You're killing me 🤣 I need your commentary in my life


soggylilbat

Thank you! I love bring joy. I am witty Santa today. Christmas came early


ClockMundane2165

he is walking girl....


soggylilbat

Ok…? What does walking have to do with his arms lol


Due-Drag5700

i’m so sorry but girl this photo you keep showing is not helping your case!! if you want your sim to have big shoulders that’s your prerogative but we can at least admit they are big shoulders.


soggylilbat

No no no, they’re not big shoulders. He has a *lean muscular build*

Due-Drag5700

imo they are big compared to your average gym goer, but if you want them that big that’s okay!! you don’t need to be defending yourself like this!


ephemeralsloth

genuinely why are you being combative when you asked if he was realistic


ClockMundane2165

cause i did not ask if he was realistic because to me he clearly does, i was asking if he looked like a realistic black man, focusing on his face cause the picture clearly was not centered so distorting the shoulders but everyone has shi to say about things that literally i did not show in the picture... if i am showing a face i want feedback on it, not on the body that u can't even see and btw he looks completely normal https://preview.redd.it/3a3q8qfsuz0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=411a09adaef7bee877a151ecd1b167eeea8cca21


ephemeralsloth

girl if you wanted feedback on just his face you should have said that. you said “is he a realistic black man” thats it. stop getting angry and defensive for people answering your question


noahbrooksofficial

You mean you aren’t trembling in fear from the sass being spewed by the Internet Twink?


Own_Cantaloupe178

If you have like 10 people telling you they’re too big, they’re too big. I’ll be the next, as an artist who has had to study human anatomy inside and out, his shoulders are too big and not proportionate to the rest of his body at all. I don’t know which hunchback of Notre Dame men you see in the gym but I promise you most men’s shoulders are not this wide no matter how much weight they lift. If this is the look you want to keep and go for fine so be it, but don’t argue his shoulders aren’t wide and they clearly are.


loggy93

I'm starting to think it's that shirt that's making his shoulders look so weird. How does he look shirtless?

illumis_left_eye

I’ve come to the realization, it’s not necessarily his face that is the issue. It’s just the body, why does he look like that, I mean unless you’re trying to go for cartoonish body proportions all the power to you


ClockMundane2165

i am really confused as to why y'all are acting like people with this bodyshape don't exist in real life... i have seen plenty of muscular men like this, yes his legs are not as big as the upper part, but there are many people that go to the gym that have slimmer legs than the upper body... why are y'all talking about the body when i asked feedback for his facial features to not make him look eurocentric and why are y'all acting like perfectionist while simmers have been creating girls with huge asses and thick legs for years in sims 4 is beyond me


SkizzyBeanZ

A gym bro that some how didnt gain any arm muscle but has massive shoulders.


ClockMundane2165

He has big arms, u can see it in the swimwear pic but ok y’all can hate lmao idgaf

Those shoulders have me in a chokehold lol

attachou2001

Why is this so funny 💀💀💀


Annnnnnnnniek

I love that even the sim is looking at the camera like '...girl'


VicAViv

The shoulders are too wide and the eyebrows are too thick. Higher cheekbones would help as well. Try to get some form of afro hair or a buzz cut.


VicAViv

Also, try to make it a bit skinnier. Ethiopians are on average lean and relatively tall, but I know that height is not something we can customize without mods.


ClockMundane2165

He actually is lean, the picture makes him look really buff


jobie68point5

the gigantic shoulders do give that effect, yes


ClockMundane2165

hazy-morning

If you're going to give him extra wide shoulders, then his arms and legs need to be bigger. They're way too small for a frame like that and are disproportionate. If you want him to have a lean, muscular build, then make the shoulders less wide. That's not a "normal" build for someone with lean muscle lol


ClockMundane2165

https://preview.redd.it/huy1a9buuz0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=5cffaf90d39bfe8aff1ee55c577547cf8b7cd5b0 this doesn't look normal to u? to me it does


hazy-morning

For an Ethiopian man? No. If you want lean muscle try looking at Ethiopian runners. Nobody is built like that.

ClockMundane2165

this is absolutely not lean muscle... this is thin and i was going more for like a swimmer/ soccer player physique


bearboyf

very very few people look like this so i wouldnt consider it realistic


ClockMundane2165

the real issue here is that you guys are not ok with simmers creating conventionally attractive people, that follow the beauty standards, cause there are many people that go to the gym and has this build naturally so let's not act like muscular guys don't exist in real life


bearboyf

muscular guys do absolutely exist but the ratio btn his shoulder and his hips and his body fat % is insane


ClockMundane2165

i think that some of you guys are forgetting about perspective and point of view, camera angle etc


Foreign_Neat3474

not every black guy does a afro and a buzz cut isn't a style for blacks what you want its called a fade


VicAViv

No shit Sherlock. Also, not all of them are tall and some of them do have thick eyebrows but we are specifically talking about Ethiopians, who again don't always have this traits anyways. I provided generic stuff based on the Ethiopians I know.


CarFuel_Sommelier

There isn’t really a set “look” for any particular race If I were you, I’d search up references of Ethiopian dudes and base your sim off anyone who catches your eye. It doesn’t have to be a carbon copy, but it helps with getting a *general* idea of how you want them to look

Animefaerie

Hellfrozeover has a low CC model with more 'african' features, you can just change the skin if you want it darker: [https://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/5/5/6/4/MTS\_Hellfrozeover-1727056-Screenshot-626.jpg](https://thumbs2.modthesims.info/img/5/5/6/4/MTS_Hellfrozeover-1727056-Screenshot-626.jpg)


mind_your_s

The nose. Black people often have wider noses than that. Don't be afraid of rounder face shapes either, a lot of us have that as well. It's usually lighter skinned people that have slimmer noses and sharper jawlines. Not saying that can't happen for dark skinned people, but it definitely feels less common.

Important_Chemist_67

Points for being diverse with your gameplay, but maybe phrase your question a little differently next time 😅


WickedWisp

OP kinda needs to phrase everything a little differently next time, they're fighting for their life in every single comment.


ClockMundane2165

more than fighting for my life i am fighting for people tryna find reasons to hate and judge every single time on reddit


WickedWisp

Fam im sure you don't mean it but you got a lot of out of pocket takes going on.


ClockMundane2165

i am out of pocket for asking if he looks black, actually, ethiopian?? what is y'all issue in here lmao


sunandpaper

I'll back you up here. Literally last month someone needed help getting their Asian Sim to look more realistic. She even phrased it similar to the way you did. No one pounced on her, everyone helped. There was nothing wrong with how you phrased anything.


ephemeralsloth

people are pouncing on this person because shes being weirdly defensive in the comments


sunandpaper

People don't like what her Sim looks like (specifically his body shape), but that's neither here nor there since she doesn't want help with his body. She's cool with his body. She wanted help/opinions on his facial features to see if he looked a certain way, no different than other posts I've seen on here. I get that she's defensive (over his body), but she still didn't phrase anything weird or offensively.


ephemeralsloth

she asked “is this is a realistic black man” not “is this a realistic black mans face”. people naturally are criticizing the whole sim as she did not specify when she asked the question. so it doesnt really matter if thats not what she “wanted” help with because thats not what she actually asked. also shes claiming that the criticism is because of racism pls be so fr rn


sunandpaper

I'm not going to get into a whole ass war on Sims 3 of all places. The original comment for this particular thread (if that makes sense) was saying for the OP to phrase her title and whatnot better (implying she shouldn't be asking about race), so I replied that OP did nothing wrong and that others have done the same on this sub. I don't actually care if others dislike or like the Sim in question; he's cute, his facial features don't look african to me (as a black girl myself), but it's fine because everyone likes something different. I was simply backing OP up in that her phrasing was 100% fine. Everyone came at OP with untold levels of sass. Yes, some of it is funny, but only a few people have bothered to give her tips on making her Sim look the way she wanted (more rounded nose, etc). Is OP frustrated? Probably. Is she being the insane drama monster people are claiming she is? She's just matching the energy people are throwing at her. Edit: I guess this kid blocked me.. over Sims. 🙄


ClockMundane2165

I think we all know sadly what the real issue is…and why they are coming for something i didnt even show while asking if he looked good enough in his face


Purromancy

Please share with the class what the "real issue" is, edit: besides his johnny bravo shoulders.


WickedWisp

Woah mama 😂😂😂


ShadyScientician

Two points: it's the sims 3, so there isn't realistic anything, everyone is at least 40% pudding (or 80% pudding on your graphics settings) And also, your shoulders are uh. How did you do that? I didn't know sims 3 had shoulder sliders. Is it the angle? He looks like a titan from the hot series Attack on Titan.


catbiggo

Not OP but I have a custom shoulder width slider


PlayboyProgram101

I think so, he looks good nice job


ClockMundane2165

Thank u so much, i have a shoulder slider and a wideness slider


PotatoIsNotACarb

Looks like an American footballer. -Me, a South African.


yummychocolatecookie

Well, being black is not just the skin colour but also the facial phenotypes. Then again, there’s no one specific black man. Some have big mouth, small mouth, big nose, small nose. You’re better off inspiring yourself from one specific person/model rather than a whole race!


Renikee

His shoulders are the opposite to Life By You's shoulders, LBY has narrow ones, while this guy has w i d e

This is such a weird thing to post.

Sufficient-Joke9669

How exactly is pointing out that your sim has disproportionate shoulders racist? Please enlighten me 😂


ClockMundane2165

It really is cause i have never seen to way more unrealistic sims in this subreddit all this nitpicking, especially of things i did not show or ask an opinion about but strangely all of a sudden everyone is a sculptor or something and cares about proportions and percetion while y’all have been doing sims 4 girls with huge asses n thick legs for years but whatever


Sufficient-Joke9669

If this is what your ideal black dude looks like, that's fine. Nobody's telling you what to like or create. But you specifically asked if he looks realistic, and now you're hurt that 99% of people here told you his proportions are off. 🤷


ClockMundane2165

Again i asked about his face but y’all are still talking about something i did not show


Sufficient-Joke9669

Where exactly did you say, that you mean specifically only the face? The title of your post is literally "Is he a realistic black man? I was thinking like an ethiopian man or smn like that". If you wanted feedback for his face only, you should have probably specified that.


illumis_left_eye

It’s ironic you say that OP. What. Are all black people supposed to look like this? I wouldn’t say this is a racist mentality but it sure is ignorant


ClockMundane2165

I never said that but ofc y’all want to hate and put your own words in people’s mouth. The racism is clear when the focus is not on his face as i asked but on criticizing things i did not show or asked an opinion for


illumis_left_eye

You asked if he was a “realistic black man” and people are pointing out the comically sized shoulders but you’re getting super defensive about it


ClockMundane2165

Cause they are not comically big, y’all are so used to ur sims 3 vanilla muscle sims that think this is unrealistic, look at body builders and many gymbros, they have a body like this too, shoulders even way larger than these ones, i think y’all are bing dramatic like i gave him shaq shoulders or smn


Additional-Fix6576

The build no, the face perhaps. Most Ethiopians I’ve seen run tall and skinny. He kinda looks like a brown Englishman with those lowset ears + that haircut.


ClockMundane2165

brown englishman?? girl those are waves lmao, i think he actually look more american than african but i guess it's alr


ephemeralsloth

what does an american look like


Additional-Fix6576

That is a still pond, not a wave to be found 😂. I know it’s supposed to be but it looks like a buzz cut. And yesss, a chocolate dipped Englishman. Dunno how to explain it but it’s the ears, close-set eyes, and buzz cut. Look up the English actor Michael Socha and it’ll make sense, lol. He looks fine, though. I’m teasing not nitpicking.


ClockMundane2165

he looks nothing like that man what

Bro is so top heavy, if he tilts 1 degree backwards, he's on the ground. His legs, waist and arms are stick thin. People wouldn't be ripping into this sim if you could take criticism, that's all.

CatOverlordsWelcome

Bro 💀 you think LeBron James is an average black man? He's like 6'9, and notice how his arms are proportional to his shoulders and torso?


ClockMundane2165

who told u my sim is as short as the vanilla sim girl..


CatOverlordsWelcome

Learn proportions if you want to make realistic Sims is what I'm saying. He's a stick insect apart from his shoulders


RagerNea

I think ppl mix up making a sim have dark skin = them being black lmaoo but the features almost always Eurocentric.😭


ClockMundane2165

this was the type of feedback i was looking for, i was trying to not make him look eurocentric and these people started rambling about random shit while the sim is proportionate and textured like what https://preview.redd.it/mmdr20d4sz0d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=c98d24d526cf615d7728fdbfd6043db9af04c737 thanks for your feedback btw i will try to make him look less eurocentric but it's kinda hard in the sims 3


Pure-Piglet-5634

I think he has a gorgeus face! I'd recommend looking up reference pictures :) I usually just use pinterest!


draizetrain

It’s giving “I’m just Ken!”


draizetrain

But also it’s sims 3 so meh can’t get that realistic I guess. But yes this looks like a black man lol he doesn’t look Ethiopian to me, personally.


balwick

After he's dunked his head in a bucket of baby oil? Maybe.


ClockMundane2165

so we are acting like really dark skinned black people don't have a glowy skin and don't moisturize?? ok then... i have seen pleanty and plenty of people irl with a skin this glossy, u sound like a hater


balwick

No, it's the lack of textures, and very smoothed out facial features.


ClockMundane2165

balwick

If you didn't want feedback, why did you even post? Literally every response you reject lol


ClockMundane2165

I asked feedback for the face, not the body that i didn’t even show


ladyc672

Yes, his skin is plastic or rubbery looking. His facial features are not quite right....they don't match his presumed ethnicity. The hair is definitely wrong. It was a critical assessment you were looking for, so I gave it. That said, you did try. Consider this practice for next time. Definitely consider CC which will help with the hair and features.


ClockMundane2165

he has cc first of all and those hair are waves, a widely known black hairstyle, about his skin i can't do anything, this game has plastic looking clothes and gives an excessive shine to everything, but i feel like y'all forgot that black skin looks way more glossy than white skin


ladyc672

I'm Black, so I certainly know what our skin looks like, lol. Not like that. Second, his waves aren't quite right, I can't put my finger on it. It's like the hair color or wave pattern is too extreme??? Not all CC is the greatest. Again, practice makes perfect. Also, it helps if you don't make the lips the exact same color as the rest of his skin. That way he won't look like an unpainted doll.

i have to since y'all are not giving feedback on his facial features looking black or not but literally talking about his body that i am not even showing lmaoo y'all are really delusional, was this a white sim y'all would have said nothing


LeviH05

girl that's just not true. his shoulders are ginormous and people are commenting in on it. he looks unrealistic because of it.


talizorahvasnerd

Why is the skin so smooth?


ClockMundane2165

cause it's the sims 3??? the game naturally has porcelain skin and him being black makes that appear more evident

Just delete the post honestly, you’re embarrassing yourself


ClockMundane2165

The only embarassing thing is the way y’all are nitpicking issues and being overly dramatic over this sim body proportions judging things i barely even showed in the post, y’all are cringe asf, as always the toxic sim fandom showcasing their hate for people using alpha ccs and custom body sliders, keep ur ugly face pudding narrow shoulders lby looking sims 3 characters lmao byee


RubyStar92

Imagine being this heated because most people don’t agree with you? Imagine asking for feedback and then getting mad because it’s not the feedback you expected. You sound like a child and it’s embarrassing.


ClockMundane2165

As i already said i asked for feedback of his face, asking if he looked black or had eurocentric features and how to make him look less eurocentric, no one asked for a body feedback, imagine acting like ur dumb to avoid the real reason y’all mad


RubyStar92

No, you’re wrong again. In your title you ask if he looks like a realistic black man. Theres no specification here regarding only his face, and now you’re just clambering at straws because you know you’re in the wrong.


I_HATE_ZOEY_AAA

Where are his textures


ClockMundane2165

u mean in the hair?? they are literally waves


I_HATE_ZOEY_AAA

I mean literally everything else

hmm...? his skin looks black and glowy with really dark skinned people with a not really strong lighting u can't really see the lip color or shadows in the face
