Detail edit mode is crying because it was ignored

[alyalvarado]

I am not sure this is entirely accurate. The sims 4 is definitely not perfect, but when it comes to the face, at least, they have a variety of ways to change the face in detail mode. It just seems these guests weren’t as well versed on making sims. If you rely solely on presets, of course you won’t find something that matches. However sims 4 does have atrocious eyebrows and lashes. Also skin detail CC makes all the difference. Just a nice face overlay cc can really make the face come together.

EVERYTHING THEY DESCRIBED COULD BE ACHIEVED WITH DETAIL EDIT MODE WTF

[monky]

Why didn't you tell them they can tilt eyes, make their noses smaller wider etc by dragging them out, as well as the detail edit mode? You can actually do a lot without mods on the facial features and making the women in the video restricted to the presets isn't really doing anything for me.

[therealjulia]

Why are they relying so much on presets??? I literally never use presets lol

[Nishkween]

That is so awesome! Luumia is such a talented creator.

[jannlawrencealparaque]

To be honest, my whole game revolves around cc. I rarely do use EA stuff especially for CAS.

[Kiyoko]

I wish somebody could make CC so that my sim can have the same disabilities as me. I use a wheelchair, I wear braces on my wrists, knees and ankles, I wear hearing aids with decorations, I get tics and twitches and I stim (plus I can never make it look anything like me) it never feels like me when I play the sims because it feels like “here’s what I’d be able to do if I weren’t disabled”

[davidkonevky]

No hate to the girls there but there's a lot of features that can help you make asian women without mods. You guys should have taught them

[bettyboopsynoop]

Only two of those remakes looked remotely like the person. The other looked absolutely nothing like the other woman.

Also, maybe actually show them how to use the create a sim, could go a long way…

[its_amarysso]

All this faces can be made in the sims, you just have to take a little more time, i have made such different sims from one another and they can all make their own faces so easily if they really used all the tools. The base assets are usually for textures or specific forms, like more blunt middle zone lips or shadowy eyes, but all of them can be transformed so harshly, after a ehile of playing you still discover new ways of deforming them

[poppycartergraphics]

I wish someone had explained to them how to properly play the game. What I mean is, someone should have told them that they could click and drag features as well as enter detail edit mode to really get in there, otherwise it feels more like you wanted them to struggle on purpose rather than to actually try to get something they’d be happy with. I’m a black woman, so I can’t relate to every struggle that they have, but detail edit mode really helps in getting something that I’m happy with and then using CC to enhance that. In any case, they’re all beautiful and so are the sims.

Once again, and its always proven that CC Creators shine on TS4 no matter what!
People like Luumia in The Sims Community shows how much they care on representation on the game

I myself made Simself as a tradition whenever a new Sims game released, and only CC can give a perfect or near-perfect look of myself IRL in the game

[mandersdcc]

This is why i love the kijiko remove maxis eyelash so i can add my own eyelashes

[Tishalonghorn]

This was a really fun video! It’s super hard to make yourself in the sims if you aren’t a professional. Loved seeing the pro take a hand at it! Plus all the women are so beautiful!! Hope to see them featured more!

[mmaggiehartt]

Marti and Sara’s modded sims looked really good! Herrin’s modded sims was better than hers, but I think the modded sim needed a more narrower chin and strong cheek apples.

[piercetheromance]

My favorite essential thing to do is throwing a skin overlay on the sims - that would take them to the next level 👌🏼 It’s so incredible to see cc creators being recognized for carrying this game <33 congrats, Luumia!

and imo the next thing EA needs to add to the base game is some softer brows - I’m praying for the console players.

[jetleclaire]

Detail edit mode would make these much easier and it made me sad that they all made themselves 4+ shades lighter than they actually are, noses were still not right, body shape wasnt even touched and the cc creator didnt correct it.. a lot of insecurity and it's so sad.

[brooklynn]

As a Filipino it makes me happy that cc creators are a thing because I started playing sims when I was 6 and obviously it wasn’t the best at making Asians/pacific islanders

[TakiGamesOfficial]

There’s a lot of games out there that do a terrible job at capturing the Asian features. Cyberpunk 2077 was one of them. I had to actually just mod an npc’s face mesh onto my character to give her a slightly more proper asian look. I think developers and designers in general just aren’t knowledgeable on various cultures enough to make proper face meshes. Most games seem to be catered towards European / Western audiences.
