I haven't really created any share-worthy sims in a while, and I haven't created a decent male in twice as long. So I'm working on this guy right now, but something feels a bit... off to me. :? Do you have any suggestions/comments/etc?
I've spent a couple minutes looking at him just so I could come up with some constructive criticism but I honestly can't think of any. I love what you've done with him. Very unique with a lot of personality to his features. I'd put him in my sim world in a heartbeat. My guys get very repetitive. I don't have a lot of skill in CAS and I tend to continually do the "pretty" male faces with perfect features. Looking at yours, I can see myself lowering the mouth just a tad on my way to making him just like my boring males, but if I did that, somebody should smack my CAS trigger finger lol. I like your sim very much :-)

Haha I know what you mean about making sims all the same. xD My first instinct is to go with a guy that looks like this:
But I'm trying to get away from that. :XD: I'm glad you like him, though! I guess because he isn't what I normally do, that's why he seems off to me, but not necessarily in a bad way. Just... different. :XD:
I think he looks great but I'm not certain that is the right hairstyle for him, personally I would have thought something with a bit less "body"
Yeah, I'm not sure about the hair, either. It was the only one that was easiest to see his face with. However, I've just gone through all my male hairs, and none of them look right with his face. This one's the most decent-looking one; they all make him look weird. :?

^Agree with the body about a bit. Have you done his clothes yet? Sometimes I usually don't think a sim feels right without their clothes. xD
Haha I was actually working on that right now! ^_^ Although I have very few clothing for males, so he'll probably end up looking the same as all my other guys, at least in that department. This is what I have for his everyday wear:
@ilikeskittles - Hah, thanks. :XD: Most of the time my male sims turn out uuuugly. Occasionally I can make a decent one, but not lately. Brain block, I think.
@venusflytrap - Thanks! Love your avi, btw! Almost didn't recognize you, since it's changed since I last saw your post. :XD:
*heart pounds* I...like him a lot!! I couldn't stop myself from staring at him and focusing on his eyes! *lol* He has a nice kind of mysterious yet handsome stare. I would looove to see some more stylish CC clothes on him, maybe experiment on that? You don't need to follow my comment, but just seeing him i could think of all these nice outfits he could wear to match his gorgeous face and hair..x) I'm just really into details and matching (~sorry) He has a model-like face and body structure, but with the current outfits...it doesn't do it for him. That's just me!

Haha thanks! ^_^' Do you have any links to suggested clothing? 'Cause I have a very limited amount of male CC, and most of it is for bad boys. :XD: I'm very attracted to the bad boys... :oops: :XD:

I know what you mean haha! I like bad boys too :P Yes I have some links i have that I looked up quickly.
Oh, so, like... sweaters and things? :XD: Is it just the everyday wear you think I should adjust, or all of it? XD (I suck at dressing guys, in case you couldn't tell. )
Hmmm...yeah kinda. It's just an idea! Sweaters or tops that are kicked up a notch and little more stylish than normal. If you want simular pants, and shoes like in the picture, just browse through that website (myos I think?). (Lol don't worry! It's not the easiest thing to find good male clothes...I actually looked through soo many websites and I don't like 99% of the guywear clothes and only 1% that I like and would make my sims wear XD I'm extremely picky, that's also a problem I have..just ignore it =P) For the outfits, I don't really mind...i just think the causual outfit is the most important because that's what they wear during most of the day.

Yeah, I downloaded quite a few tops from Myos' website, they were a lot more preppy than anything I have in game (if I want preppy I usually rely on EA's clothing *shudders*). :XD: All right, well, I'll install this stuff in my game and then boot it up and see what we can do with him. Might take like 15/20, though, my computer's got so much cc on it. xD

^This is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe try a shorter hairstyle?
