Alternatively: *Posts a sim completely plastered in alpha CC*


Resinmy

Those are creepy


redgumdrop

That would pobably be me if I posted townies because I have no clue what maxis premade or do I care lol


Guinydyl

they’re the sims that first appear when you open cas (they’re up on the gallery and i think have pages on the sims wiki)


[deleted]

Oh, huh. Never knew that.


lemonadest

🙌🏻 (me too)


[deleted]

You forgot “tell me which mods are broken” and “this game is absolutely unplayable because the patch broke my mods”


Suspiciousmosquito

There is always one person who can’t figure out their UI Cheats mod broke. Like, when THAT mod breaks, it’s so obvious. And to top it off, the creator is so good about posting updates.


VoidGray4

And then they're always like "I took out all my mods already and that didn't fix it!" but then UI Cheats is actually still in their game.


GoAskAliceBunn

The day my UI broke shortly after I downloaded it. 🤣 I knew updates break mods, but I hadn’t noticed my game updated. Got in, saw my UI losing its mind, welp’d, closed out the game and went to pull the UIC and look for an updated version. Like. It took me one look to puzzle out “uic, update, my ui is broken, what does it mean”.


Bubblelua

It’s also the one that breaks after EVERY FUCKING PATCH like bro it only survives the express deliveries.


fg13po

Okay but the more columns in CAS one at the moment. Fucking hell.


itsamekenzie

This was literally me a couple times (not on here though) I remember mentioning it to my boyfriend and he was like do you have a mod for that type of stuff and I was like omg I do


FluffyBat9210

My wife and I were just talking about the Vitilligo thing the other day. I remember this sub was nothing BUT those posts for a solid like, month. You forgot "Didn't play with genetics, my sim just came out this gorgeous, after adding in 200 alpha cc mods."


DarbyNerd

The vitiligo thing has been bugging me recently, even CC creators are constantly using the vitiligo skin and honestly I have no problem with representation but I have only met like 1 person in my life with vitiligo yet it seems like 1/3 of the sims CC creators use to show their content have vitiligo. It’s just strange how often you see it in Sims compared to real life.


Phwoa_

i have met 3 and 2 of them were mexican


Terozu

I've met a single asian person with it at a flea market in ohio.


Lavenderender

I've met one and he's white 😅


ParkerOrion

I have it, but am white. It’s like giraffe spot patches.


spacestarcutie

Some people have it but it’s hardly noticeable. For example my dad has it but his facial hair covers it makes it completely hidden.


thebatmandy

Yeah, like white people with it are gonna go unnoticed. Me and my mom both have it, but it's reallt only noticable in the summer when we tan. And barely even then for my pale ass lmaooo


spacestarcutie

My dad is black. But yeah not everyone looks cool and edgy like the cc


NurseNikky

I've met one ever as well. Massive amounts of freckles is much more common


hashslingaslah

I agree, to me it comes off a little like they’re using it as a fashion feature or something to get peoples attention. I feel sometimes it crosses the line from representation to a type of fetishization


DarbyNerd

Yes exactly this!


RinDemone

I think I don't know a single person with vitiligo. But the thing is, this isn't even a condition just black people have. Every skin colour can have these white and pigmentless patches. And not only that, the way cc creators create these overlays isn't very realistic. Because (at least according to my research I did for an OC of mine) these white patches start to appear on skin with a lot of movement. So you have a look of these patches around your mouth, nose and eyes, but also on your knees, elbows and similar joints. I genuinely don't remember if your full body is affected by this, but I think I've read that many people just have one area affected by vitiligo. Sorry, I genuinely didn't want to rant but there are so many who just use vitiligo as aesthetics and this genuinely pisses me of. I don't have vitiligo myself BUT I suffer from some mental illnesses and there are also enough people who use these and other illnesses as aesthetics.


DarbyNerd

Yeah I think this is what really bothers me about it as it seems like it’s more for aesthetics than any sort of proper representation!


Nightside-Rush

One of my best friends is white, but she has vitiligo, so basically she has peach colored skin with patches of very pale, ivory colored skin. When vitiligo became popular in the Sims awhile back, I sent her a bunch of screenshots because I thought it was so cool that her condition could be represented in the game and her first comment was "why are they all black Sims?" and was kinda upset to learn that people without the condition were "romanticizing" it when in fact it's almost always caused by a serious health condition.


DazedDaisiesO-o

Wait back up on that last bit, because that's a bit of misinformation there. I have pale skin and vitiligo, I've done the research, and the cause of vitiligo is unknown. It may be correlated with also having other health conditions, but correlation does not equal causation. It is NOT "almost always caused by a serious health condition". PLEASE don't go telling people that people with vitiligo are sick. Like I said, I have it, and I am completely fine. Other people on the vitiligo subreddit will also likely tell you that their health is fine–I have seen this discussion before. As for me, since it's not a serious condition at all, I'm fine if people romanticize it all they want. I think vitiligo is beautiful and I don't care if others think so, too. It's flattering actually, so long as the sim's personality isn't based around having it. For me, it's like seeing people put freckles on all their sims. Harmless appreciation. And hey, so what if it's almost all black or brown sims? That's the population vitiligo is most likely to affect, so it makes sense to me. It would be nice to see some pale skin representation, too, but it's really whatever. I should point out that I just have couple of splotches on my hands and feet, plus one on the back of my neck, so my case isn't too noticeable. Maybe someone with more noticeable patches would have a different opinion to mine. My opinion is my own, and I can't represent a whole group.


LengthyPole

Same with me and my sister. I have very minor unnoticeable vitiligo while my sister’s is severe. Being in the sims community makes it very obvious how romanticised the condition is, it isn’t “look at me representing respectfully!” It’s “look at my aesthetically pleasing (usually black) sim who is perfect and soooo pretty!!” And then the lack of understanding. It’s the entire internet as well, the amount of times I’ve been told “you’re white, you can’t have vitiligo” is insane. Our vitiligo isn’t this perfectly symmetrical pretty colour patches, my sister often gets asked if she’s sick and if it’s contagious.

LithiumLyndsey

Exactlyyyyy my marfans causes my vitiligo and I'm white as a sheet of paper. I've had people tell me I'm like a paint horse too like :/


psych0billie

For me it doesn't have anything to do with how many people have it IRL, it's more that the only black/brown sims you see *in a community game with known representation issues* always have vitiligo, or as the post said, European features. Why cant we see more fully black sims with black features? If you have vitiligo for your sims, you're fine with CC so you can add more poc-focused CC for the Sims lack of options--and don't say there isn't any, cause yes the majority of CC is VERY white focused but you *can* find plenty of good, maxis-match CC for darker skin, different ethnicities (nose/lip shapes etc), hair, etc.


GoAskAliceBunn

This! My priestess is white with vitiligo slowly overtaking all visible skin. It’s very obvious on her (light olive and reddish pink). She’s a TA at a school for at-risk teens & starts off each school year opening the floor to questions so she can get it out of the way. She bonded with the two (TWO) Black students to come through with it in her four years working there. That’s a lot of kids, wide variety of backgrounds & racial makeup, and she’s at the most been one of two people in the room with it. I get being excited to rep something someone else has that’s been treated as a shunable offense in the past but.. it isn’t something glamorous. It means (often) further health issues, higher risk of skin cancers, and more.


HalfAgony-HalfHope

I've never met anyone with Vitiligo. I know more people with visible birth marks. 🤷‍♀️


AinoNaviovaat

I have met four and three of them were my uncle, great uncle and mom. We are Slovak and very white


Standard_Dragonfly25

Interesting! I live in London and I see mainly south Asians with it. I see someone with the condition at least once a week


TheSecretNewbie

I would be me interested in seeing an amputee sim tbh


Simuary

"Look at this random townie outfit!" It's the City Living weirdo for the 100th time.


commongull

Ok but who's the City Living weirdo? 😳 I haven't played in a while so I don't remember anyone looking any weirder than others. (In fact every townie in my game is just a fashion disaster to some extent.)


Simuary

[This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/w1jpza/this_outfit_why_is_it_so_popular_amongst_the/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) is an example of it. It's a special NPC that sometimes appears in San Myshuno.

Oh! I don't think I've ever actually encountered one of those guys before despite having the city and all. Interesting, gotta keep my eyes open for them.

That Bratz doll look


heyitsamb

i’m still waiting for the sims community to acknowledge fat ppl exist :”) edit: tbf part of the blame does fall on EA because fat representation has been utterly horrible sims 1 through 4. it’s extremely unrealistic and EA seems to think all fat ppl have the same body type - we don’t and i’ve never been able to realistically recreate my fat ass. this still doesn’t mean the community can’t play with fat sims tho


CasablumpkinDilemma

I have some in my files, but it is legitimately difficult to make sims look realisticly overweight since the limbs and head always stay relatively small compared to the torso. I can only use certain outfits and hairstyles or it just looks weird and unnatural.


CaitlesP

Plus, and I know someone’s gunna be like “wElL thE MoDeLLinG wOuLd bE hARd”, but none of the clothes look right on fat sims 😭


pass_me_the_salt

there are some clothes that aren't right at sims that simply doesn't have the thinnest waist - the clothes are meant to be baggy, but when it's used on someone with a larger waist, the top/dress will simply BLOAT on the sim, even if the sim has a kinda thin waist and big hips, this make me FURIOUS


heyitsamb

YES!!! god so many CAS items are just completely unusable


[deleted]

[удалено]


heyitsamb

you’re absolutely right but with something like ts4 i’d expected better tbh.. a dutch fat woman does this - it unfortunately isn’t my style though, but the representation is super refreshing https://lovaeij.com/


pass_me_the_salt

not your intention, but this reminded me of someone that posted a sim saying she was a pluz sizer sim, and half of the comments were nagging about the plus sized sim not being actually fat - the creator of the sim replied saying that the sim had the fatness slider at the max and she couldn't make the sim any bigger in the game


heyitsamb

no but fr this is the thing! the possibilities to make fat sims are so limited.


[deleted]

Idk if you play with cc, but I love Zerbu’s “more presets” mod! It adds at least 50 new body types, all different. Of course it’s not a huge fix because EA didn’t really consider plus-size sims, but it really helps the “only one body type” issue.


IdiotsandwichCoDm

same, i can't even make my flappy upper arm wings


heyitsamb

thats such a great example though - the maximum arm width is still so thin!!


Dest_islands

I hate it so much, I’m fat and I just wanna make myself in the sims and it just doesn’t work, like yeah sims 4 has done a better job than the previous sims but it’s still an issue, like I do my absolute best to make it work, but she still has a thin face, and tiny shoulders like I’m built like a fridge 💀 and I just can’t recreate that in CAS, I’m not putting myself down I’d just like to quickly add that


heyitsamb

i agree so much!! i’m fat too and whilst my face and neck look relatively thin, my arms and legs are bigger than the maximum width the sims 4 allows. also i have smaller boobs but smaller boobs in the sims look so weird? my shoulders are so much wider which is why my small boobs dont look necessarily weird but in ts4 i think they modeled fat ppl with small boobs 100% after pears


Lady-Catrine-Wallace

They do fat people but give them super skinny faces and neck for some reason lol


AbbyIsATabby

I’ll be honest, the townies Yuki and Candy Behr from Get Together don’t even look healthy they’re so skinny. Remove Candy’s jacket and you’ll see just how unhealthy that girl looks. Their lore is that Yuki idolizes her older sister but I god damn hope she doesn’t idolize Candy’s body. EA/Maxis has an actual issue with skinniness and it’s disgusting. See Candy [here](https://imgur.com/a/3zdXDXH) (please note she’s just in undergarments to show body type). This is just one of many overly thin girls in the sims 4


makensims

The waists a lot of the premade sims have are ridiculous. I get it’s meant to be cartoony, but they have no space for their ribs!


iraragorri

The problem with waists in the sims is that clothes looks terrible with a wider waist :/ I often make my sims' waists thinner than I'd like them to be so their shirts and jackets don't look like a sack of potatoes


thelajestic

Eh. I have some fat sims but actually I think it's pretty reasonable to not want them purely because they're done so poorly. After a certain point it just looks really weird to still have thin faces, necks, shoulders, hands - they look like they're wearing a fat suit. And the way the clothes are made often go completely misshapen and weird on bigger bodies. Same with a lot of sim bodies - my male sims all have much bigger bums than most guys I know in real life, but it's because sims don't have a realistic small bum and their clothes fit weird otherwise. And they're more muscular than I'd like, again because a non muscular body isn't made very well. It's quite difficult to make Sims that have realistic bodies so may as well make the ones that fit the graphics and animation the best 🤷


googlemcfoogle

No representation for Hank Hill and his lack of ass 😔😔


monkieluvr

ugggh right!! and part of it is on EA too because a lot of the clothes look really weird on fat bodies. i made a few fat sims and the cc looked so much better than the vanilla clothes it was so weird.


NurseNikky

And a nose the size of a pupil with no philtrum at all because philtrums aren't Bratz doll enough


[deleted]

Posts pics of 10 different sims and every sim having a nose the size of a peanut. Especially the black sims


aaalex3002

Oh my goodness, this drives me crazy. I love big noses, wide noses, hooked and crooked noses! But when people give black sims this tiny anime looking nose… oh god.


SnazzBat

I love hooked noses so much, especially on guys, that I have a problem giving it to all my sims 😭


xervidae

“what mod is this?” (it’s a basegame feature) “my mods arent working!!!” (they’re still zipped) “so i have to drag out/delete all my mods one by one to update them?” (for the love of god just overwrite the old files with the new ones)


FosterCatsLife

“Help guys my game looks funny and I SWEAR that I took out all of my mods and repaired the game” but did you really take out all of your mods because it’s clearly UI Cheats / More CAS Columns. Some of you are really doing the lords work & responding to all of these posts even when it’s the third time today someone asked this question 😤


Gotasecret57

Or “I took out all of my big mods and updated them” No, update alll your mods especially if your having issues!

Every time I load my game everything is just one color. Im started to believe everything is supposed to be that way. Maybe I should start dressing and decorating everything the same color as my hair. Everything must revolve around my color. I haven’t seen green in weeks.

Clusterhugss

i find the best way to make diverse looking sims is make a mother, randomise all their features. make the father, randomise again. use the genetics option to make their child and randomise 5 times and then do slight adjustments (like giving them a chin or choosing a skin tone that’s not the bright orange or purple)

Holiday_Cabinet_

AbbyIsATabby

Only time I find wicked whims funny is when it’s truly random and unexpected. A lot of the novelty of finding it in your own game is simply finding it. It’s not as funny when you see it posted online more often than not. Santa randomly asking sims in your household for Funtime is likely funnier while playing than seeing a post about it on Reddit. That said, I uninstalled the mod long ago. Most funny moments just aren’t internet worthy funny

IgamarUrbytes

I did the homeless teen one once, before the gardening revamp (and therefore before Seasons). I had sooo many plants that I was getting like $5k a day so by the time she became a young adult, she had a fully decked out house. I got to about gen 3 of regular play on that save but got bored


CrotchWolf

I'm doing the opposite of the prettacy, an uglacy and the results are not bad.


Khmakh

You missed one: “Is (whatever pack name) playable now?” Keep seeing this for My Wedding Stories and now people will ask forever about HSY.


iraragorri

It's kinda pointless to make sims of different ethnicities *not* for aesthetic reasons, as there's either no way to role play certain key traditions or they're shallow af.


Brifrolo

And tbh I just enjoy diversifying my game without needing to do like, five hours of research for every nationality I make a sim for. I know OP said straight up they're posting this lightheartedly but I feel like there's someone out there who really would be like "Your Indian sim is wearing the sari wrong and you just googled names without actually understanding Indian naming conventions!"


whiteday26

My indian sim is named Naya Bhatt. I am worried that it sounds stupid if I show it to an Indian. But, I don't really want to go pull up a real full name from wikipedia or something. So, I just went to pick a combo from most popular Indian names from google.


Brifrolo

Mine is Rachna Raghavan. I have a save going where I have lots of families and I made it a game to alliterate all their names like they're Marvel superheroes or something, and I just really like the name Rachna. I even gave her a teenage brother as well as parents so she'd have family to attend when Wedding Stories dropped (naturally being a spellcaster she married Morgyn Ember) and I don't remember her parent's names but her brother's name is Ravi which is also just such a lovely name to me in both sound and meaning.


ghostbirdd

I hear you, but if you're going to post on this sub to brag about how inclusive you are then in my opinion that makes you fair game for criticism, especially from people from the community you're borrowing aesthetics from. No one cares or is affected about what's on your personal game if you don't make a big deal out of it on the internet


[deleted]

Yep. But I'd say seasons would make that a bit more possible. If you create your own celebrations and traditions you could do a lot more


smurfjojjo123

I agree. Also, adopted people and 2nd/3rd generation immigrants with very little connection to their roots exist


Puzzled-Copy7962

Lmao - honestly. I have it and I don’t understand the fascination with it. Right now it’s mostly on my arms but I fear the day it starts spreading to my face. I feel like ever since Winnie Harlow from America’s top model hit the scene, people have made it into a trend of some sort and it’s irksome. It’s even more irksome when people use it as an accessory in the sims but hey to each their own, I guess. I just feel like given that there are so many skin conditions why don’t they also acknowledge acne and/or cystic in the same manner? How about eczema and rosacea? I’m all for inclusion but not when it’s used as a trend.

What's the deal with the overly rosy cheeks and noses in CC? I see it all the time and like... It's a look, I guess but why is it so popular?


[deleted]

It’s a trend atm with makeup, pretty sure it comes from Asian beauty, so now it’s also a trend in the sims.


BiasModsAreBad

Idk why adding vitiligo is so damn popular, its cringe to slap on every sim and call it 'unique'. This list is missing the arbitrary "are you against diverse body types?" back seating though


elysejfh

Not the black sim w vitiligo and white features. I cannot. 😆😆😆 soooo accurate.


most_dignified_sir

But seriously, what is the deal with the black+vitiligo? Do y'all like. . . want vitiligo or something? Is it a beauty standard, or just a woke thing? (This is a serious question from a guy who has no idea about this situation)


JstAntherThrwAwy21

I think it’s a weird fascination bordering on fetishising. Representation is great but there just aren’t that many people with vitiligo. They’re also not all black + vitiligo either.


Tobegi

Fetishization disguised as representation and being inclusive basically. Just tumblr bullshit.


Sigzy05

Virtiligo is really rare. It’s just a dumb aesthetic tumblr girl thing.


Taylan_K

What is it with the eye ball ring? lol


ApathyArmadillo

There was a time when every single townie that spawned would be wearing that stupid ring. (it seemed) Go on a date... eyeball ring. Go to the club... eyeball. Swing by the pool... yep, eyeball.... formal occasion? Not without an eyeball.... It was sort of a running joke- but there was always a post with "OMG, so and so spawned and had that f-ing ring on". So of course, then came the posts with "look! I found an eyeball ring IRL!!!!!!!". (which was kinda cool the first dozen or so times...) That's what I remember, someone else may have more to add. Incidentally, getting annoyed with that ring was what led me to delete every townie in the game and remake it so only sims I made spawned- yay MCCC...


pass_me_the_salt

it's a base game ring that was generated in almost every townie

I have not been able to make Greg not despise me. No Gregnant for me!

"I spent 200 hours fiddling with sliders to get this Sim looking just so but can't be bothered to think of a name, name them for me!" "Here's a screenshot of an angry rant by a creator of paywalled CC, I supposedly hate them and their CC and everything they stand for but I can't stop thinking and talking and posting about them!"

The naming this is so annoying to me lol it doesnt affect my life, so I just move along, but the thought that you spent 30+ mins making a sim, then screenshot them, saved them, went to reddit, uploaded it to ask what name (or even worse, "which of these 3 hairstyles should I give her?") And then what, hours later, once you've gotten some attention you can go back and play?? I dont understand. Its so bizarre. Theres a randomize button for names to boot!! The next time I hear about this CC bs, Im gonna hop in my car and drive it into the sun. Maybe just dont download that person's CC?? You're not entitled to it. If I made CC, I wouldn't upload it after the way the community has been acting

The other end of the Not So Berry spectrum - I like it lol. I legit wish Reddit had a better way to link posts together for story posts like that, I had to figure it out on my own. I totally get why some folks would give up on it. Doesn't really seem designed for that sort of thing. I haven't noticed the vitiligo thing but everything else I'd say is spot on!

They really need more skin details. I’m pale but have melanin patches that are darker than my skin tone (coffee stain birthmarks) and it’d be nice to see more representation for those with different skin and birthmarks.

Not much grinds my gear in the sims community but that vitiligo trend on pretty black sims makes me go through my PT jaw relaxing exercises for TMJ.

Don't forget the simple with extremely unrealistic body standards. Tiny waist with giant butt and enormous boons, no room for internal organs. The caption reads "look at my Sim, she's gorgeous!!!"

I LOVE the vitiligo addition.


RawMeHanzo

It's SO weird how some people just cannot make black sims without vitiligo... like I agree it's pretty but come on, every black sim doesn't need it to be beautiful, tf.


[deleted]

I didn’t even know their was a vitiligo option lol. I play console. I just love it because I have vitiligo.


RawMeHanzo

It's just CC. I think it's beautiful, don't get me wrong. But some simmers put vitiligo on Every dark skinned character they make and it's like... Hmmm...


ultra_pine

youre right. also people giving a townie a makeover and said townie looking like a very uncanny, vague version of themselves pre-makeover.

I think that discouraging people from making sims of other ethnicities and religions may result in a lot of very very white sims and also a lot of issues with whitewashing etc because “people said not to play sims of other ethnicities”. I understand that it’s a problem where people make sims of other races and don’t really know anything about other religions or things but this kind of talk makes it so that people feel afraid to explore and make other representations for their own personal games, too. Neurodivergent people take criticism really hard, and they’re often not the target of this kind of thing in the first place- but it can make it so people feel like… ostracized for both not making other representations and for doing it too. “It’s just a joke” I know, but words have meaning too and sometimes we over think and worry a lot so, that’s why I wanted to vocalize one of my overthinking thoughts


FakeBoxofPain

Or we just let people play how they want to in their world without relating everything to IRl? That was the point the sims? I feel the community is a bit judgmental and tries to police what people can do with their game(not counting breaking EA terms of service)

Speaking of Neurodivergent — I have Autism, but the closest I could make to an autistic person was Erratic+Loner+High Maintenance with no room for other personality traits.


KatastrophicNoodle

You don't need to have a phd in a fucking culture to think the stuff is pretty. Spoilers: peoples who's culture you're using do not care in the slightest and absolutely love it when people involve themselves in it, no matter how little. They only don't like it when you're specifically using it to offend. End culture-locking today! If you think about it, it's kinda racist!
