Current Project : Face Presets Replacements (Heads, Lips, Noses, Eyes)
I think 2 weeks ago, @potatobuttcheek asked me about this (Sorry, I took so long) but here we go
In simple words : It's basically a slider that aim to reduce the harsh shadows sims 3 normally puts on your sims faces and make details way more apparent, and yes the sims look just as smooth in game too ! I usually put mine at 150. There is a more technical explanation by simtanico here
For people who wish to download this slider, there is a re-upload here
Note : My shadows may be casting differently but that's because I'm using the custom CAS lightning by simbouquet
So guys, I really didn't want to talk about this, but recently I was talking about how my state has suffered a lot due to the rains and how I had to send my PC for maintenance and also the internet connection in my house broke down and it's going need to be changed. To begin with, I live in Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, our state has suffered a catastrophe where the ENTIRE state suffered from floods, people without homes, people and animals who lost their lives, it's horrible. There has been no water in my city for 1 week (I'm supposed to go back this week, but the place where our water treatment is located is flooding again), this part of my city that is flooding is where my father's and my sister's workplace are, and also where I work, my work is remote, I don't know when I'll be able to go back to work, I didn't want to ask, but the bills won't stop and I don't know if I'll have money to help my parents, who are also in limit, if you have the opportunity to help me with even 1 cent I would really appreciate it, luckily I had some money saved from my birthday which is exactly what will be used to maintain my computer, when it arrives I will continue posting content for you, I have a lot of projects to post, I post because I like it and it's something that has brought me a lot of comfort in this difficult time, having your support is also incredible, I have a big project for the 1000 followers that I'm almost reaching. Anyway, if you can help me, even if it's for the smallest amount, here's my Ko-Fi, if you're from Brazil and use pix, it's my email (minsute24@gmail.com)
I AM NOT CHARGING TO CONVERT, EVERYTHING WILL CONTINUE FOR FREE AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN
THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE, AND I PROMISE THAT THIS WEEK WILL HAVE NEW CONTENT 💕
im so excited for your head/eye/nose presets!! i refuse to make a sim before downloading them
Thank you, your excitement makes this worthwhile !
Although, don't wait on me 🤣 You won't make a sim for a while if you do, I'm busy IRL. It's almost finals week for me. so I try my best to do what I can most days
You know, I'm convinced EA did not want our sims to look good.
because why does all these hairstyles look like they all gotta be sentenced for multiple crimes and felonies. They've comitted an assault to my eyesight. I can't.
For the people who may be wondering : Yes, I'm working on the presets, the more I work on them, the more I notice things to make the sims proportions even better, but yeah I'm still working on it
Hello! I know you're working on DF head presets, which I'm looking forward to! I was wondering if you take suggestions. If you do, do you think you could possibly make some non-DF ethnic face presets? I'm not ethnic, but would like to have ethnic Sims in my game without offending anyone. I noticed no one has done any of these presets yet. Thank you for reading!
I'm glad you asked but yes I was already planning on making non-default presets after making the default face presets ! I'm more so focusing on the defaults for now.
The non-default presets are going divided in different sets : many different ethnic noses, many different lip shapes, etc. + I want to make atleast maybe 10-20 presets per sets. I will try my best to deliver the best with these presets, I will more than likely always do polls for feedback when needed !
The main difference between the non-defaults and the defaults are going to be the sliders. The defaults will always remain basegame meanwhile the non-defaults will require custom sliders.
I really like that many of you are asking questions since I love answering them ! 🤗

Here's another 5 things that make me happy !
🥹 Um... hi... regarding your much-needed hair tone replacements,I know you added two black hair presets on purpone so I was wondering what's the specific reason for having two of them? It's okay if you don't want to say or if this comes across as rude--- I'm just curious why not using the ginger/red ones, for example... 👉👈
Don't worry I don't find this rude at all ! My idea behind it was that I wanted random sims to get the color black more than any color since ginger and red are pretty rare IRL. I wanted to make the randomization of the colors more realistic basically by adding 2 blacks hair colors the odds of getting it would've been higher than only have 1 black hair color. I also wanted ginger and red to be rare on townies which is why I seperated them.
I did the same thing with my eye colors replacement, I put more brown than anything else because brown is the most common eye color. The game recognizes my eye color replacements and now townies get a lot of brown eye colors and a few of green, gray and blue here and there !
But sadly, the game doesn't recognize my default hair replacements and the townies still show up with the old EA's hair color selection 😞
All of this was tested with the random sim fixes by LazyDuchess, she allows the use of default hair color presets + custom hair color presets at the same time if you modify the _XML (basically ginger and red counts as custom hair colors since I didn't make them defaults, I could only replace the 8 colors available, the rest has to be custom) but yeah, the main idea behind it was just realism and better color selection for townies ! I hope this makes it clearer :)
I never truly liked the eye colors Maxis gave us, they always seemd a bit unatural to me and just awful. I never used them and would always customize my eye colors, but having to do that all the time can be tiring, so I woke up one day and was like " what if I just found a way to replace the eye colors ? " well, that's what I did !

Thanks to : @thecardinalsims for helping me find where the eye color presets were located 🥰
I never truly liked the hair colors Maxis gave us, I decided to make default hair color presets replacements. Yes, there is a lack of ginger and red hair I'm aware 😅 to fill that gap, I created 2 custom hair color presets.

As I started creating the nose presets. I was like why not try to see how all my presets look on the basegame skin ? It doesn't look too bad.
but on another note, this made me realize that the sims itself were never odd looking, it was just the presets because why do they look so much better ? and all of what I'm doing is just with basegame sliders which proves that there was never anything wrong. Maxis just did us dirty asf with the presets they provided. 😭 down the eye colors and the hair colors too ! the ones you are seeing above are custom colors.
Here's for reference sims in the bin that use's maxis basegame presets
I just never really liked the way random sims or bin sims looked like... and the more I go further in this project, the more I get it.
The progress on everything that I've managed to get done today
Eyes - Done ✅
Noses - Not done, 0% progress even...
Mouths - Done ✅
Heads - half way done, missing some modifications with their overall look, they looked too similar, smoothfacenormals flavor
So in a few days, get ready for your sims to have new faces !!!
I gotta do more modifications for the heads, WHY ARE HEADS SO COMPLICATEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Here's 5 things that make me happy
Thank you for asking !
(Me scared of asking anyone in fear of bothering them) 💀
As I'm working on the version 2 of the headshapes, I need feedback and I figured a poll would do best.
I personally prefer the longer faces because they just look so much more organic to me.
So I've been working on the presets and trying to find the perfect proportions for each category. I've currently finished re-doing all the eyes but I want to finish everything before I even upload anything.
The noses and mouths need a complete overhaul
The heads will recieve more work than I thought it would need
If adding manually the smoothfaceNormals is not possible then It'll remain to 2 flavors.
I feel like they look better than what I'm used to seeing :)
This is kinda becoming an NPC/Random sims overhaul, by accident ? LOL
@irueone tagged me and I thought this was adorable :D
I don't hate pink but it's not my favorite colour, otherwise I think this palette is pretty cute ! My name means pink in french but like damn, can't y'all give me another color ?? 😂
I'm tagging @mookymilksims, @loomsims, @thesirensims, feel free to ignore this if you wish not to participate !
(me being scared of tagging 2 more people cause I don't wanna bother them) 😭
