to do, personally. Plus they didn't use a photoskin for the easy way out. A lot of people just use photoskins and don't even TRY to get the SHAPE right!

Or maybe they just used one of the default templates, and got lucky because she has a very regular face?

*shrug*

Well, I didn't submit the Christina sim for ugliness necessarily; as the sim itself, isn't all that bad. It was mostly because it just looks absoloutely nothing like who it's supposed to.

Photo skinning almost never looks good, but these(all the photoskins in this thread) are all just so dang lazy.

Do they just Google and then use the first pic that comes up? ???

The Christina Aguilera one ain't bad. I see a resemblance. With better hair/makeup/clothes she'd actually look quite like the celebrity.

Rather than repeat myself..I'll quote my reply to invisigoth.   

Maybe it's just that my eyesight is wonky, or the picture is off somehow, but the mouth on this looks like it's been shifted sideways so it's no longer centered.  It's really peculiar looking.

The head is turned slightly to the left while the body is turned slightly to the right. I would hope it would look shifted sideways.

Ugh. And I was idiot enough to sign up to judge these? x.x

Still. It shouldn't be too bad. A large order of (http://moreawesomethanyou.com/crapola/eyeclorox.jpg) is on the way for everyone, free of charge. :D

I'll come clean...the only reason I am judging now is because SOMEONE needed to avenge Lucy.  For the love of god!  Nobody should be put through that!

You're my heeeero Li'l Brudder  :) 

Poor Lucy..she would turn in her grave.   :'(

Well, Li'l Bro may be in this for Lucy, but the first Simon - Mr Cowell would want to smash every computer in existene shall he ever see that. It'll make him want to eat his face. Pun intended.

Meant to be Barbara Eden. Not too fugly, but nothing like her.

Oh, if the (http://moreawesomethanyou.com/crapola/eyeclorox.jpg) doesn't work too well, soak your retinas in cola overnight and use pot scrubbers the next morning. Works a charm.

(Trying to post this for the third time!)

May I respectfully submit this Bob Barker sim I found on MTS2?  It's frighjtening, isn't it?  I'm trying to imagine who would put this sim into their game and why?  Maybe they need a creepy old guy to hang out by the swingset down at the park...

He's available at http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=230045

Except for the lips, that's a good old guy. It's hard to find elder Sims to download, what with the female adult fixation going on. But it also looks nothing like the photo.

I thought his face looked like it was carved by a chain saw and then left out in the weather for a while.

Ugh. My EYES. THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

Anyway... on to my judging.

In first place: Simon Cowell! (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9306.msg254421.html#msg254421) (Seriously. Was genericjanedoe BLIND? It's just a shame the rest of us aren't, and had to look at that monstrosity.)
In second place: The godawful thing that's meant to look like Johnny Depp. (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9306.msg254230.html#msg254230) (Many of the females I know would go out and kill Arwensundomiel for that)
In third place: Apparantly, it's Nelly Furtado (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9306.msg254567.html#msg254567). Damn.

Honourable mention for Fugly Maxian Face Structures: This Ellen Degeneres Sim. (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9306.msg254312.html#msg254312) (Yeuch.)

Happy now, Gwill? ;)
Congratulations to Marhis for the goggles picture!

1st: Lucy.  FOR HONOR!  FOR VALOR!  FOR REVENGE!
2nd: Simon Cowell.  That VERY ugly one.
3rd: Christina Agulara.  WTF is with the hair?!
