I was on Twitter recently—my first mistake—and I noticed a lot of people claiming that Sims 3 sims are ugly unless you have cc (and some say ugly no matter what).
While I love cc, I recently made a sim without it (aside from her freckles) and I think she's still quite pretty!
Anyway, I'm curious what pretty sims some of you have made without cc that can break the 'ugly sims' stereotype?
(BTW, it wasn't until making this sim that I realized just how awesome those World Adventures eyeliners are. I'd always avoided them, but given a less bold color and lowering the opacity allows for some really pretty makeup!)

Oh no, I hate it when that happens. I've actually started copying and pasting long posts into a Word document (or in my memos if I'm on my phone) real quick before hitting send and that's saved me a few times. I'm sure your sims look lovely though lol

For the longest time I played Sims without any custom content.
Oh, you can make attractive Sims without custom content in my opinion ...

And @ARRensch ... There ain't nothing wrong with green wallpaper ...
Especially when it matches the key lime pie ...
Happy Simming!

I used a different eye shape than the one that I usually use. Everything is EA.

If you say so, although my eyes tell me differently.

Haha, yeah i have to agree, the last three sims are 100% wearing cc skin. The area around the eyes gives it away because it doesnt look like that in maxis skin no matter the eye shape. That is actually the telling sign i use to decide if a sim has a cc skin or not, none of them look the same way maxis skin does around sims eyes.

You can't upload them to the EA Exchange with CC. Feel free to download them and check them out.

Edit to add: I had to hunt high and low for a more recent pic of him but finally found one!

This is my earliest version I could find of Willow. A generic female sim I tend to make in any video game that has character creation. I always go for maroon hair, red lips, and grey eyes.

I much prefer using default skin & eyes but I've never had an issue with vanilla sims. There are so many talented people that can work wonders without any CC or sliders.

I do use default eyes though, so he's 99.9% CC free, I guess
Here he is with CC, in case you're curious.
I just wanted to post his face again because he's a hottie.
People are going to be saying that about TS3 sims until Andromeda collides with the Milky Way and destroys us all. As long as we like our simmies, I can't say I caribou what Twitter has to say about most things.
Good point lol
I think I'm inclined to believe you. I messed with this sim's eyes for a bit and got a fairly similar shape.
(Looking at this sim, I actually wonder if I might have a default eye replacement??? But I legitimately don't remember ever downloading one. Oh well, not that it's a big difference; I think there's just an extra highlight dot. I'll call it close enough to cc free. )

Those last 3 sims are definitely wearing CC skin. Not in a Buffalo Bill way...I hope. But they are, regardless, wearing CC skin. Just compare the level of detail between yours and the sims in the thread using EA skin. You can see it especially in the shading.
Well, gang, on to the next mystery! Zoinks, Scoob! And all that.
Oh, she's really lovely!
I've forgotten what my sims look like without CC. I much prefer it as I find EA's skin very bland, but there are some really great examples of sims in here with no CC.
Also, I don't care either what anyone says about TS3 sims. I love mine ( and lots of other peoples ) and that is all I care about.

Its funny, I used to be against using cc for so many years of my life. I was a strict game content simmer only till I was wanting to make my sim look as close as possibly to me, so that's when I finally caved and tried out cc. Now, I love it just as much as I love the non-cc.

Again, I say, check the files in the exchange that I've posted up.
Thank you @InfraGreen for actually taking a look at the Sims3packs that I uploaded to the Exchange.
I see I shall have to prove myself with pictures of my step by step process.
Tutorial incoming. (note: I'm not really annoyed, I was meaning to do a tutorial on creating non-CC sims anyway...and figure, now's as good a time as any..." ~evil grin~

Anyways vanilla sims can look good because a sim can live and die by its face sculpt alone. I also never really got into the custom slider lifestyle so that's easy enough to say. Took some that I made with CC originally, took out my defaults, and liked most of the results.
Unfortunately the lips do not look right on darker skintones without a skin or an overlay fix. It looks like a bad lipstick job. Unless I'm taking crazy pills? Look closely I guess.
EDIT: to end the skin discourse, here are @Nikkei_Simmer's three sims blasted of all CC on my end, under the cut for brevity's sake...
There's a skin. I said "check your own mods folder and installed content" for a reason, not for the sake of others (because it's not in the Sims3Pack so who cares) but because everyone deserves to know what content is in their game.
