Eyes are a pain since sometimes you can't get the eye lash you want with the eye-shape you want.
Double for me since I use CC lashes and I get stuck with a thick monolash just to get the eyes I need.
I wish you could adjust eye lash lengths independently.
Definitely the Same Face Syndrome. Whenever I make a sim whether it be a GIRL or a BOY. They would always have the same set of eyes, bone structure and etc. I more often base them on as many real people pictures now to help me get some new faces for my sims

When trying to recreate Sims from real life people, the eyes and overall face shape seem to be the worst for me. I don't seem to struggle with nose or lips, and the cheeks I just arbitrarily mess around with until I get the shape I want. But the eyes seems to kill me...takes forever to get right sometimes.
Though, one of my worst issues when recreating real people is the hair. While the styles are generally good, it's the color. I really do not like that certain haircolors only have one highlight option available. That drives me nuts. And sometimes I like certain hairstyles, but cannot get it in solid color...it may come with some crazy highlight, like blue or green!
Maybe it’s a little trivial but I struggle a lot with picking a name. Doesn’t matter if it’s Male or female: I have a thing for picking names that complement my sims well.

I'd recommend the EA lash remover by Cien Rosa (I think that's their name?). It also has an option to put the EA lashes back at anytime in Skin Details
I always have a hard time with their traits. I never know what to give them and always wind up using the same ones over and over.
Try randomizing traits. It's game-changing.
Yeah i've tried that. The problem is if I don't like the traits they get I just keep randomizing till they get one I do. Then they just wind up with the same traits again. Guess i'm just too picky
Have a super fantastic awesome splendid amazing day! -TheQxxn
Makeup is a thing I just skip over entirely. The stuff we get from the game doesn't even look that good; maybe it would work if there was a way to lower the opacity, but there isn't. And I don't care enough to hunt down CC for it; it's just not my thing at all.
Cheeks for me - I don't want them to be too thin but not too chubby either. I will spend ages slightly adjusting the depth of the cheeks, and moving cheek bones up and down, then turning my Sims to the side to see how they look from that angle. It's a difficult balance to find imo.
the makeup. Honestly it has to be perfect to me, everything else can be a disaster but as long as the makeup is good i'm fine. One time I spent 3 hours choosing the make up (I have cc) and then realized she didn't have the skin color I wanted.
Sims Games I like to play - Sims 2 / Sims Medieval / Sims 2 Pets ( Wii ) / MySims / MySims Kingdom ( Wii )

@ShaddBoi Me too! I just tried to create people in real life and I failed miserably! Every part of the face came out distorted. Sometimes it is the result of limited CAS options. Some people can make these sims look like the real person. Not me.

@Anthonydyer Haha yeah...some simmer creators have remarkable talent at recreating real people. I am just not that good I guess haha.
I had a hard enough time recreating some of my favorite sims cast from sims 3, but I ended up just reimagining some of them anyway, which made it much easier!
Trying to decide whether to make a Sim based more closely on the facial features that come up randomly (usually if it is a male sim that doesn't look like the others in my game, or if it is an ethnic looking Sim that comes up randomly), or based on what type of clothing I would like to have them wear (usually if it is a female sim).
I have been playing The Sims since 2001, when Livin Large came out. My avatar deliberately looks like Chris Roomies from TS1.
For me it's the proportions. Distance between the eyes, or distance between lips and nose.....Sometimes no matter how much I tweak, it just looks a little off.
Males in general. The preset eyes, lips, and noses are all just super hard to work with. The lips are either way too big or too thin, and I feel like all the eyes have monolids? I just keep using the same few hairstyles for all my male sims so it's hard to get them to look different from one another.
I never build sims from scratch, I find a base I like then I tweak the features to get them the way I want them to look. As for the hardest part with Creating a new sim, I always have issues with the clothing options, especially if I'm recreating a book character or a certain type of person, if that makes any sense.
Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults

Origin i.d.: erimurphey
they/he
simblr
Jaws would be a close second.
I have a bad habit of using the same old traits and try to pick different ones
Then it boils down to a mish mash design that's kinda decent

Houses appear to be more my thing haha
I've tried that but often I'm really not happy with the traits I get, I'm picky lol
