How Jessica got her groove back.

[strangetomato]

I've agreed to help meetme2theriver fix the premade sims with broken genetics (due to being created from broken templates — see her post for more details), which will essentially involve me recreating some of these sims from scratch using the fixed templates. Not exactly simple, but it's sort of like solving a puzzle, so I thought it'd be kinda fun.

Here's where you come in: I need feedback. I know my first draft isn't perfect, but I need some fresh eyes to have a look at it and to help me decide what else needs to be done. If you're good with BodyShop sliders, feel free to pick her apart and offer suggestions.

 

This last angle is the least accurate, but also the most difficult for me to figure out. Advice is very welcome.

All I can really see is chin height and upper lip width... it's really very close! You did that from scratch? :O

[llama-ramalon.livejournal.com]

I am in no way an expert, but I might suggest that you bring the lip a click back?

[cosmetical.livejournal.com]

They are really close. I'd say the upper lip needs a little more fullness, forehead should come out a click, and jaw should probably go in a click. Maybe go a bit wider in the nose? It's really hard to tell, which is probably a good testimony to how well you're doing.

Edit: oops. I assumed yours on the left. If that isn't so, I guess you would do the opposite of any of these suggestions. :P

This is really impressive. o_o

Yours is the one of the right, correct? I think her face is a little too long. I'd start with pulling it up a click or two, maybe adjust her chin to match if you need to. Her nose looks a smidge too big so you might want to try shrinking it just a click or so; rotating the bridge out might smooth that area out, more like the original. I second thinning her lips a little.

All in all, though, wow. These are really close; I didn't realize they were different at first!

It's really good! Thanks again for helping. :)

I pretty much second will_o_whisper, lips and nose a tad too big, and the chin needs to go in a bit.

Also, simlili found another one. Sohpia Jocque. D: I realise how time-consuming this is, though, so I could give it a go myself. I'm currently doing some random checking of other pre-mades I haven't played much with, to see if there's anyone else I've missed...

The lower jaw looks like it needs clicking back, as well as something being done concerning the lips, making them skinnier and less full-shaped, and also the cheekbones at the eyes a tad higher. And lower face less full, and smaller nose. :)

She's looking great! I can't add anything new (lips and nose a bit big, maybe, but it has been mentioned already), but have to say you guys are doing an amazing job fixing this. <3 <3

Wow, talk about having no under-chin flab - Maxis really cranked that all the way back.

I'm really impressed! This is a fantastic match case. I can see a few tweaks I'd try - like bringing up the nose length one click, and then lowering the nose tip to get that sharper 'v' shape - but you're spot on.

Pic #3: The one on the right - the lower cheek bulge is sticking out too far by 1 maybe 2 clicks.
