Instead, make them small and shapely! Try to avoid all-round eyes (and roundly shaped brows!), because that is just boring and drains the personality and emotion out of the face completely (even if the rest of the face would look great!). So in general, a very defined jawline is a fool-proof way of giving the face a defined look!ģ. So shape that jawline, cheekbones and brows! With males in particular, giving the jawline the maximum amount of definition works pretty much always, and by giving the jawline different widhts and heights and working with the chin you will get variation. Roundness in general is boring and doesn't offer much to look at. AVOID ROUNDNESS, PREFER EDGYNESS AND SHAPING. This requires practice though, so that the eye gets used to the non-ea way of the face proportions.Ģ. This basically means that make especially the nose, eyes and the mouth (often jawline also) 'small' so that the slider value is well below the middle point. EA sims have huge, over-catroony and unreal proportions, so think small when it comes to proportions (in comparison to EA's slider values, that is). Here are the rules of thumb which I have found that work pretty much ALWAYS.ġ. Note that I haven't used any slider hacks in this tutorial, so if you do use them, you might want to tone down some of the advices where it is suggested that the slider value is set to absolute maximum/minimum! I offer you the ball, and you decide where you run with it.Īll of the pictures show the sims with the same neutral expression animation to ephasize the sculpt. These instructions merely offer a fool-proof way of making good basic sculpts, so this is not the Ultimate Truth or anything. These rules of thumb are just the very basics, aiming to help to see the non-ea way of sim-making. This tutorial gives the tools to self-practice, so if you will apply these tips while practicing you should be able to learn how to make good, fail-proof facial sculpts - in your own, unique way! This tutorial is for anyone, with difficulty level hard to determine since sim-making is very much about in the eye of the creator.

And in the process of learning, I realized how much a good sculpt really matters in the end! So this tutorial aims to show the importance of a unique and good facial sculpt, and all the difference it can make with a sim - with or without cc! It shows how to create a solid foundation of sim making - a good, balanced facial sculpt. I had to learn how to make unique sims without CC for a world-project.
