Thank you so much for the advice! If I could send pictures on TH-cam, I would HAVE to show how good this actually looks! You’re awesome, ma’am! Have a blessed day/afternoon/night! ❤
One thing I always do for my Sims is play with the eyes- usually make them smaller, and move them down or outward.. detail edit mode is great if you're going for a very particular eye shape, but even just rotating the eyes to slant in or out changes the look of a Sim completely.
I sometimes add one of the Mac blushes in a pink or reddish tone, especially on really pale sims, for swimwear and occasionally hot weather. I don’t make it too obvious, only low opacity. It gives the impression that the sim is especially warm in the summer heat or slightly sunburned.
I use cc for this, but I do the same for Hot Weather and Cold Weather. I will do different blush shapes, as well. Cold is purple-y, more on the nose and under the eyes, while Hot is more like the EA blush in this video, and red (obviously low opacity)
One tip I have is there’s a certain eyeshadow from get to work that’s under the eyes, if you use the blue shade, turn down the brightness all the way (depending on skintone of course but mostly all the way) and then lower the opacity it makes it look like your sim is super tired, as if they have bags under their eyes, or the opposite effect if you use it correctly
I'm so bored of saying this in the comments, but by "avoid unnatural colours" I mean the bad oversaturated EA swatches that are meant to be blond, brown and ginger. Ofc if you want to make a sim with dyed hair you can, you don't need me to tell you that. 🙃
@JCYT I always meme and say spot the American, but *most* Americans somehow seem to not realise they're ones who *technically* spell things incorrectly to seem like quirky individuals to break away from the English way of spelling. :) FYI it's colour :P
For makeup, I like to use the lipstick that's kind of two-toned (?). Not the one that has different upper and power lips, but the one that has a different inner color. I adjust the colors to match the skin nicely and then it looks pretty realistic and can work on masc and fem characters. I also use the most natural blush, eyeshadow, and eyeliner on both masc and fem characters for details and life :)
Something I do (you need the get to work pack tho) is there is an eyeshadow that goes only on the under eyes. If you choose the purple shade and tone the saturation down a bit it looks like eye bags!!
I always use parts of "invisible" makeup mixed with real makeup (like color eyeshadow, eyeliner), makeup does make a sim look more interesting even when you can't tell they have makeup
Yeah practice and experiment. Don't let you get stuck in the same old same old. Have fun! If it feels like I'm not happy with the sim I'm working with, I usually make another sim to go ham on and make something ridiculus. Then I'll go back to the first sim and see it with new eyes. And if that doesn't work I can put the sim totally aside for awhile, save it to the library, forget about them, and later someday I'll find them again and I see them with Totally new eyes. And maybe I realise then that this sim wasn't so great as I thought and will just delete it. And sometimes I see something about them that gives me inspiration. Something my art teacher always said was "kill your darlings", if you're too attatched to a piece but at the same time can't find a way to improve it, trash it. Sounds scary. In sims it can translate to, maybe, I worked alot at the sims nose, really put alot of time on it, but everything I do the sim doesn't look like I want. If I reset the nose, even if I worked so hard on it and don't want to change it, everything will probably flow much better. This got long, I'm sorry about that, I got carried away. And sorry if it's confusing, my english aint the best.
Ayeee I do that too. My guy sims often have the blush from get to work that has a sharp line at the top. I darken the orange shade and lower the opacity to look good on their skin tone and I also add the highlighter in the face paint section :D I just love how it turns out!! I also give them a low opacity lipstick often and short cc eyelashes!
I don't have the patience to adjust the make-up PER outfit. Heck, I specifically choose make-up either on the top or bottom of the list to find them easily😂. I wish you could just copy paste them on every outfit without having to manually adjust them one by one.
I did this and my sims looks wayy better than before. I took my time last night getting in the right details for my Sims and I love the way it turned out. Before they looked like one of those horrific cartoon characters...
The problem for me is that I spend so long giving my Sims "natural" makeup (to make it look like they don't have makeup, just to brighten their looks), but then you can't copy and paste it for each look so, by the time I get to cold weather I'm just like f**k it their face ain't that different anyway 😂😂😭😭 great tips, I just wish I had the patience!
Oh my god when it went back to the start it was a jumpscare! Good job, seriously impressive! I don’t use ccs and this is actually really useful, thank you
I ran into this short on home page and I was sure from the title it's one by SatchOnSims but I'm glad to get a REAL tutorial and not a sarcastic one 😂 p.s also love Satch
The suncream in white or pale pink is brilliant for adding natural highlight when the opacity is turned down. I also use the glossy Mac lipstick opacity turned down in a pink to add colour to the sims mousth
My other favourite tip is to always pull the corners of the lips down in full detail edit mode, it looks SO much more realistic and less “fake smile” !
Yess I use so much alpha cc but I still use base game makeup to help make natural pigmentation around the eyes, cheeks, etc for sims that don’t wear makeup, it really helps them look more natural
I'm pleasantly surprised! The classic custom content created sims aren't my taste, they look too perfect to me. But I really like the look of your Sim and they fit into the sims world perfectly too!
how is it even possible to go from the good Sims 3 hair where you had a wide spectrum of color AND more natural looking hair to creating THIS... like.... how and why
Also with makeup don’t make it so saturated I normally do a dark brown for the eyeliner and eyeshadow I do a super translucent red to give color around the eyes
Me when my sims wear makeup I finish the makeup with the highlighter in the face paint section it really finishes the look and sometimes i use it for bronzer too! I didn't know about it until April this year
Love this advice!! Could you make a video on how to make realistic/different outfits for sims? I have an issue with constantly giving my sims the same clothes and never know how to give them a unique style :(
So since your lips aren’t only one solid color i like to use the lipstick that has some darker in the middle and lighter on the outside, it looks really natural and I use it even for people who don’t wear makeup
I used a 'hack' since I was a kid on making attractive looking sims. I previously also didn't use mods, so I had to work with default everything as well. I would first put them in elderly lifestage. I would try to make the elder look as nice looking as I could. After I'm satisfied, I would return the sim to adult (or whichever state) and I would be happy with my result in majority of cases.

Finally one that isn’t sarcastic!! Thank you
“Your sims are so ugly”
satchonsims cursed content best
What have you found? 😂
Fr😭
Naw we need the eyeball ring
I still don't understand why the Sims team didn't make actual lashes in the first place.
Yes! In sims 3 there were beautiful lashes, you could even choose the lenght…
@@laaciatathe sims 4 seems to be a huge downgrade in many aspects :c
i agree sims 3 seem more realistic, ts4 has futuristic vibe.
it’s bc it’s stylized.. i understand how in many aspects ts4 is a downgrade from ts3 but let’s be fr here, compared to ts4 - ts3 is fucken ugly
@@clown-catTS3 was a product of its time. TS4 has ugly eyelashes if we’re being truly honest, and it’s a current game

Totally agree!
i do the exact same thing!! make the small eyes bigger and big eyes smaller and i always have to move the eyes down and out!
Came to the comments to say exactly this. Making the eyes smaller is an instant improvement
agreed! changing the iris size is usually the game changer for me
Absolutely!!! A lot of my Sims' eyes are smaller though
just found out those black rings are eyelashes and not permanent eyeliner omg 😭😭
That’s why I refuse to not use cc 😃
Same 😂
😂😂
I had no clue. Blew my mind 🤯
literally
the video restarting and seeing her original look was like a jump scare 😭
😂
I sometimes add one of the Mac blushes in a pink or reddish tone, especially on really pale sims, for swimwear and occasionally hot weather. I don’t make it too obvious, only low opacity. It gives the impression that the sim is especially warm in the summer heat or slightly sunburned.
I do something similar for cold weather, different blush, to enhance the look of being wind blown in the cold.
I use cc for this, but I do the same for Hot Weather and Cold Weather. I will do different blush shapes, as well. Cold is purple-y, more on the nose and under the eyes, while Hot is more like the EA blush in this video, and red (obviously low opacity)
Ooh which one?@@torakfett3351
ohh thats smart!
I just let my Sims go tanning and get slightly tan from that
One tip I have is there’s a certain eyeshadow from get to work that’s under the eyes, if you use the blue shade, turn down the brightness all the way (depending on skintone of course but mostly all the way) and then lower the opacity it makes it look like your sim is super tired, as if they have bags under their eyes, or the opposite effect if you use it correctly
Helpful! Thanks!!
This makes me want to buy Get to Work, haha
@@torakfett3351 np!
or use the orange shade and low opacity and it just makes the eyes more red but in a good way
BABS HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER 😍
I’ve found that the Mac blushes can add a lot of definition to sims’ faces
I'm so bored of saying this in the comments, but by "avoid unnatural colours" I mean the bad oversaturated EA swatches that are meant to be blond, brown and ginger. Ofc if you want to make a sim with dyed hair you can, you don't need me to tell you that. 🙃
Incase anyone is still not getting this she means the cheese hair 😭
Lmfaooooooooo tell em!!!
@@msepiphqny CHEESE HAIR 😭✋🏻
@JCYT you just corrected the british way of spelling it with the american version.
@JCYT I always meme and say spot the American, but *most* Americans somehow seem to not realise they're ones who *technically* spell things incorrectly to seem like quirky individuals to break away from the English way of spelling. :)
FYI it's colour :P
i was expecting her to do a tutorial like satchonsim's 😂 but this is really helpful
Basic stuff that lots of people tends to forget or don't pay enough attention to : the side PROFILE!
geez how does she look so cute without cc? How is this even possible?!
for people who use console this is normal, u dont NEED cc if u know how to play into the sims advantages
i always pick the eyes w the biggest “eyelashes” 😭😭😭 it gives the sims quite a nice no makeup look
For makeup, I like to use the lipstick that's kind of two-toned (?). Not the one that has different upper and power lips, but the one that has a different inner color. I adjust the colors to match the skin nicely and then it looks pretty realistic and can work on masc and fem characters.
I also use the most natural blush, eyeshadow, and eyeliner on both masc and fem characters for details and life :)
This Sims face literally reminds me of my neighbors face 💀
Bright blue eyes can be realistic, I got them irl
Something I do (you need the get to work pack tho) is there is an eyeshadow that goes only on the under eyes. If you choose the purple shade and tone the saturation down a bit it looks like eye bags!!
I used that for concealer for my sims 😂😂 gives them the nice wide awake look
For the lips I love using the m.a.c collab swatches it gives the sims lips some colour that isn’t too powerful
I always use parts of "invisible" makeup mixed with real makeup (like color eyeshadow, eyeliner), makeup does make a sim look more interesting even when you can't tell they have makeup
Finally some real advice. Others are usually over sarcastic
what is common sense for some isnt for others so thats really cool you make these makeup tutorials and CAS tips because it makes a huge difference !
she’s so pretty! I wish I had a knack for making my sims look cute
The more you practice the better you'll get!
Yeah practice and experiment. Don't let you get stuck in the same old same old. Have fun!

@@sludgemaiden "kill your darlings" sounds kinda creepy, but yeah maybe it's not a bad tip
@@cricketandgraham8644 Out of context, yeah absolutely 😅
shrinking the eyes always helps!
Looks great! Definitely a lot more natural looking 👍
Thanks! 🥰
No weird gravity defying hair? How will I live?!?
Ikr what are we going to do???
Ayeee I do that too. My guy sims often have the blush from get to work that has a sharp line at the top. I darken the orange shade and lower the opacity to look good on their skin tone and I also add the highlighter in the face paint section :D
I just love how it turns out!!
I also give them a low opacity lipstick often and short cc eyelashes!
Ty for this and idk why but the sim reminds me of Regina gorge from mean girls❤😂
Only make the eyebrows one to two shades darker if they have LIGHT hair, if they have dark hair, eyebrows will be one to two shades lighter!!
Oooh nice, I never go to the face paint section, I'm going to have to look for that highlighter dealio.
Didn’t even know it was a thing, I’ll have to look around more too!
@@torakfett3351 I've used the highlighter quite a few times since!
I wish there was a slider for the hair still, that way the pink and all the other colors wasn’t so bright
I don't have the patience to adjust the make-up PER outfit. Heck, I specifically choose make-up either on the top or bottom of the list to find them easily😂.
I wish you could just copy paste them on every outfit without having to manually adjust them one by one.
Wow never knew about this, thanks!!! I didn't even know the highlighter existed lol I barely ever click the costume makeup section. XD
I use the faded mid lip one ( idk what to call it but most koreans use it in makeup ) and lower the opacity to give the inner lip a darker look!
i do that too lol, I thought I was the only one
Lol bot at all, i love doing it it makes it so textured because i have it on xbox and dont have cc
I prefer this kind of talent than people using the mods
Finally one that shows people about the highlighter face paint! I've used that on my sims that I've made on console so many times!
I always put some blush on and turn it down to “shade” them lol
I died my hair an unnatural color recently and also naturally always had lighter eyebrows.. this feels like an attack/j
I did this and my sims looks wayy better than before. I took my time last night getting in the right details for my Sims and I love the way it turned out.
Before they looked like one of those horrific cartoon characters...
This is so useful. Some people give up and dive head first into cc, but its really amazing to see what you can achieve with base game!
I always use that gradient lipstick
“wacky gravity defying shapes” - everything in the sims cas
😂
She looks like kelsey 😂❤
Dont forget to put on a bit of red blush for the winter outfit and make the lips redder
I was struggling on where to start but this helped me loads. Thank you!
i like bringing the smile down, using the corners of the mouth and sliding down. it looks more natural to me. no one is smiling 24/7 hahah
The problem for me is that I spend so long giving my Sims "natural" makeup (to make it look like they don't have makeup, just to brighten their looks), but then you can't copy and paste it for each look so, by the time I get to cold weather I'm just like f**k it their face ain't that different anyway 😂😂😭😭 great tips, I just wish I had the patience!
honestly the highlight in base game is a lifesaver it makes such a difference
Oh my god when it went back to the start it was a jumpscare! Good job, seriously impressive! I don’t use ccs and this is actually really useful, thank you
That reminds me of when I used that male eyeshadow look and made it look like eyebags just because
Now that is truly creative. I never even thought to do that .
yesss this is exactly what i do!!! lowered opacity makeup + that new highlight are lifesavers
"your eyebrows should be 1 or 2 shades darker than the hair" me with platinum blonde eyebrows and dishwasher blonde hair: 👁️👄👁️
I ran into this short on home page and I was sure from the title it's one by SatchOnSims but I'm glad to get a REAL tutorial and not a sarcastic one 😂 p.s also love Satch
I have found a new goal for every household because of this. Thank you!
I always use one of the fade lipsticks on super low opacity so Mt sims don't have dead lips lol
The jumpscare when the video loops back to the before, oh gosh 😭😅
The suncream in white or pale pink is brilliant for adding natural highlight when the opacity is turned down. I also use the glossy Mac lipstick opacity turned down in a pink to add colour to the sims mousth
Haha I was actually expecting to be trolled
My other favourite tip is to always pull the corners of the lips down in full detail edit mode, it looks SO much more realistic and less “fake smile” !
thank you so much. im scared to download cc because i dont want any viruses this really helped.
Yess I use so much alpha cc but I still use base game makeup to help make natural pigmentation around the eyes, cheeks, etc for sims that don’t wear makeup, it really helps them look more natural
I'm pleasantly surprised! The classic custom content created sims aren't my taste, they look too perfect to me.
But I really like the look of your Sim and they fit into the sims world perfectly too!
I was so scared it was a fake tut. She looks so good!!
So pretty
And if you use that green blush from get to work in the brown shade, and adjust it with sliders to your sim's skin tone, you get contouring
I had no idea about the highlighter because I never look at the face paint! 😂
This is exactly how I make my sims too, literally every step! 🔥
I don't use CC and I still have a lot of fun, honestly, my sims usually come out pretty simple but they look very cute
Looks fantastic ! Thank you very much 😊
Darker eyebrows? That’s interesting, and it does look good. Just for me my eyebrows are lighter. Thanks for the tips!
I appreciate this so much 😭
I play on PS4 with only base game (0 packs,kits,etc), and this is very helpful.
I would also say to widen the nose a bit and also check the side profile. Helps make sims look a bit realer
how is it even possible to go from the good Sims 3 hair where you had a wide spectrum of color AND more natural looking hair to creating THIS... like.... how and why
Also with makeup don’t make it so saturated I normally do a dark brown for the eyeliner and eyeshadow I do a super translucent red to give color around the eyes

Loved it all. Post more!!!
So since your lips aren’t only one solid color i like to use the lipstick that has some darker in the middle and lighter on the outside, it looks really natural and I use it even for people who don’t wear makeup
omg i never knew about the highlighter !
I always do this since i am a Playstation player rip
Great ideas 💡 thank you! ❤
I've been saying I have to downsize my CC (actually the whole mods folder lol) and now I see this. Thank you for the encouragement 😅 Subscribed 😊
If I could only have 1 piece of cc it would be kijiko eyelashes. Seriously they are so worth it. The sim looks immediately 1000 times better
this is very helpful, thank you!
This is so amazing!! I’m so motivated now lol
I used a 'hack' since I was a kid on making attractive looking sims. I previously also didn't use mods, so I had to work with default everything as well.

bro until recently i thought those eyelashes were actually built-in eyeliner 😭
This is so helpful, thanks! ❤
Love this so much!
They are turned out soooo good 😍
First of all… she made one sim. Just one. So there’s no “they” to turn out good (or not).
Secondly… they’re??? They ARE turned out so good??? 🤮
