I have already done quite a few makeovers on premade sims for my own amusement .... but I am not sure that you will allow them to be used in this

are cc skins and cc eye contacts included in the allowed list
because i use a cc eye that changes the default eye to make it look a little more realistic
and on normal skinned sims (None coloured) I have a skin that makes game skin look better

Spoiler:
default game eye

Image

my game default eye

Image

game default skin

Image

my skin

Image
as you can see - it makes the face features look different and better without actually changing them.
let me know if I can continue to use these on my sims for this
if not - I will have to take them out of my game :roll:

I don't see any reason why not! I know a number of people (myself included) used default replacements all through BNTM, so I think they can be allowed here. This does make me think I should add a "before" picture to the requirements though, because even the same premade could look quite different across different people's games depending on graphics and replacements and such. :)

Ah, good to see this has returned. When I get home on Sunday I'll install Sims 3 on this brand new gaming laptop and start "ugly searching".

Default replacements are something I don't have, at least in Sims 3. And I just started figuring out Sims 4 so I don't think I'll use Sims 4. I haven't seen any uglies in Sims 4 yet.

Yay! Thanks for opening this!

A few questions, apologies if they're already out there:

> Can we use poses for the pictures?
> Can it display more than one outfit?

Thank you :thup:

Yes I think a before and after picture of the premade is a good idea
I was planning to do that anyway 8-)

Poses, absolutely! And you raise a good point about outfits, but I'm going to say (at least for the first round) that it's fine to change them up between shots. With the provision that we might alter that rule later if it seems necessary. :)

Thanks for starting this back up. I will have to look for an ugly in Sims 4. I know there are one or two. :)

I just realized I should probably ask about this before I start my after shots, would it be alright if I moved the madeover sim to a different world/hood for backdrop and such? This wouldn't really do anything to the sim besides physically move them elsewhere. No physical changes to the sim or anything. They were madeover in their origin world but I would be plunking down a copy for a photo shoot.

^ Go for it! I think this classifies under the "don't be afraid to get creative" part. :)

EDIT: Oh my gosh guys, so many beautiful entries! :') This makes me so excited, keep 'em coming! :D

I didn't go home last weekend so I don't have Sims 3 on here and with Sims 4 I'm having trouble finding the "ugly" to makeover. I just don't quite get Sims 4 yet, it uses Sims 3 interactions and the Sims 2 loading screens, kinda annoying.

I'm going to try to come up with an entry for this tonight - I haven't had the opportunity to boot up my game in a while, so hopefully everything still works! :spin:

What's the actual time for the round closing!? I have only just seen this and definitely want in, but I'm on UK time and don't want to miss the deadline! I don't start work for another couple hours yet so I'll have a poke around now, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

EDIT: Can we change the ages of sims - such as teens & elders to YAs?
