      They can be a bit boring at times but not ugly.

      Well..."Ugly" sounds quite intense.
      I personally think their appearance is more appealing with a heap of CC. :D

      No, I think Harley Quinn is a nice looking woman, even if she's crazy. :D

      Seriously though, it depends on the sim. Most of the EA-generated townies are nice, but the ones the game generates after a few weeks of game play can look hideous. Thank goodness for NRaaS and its genetics!

      Good job on your video ZeeGee! :mrgreen:

      I don't mind sliders all at zero for a Sim or a few Sims, but where the issue lies is when the illusion of diversity gets stifled by a bland gameplay mechanic which creates Sims that look the same in the face when newly generated as townies and/or NPC's. Mostly if not always using the same presets. For me that becomes a problem but instead of changing every single townie/NPC, I usually just edit the ones who get involved with my Sims since I'm not interested in adding any mod which will cause more work for the CPU, thus slowing down my game's performance. Especially as I notice how many townie's/NPC's can easily get generated too often. (Then again if that was originally a feature that may be why they axed it.) There's definitely a flaw in that system when Sims keep moving around from role to job to whatever frequently. I wish they had given the player a lot more freedom and options to control gameplay and its features with all the details.

      One of the Sims I edited from:
      Screenshot-8.jpg


      To:
      Screenshot-10.jpg

      =======

      CC may help the appearance of preset Sims but overall they all still look the same in the face on a foundational level. I see clones...clones everywhere.

      I'm not sure if I understand what "pudding" sims are supposed to look like. lUeinTc.jpg
      Introducing the very generic "Lisa Smith"...as generic a name as I can come up with off the top of my head. (all sliders set to zero...including body sliders)

      @Emily4331 @Karritz They are boring because there are so many of them! I actually made a bunch with no cc for a video and that 'same' look got old.

      @CAPTAIN_NXR7 Is she a pudding? Her chin looks too short to be a pudding but maybe it's just the angle or the expression. She's very pretty. The cc sure helps their looks, obviously my pudding sim is loaded with cc.

      @KevinL5275 Lol and thank you. :) Totally agree on NRaas genetics.

      @Deshong04 She's lovely. I agree that there are too many of them generated by the game. Clones is the perfect word! I'm actually writing a pudding story using the 'clone' theme.

      @Nikkei_Simmer She's cute! Some people have used the 'pudding' term for ALL sims 3 sims but the technical definition is the 'all sliders set to zero sims that populate your world with EA story progression.' Simmers that call all sims 3 sims puddings are prejudiced, imo. :lol:

      I usually play my game locked down with no story progression, no aging, and no townies allowed to move in. I played a trial legacy game on short lifespan and by the time there were grandkids the town was full of puddings except for an occasional townie who hadn't died off yet. I can see how, especially when the game first came out, simmers would be bored by all the puddings.

      I've grown rather fond of the puddings over the years. They're not always beautiful, but can be, not always ugly, but can also be that. They'll always hold a special place in my heart :D

      No, but they can have that same-ish look that can be boring. A little makeover can do a lot. :smile: Your pudding sims look great.

      I agree with @Emily4331 in that they are not ugly but are boring. When I see a zero slider position I can't help myself and have to change it! I don't change the default sims that appear in my town because they can't do any damage as they can't pollute the town's genetic pool. I do find myself getting annoyed when they approach my sims on public lots and I later find them in my sims' relationship panel but it's just a matter of a couple of clicks with MC and they are gone!

      Ah, I was under the impression that all sims in Sims 3 are puddings. Maybe I misunderstood. 😅 In that case, what is a pudding?

      Its mentioned in ZeeGee's video. A pudding sim is one with all their sliders set to 0, which is the default.

      Aha! Thank you. I didn't realise that a video was posted. The device i was on at the time did not show it as such. I just saw an image and thought I knew the answer. I was actually proud of myself for knowing the answer. How wrong I was. 😆


      Well in that case... my sims are far from puddings. I have a slider addiction.
      Do I find puddings ugly? No. I find them delicious.

      My sims tend to not stay puddings for very long unless deliberately left so.

      Take that evil/mean-spirited bag Mayumi for instance (the sim I started out with was pudding, but with manipulating sliders, I ended with that scary bag). owUJdKa.jpg

      Pudding reminds me of the average Joe. They're the plain Jane's and John's of the Sims world. Not everyone has distinct features. After all, there's only so many variations in facial features our genes allow before we get repeats. :wink:

      In a way, Pudding sims are kinda realistic. Plus, it allows my own Sims to stand out. It's like movies, TV shows, and other video games where background characters/npc are unremarkable in appearance compared to the main cast and important characters.

      I'd say they are "bland", because they need lots of cc and some tweaking...

      They remind me of the original Smurfs, with a song about how they "all look the same, all look the same" and that same, is ugh.

      @StephSteb I think the main reason they get so much hate is, not because they are ugly but, because they can soon overrun your town (and main household) if you play a save for a while without mods and if, as some players do (I am guilty of this in my early days of simming), you marry unedited service sims, game generated sims or IFs into your household over the generations. (Eeek! I hope that sentence makes sense. It's late and I am tired!)
