She went to the bathroom to see if they kept a supply of salve, but found nothing. As she came out, a swarm of flies attacked her. They were everywhere!
As she was about to head to her camp, something purple caught her eye.
“Ooh, what’s this?” She checked out the small green bush. “Elderberries! Oh you guys are coming home with me.” She stood up and looked around. “Right after I find the Ranger’s station and pick up a cooler…”
The fresh air out here was wonderful! Rural Windenburg was great, but something about the mountains just called to her.
If Miera could live out here permanently she would, but the area was owned by Landgraab and Landgraab Inc., and they kept a tight hold over their rental properties.
Thank you so much! I’ve held on to this ask for awhile because I just don’t feel like an authority on this subject. I think everyone has a sim style, and I don’t always feel like my faces are as variant as I would like them.
That said, I had a few tips and ideas to share!
1. Study Faces. I’ve been fascinated by the human face my entire life. I studied to be a portrait artist so I’m always looking at people and imagining how I would draw them!
You don’t need to be an artist to be fascinated by faces though. Start collecting images of people whose faces strike you – I have a whole Pinterest board of them! You can use these images to base entire sims off of, or you could find just one particular facial feature inspires you.
2. Proportion. Here’s a very basic guide to human facial proportions. I like to make my sims feel a bit more realistic, and I’ve noticed that the default sims 4 faces have very large eyes and teeny tiny noses. So the first thing I start with is reducing the eye size and increasing the nose. I’ll also usually reduce the head size as well.
Then, once things are feeling more human, I mess with the proportions to create interesting shapes. Maybe one sim will have really wide-set eyes and a long nose; someone else might have a very small mouth and longer chin. Don’t be afraid to make non-conventionally attractive people. Play around and have fun!
3. Use Different Presets. This is kind of an obvious tip, but if you always use the same presets, it’s going to be hard to make different-looking sims. I am guilty of this – there’s a particular jaw that I prefer and I only use the eyes without eyelashes so I can use cc eyelashes. But try to stay out of preset ruts!
4. Profile. Don’t forget to visit the profile. You can have the best looking sim from the front, and then you turn to the side and they look like a frog. You can adjust the individual features as well as the depth of the entire face.
5. Touch Every Slider. I make a point to touch every slider, including in the detailed view, for every sim I make. Some will just have small changes, but I don’t leave anything exactly how the preset is.
6. Don’t underestimate the power of Skin Details. Skin details bring sims to life. Freckles, eye bags, nose masks, mouth corners, overlays, etc. – they all contribute to making your sims feel alive and unique. I have a collection of my favorite skin details here.
7. Step away and come back. Work on your new sim, then take a break and go do something else. When you return with fresh eyes, you will notice things you’d like to change that you didn’t see before.
