What, in Heaven's name, is up with traits?! Scary Pic included
Fubuki:
I may be wrong, but I don't think she was calling you mean-spirited, OpiumGirl. She said it reminds her of mean-spirited, shallow people in real life. I think I know where she's coming from.
It seems to me that we judge females more harshly than males when it comes to physical appearance, and we're so conditioned to it that we don't even notice this glaring double standard. People continue to point out "fugly" girls and women in TS3, but so far I have yet to see one person complain about the looks of the guys. It reminds me of high school when everyone seemed to think that ugly was the worst possible insult you could throw at a girl; apparently, I was the only one who thought that stupid and boring were far worse.
Even in a virtual world, women are under constant visual scrutiny. I find that just a little unsettling.
OpiumGirl:
I promise you, I already have seen about ten fuglified male sims in a few days of seeking out Sims 3 dls. I could re-find and post, though I think it's best to leave that one alone..I request, humbly that you take my word for it. It was the order of my creation that caused it to rest on the poor lady.
But, I am not discrediting what you've said about women having to meet a much higher standard in real life. It is absolutely true.
Blech:

By the third generation of my game, the males at my teen female's high school were so OMFG FUgly, I changed her whole story and made her a lesbo.
dorquemada:
I don't know how you people even tell ugly from pretty in TS3, because they all fucking look the same. Some of the default families do have a few distinctive specimen, and yet, adult Mortimer Goth looks a lot like that bitchy kid-hating guy who lives in the posh mansion on the seaside. It's really hard to breed the bastards when a daughter is almost exact copy of a mother.
Faizah:
I'm not seeing the same-ness. Maybe in the pre-mades, but born in game sims look different enough to me. For example, here's a set of triplets shortly after becoming teens:
The middle one most closely resembles the made-in-CAS father, so any oddness there is not the game's fault, exactly. (Though that blasted smiling made the mouth rather difficult.)
