Does This Sim Scare The Bejesus Outta You?

[Liss]

I think she's kind of cute after you grew her up, Blue.

The facial features really DO change with age transitions.  I had a really really cute boy that was adorable as a teen, he aged up to YA and I swear, his nose EXPLODED to at least twice the size it was.  Anyone who knows how I play knows that I usually head straight for plastic surgery, but I gave him a makeover and even with the huge nose, he turned out pretty cute Thank the gods for custom hair!

[Brynne]

Nope, it's not my kid.  This is my kid.

Blue and I are going to be in-laws, soon.

You know, for all this talk about UGLY, has anyone thought to award the trophy for Worlds Ugliest Sim to.............
Vicund Curious.
He is one really scary mofo, and I would not like to run into him in an alley or dark street.

[ZephyrZodiac]

I still think Goopy Gilscarbo!And there's a couple of dormies whose mouths could swallow the atlantic!

[Ellatrue]

Blue: I would keep ker the way she is, to add interest and realism to the game. She is plain, but not fugly like the Maxis sims.

This is actually the child of a friend of mine, married to Johnnie Depp. The kid looks like he was hit with a 2 by 4.




Fortunately it gets a little better with age. And huge glasses. The link is to a picture of him in the only story I ever uploaded.

I'd call any sim that looks more simian than Ron Perlman a little more than 'plain', myself. At least it isn't so bad when she's an adult.

I have some very attractive half-alien kids!  One, in particular has grown up into a stunning YA - her mother isn't very beautiful at all, she has the elf face and ENORMOUS ears (as do her father and uncles), but alien father Zen is very attractive, and she seems to have got the best of both of them.

That's dad Zen in this thread, and I think he's sweet!

And that's the underlying problem with everyone else's hoods not being diverse enough.  They keep on using those BORING HUMAN SIMS when they could be having hot alien sims like us!.

Your alien seemed to be nice though.  Mine has the benefit of being grumpy and mean as hell.



I often find her walking through the house growling and hissing at things.

[nectere]

angelyne whose/what skins are you using?

[angelyne]

Enayla's default skins (which Sleepycat and I made into default).  At least that's what you see on my cute boy.  Previously I was using Helaene's skins.  So that's why the skins look different in the baby and in the boy.

[Pyrobon]

Omg guys! I laughed so much with this thread!  Its simply hilarious.
Anyway, have you guys seen this website: http://www.joodiff.com/simgen02.htm . It just seems appropiate to link to it, since we are talking about blending and genetics.
I've learned so much things about Ts2 genetics on it...maybe you already knew.

[Regina]

one of mine looked like he had a coathanger in his mouth, because even though his mouth wasn't too wide his cheeks bulged out there

Yep--been there, done that, seen it and all that jazz.  If you use any face that looks like the original maid, Lucy, and mix it with a narrower face that's what you'll get.  It's really a shame, too, because I think Lucy's face is really cute!  I do have a sim in my SimBin that can make neat-looking kids with her.  His looks are so extremely masculine that they just sort of take over everything! LOL

I've seen sims that are scary, many of them in my own game.  Once in a while I've ended up burninating a neighborhood when things went too haywire.

[cwhitney]

I agree, the only thing wrong with that girl is that her nose is too high, (and that first hairstyle is hideous, I've never seen a sim that looked good with it)

I have some horrendously ugly Sim kids... mostly decendants of I've downloaded, those nice 'unique' features don't blend well.

Okay, I can't beat that.  Have you changed the eyes to see what that kid would look like without the aggressively pink peepers?  I've noticed that some custom eye colors can really screw up the appearance of kids born in the game.  In my case, what looked good in CAS (with its closeups) hasn't always looked good ingame.

But then for one family that was constantly pooping out ugly kids with these nasty brown custom eyes, I changed the eye color with contacts and... they're still butt ugly.

Anyway, here's one of a ugly sim and his gosh darn ugly toddler.  Understand that his parents dropped 6 kids that looked like him before I learned of the firstborn effect and how to avoid it:



Not to say that it was the firstborn effect that cursed all the progeny of his two (fairly attractive) parents, as his younger brother shows:



But here's the piece-de-resistance:



Notice how she has a sister who looks JUST LIKE HER.

[cwhitney]

Well, I've changed Albany and goneril too, though not much, but there's nothing wrong with the kids they already have. 

Are you considering Miranda when you make this assertion?  She was the first sim to go into the Plastic Surgery Station, and keep in mind that I don't usually do that even for my ugliest sims.

But I do agree that Ariel and Desdemona turned out nicely.  Hal didn't look bad as a teenager but as a young adult someone seems to have smushed his nose.

I paired him up with a CAS female who was really pretty, and they had 2 of the fugliest simkids I've ever seen.  Sorry no pics....

It was Ariel and Desdemona I was thinking of really.  I think I did plastic surgery on Miranda too, but there are so many in Veronaville that needed it, I've lost count.......

Funny thing is, though, I took one look at Patrizio, gave him hair and the full beard, and he looked quite acceptable - without them he looked like an elderly prize-fighter!

If they're "pooping" them  out, of course they're "butt ugly".

ROFL.  It's amazing the difference one "o" will make!

[Brynne]

I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not, but I still thought it was funny. 

[ZephyrZodiac]

You really shouldn't laugh at people's typos!

[RainbowTigress]

Er, I also noticed s/he said they had "brown" eyes also.   

ZZ:  If it's funny, I'm going to laugh.  It's not the same as making fun of them.  Besides, how do you know it was a typo? 

[Brynne]

You really shouldn't laugh at people's typos!

I wasn't sure it was a typo. Either way, I couldn't resist. 

[ZephyrZodiac]

 ;DWell, considering the O and P are adjacent on the keyboard, a typo is fairly obvious to me (but then I did train as a typist once!) and yes, of course it's funny when people make typos which rather change the meaning like that!

[seventhson]

Since we're discussing ugly Sims and genetics, has anyone heard of and/or tried the Dilution Challenge?

For those who haven't: the idea is to start with the most terrifyingly ugly Sim you can possibly create, and try to breed the ugly out. Obviously an extremely optimistic challenge, since you can only use Maxis townies/NPCs/etc.

I'm afraid I gave up shortly after the second child in the second generation became a toddler - he and his sister (Bonus side view!) were so ugly I could hardly bear to look at them. Their mother was reasonably pretty, their father was my terrifying founder. Perhaps if facial features are bred out rapidly, I might try playing until the kids spawn their own kids...

[RainbowTigress]

seventhson:  Oh my, those are some scary sims!  I think I might have nightmares after seeing those!  How could you stand playing them?  On the other hand, your avatar sim is quite gorgeous.

[cwhitney]

FWIW, it was intentional.  I thought it appropriate considering that they were ugly and that it was custom brown eyes that made them so.

Not that I expect anyone to believe me
