Doesn’t anyone remember the disaster that was Daniel Pleasant from Sunlit Tides? His derpy face was so hideous and I always had to remake him.

Nothing is stopping you from making your own version of the Burbs in CAS,

My version of Jennifer and John (which I admittedly downloaded and tweaked to the extreme) are much cuter….my John looks like a cuter version of his Sims 2 self. I went differently with Jen’s hair (I’m using a couple of Newsea hairs on her) and her face isn’t quite the same (it’s better, actually…most Sims 2 characters have such a funny chin and jawline), but it looks better than anything EA did with those two they are passing off as Jen and John.

Not surprising.

I also ended up downloading and making over someone else’s Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant, because the EA version was so hopeless compared to my Sims 2 game and I couldn’t quite get my own Mary-Sue the way I wanted her. Now I’m quite happy.

My John is also in Science, but I’m not sure about Jen yet…in Sims 2 she was very stylish, even though she was sporty. I don’t see her as an athlete.

And I agree about EA borking the Caliente twins. I made my own and redid them as well. I made Nina more artsy/nerdish and Dina is modeled after Carrie Bradshaw from SATC. They needed some contrast.

I don’t really care for any of the EA Sims 2 remakes, anyway. It’s easier making my own or if I can’t get it quite right to use another creator’s and then tweak them to my liking. I like having the “essence” of who they are in my Sims 2 game without being carbon copies. Yet…they shouldn’t be hideous either – but, I guess EA can’t help it. They aren’t using a slider hack or 6 GB of CC either!

There are only so many preset faces and ways to change the faces in Skyrim, I think it’s the exact same as TS3 or Mass Effect or Dragon Age e.t.c!
All the games I mentioned above have around the same amount of ways to change the face, and this is coming from someone who has struggled with an addiction of Morrowind and Skyrim for at least three months. 😛
I totally became a Hermit Crab during that time…

But, I think the Sims are able to be unique looking, it’s just that we all want our Sims to be pretty and not look like a bunch of Alien Hippos, so we all set the sliders to the same end of the bar so our Sims can look pretty and ‘perfect’.

I loved every Sim in PV, or the whole of TS2 for that matter. Sure, TS2 was emotional and awesome, but I never hated on a character even when I made a Sim who tried to steal John from Jennifer and she even planned on killing Jennifer, I still loved her since she was a well thought out Sim.

Now that I think of it, my Pleasantview was like a Soap Opera. And I never stayed on track with the stores Maxis left out for us– Cass get’s left at alter e.t.c!

Correction: I only mean’t that the Calientes were good looking in TS2 but the store team messed them up in TS3.

Haha, cool points for hating on Kaylyn!!
