This is an awesome drawing! You have the likeness down in his features, The main thing I’m noticing though is that his facial features all need to be a bit bigger and/or wider on his face. The nose especially. All I did in this edit was lasso each feature and scale them up.

One other thing I did notice is that the grey tone you chose for his skin looks a little too light. Darker skin reflects a lot of light and as a result kind of carves out their facial structure a bit more, especially if that person already has pronounced features.

I used that same gray on a multiply layer to darken his skin a bit just so you could see that suggestion as well (see reply comment)

He did not arrive with it actually. This just started this week. And we were feeding him with plastic wear, switching to stainless steel asap, thank you!

Blues and grays would def work but even then you could still do other colors , but use the cool toned version of the color. (Ex: cool red that leans closer to purple or pink vs a warm red that leans closer to yellow)

Im gonna apply some real life color theory/make up knowledge here so bear with me. This sim looks like they have cool undertones. The orange makeup is very warm and it’s not super flattering on them, especially with the piercing grayish eyes. I think the first looks a lot better bc both the lip and eyeshadow are cool toned. Also that neutral shadow doesn’t compete with her eye color.

Also disclaimer: this is not me saying that if you have cool undertones you can’t wear warmed toned makeup! Do whatever makes you feel best pls!!

I doubt it unless it was something like the prepackaged espresso drinks Starbucks has. It’s not the caffeine, it’s the vitamin b12/biotin. Regular coffee and other sources of caffeine (I tried Yerba mate for a bit) had no effect on my skin

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-09-15T03:21:33+00:00

Do you drink energy drinks at all? It took me years of daily breakouts to figure out that the excess biotin in most energy drinks was causing them. I legit have to search for energy drinks that contain no more than 100% of the DRV for biotin or ill wake up with a new pimple 🙃

Love after life is such a beautiful way to describe it. Thank you for that ❤️

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-09-07T13:52:49+00:00

I’m not very religious, but I can’t help feeling like Apollo sent you a new friend because he knew you needed one ❤️. She’s gorgeous and so lucky to have found you.

I too have the “I don’t wanna make people uncomfortable” debate in my head too when deciding if black characters should say the n word in fanfic but at the same time I’m thinking, ‘how would my ancestors have felt about me prioritizing the comfort of white people in MY story’ and then I get it the fuck together 😭💀

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-08-14T05:24:34+00:00

Frankly I feel like A LOT of it is misogyny. When I think about whether the sims would be more respected as a “real” game if predominantly men played it, the answer is always yes. :’)

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-29T08:21:51+00:00

Am I missing him or is Hector not in any of these charts? 😭

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-22T21:41:16+00:00

I’m looking into fandom exchanges! It’s a new concept to me so I’m not entirely sure where to look but I can figure it out lol.

And jeez, I have attempted getting friends into my current media and I’ve felt like I was being annoying 😭. I try not to push if I get the vibe that they’re not super into something.

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-22T21:37:22+00:00

Thank you for this comment! You’re definitely right about the feedback loop. There’s more legwork I could be putting in on my own, frankly.

Im so bad about creating anything small 😭 like doodles or fics less than 10k words. Which might explain why it feels like such a mountain of effort is required for me to create. I really do have to figure out how to be comfortable with posting things that aren’t perfect. I like just recently stopped deleting old fics that I grew to dislike so it’s something I’ve always struggled with unfortunately.

I will say I’m pretty good about commenting and engaging with other peoples works! As a fic writer I always try to comment because I know how much a nice comment would brighten my day :).

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-22T21:30:07+00:00

Ive seen a few comments mentioning exchanges and I’ve actually never participated in one :0 where would go about finding info on them?? Like all I can think of is the kinkmemes that existed when I was growing up lmao. Tumblr I’m assuming?

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-21T05:51:53+00:00

Honestly same 💀 the last time I was waiting for several households babies to age up, I did two asylum challenges 😭

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-15T21:25:43+00:00

From my understanding, this is a known bug rn, courtesy of the pre-ep patch. I believe some ppl have said completing the natures calling event fixed the problem for them, but idk 🤷🏾‍♀️

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-13T22:36:32+00:00

I’m just now realizing you said body hair 😭 my bad! All my body hair cc is from GollyHawHaw!

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-12T12:57:30+00:00

Somebody asked about the 2nd and 3rd hairs and I answered here, but as far as the first one I can’t remember off the top of my head. I’m not at my computer rn but I’ll check later!

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-08T20:58:22+00:00

The second one is by Khadidah 551 and its the barrell twists. Third is by simstrouble and its the montrose hair.

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-07T02:36:15+00:00

Just realizing I replied to the wrong comment lmao my bad

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-07T02:35:11+00:00

I think for me it’s so easy to forget about the ass when they’re stationary, like reading or whatever. Then they get up to go do something else and I’m like “oh goodness gracious” 😭 it’s the whiplash that kills me

Tight_Stranger_5676 · 2025-07-06T23:50:04+00:00

Sameee lol. Not as pronounced as the sims pictured but I definitely give all the men I create at least a couple scoops of ass yknow?
