Before and After Results (Refresh)
🕑 Added 2025-06-26 15:26:12 +0000 UTCI wanted to show the HUGE difference in realism and quality.
The 1st version of Lorde is more Maxis Match Content (Not as realistic)
The 2nd version of Lorde is more Alpha (Very Realistic)
When I create sims, I like to keep shadows, and this mainly happens when a face is 100% not mirrored or obviously has shadows. Unless you personally ask (Requests/Commissions to NOT have these it must be told up front. I need as much details as possible)
Also, with my sims each sim is made specifically to a sim base. This means more and likely if you put a celeb skin on a random sim it will not look right this includes the eyes as well!! I study the face and shape it to match the image being used to my best ability. I was using certain head presets to be more identical, but this was causing bleeding through cc hairs. I try to get all facial features as close as possible unless I am unaware such as ear shape or body shape.
Experimenting in Photoshop has helped me a lot!! If you are not using the CAS lighting included in each zip file your sims will look nothing like mine do. They will be washed out and not as realistic in my opinion.
I DO NOT focus on perfecting hair bases. I feel like the sims face is #1 since majority of people use hairstyles for their sims. I make semi female ones and full male ones. If asked or it is necessary, I will make a full female one.
Just wanted to show you all the difference.
