Pre-Made Makeovers

I know for sure that there has been topics like this before, but I didn't want to go back and dig around for one (I did check the first ten pages of this discussion and didn't find anything recent), so I figured I'd start a new one 
Anyway, for the longest time, I didn't have base game pre-mades in my game since I deleted them all when I first got the game and then I just kept playing different variations of the same save for ages. Well, at the beginning of the new year, I finally started a brand new save and decided to keep all the pre-mades, and I've been having fun slowly giving them all makeovers. I like to try to keep them as similar to their original looks as possible while still giving them a fresh look. Here are my favorites so far, and I'd love to see yours (they don't have to be just base game sims either!

And I know she's not a base game sim, but I recently got the ROM pack too and L. Faba desperately needed a makeover too.
A YA version of Jeb Harris, in an older save
Normally, I don't touch the premades, but the vampires have always had a special place in my heart. Specifically Vlad and Lilith, Caleb is...well he's Caleb.
Here's Vlad's newest outfit. He's had to make some aesthetic decisions to fit in with the latest century....some of the vampires think he's gone too far but he knows they're just jealous of his style.
@afai1261 Jeb is such a cutie under that bag! Love him and I love seeing people actually do something with him in their saves

A few more
Liberty Lee (I wanted to keep her purple and yellow color scheme but make it less...awful lol)
Bella Goth
Mortimer Goth (honestly I don't usually do much with male sims haha)
I only just realized that Yasemin Tinker exists yesterday and I'm kind of obsessed TBH
Also I'm really digging Morgyn Ember and this whole gender fluid thing they have going.
BFF's
Bjergesen sisters
Goth's
Tinker's
L. Faba
Eliza and Iggy Pancakes
Do you have it up on the gallery somewhere shared? I'd totally download her!
@Mstybl95 Those are some wonderful Sims! I especially like what you have done with L. She looks like she could be in a Disney animated movie!

@Mstybl95 Your cartoon style is a lot of fun!
@greydonn What a great look for Vlad
I generally do not download Sims which use a lot of CC, but I do use CC myself and in this instance I'd totally be down for it. I'd like a good freckle overlay anyway. I haven't found one I liked all that much in-game, but your Yasemin looks fantastic. I could tell it wasn't a lot of changes, but sometimes less is more.

And here's the skin overlay: (it's actually just a face overlay) https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-skintones/title/overlay-face-skin-collection/id/1451689/
And then I use these lashes: http://kijiko-catfood.com/3d-lashes/
She's up in the gallery with her family now, if you click on show CC. My gallery ID is permanentrose537. I think there's still a bit of CC on them that I forgot to remove, like tattoos for Tina and shoes for Olive haha, but nothing crazy.
I'm flattered you like my makeover, thanks!
Enjoy two more make overs too. Mia Hayes and Della Ostrow, the cute couple on the TS4 cover
It was interesting because the CC is mostly from creators whom I already use a lot of stuff by (2 of 3 of them) Somehow I'd never seen the freckle overlay though. The only creator I haven't used anything from already was Kijiko, probably because I eschew TSR.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all that with me!
Edit to add: So I found Kijiko's web page where you can get the CC without going through TSR. And I figured out why I haven't used anything by her. It's a lot of not really Maxis match CC, I mostly only use Maxis-match. Her hairs, in particular, though absolutely gorgeous, would look out of place in the game (to me). I'm definitely getting those lashes though, they are gorgeous and will work even with an all maxis-match game like mine.

Yah, you sent me down the rabbit hole. Because after I downloaded that CC, I searched for Kijiko's stuff off of TSR, found her website (or his website...I dunno)...and now I'm going through looking at all of it. I'm getting some nice makeup out of it too. hahaha
Gotta love the CC rabbit hole.

@permanentrose
They're really beautiful. It's uncanny... you've made them look more human somehow, especially Mia.
I've only made over Yuki and Luna since they are married into my legacy
L.Faba and Simeon who I changed to female and renamed Simone

For CAS, you can do it the same way you get pictures from in LIVE mode. You just press C to take a screenshot in CAS.
For the gallery, you can extract them from game files with Sims 4 Tray Importer and also the ones that are in-game with S4S. There are other methods as well.
