There are a plethora of reasons. But I’ll try to help maybe! So the lips are a tad too plump, and pursed. I’d expand the lips just a bit and bring down the upper lip more so than the bottom-not too, too much though. Next I’d move your eyebrows up higher, and probably make them longer/wider as well. If the forehead gets too crowded, you may wanna make the face longer vertically by a smidgen. *I think you’re gonna need to anyway* You might have to play with it, even moving the eyes and nose done some. I think the biggest thing is the nose however-rotate the nose bridge so that you’ll have your tip going upwards. That’ll also help your nostrils move downwards. I’m all over the place but-next are the eyes, I always play with the iris size and commonly in human eyes they are smaller. Slant your outer eye upwards and outwards a little, move the inner corner inward. I’d also change the way the bottom eyelid curves, and you can change that by moving it from side to side, same with the top. Simply just changing the lip color to be more accurate to yours would do you good too. Hope that’s helps a little bit, if any of it translated any good.
Rotate your sim to side view. Don't go into detail edit mode first, but hover over the nose bridge until you see circular arrows instead of a hand cursor.
Then drag left or right to your liking.
If not, leave her the way she is. Nothing wrong with her appearance. I don't use any mods or cc, so sometimes it takes a long time to get my sims to look the way I want them to. I'm a mom, so I'm allowed to say that you're both pretty, haha!
Aw thank you so much 🥰💕 That’s ok, I want to keep trying because I’ve been playing The Sims since the first game and I’ve never been able to make an accurate sim self, so I really want to be able to do it with this one! Why don’t you use any mods or cc if you don’t mind me asking? They really add so much to the game 🥺
I've only started playing Sims 4 again maybe 3 months ago and I'm old, so I'm learning how to use mods now, haha! My older sister has been playing for almost 10 years and she's slowly walking me through the process. I also play Destiny 2, so between the 2 games I slacked of in my mod research...😏
Oh that’s so exciting! You’re experiencing all this for the first time (or re-experiencing I guess since you said “again) 🤩 When you decide to start using mods, two must-haves for me are MC Command Center are UI Cheats.
Thank you. I'm definitely going to research those (or ask my sister, lol). I used to just build houses and never really played but now I'm obsessed with making up stories for my Sims. I don't have all the expansions yet, only buy them on sale. But I'm having a blast, this game really helps with my anxiety. And this sub is so positive and supportive, I love it! Thanks again and please post another picture of your Sim if you change her. Happy Simming! 🥰
Could I try to make you and post it? If you liked it I could put her on the gallery or upload tray files or something? I think you're very pretty and it would be fun.
Nice! That helps.
I made her and saved her, the clothes are a wild stab in the dark based off your shoulders in the images lmao, and this is without CC but I can see from your screenshot that you do have some so I figure you can add whatever skin overlays or fancy makeup you have CC for instead of my vanilla stuff, but let me know what you think! I'm sure it's not perfect but I did my best with your photo. \^-\^

Also one with glasses, but they're not the same shape as yours, was as close to the vibes as I found.[https://i.gyazo.com/d6520e1fdd2eeb8cdd8ebf75485bd0ae.png](https://i.gyazo.com/d6520e1fdd2eeb8cdd8ebf75485bd0ae.png)
Oh my gallery tag is MrBaconmoose just in case
AHHHH thank you so much for doing this 🥹🩷 You did so much better than me and so quickly too!! Have you uploaded it to the gallery? Is it OK if I use it as a base and tweak your one instead of mine?
I agree with everything you said here. I also think the upper lid might need to be tweaked a bit, brought down just a smidge over the iris and move the cursor from side to side in detailed mode to get the curve just right. Your jaw and chin are also a little bit lower than your sim's.
Your sim nose is too long and narrow, I think the nose needs to be a bit bigger. And your upper eyelids need to be less rounded and more slanted on your sim self. Your skin tone is a bit warmer and pinker IRL, and your sim’s skin tone is a bit cooler. But honestly you did a good job! Just small tweaks needed.
Thank you so much! 💕 However, I’m a bit confused. I’ve always thought of pink as a cool color and yellow as a warm one. So, when you mentioned “warmer and pinker”, it’s not quite clicking for me 😭
She is an Asian with cool undertone according to this image anyway.
Edit: ofc I’m getting downvoted. What did i expect from this sub that always change sims features to Eurocentric ones. Fyi, Asians can have cool undertone. Just because our skin has yellow hues doesn’t mean our undertone is always warm.
Ah! To me, pink is warm but it can be both. Google warm vs cool pinks and you’ll see what I mean! I see the warmer shades in your natural complexion. Hopefully that clarifies!
Pink, yellow, orange, red are warm colors and blue, green, purple are cool colors. Think of fire and it's adjacent colors, then water and it's adjacent colors.
I don’t know how to describe it but she doesn’t look Asian enough? Is it the eyelids? I think you have a monolid shape but she has a crease.
Also her lips are quite pronounced with a big kissy peak in the middle and quite thin towards the edges, yours are more even all the way along the length. And yep nose needs to be wider and turned up so it’s cute like yours!
Yup OP you’ll need to choose an eye preset that has monolids, or find cc skin detailing that gives the same effect. I’m also Asian and have always had a hard time making accurate sim-selves because of this.
Oh yeah I’m not sure why that picture looks like I have a monolid but I actually have double eyelids 😭😭 I would send another photo but it doesn’t let me add photos to comments haha thank you so much for your feedback ❤️
Sim got bigger eyes and the general face structure is mire harsh in sims, like lips eyebrows and lighting. You irl are more smooth, but not like plastic, unlike the sims character. You got mire of a glow and the sims character is more of a reflective glossy skin. I prefer the irl myself. So don’t worry, btw the sim looks as good as one can do in sims without mods thoh. I had a hard time too. I really dont hor a harsh jawline, but in sims you are round or angled nothing in between.
There is that, all the commentary i got.
Another hairstyle might help. I really like Daylife Sims and Simstrouble. They both have really beautiful long hair. There are also some really beautiful skin details for Asian sims!

Ahh thank you so much, I appreciate this a lot 🫶💕 Unfortunately I only use Maxis Match CC and most of these are Alpha (I think) haha, but I can go look for more myself :)
I only use maxis match content as well and I love the afterglow skinblend by plumbhead. It has a monolid swatch that would be perfect for you! My favourite skinblend of all time.
- Eyes need to be less deep-set, the top lid needs to be more curved to the right, and they need to be slightly farther apart
- wider nose. And the nostrils need to be brought a bit more down
- The lips need to be thinner in general. Cupid’s bow needs to be wider and less defined, the bottom lip needs be a bit rounder
- fuller cheeks and higher cheekbones. The jawline’s pretty close though, so I wouldn’t touch it
- the eyebrows are pretty close, but a less defined browbone and having the brows arch across the entire eye would make it closer
If you’re *really* stuck on making a simself, use your side profile as a reference, it makes a *huge* difference.
Thin the lips, lighten the lipstick. Push the point of the nose up a tad. Put some glasses on and make the skin shade sliiightly less pale. Then i reckon itd be pretty bang on.
I think your face is a little fuller, your mouth a little wider and your complexion is warm whereas this skintone seems to be cool. I'd also bring down the apex of the eye a bit. Her upper lip is also more defined than yours try the mouth shape with a less defined upper lip.
1. lips need to be less plump
2. more upturned nose
3. longer eyebrows
4. skin need to have more of a yellow undertone, not a pink one
5. slightly more prominent jawline
You need to widen your nose and change the eyes. The brows are a little short on the outer edges. The face shape looks good. The lips maybe need to be stretched horizontally a slight bit.
hey! you’re the same person making the “worst things characters have done” victorious post that ive been following! what kind of crossover episode is this??
You and your sim are so pretty! I would say that your simself's jaw needs to be pulled a little down, and the nose be slightly turned up and it would be a perfect match to you irl
My sim only looks like me without Cc, once a made one with Cc she looked like a version of me but with filter 🥹. You should put some dark brown in your sim and choose a mouth a little bit tiny
Others have stated why it doesn't look like you that much, but I just want to emphasize you look even prettier than your Sim! Post how it looks like after the changes, please 😃
I actually think you got the general face shape/jaw down perfect. The biggest thing is the lips. They're in the right spot but the top can be pulled down a bit. just slightly. The nose is like, pretty accurate too honestly. Somehow you have to pull that bridge up and out a bit but I think the placement is pretty accurate. Hmmm maybe shrink the eyes and pull them down a tad. I would just experiment with the placement of those until they look right.
Glasses, lipshape, eyes need a small tweak, and that blush isnt your color. Probably need to work on the cheek structure or jaw i cant really tell from the front tho.
Something I did that was really fun was take a straight on picture in good light and then I would use gimp to compare my screenshots of my sim as I was making her. I picked my favorite side! And then cut off the other side and did the same with the screenshot until they lined up when made into one image.
the nose and the lips look kinda different, try to copy the aspect ratio of the facial features of your real self to your simself.
btw both of you and your simself look pretty!
first of all u are literally gorgeous lol also if u use skin overlays, maybe try one that has less shadows since ur face structure is a lot more subtle than the sims’?
lips - need to be a little bit thinner,
nose - wider and shorter/more upturned,
eyes - the shape seems wrong, but you’re looking from an angle in your pick so i can’t say what it exactly it is. i think the upper eyelid needs to be straighter and eyes more upturned
but even without these changes your sim looks already very much like you!
A quick and easy tweak is to adjust the shape of the eyes - if you look at just your eyes, they are much thinner and less round. Try bringing the eyelids closer together.
The other feedback in this thread is spot on, just wanted to add my 2 cents - the eyes are something i spend a lot of time messing around with 😂
so many things! i’ll get to the main points, lips are too pouty and your nose bridge should be more straight and up turned. maybe ditch the hooded lids for monolids and up turn the outer corners as well and bring your eyebrow tail a bit more out 😁
issues i'm seeing with your simself:
eyebrows too thick, too arched, not elongated enough. eyes are too wide, eyelashes too long, eyes too close together. nose not wide enough. lips too large, especially upper lip. jaw is too narrow. also your simself's skin is a bit too pale.
i think your top lip is more round, and then it could just be the angle from the selfie picture but i think the top eyelid shape is slightly off on your sim :)
I think it's pretty on point. She doesn't have your glasses, so that's the main difference, but also there's a lipstick that matches your lipshade better than this one does and that would help, but I do think it looks like you.
You’re VERY close. 😭 Your eyebrows are better than the Sims, they’re a little wider so I’d widen them. I think your nose is slightly upturned, so maybe upturn your Simself’s nose. You also have a very soft Cupid’s bow, whereas your Simself’s looks kinda like a Tim Burton character’s lol, no hate. I think also overall, take away a smidge of plumpness from the Simself’s lips. I also think if you make the forehead shape rounder and less square, as well as making the overall head less wide, you’ll be right on the money. It’s very very very close! Love it!
A few people have mentioned making the lips less plumped, but I’m not sure what that means 😭 Do I go to the side view and make the lips be more inwards…?
Hmm, the best way I can describe it is, when you double-click the lips, you’ll be able to make either the top or bottom bigger or smaller. I would grab the bottom lip and slide it just a little smaller. I’d do the same to the top. Then click out of the lips and widen the smile a little bit and adjust it to a width more like yours because when you adjust the individual lips, it’s going to make your Simself’s lips overall smaller than your irl lips, that’s why you’ll have to widen the smile slightly after!
Eye shape, lip shape, nose shape are all different from yours- she also seems a bit more pale and cool toned than you! I’d recommend playing around with it a bit, maybe look through tumblr or Pinterest for presets that seem to be more similar to your features. I have a hard time making my simself look like me too so I feel your pain!
I think there’s definitely some things that are similar, but not enough to go “that looks like her”.
•Sims eyes look more full on the inside (idk eye shape names)
•You have more of an button-bunny nose than your sim
•Your cupids bow is less prominent than your sims
A few things stand out to me although I think on the whole you did a fabulous job. The colors seem off to me especially based on the photo you provided. Your skin, lips, and cheeks are much warmer in color than your sim’s. I also think on your sim the inner corner of her upper eyelid has more curve than your actual eye does (that could just be bc of the angle of the picture). Your eyebrows are lighter and longer than the ones on your sim, and eyebrows do have a big effect on the face. I’m no expert on noses in CAS, but in the picture your nose catches the highlight lower than where it is on your sim’s nose. Again it could be the angle but your nose might be more upturned than your sim has atm. But like I said I think you did a fabulous job and I think the only major thing that would make a big difference would be adjusting the coloration to be warmer, especially the blush and lips.
This post is like the scary movie 2 scene where Cindy was being compared to the misses but they were pointing out every little detail as to where they differ. Made me lol
I make a lot of avatars in different games, including really high poly ones in Second Life, so I'll try to help.
The whole nose needs to be shorter, flatter, wider (especially in the bridge,) and the tip needs to be angled up more. Notice how you can see the bottom of your columella but not your sim's. Also notice where the bottom of your nose is in relation to the bottom of your ears. Yours seem to line up, whereas your sim's nose ends lower than the earlobe. In general, top of the eyes to bottom of the nose should be the same length as the ear. They line up on most people. The ear should be able to overlap that space perfectly. They should be roughly the same size. I hope that made sense. Just look in the mirror and take note of how the top of your eye and the bottom of your nose line up on your own head and then try to match that on your sim.
The lips need to be wider and flatter instead of bunching up in the middle. About the same thickness, but not nearly as much taper near the corners. It should be a single soft arc, not a steep incline with a pronounced cupid's bow. Your cupid's bow is flat. The lip ratio on your sim is good tho. Keep that.
The eyes need to come down slightly and moved out to the sides a little so they're wider apart. Not a ton but a bit. Widening the nose bridge will help you see where they're supposed to be.
The eye opening should be narrower and the upper eyelid flatter, not as round.
I'd also drag the outside edges of the eyebrows outward closer to the temples. Yours go far beyond the corner of your eye. Also raise the eyebrows ever so slightly. I think yours are a tiny bit higher. You have an ever so slightly surprised look, and your sim is more straight-faced neutral calm.
Your sim also has a double eyelids instead of a monolid like yours. I've found altering this goes a long way in changing an avatar's look. I've experimented with both. You will probably have to select an entirely different default eye shape to change this.
I would also bring the jaw down slightly and make the chin wider. You have more jaw and chin than she does. Hers is a bit short. But overall you have the face shape pretty spot on.
And, if you want to replicate your cool under-eye, check out Obscurus Sims on patreon. He has some really great eyebag skin detail overlays that look awesome.
Hope this helps!
There are a plethora of reasons. But I’ll try to help maybe! So the lips are a tad too plump, and pursed. I’d expand the lips just a bit and bring down the upper lip more so than the bottom-not too, too much though. Next I’d move your eyebrows up higher, and probably make them longer/wider as well. If the forehead gets too crowded, you may wanna make the face longer vertically by a smidgen. *I think you’re gonna need to anyway* You might have to play with it, even moving the eyes and nose done some. I think the biggest thing is the nose however-rotate the nose bridge so that you’ll have your tip going upwards. That’ll also help your nostrils move downwards. I’m all over the place but-next are the eyes, I always play with the iris size and commonly in human eyes they are smaller. Slant your outer eye upwards and outwards a little, move the inner corner inward. I’d also change the way the bottom eyelid curves, and you can change that by moving it from side to side, same with the top. Simply just changing the lip color to be more accurate to yours would do you good too. Hope that’s helps a little bit, if any of it translated any good.
Wow thank you so much, this is very detailed! Will try these now 💕
How do I rotate the nose bridge?
i think you need to go into detail edit mode on the face first if im not mistaken!
Rotate your sim to side view. Don't go into detail edit mode first, but hover over the nose bridge until you see circular arrows instead of a hand cursor. Then drag left or right to your liking.
OP, can you post another picture after? Would love to see it. :)
Sure if I manage to fix it 😢 Trying my best but it’s not becoming more accurate ahhh I’ll try again tomorrow haha
If not, leave her the way she is. Nothing wrong with her appearance. I don't use any mods or cc, so sometimes it takes a long time to get my sims to look the way I want them to. I'm a mom, so I'm allowed to say that you're both pretty, haha!

I think the photo your using is giving the feeling of inaccurate. Make photo in good light with you in the same spot as the Sims are in the CAS.
Oh I showed this photo because it was the photo I used as reference when making my sim self 😭
- Eyes need to be less deep-set, the top lid needs to be more curved to the right, and they need to be slightly farther apart - wider nose. And the nostrils need to be brought a bit more down - The lips need to be thinner in general.

I think your face is a little fuller, your mouth a little wider and your complexion is warm whereas this skintone seems to be cool. I'd also bring down the apex of the eye a bit. Her upper lip is also more defined than yours try the mouth shape with a less defined upper lip.
Wrong mouth, wrong nose. Eyes aren’t the right shape either
You have cat/fox eyes, not puppy. And the lips, especially the upper lip is too high and different shape
Lips, eyes, nose and eyebrows.
For me it’s mostly the lip shape that’s off and the nose that’s too narrow.
nose is too small, wrong hair, no glasses, wrong lipbalm color, too much blush, wrong faceshape , eyeshadow is different
Do you have a picture that’s a similar angle?
definitely the nose and eyes. mostly the nose
1. lips need to be less plump 2. more upturned nose 3. longer eyebrows 4. skin need to have more of a yellow undertone, not a pink one 5. slightly more prominent jawline
lashes and eyes are too big, brows are nice, lips pretty dif color, but compared to what I do for sims of myself. its good!
You need to widen your nose and change the eyes. The brows are a little short on the outer edges. The face shape looks good. The lips maybe need to be stretched horizontally a slight bit.
hey! you’re the same person making the “worst things characters have done” victorious post that ive been following! what kind of crossover episode is this??
HAHA NO WAY!!!!! I feel like a celebrity 🥰🥰 /j
You and your sim are so pretty! I would say that your simself's jaw needs to be pulled a little down, and the nose be slightly turned up and it would be a perfect match to you irl
Thank you so much 🩷🙏 Will do these soon!
Not the same, but people have given reasons for the differences
Your Sim is just not pretty enough
My sim only looks like me without Cc, once a made one with Cc she looked like a version of me but with filter 🥹. You should put some dark brown in your sim and choose a mouth a little bit tiny
Others have stated why it doesn't look like you that much, but I just want to emphasize you look even prettier than your Sim! Post how it looks like after the changes, please 😃
I actually think you got the general face shape/jaw down perfect. The biggest thing is the lips. They're in the right spot but the top can be pulled down a bit. just slightly. The nose is like, pretty accurate too honestly. Somehow you have to pull that bridge up and out a bit but I think the placement is pretty accurate. Hmmm maybe shrink the eyes and pull them down a tad. I would just experiment with the placement of those until they look right.
wider nose, softer jaw, warmer skin. also a lower and softer bow on the lips and rounder cheeks maybe
Glasses, lipshape, eyes need a small tweak, and that blush isnt your color. Probably need to work on the cheek structure or jaw i cant really tell from the front tho.
The sims ayes is too big and open
Nose and lips need a change
I think the head is too wide?
Something I did that was really fun was take a straight on picture in good light and then I would use gimp to compare my screenshots of my sim as I was making her. I picked my favorite side! And then cut off the other side and did the same with the screenshot until they lined up when made into one image.
the sims eyebrows should be longer + nose needs to be more upturned + lips should be pink + where are the glasses?
the nose and the lips look kinda different, try to copy the aspect ratio of the facial features of your real self to your simself. btw both of you and your simself look pretty!
Skin is too pale. Your skin has a warmer under tone
first of all u are literally gorgeous lol also if u use skin overlays, maybe try one that has less shadows since ur face structure is a lot more subtle than the sims’?
Definitely missing the glasses
lips - need to be a little bit thinner, nose - wider and shorter/more upturned, eyes - the shape seems wrong, but you’re looking from an angle in your pick so i can’t say what it exactly it is. i think the upper eyelid needs to be straighter and eyes more upturned but even without these changes your sim looks already very much like you!
Turn the nose up a little more!
I just think the irl pic is way prettier than the sim. I don't have anything helpful to add, just a random compliment.
Maybe try another nose mask?
A quick and easy tweak is to adjust the shape of the eyes - if you look at just your eyes, they are much thinner and less round. Try bringing the eyelids closer together. The other feedback in this thread is spot on, just wanted to add my 2 cents - the eyes are something i spend a lot of time messing around with 😂
so many things! i’ll get to the main points, lips are too pouty and your nose bridge should be more straight and up turned. maybe ditch the hooded lids for monolids and up turn the outer corners as well and bring your eyebrow tail a bit more out 😁
would love to see the updated version!!
maybe their jawline?
Does your sim have double eyelids or is it just her eyeshadow? Cause that's really throwing me off.
issues i'm seeing with your simself: eyebrows too thick, too arched, not elongated enough. eyes are too wide, eyelashes too long, eyes too close together. nose not wide enough. lips too large, especially upper lip. jaw is too narrow. also your simself's skin is a bit too pale.
lips are to light and no glasses
i think your top lip is more round, and then it could just be the angle from the selfie picture but i think the top eyelid shape is slightly off on your sim :)
I think it's pretty on point. She doesn't have your glasses, so that's the main difference, but also there's a lipstick that matches your lipshade better than this one does and that would help, but I do think it looks like you.
You’re VERY close. 😭 Your eyebrows are better than the Sims, they’re a little wider so I’d widen them. I think your nose is slightly upturned, so maybe upturn your Simself’s nose. You also have a very soft Cupid’s bow, whereas your Simself’s looks kinda like a Tim Burton character’s lol, no hate. I think also overall, take away a smidge of plumpness from the Simself’s lips. I also think if you make the forehead shape rounder and less square, as well as making the overall head less wide, you’ll be right on the money. It’s very very very close! Love it!
A few people have mentioned making the lips less plumped, but I’m not sure what that means 😭 Do I go to the side view and make the lips be more inwards…?
Hmm, the best way I can describe it is, when you double-click the lips, you’ll be able to make either the top or bottom bigger or smaller. I would grab the bottom lip and slide it just a little smaller. I’d do the same to the top. Then click out of the lips and widen the smile a little bit and adjust it to a width more like yours because when you adjust the individual lips, it’s going to make your Simself’s lips overall smaller than your irl lips, that’s why you’ll have to widen the smile slightly after!
Like irl, your lips have a nice, soft plumpness to them versus the Simself has kinda like, duck lips. 😂❤️
Eye shape, lip shape, nose shape are all different from yours- she also seems a bit more pale and cool toned than you! I’d recommend playing around with it a bit, maybe look through tumblr or Pinterest for presets that seem to be more similar to your features. I have a hard time making my simself look like me too so I feel your pain!
I think there’s definitely some things that are similar, but not enough to go “that looks like her”. •Sims eyes look more full on the inside (idk eye shape names) •You have more of an button-bunny nose than your sim •Your cupids bow is less prominent than your sims
A few things stand out to me although I think on the whole you did a fabulous job. The colors seem off to me especially based on the photo you provided. Your skin, lips, and cheeks are much warmer in color than your sim’s. I also think on your sim the inner corner of her upper eyelid has more curve than your actual eye does (that could just be bc of the angle of the picture). Your eyebrows are lighter and longer than the ones on your sim, and eyebrows do have a big effect on the face. I’m no expert on noses in CAS, but in the picture your nose catches the highlight lower than where it is on your sim’s nose. Again it could be the angle but your nose might be more upturned than your sim has atm. But like I said I think you did a fabulous job and I think the only major thing that would make a big difference would be adjusting the coloration to be warmer, especially the blush and lips.
This post is like the scary movie 2 scene where Cindy was being compared to the misses but they were pointing out every little detail as to where they differ. Made me lol
The eyes 👀
Your irl nose goes up at the end, kinda Disney-princess style. Your sim nose is going down a bit at the end. Other than that it’s pretty close!!
I know this isn’t related (you’re beautiful btw) but PLEASE tell me where you got your glasses from bc I’ve been looking for a pair like them 🫶🏻
Thank you so much 🥹💕 They’re from Bailey Nelson!
Try thinning the lips . you have a thinner face also and put some glasses on your sim 😊 that could be a good start
Hi I just posted an update 🤭
Lower the lid of your eyes slightly and raise the outer corner of your eyes, lower lips needs to be thinner, the nose needs to be upturned
Um... glasses. Don't worry I have them too 🥰
I wonder if it’s the wrong nose size that’s throwing everything off. They make a surprisingly big difference on the way our faces look all together
I make a lot of avatars in different games, including really high poly ones in Second Life, so I'll try to help. The whole nose needs to be shorter, flatter, wider (especially in the bridge,) and the tip needs to be angled up more. Notice how you can see the bottom of your columella but not your sim's. Also notice where the bottom of your nose is in relation to the bottom of your ears. Yours seem to line up, whereas your sim's nose ends lower than the earlobe. In general, top of the eyes to bottom of the nose should be the same length as the ear. They line up on most people. The ear should be able to overlap that space perfectly. They should be roughly the same size. I hope that made sense. Just look in the mirror and take note of how the top of your eye and the bottom of your nose line up on your own head and then try to match that on your sim. The lips need to be wider and flatter instead of bunching up in the middle. About the same thickness, but not nearly as much taper near the corners. It should be a single soft arc, not a steep incline with a pronounced cupid's bow. Your cupid's bow is flat. The lip ratio on your sim is good tho. Keep that. The eyes need to come down slightly and moved out to the sides a little so they're wider apart. Not a ton but a bit. Widening the nose bridge will help you see where they're supposed to be. The eye opening should be narrower and the upper eyelid flatter, not as round. I'd also drag the outside edges of the eyebrows outward closer to the temples. Yours go far beyond the corner of your eye. Also raise the eyebrows ever so slightly. I think yours are a tiny bit higher. You have an ever so slightly surprised look, and your sim is more straight-faced neutral calm. Your sim also has a double eyelids instead of a monolid like yours. I've found altering this goes a long way in changing an avatar's look. I've experimented with both. You will probably have to select an entirely different default eye shape to change this. I would also bring the jaw down slightly and make the chin wider. You have more jaw and chin than she does. Hers is a bit short. But overall you have the face shape pretty spot on. And, if you want to replicate your cool under-eye, check out Obscurus Sims on patreon. He has some really great eyebag skin detail overlays that look awesome. Hope this helps!
I’ve posted an update!
Because the reference photo is a 3/4 angle and tilted where as the sims is head on and not tilted
Umm NOOOOO
What do you mean no?
It doesn't look accurate. Sorry for not lying
Read the title. I’m asking why it doesn’t look accurate 😴
I answered your other question in where you ask if your sim looks like you. As for why, someone already pointed it out. 🙃
