Kurasoberina's Primer skin is used by a lot of players

Neiuro's Mango Smoothie and Mango Yogurt skins are also popular.

@brntwaffles has some great skins, eyes, nose masks (and lighting mods)

I also like some of the skins from Noodlesims. I think they only play TS2 and TS4 now, but their TS3 stuff is still available on Dropbox

Need advice: Sugar Pill by Burntwaffles made my adult male sim look like a little girl in the face, it was jarring. Especially that nose, it's almost so pixie like that it looks like a child's nose instead of an adult's, and even infantalizes female Sim faces imo. But it also lets there be freckles and body hair, and I don't want a skin that gets rid of that.

There are so many skins it feels overwhelming and I can't tell the difference between them when it comes to the actual skin itself, just the facial details like eyes, noses, lips, and whether there are details like freckles and body hair and like, hairs in the eyebrows instead of a makeup look. Is there anything detailed that doesn't feminize the men, preserves body hair and freckles, and is realistic rather than smooth plastic perfection?

I have searched Youtube reviews and I can't even see the difference when they show me one vs. another when it comes to the actual skin. I just want realism, to stop having those awful playdough noses and terrible over-large expressionless doll eyes, but not to have every sim's face transformed into an idealized child-face and searching youtube is like choosing between 10 different shades of off-white paint that all look the same to me.

Radiant Eyes/Teeth - Been using these since like 2014. Super satisfied with them.

Also, just in general for finding good CC- Look at #thesims3 on tumblr. There's a TON of good stuff on there.

I have to say I swear by Kurasoberina’s Primer+ too that someone else mentioned.

I use Navetsea's Hairy4. It gives a real life look especially to the faces, but I also have all Kurasoberina's skins installed, love Freckled Fruit, and her dark skins are amazing. Default eyes are Escand, you'll find them on MTS, but I use non default for all my principal characters, there are so many beautiful colors to pick and choose from...
