What, in Heaven's name, is up with traits?! Scary Pic included
Zazazu:
She's pixels. *shrug* I don't see the point in harping over her, probably because it reminds me of what mean-spirited and shallow people do in real life. I prefer to pick on sims for their stupid names, or for their poor fashion sense.
purplehaze:
In all fairness, you chose the most unflattering picture of her in the lineup. She's actually quite attractive in the other pics.

Can't tell you how much I agree with this. I know that these are not real people we are judging, but it still seems sad to me that our society focuses so much on superficial details. Some of these Sims may not be perfect but I honestly think people are getting a little bit out of hand with their criticisms. I have found in general that the Sims we have in TS3 are pretty good looking. Were people expecting every randomly generated CAS Sim to look like a super model or something?
And I think it is much more likely than some people here realize for two beautiful parents to have an "average" or even below average looking child, and vice versa.

Our society has been trained for a few generations to judge people on their looks, so you honestly can't expect everyone to be able to discard their life's programming. It took me years to realize that judging people by their looks is a bad idea. In a game where we can control everything that happens, it's easy to understand some peoples' dislike towards aesthetically displeasing Sims.
Personally, I like having some fugly puddings in the game. It allows me to recoil in horror at the EAxis' ability to create the next Fugliest Pudding Ever.
Now, on the example recently added, she looks like a genetically deficient Cameron Diaz with a hint of young Demi Moore. I find her personally repulsive and possible useful to breeding some less desireable traits out of my gene pools.
I like to think fuglies like her are great to have, much like a pure breed dog. The pure breeds have several flaws that come with the breed. A good example is heart problems with a Great Danes. When you make a mutt out of the pure breed, you have something called hyrbid vigor. You get the best traits out of each parent. So cross a Dane with say, a Mastiff. You take the heart problems out, you balance the hip problems, but the down side is you have a weird looking dog.
Much with these Sims, save for the problems. Their problem is that they're fugly. Cross them with another fugly and you should run a pretty good risk of getting a semi-attractive or less-fugly-than-their-parents Sim. You would hope, but I know this isn't the case 100% of the time. It's just nice of having that option seeing as nothing but attractive Sims have produced some pretty scary shit.
OpiumGirl:
Please remember that I've said, more than once that I don't mind fugly sims in my game! No one is judging anyone. As I also said, I just want normal looking sims to have normal looking offspring. The problem with that sim is that she is classified by a few as "gorgeous" and, that's just, well, retarded as some here might say!
Mean-spirited? Here on this forum? Never thought I'd hear that from any member who has survived so long here. I have seen some of the most hideous forms of meanness known to man right here. :D
All of the other pictures of her are just as scary. I picked that image because it was the preview. I can't imagine the creator would have picked the worst (as someone called it) pic as the main one. ::) Not on purpose, anyway. But, since it's becoming more than a joke and politics are poppin' up, I'm going to remove the pixelated scary lady. (maybe)
I can't even begin to think that someone considers this too mean-spirited here of all places. Never, never did I think, especially a long-standing member. Perhaps you're a creator and are sensitive but I'd think that being called a tard would make a person feel pretty bad!
Not much worse than a joke about a scary sim.
I know there are lots of cats that are snickering behind their computer screens but who will not dare speak up for what is truly fugly. *cough*
