Poor Body Textures Outside of CAS

I tried HP skins....and no thank you. I think I'll just have to get used to TS3 looks till someone finds out how to make them look better
That bad, huh? Avoid the painted faces like the plague if they are anything like the ones that were so popular in Sims 2. Scary.
When you tried them out, did they look any different to you than the original (vanilla) ones? What was it that was worse in HPs, in your opinion?
I'm just wondering out of pure curiosity, what it is that seems to make them look worse.
I don't like not being able to actually view the contents of the mod package to check out what these skintones actually look like as textures.

Look at the difference in the angles of the lips and lower eye lids in the comparison shots. :o
No wonder I kept going back to CAS and reducing the lips..
What happens is that in real virtual life the sims have a neutral face, while in CAS they are smiling, if you make them look neutral in CAS, that's the effect you get in gameplay, once you set CAS to a neutral face you can see how really the lips will end looking like.

Just to make certain - I had all graphics turned up when I began my game but I still had to manually turn up the "Sims Quality" so that may be a factor as while my sims have some weird texture to a degree, they are not nearly as blotchy as the pic above.
Regarding the skin, I go back and forth on whether or not I like it. I think they did a very good job of making the male skins look as though there is an element of body hair on the arms and chest especially. The underarms are a little weird.
I'm having a bit of a difficult time with the lips still - another reason I want me some Awesomemod (trying to wait as long as possible for the mod's shininess to be fully polished) and sometimes the skins just aren't attractive.
Speaking of attractiveness, there's something that's been nagging me but is growing each day.
That is, the fact that when I play Sims2 - I'm especially good at making any teen females(and up) look downright physically beautiful, which makes me want to play that sim a lot more. I'm having a difficult time finding/creating beauty out of any born-in game sim. This, paired with Story Progression making my grown kids disappear, is really starting to affect my Sims3 love. Either I'm just not getting it yet or the makeup in Sims3 is lacking in it's ability to make a sim look better.

There's no reason not to go ahead and get Awesomemod. It won't destroy your game.

There is no point in "waiting" for it to be more polished. AwesomeMod is an ongoing development and will remain such, presumably, for the next 4-5 years.
