Hello,

I've had to reboot my PC after a killer virus, so all my previous Sims are lost, but while getting over it, I made my first male sim, who I imagined might be a Doctor or Professor of some kind, although I must confess, he's based on some people more than others, as a few people may notice...but aside to that, thoughts?

Edit: I can't sort his chin, does it look slightly strange to you or not? Help with this would be greatly appreciated please...thanks...Also I clicked 'love' by accident, how do I undo this? :blink:

The pictures in the red cardigan (only red for drafting reference) have his eyes a touch closer together...not sure which is better :)

Quite personally I can't see the word sexy describing this sim at all. He reminds me of the brother from Napoleon Dynamite. His face overall seems a little long.

Yeah, I wouldn't call him sexy. Maybe try a different approach?

LOL traelia hit the nail dead on! What's good is that I love that brother... He's hilarious.

I like the sim! He has personality and he's unique. I would say try to lower his cheekbones a little bit. They look a little wierd being that high up.

Ok, thanks kindly guys for the feedback, well the 'sexy' is just personal taste, but that's ok, I'll just remove the adjective since it seems to be common consensus. Lemme see what I can do with these suggestions and I'll update very soon :)

EDIT: I think I need to change his skintone to something unisex available, or else his daughters are gonna look super weird, is it possible to associate a 'female only' skintone with a different 'male only' skintone? Thanks.

Ok, so I made the changes you wanted, still hunting for a skintone which suits him, so there will be a further update at some stage...thoughts? Thanks :)

There seems to be some weird lighting on his face. is that a cc facemask? It looks like he put on too much shiny concealer...
He also looks a bit cross-eyed. I'd get the moving contacts on-site.

Thanks for the feedback, it is a custom full skintone, I wrongly assumed all of them made sims shiny, but I'll change that...Are the contacts on MTS? :)

Oh... Yeah it does say that. Sorry, I didn't notice it before.

I kinda hate his nose and his eyes..... his nose is too thin and down too far, and his eyes are too squinty.

I think that his nose looks long because it is the same width from top to bottom. If you decrease the width of the nasal bridge and/or indent it more and/or move the nasal bridge down, it might help. I agree with the comments above about the shiny skin. Do you think his eyes should be a tiny bit closer together? Overall, I like him. Good job!

He's looking really good! :) Maybe curve his brows a bit and what wicked poppies said would be good too.
