im ngl i hate this, i hate using the “popular now” in the gallery bc they all look the same. even the extremely few that have dark skin have the exact same features. its so frustrating 😭
@@D1EN0 I imagine the issue is that the features are all eurocentric, changing someones skin colour doesn't change their ethnic features, the average Asian person does not have the same facial structure as the average French person. Just changing the colour of a sim doesn't make them look any more diverse, you still have to edit their facial features. Which is fine, but it makes sense to be upset that all the popular sims look the same
@@RecyclableeIt sucks but you have to put in whatever ethnicity you want to find before base sim. So “Asian base sim.” It shouldn’t be that way but sadly it is. But I’ve found that works better for me than just “base sim”
Idk personally I like using the randomized sims for my bases so I have more options to start with. I want a sim with a large nose? I randomize until I find a nose that I like the shape of. I usually start with the nose lol. Makes my sims look a lot more diverse!
I love making sims, but it gets to a point where I just took a hour and a half to get started😭😭 (Thanks for the tips especially the base Gallery one I would’ve never thought of that!)
I like randomizing sims until they match what I'm thinking as much as possible so I only have to make little adjustments. I can spend forever on making all their outfits though, I can't stand my sims wearing mismatched unflattering outfits
I wish there was a way to copy the makeup, and outfits to different outfit categories. Or even just switch the outfit your making to a different category. There’s been so many times I’ve been making one of the outfits and went “actually I want this look for cold/hot weather instead” or something like that. Also sometimes I don’t WANT to design 6 different outfits for my sim all at once! Let me just design one, and maybe add more later.
@@ellatobias7664 I have that mod, is that something I can do IN CAS? Because copying and pasting shit in the MCCC menus is the opposite of convenience and kinda defeats the purpose of what I’m trying to do.
Right?? I brought this up in a previous video, so many people said it is possible with MCC but it's like yes, I know that's a solution but it's very slow and still doesn't solve the core issue of it not being a game feature!!
It’s coming in a new update! I’m so excited because this is what I’ve been asking for for so long. Especially when it comes to smaller things like makeup, nails, head accessories, etc.
remember you can also change anyone in your household without the cheat by pressing “change sim” on the mirror. it’s basically full edit mode without the simology
I’ll start with a base Sim, and then everyone gets randomized. Select the eyes, roll the randomizer three times, and work from there. Repeat for all features. It works pretty well! I do that for their traits, too.
or just use your own previously made sims as a base. another option is remove EVERYTHING off the preloaded sim (hair, makeup, clothing, etc), select feature presets, and then tweak from there.
I always just randomize each element until it all fits perfectly to what I'm looking for. Then I go in and fine tune everything. Much faster than the way I used to do it.
I just have my own base and then randomize the face a couple of times to get inspiration. And tbh I kinda love this starter sim lady :D she's an icon to me
I need to download that CAS mod right now. I play a lot of spellcasters and omg they won't stop moving. I use the CAS cheat all the time on the townies. I feel like the fashion police fixing all the randomized outfits 😅
Great tips Ive started just using the same sims Ive already made over and over again Luckily I have a lot, and if I want a newer sim I use the dna, make a child, and age them to adult and delete the original sims I think it's obvious Im not really a CAS player
When I had the game before I moved states and had to leave my PC behind I ALWAUS used the gallery “Base Sim” and I’d always adjust some features so it wasn’t exactly like the OG base, and I’d always use CAS.fulledit mode before I found out about the MCC mod
i always just randomize until i get an ok-looking face then weak from there 😭 i suck at making male sims' faces look right they always look like they have "yaoi genetics" when i'm left to my own devices 😭
How do you go online bc when I try to do that it’s just says must be online or something plus if I try to download or place a house from the gallery it just says contains new updates or something but when I restart the game like it tells me I still can’t download/place the house. Why is that?
I really wouldn't recommend base Sims. I find that their faces are too stock standard, to Barbie and Ken, they're based on beauty standards which means that they'll pretty much always be the same skin tone have the same face presets and body type. Sure it's your fame and if you want them all to look that way, that's great and all, but you don't need to focus on what's pretty to make unique and interesting looking Sims.
My issue is the “base sims” are too attractive. Like I wanna live a normal life for my normal sims. They should always look like the main character of a romance movie lol
I want someone to teach me how to make good looking no cc sims while not using any cc at all. Cause i don’t understand how but the ea default skin looks so damn ugly in my game but whenever watching yt videos etc it doesn’t look that bad. Like why is it that it looks so bad for me? 😢
some face/nose/mouth presets are worse with shadows than others! Also a lot of RUclipsrs use modded CAS lighting or game shaders which makes the base game skin/shadows look better without using skin cc. I do have a YT short with tips for making good sims without cc (my most viewed short) if you want to watch it!
The full version of the tips and tricks video includes tips WITH and WITHOUT cc. This short is 2 of the total 16 tips from the long one, nothing "happened" to cc. Console players can't install cc so I give tips for both.
I haven't seen any base sims that use custom content personally and I use that method all the time. If you're searching the gallery without putting "base sim" in the title that will happen, but the whole point of making base sims is to use base game content which most people do.
Its harder to create yourself and friends in sims 4 than it ever was in sims 3 i think theyre feeding into propaganda and it really annoys me. Like i actually try to make mine look like people i know 😂😅
The fact that you have to use cheat codes and other people’s content to play the game the way you want I dunnoooo I think it’s just not that good of a game 😭✋🏻
Do anyone have this problem, must sims that are generated are sims that ive deaigned on old saves. The lady with the side part and the asian boy on the side i literally created them As well as the brown skined space bun girl that the sims team loves so much. Is anyone noticing this?!?!
unfortunately by nature "popular" means whichever sims are used the most, and that is usually based on the same societal standards of the playerbase and averages, which are very samey... If you don't mind scrolling a bit though, I still find it's better being able to choose which base sim you start with rather than the random ones
The full version of this video with 15+ tips and all links is on my channel 🤗
the issue is that all the popular base sims are the exact same sim reuploaded 😭
I'm pretty sure if you scroll a bit there's some different ones 😊
@@Jaz_SimsYeah, you just have to scroll a bit. There are Sims without gigantic lips and supermodel stares to find, I promise.
And they more often than not have Pixar porportions
You can check the WYSIWYG hashtag and sims without that come in
@@nallukka2002it’s giving “Pixar mom” ya know
im ngl i hate this, i hate using the “popular now” in the gallery bc they all look the same. even the extremely few that have dark skin have the exact same features. its so frustrating 😭
Yeah they all looked like the same generic model like im sure its great for some but theres like zero variety.
Then choose the one you want and make it dark skin??
They are a bit samey at the top but the alternative is sort by "newest" and it's much harder to find good sims that way than putting "most popular"

@@depositstomach1816 the presets never look right to me idk
This was the reminder I needed to get the stand still in cas mod!
Honestly I couldn't go back to not using it!
I love making sims, but it gets to a point where I just took a hour and a half to get started😭😭

@@Zie731thats what i normally do but it takes forever😭
I hear ya. 2 years and im on gen 4. 😂 i play almost everyday too!
@@Zie731 reall
Omg yes i need the mod because my spellcaster Sims do their damn magic every few seconds in CAS and it's driving me crazy
Don't forget the Werewolves howling every 5 seconds 😭

you can! unfortunately you need a mod for it- the mc command center by deaderpool.

Next update
It’s coming in a new update! I’m so excited because this is what I’ve been asking for for so long. Especially when it comes to smaller things like makeup, nails, head accessories, etc.
I actually kind of like "base asian sim with glasses dude". I've made some good looking fellas with him as my base!
I dont think they're bad! just after 10 years of the same handful of starter sims is 😴
remember you can also change anyone in your household without the cheat by pressing “change sim” on the mirror. it’s basically full edit mode without the simology
I’ll start with a base Sim, and then everyone gets randomized. Select the eyes, roll the randomizer three times, and work from there. Repeat for all features. It works pretty well! I do that for their traits, too.
Omg the freeze cheat will be a life savor 😫 THANK YOU
or just use your own previously made sims as a base. another option is remove EVERYTHING off the preloaded sim (hair, makeup, clothing, etc), select feature presets, and then tweak from there.
Okay but the girl on the left of the first three is my favorite starter sim, I use her all the time for gameplays 🥰
I prefer the stand still mod because sometimes i make sims with their body parts exagerate and i can only notice it with the walking animation
I like that feeling of really putting tike and effort into my sims so that I feel more connected to them! Bug this is actually a really good idea!
If you zoom into the face it will pose the sim perfectly when putting in clockspeed 0
trying to make a spellcaster is actually hell without the stay still in CAS mod
from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU 🎉
Guys you can install cc for realistic and better looking sim
Ok but like how do we get those SUPER COOL FACES AND SUPER REALISTIC HAIR😭
I always just randomize each element until it all fits perfectly to what I'm looking for. Then I go in and fine tune everything. Much faster than the way I used to do it.
You can also just click on the lightbulb down near the arrows for undone
Yep! That's in the full video with all my other tips 😊
i have a few oc's and two of them i can't quite get them to look how i pictured so i will def try using a base sim!!
Also! There is a gallery randomize button and it will pull you random sims that got maxis’s approval
I just have my own base and then randomize the face a couple of times to get inspiration. And tbh I kinda love this starter sim lady :D she's an icon to me
I've been lucky with random starter sims. I only just do some small tweaks
I need to download that CAS mod right now. I play a lot of spellcasters and omg they won't stop moving.
I use the CAS cheat all the time on the townies. I feel like the fashion police fixing all the randomized outfits 😅
Thank you for this awesome tip
The Sim on the thumbnail is gorgeous! Is she on the gallery?
This is very helpful 😂❤
It sounds like I need to start making good base sims for the masses: I’ll start taking requests on what features you’re looking for
Thank you for this
I’ve started using the sim bases cuz the ones you load into are so overstimulating to look at LOL
How do you get them I don't have them
@@user-le1mm8rz9e search sim base in the gallery like in the video :))
THIS IS GENIUS THANK UU❤❤
Update I just did this now and omssss this is amazing it's made It so much easier ❤❤ thank u for this
Great tips

Tbh the base sim will make my life easier because I LOVE making feminine male characters but I can NEVER get their facial features to look softer 💀
What cc eyelashes are these please?!

This is actually so helpful I cannot for the life of me make male sims that don't have a weird face
The first sim looks like Jade Picon who is a influencer in Brasil...
I don't know why but for me it just shows "no results found". What am I doing wrong?
If it looks like Shrek or a humanoid D&D race, then it's the best sim ever 😂
love it
thx cutieeee❤️❤️❤️
Spellcadters literally will NOT stop moving in CAS it’s so annoying… like yah bud, you can do magic, neat, now HOLD STILL
can you put the ponytail sim on the gallery please? xx
I wish I had gallery I don't have it
THANK YOU
I hate how much spellcasters move in CAS. So much, that I practically stopped playing with them all together
I just watched an episode of Friends and at the start of this video for the first few seconds I thought it was Emily speaking on this video
Is there a console edition of this video??

How do you go to the gallery on my PS4? I don’t see the gallery when I open my library.
Maybe you’re not connected to wifi or you dont have the ea account
My issue is the “base sims” are too attractive. Like I wanna live a normal life for my normal sims. They should always look like the main character of a romance movie lol
Oh my god, ive been taking 3-4 hours fixing a base sims face, when they have free base sims on the gallery?😭

Do i need to have a mod to modify any sim in case?

Ong mods save this game. Thanks for the comtent
wow, what was the point of cas stand still if we had that featured the whole time?🤦🏾♀️
What the cc for the lashes?? I love them
Miiko's lashes! I think it's the Part 4 ones!
Me who puts 0 effort in cas: hm, that's useful ✍🏻
what CC hair was on the sim for the cas clockspeed section? Ive been looking for hair exactly like this
I cant remember the name but its a hair by Ah00b i think! Hope you find it 🙏🏻

How about something for console? *Cries in xbox* It sucks because I dont have a way of playing on pc.
How to I get the base sims?
Somtimes, aka 90% of the time, I open the sims. Spend 2 hours making a sim. Finally start playing and then immediately turn off my Pc
So only 1 tip to really make better sims
How was kill an immediate option
Ikr 😂
How do U actually install Sims 4… is it free?

That's nice... but I'm on ps.
Do this work on xbox
I tried to make a sim look like me and all her kids had lips that look like they are doing the kissy duck lips
I cant do it!
Neither can I 😭
It didn't work..
I can see that Awful Shopping Cart...
I dont even notice it anymore I've just blocked it out
