In CAS, do you randomize to get the look you want?

Do you roll the dice until you find something close to what you're looking for? Or if not, what is your method of creating your Sims? There's no "wrong" way, I'm just curious as to how others do it.
I literally click on the first one that pops up because I know I'll be changing everything about them, from head to toe. But I also realize that might not be practical for someone who may not have much experience in CAS--for them it might be easier to find something close and then tweak it to their liking (I've done that too)

That’s a good method. Sometimes I grab two sims at random from the Gallery, age them up to adults, and create a young adult child by combining their genetics. Then I go to work on the resulting sim.
Back when I didn't know one could set MCCC to make townies be drawn from my tray--I did it constantly.
and then exclude looks from randomizer and roll for the hair and clothing and that stuff couple times in case it would give me easier starting point
then i just keep dragging and changing everything basically so it looks like nothing i started with
or i try to do the genetics mixing thing with sims i like from gallery or library or premades or whatever and have that as starting point
also i have unhealthy addiction to that making whole head smaller tool that instantly makes sims look nicer to me but then they look off next to premades cause its like barbie vs bratz difference

I never randomise clothing or body shape, and rarely use it for hair either. I generally have an idea of where I want to go with that.
If there wasn't a character that was based off an existing one, 9 times out of 10, I exaggerated stuff I hate about some decorations in humans (such as fashion) to make the most grotesque person imaginable. I spam tattoos, piercings, high heels, and whatever other stuff I don't like onto a Sim and then give them entirely negative traits. I did this for...like two or three Sims I believe? idk why I like fine-tuning Sims to be composed of only everything I hate, I like trolling myself

But yeah, more on topic, I never use randomize because I either am trying to keep sim close to what they are or change them into something specific.
Haha same. I sometimes give my sim a slightly bigger head, when they are supposed to be of shorter proportions. But in general my sims' heads are tend to be small, yes.
Sometimes I'll take my starting point from a preset head because those tend to have unique appearances, then I'll change a few of the features and use the push/pull to reshape it to what I want.
I always use the closeup face detail adjustments too to fine tune the features.
