Just because I needed a vampire who is strong like a half-god
Even if my simversion is not perfect, he looks fine enough to keep him in my game

Some pictures seems the same, but they are not - I just couldn't decide which one shows him better.
I think, there’s a glitch in the CAS - it happened the 2nd time when I edited the eyebrows: it was nearly perfect, and I wanted to edit just a little bit of it, then it suddenly dropped low, lost all shape I created before.
The back arrow didn’t work, and when I wanted to re-do the eyebrows, the tool didn’t work at all.
After some desperate try it started to work again, although I was already on the line to pull my hairs, that it ruined everything.
I think, the previous eyebrows-shape was better, but worried to force it more, and saved it before anything happens again.
I’m truly impressed, that no matter which sim I start, we are able to create whatever we’d like. Of course it could help a lot if you start with a similar face-shape, but it really doesn’t count.
I always think of Spore with this tool, they are so similar, and wouldn’t be surprised if the base would be the same.
I hesitated, who to create of all the favourite actors/actresses, but when I entered CAS, I got a random sim who wore a light blue top and it reminded me of the jersey of my favourite soccer-player’s country.
So if you like soccer and/or watched the World Cup and/or Real Madrid, you will find out who is he seing this picture.
Some details would be better on his face, but the tool didn’t let me pull the eyes closer for example, or create his nose exactly, etc - but overall I think he looks similar enough to recognise.

… and just for fun - this is the sim I started to work with - this is the first time I got a real random sim, not from the Maxis-pre-made ones when I opened CAS:
I was curious where it will lead if I always use the next sim to create sisters/brothers with the genetic-tool.
The genetics-tool works better than in sims3, there are less deformed sims like in sims3, but of course they all needed more or less editing, especially male-sims.
I forgot to take screenshots before editing them, but I went back to CAS to try to re-do the line with the genetics-tool, so these pre-made pictures shows nearly the same effect where I started the first time. The only sim I was unable to re-create something similar is Lisa, so probably I was really lucky to get her the first time.)
So as usually I started with the first sim the CAS offered.
I started to create Gladys from Maxis pre-made Cassidy Purdue:
Gladys - after editing Cassidy:
Then I created a sister for her: Amanda.
I didn’t used the twin-option, but I got a very similar face, so actually I had to edit Amanda to look a bit different.
Some days ago I tried to create a twin of a sim, and the 2 sims were still different a bit, similar like the result now - so now I'm not sure if the twin option works as intended.
Amanda pre-editing:
Amanda:
Then I choosed Amanda to create her brother - Peter.
This was the ‘weak part’ similar like in Sims3, because the gender-change worked fine only in Sims2, and it’s still not the best with Sims4.
I got a truly rectangle head for Peter, and his face was weird. After removing the big beard he got randomly, I found that he shows a bit similarity to his sister, but not the fine way - lol. I had to make the most and hardest editing on him, although I tried to keep the similarity with his sisters.
Peter before editing - with beard.... and without it.... lol and OMG - the beard really hide a lot :D
Peter after editing:
Then I choosed Peter to create a sister - Lisa.
The less editing needed on her of the 4 sims, I made only a fine tuning, because I really liked the face I got, so I can say, the male to female change went better than reverse.
I think, they all look similar, but also different, like real brothers/sisters.
And I think most of the make-up we have are useless! There are a few eyeshadows which are useable with shape and colours, but eyeliners, blush, and lipsticks… no comment, and actually sometimes ‘no using’ at all, as you can see on my sims.
And mentioning the Purdue-family - this is Steve I created editing Ollie Purdue - and actually my previously posted Mark was created using Ollie too.
Maxis pre-made Ollie:
Steve:
I couldn't decide which make-up I like the better on her, so here are all 3 I used.
Slideshow for my Sims4-creations
My first try was a female, but probably because I was very tired, I didn't experienced most of the features, so I will work on this sim more later, but today with fresh eyes I created a male-sim, and I'm pretty delightened with the result, and I even didn't used the Detail Edit Mode on him. And at the moment I think, creating a decent male sim was easier than a female.
I tried to take pictures from different angles and facial mimicry.
Showcase-link for the larger pictures.
I will try to update this blog about my experiences with the Sims4 CAS-Demo later - if anyone interested, but first I'd like to go back to the female-sim.
