YOUR CC ARE AMAZING!!! finally a new active male sims lover!!!! love it
Hello! I'm back from my CC hiatus! I'll be releasing new items this week.
Also, thank you, I am indeed an active male sims lover. I love creating them, sharing them and seeing how people react to them in my stories.
But as we know, lots of people just straight up HATE male sims. Which just intrigues me.
I decided to explore the topic about their "ugliness" rather than the lack of hairstyles/clothes as that's been covered a lot; read more if you'd like to kill a few minutes reading yet another rant about Sims 4.
I think the main problem is not the lack of clothes or hairstyles; It's the faces.
I don't blame anyone but EA, as they missed the mark with their male sim faces and presets, as we all know. But I still decided to test this out myself.
''Could it be that bad?'' I told myself.
I went into story-creation to see what male sim the game would generate after answering the quiz....oh boy.
I generated a female sim with the same quiz method both times to compare.
I don't think the male sims are ugly, but they just looks villanous, pompous and unapproachable, it's such a weird artistic choice to make male sim presets be so unnecesarily rough looking. I don't want to get to know these two characters, I don't even want to see them, they look dead. The girls look charming.
It's kinda like EA's saying masculine features can't be youthful, average, goofy, soft, next-door or warm. They're not even masculine either, the facial presets are botched. There's no softness, but no sharpness either, they're shallow, dislodged (like their lips, chins and jaws) and worst of all; empty.
The Sims community is full of talented people who make gorgeous male sims, and creators who make it possible to create male sims that can fit into the game's style a lot more than whatever the game generates. But not everyone in the community knows how to handle the awful presets and sliders for masculine framed faces. And it can be pretty frustrating to work with such crunchy and difficult faces like...these two male generated sims.
So that's why It makes me happy that the effort I put into my male sims is something a lot of you guys love and support, and I'm happy I can offer simspo for y'all to explore male sims a bit more and make the game just a little bit more diverse.
