Zoe lights up every room she enters. She's been passionate about dance since preschool, and her natural curiosity has led her to explore many difference dance forms and techniques. As a young Latinx woman, family and community are incredibly important to Zoe. She brings her values to life by volunteering as a youth dance teacher at a local community center. Someday, she may even manage to teach her boyfriend Jayden to dance as well!

I don't have a lot of opinions on her. She's pretty cute, but I didn't change her that much.

While Valeria spent her early years with her mother's family in Japan, she left with her mom and dad to travel the world for her father's research work when she was still young. They haven't stopped moving since! Thankfully, she's kept in contact with her best friend, Emiko Mori! Now that she's an adult, she needs to figure out what to do with her life: adventure, explore her father's Venezuelan heritage, or take on a new challenge?

I don't have nearly enough CC clothes with shoulder pads. Such a vibe? And it works on her. She looks like a lesbian who plays the drums in a punk-rock all-girl garage band. And she contrasts with Emiko Mori super well.

Tristen grew up an only child in Brindleton Bay. Despite being a quiet Sim, rural life never appealed to Tristen, so he moved to the city the first chance he got. Will his sarcastic wit shine through and help him make new friends despite being a loner? Who knows! But if not, a dog or cat are always an option… maybe even a roommate!

He looks like a demon hunter masquerading as a college professor. I can't really explain how, but he does.

Tommi never really liked the name 'Tomasina,' so she's been 'Tommi' as long as she can remember. She's a business professional with big dreams! Unfortunately, she keeps getting passed up for promotions (that Sydney Wright gets). It must be Sydney's quick wit and huge vocabulary! Will a friendship ever develop or is it all downhill from here?

It's odd that she's one of the only older sims that generates in CAS. I know she's a young adult in that case, but on Maxis's page, she an adult. She has such a sweet face and a professional wardrobe. Dark red looks so good on her.

With a quick wit and a huge vocabulary, Sydney is quietly competitive, focused, and ambitious. She works at one of the nation's premiere business firms, where she's been promoted twice in under two years. As an only child, Sydney craves the real conversation and deeper connection you get in one-on-one friendships. Ever loyal, with incredibly high standards, Sydney is slow to let people into her inner circle. Once there, you're a friend for life.

Another cute artsy hipster look. The short bangs work so well on her face. I love her.

Somewhere in an alternate dimension, a Steve Fogel exists that's a big-rig trucker. In this reality though, Steve has bigger career goals in mind… He dreams of being a space trucker, hauling cargo across the cosmos. It's this bold ambition that attracted his wife, June, to his side. With her healthy cooking, he will be spaceworthy in no time. As a natural goof, you may find him at a comedy club practicing his (harmless) one-liners on the crowd.

This man is a dad regardless of how many children he actually has. He just exudes dadness.

Sophia is a unique artist, as she's gifted with synesthesia. She's overwhelmed by colors as she walks through the world, which causes her to scurry home and put paint to canvas while images are still vivid in her mind. Though she tends to focus on her art in lieu of a social life, she still holds lingering feelings for Ollie Purdue, who she once had a brief fling with before he settled down.

She looks like an elementary school teacher. The blush I use doesn't work very well on these very pale sims, but other than that she's pretty cute.

For Sean, social norms are there to be broken. Of course, there isn't much to rebel against in the idyllic neighborhood of Willow Creek, so Sean resorts to… unconventional means… On weekends, he beats children at chess in the park (cheating, if necessary.) He once made out with an elder, just to freak out his mom. He loves to self quote himself; his favorite being, "I eat plaid for breakfast. Spikeburgers for lunch. No authority for dessert."

Probably the biggest improvement. I don't know who approved those muttonchops, but it was a mistake.

For Ross, everything needs to be clean, he doesn't like kids (aka germ-monsters), and he has a quick temper. That said, there was never a Sim who loved doing laundry quite as much, he's great around adults, and he doesn't let interpersonal-relationship problems fester! Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of his life is that spoiled Kierra Tilo won't stop messaging him, and his beloved Brent Hong doesn't know he exists. Such is life!

This sim has such a gentle demeanor that a big comfy pullover just complements perfectly. I know I keep using this facial hair, but I just really like it.

Oh Ollie… He's always been a bit of a dreamer in life. His family worried he was destined to be destitute, his artistic talents going unrecognized. It turned out, he simply needed his muse. While nursing a drink in The Blue Velvet Nightclub one evening, he locked eyes with Babs—his life was never the same again. A whirlwind romance with Babs led to marriage and fatherhood; Ollie would never be called a starving artist again!

I couldn't get his hair the right color. Part of me really wants to make it a dark chestnut brown, but I don't want to change the category of color for any of these makeovers.

Bold and dynamic, Noah is all about using photography & film to evoke emotion and get people talking. Both on and off set, he's happiest when he's calling the shots, or making people laugh. He will admit that he's maybe a little too obsessed with his Simstagram followers, but they've certainly helped expand his career. Witty, confident, and motivated by success, Noah can sometimes come across as having a little too much ego—but it's all in the name of his art.

He looks like a bitch.

Morgan is all-in, all the time. Driven by her life-long love of sport, Morgan believes life is meant to be lived, not spent behind a desk. She's always up for any adventure her friends suggest, and always pushes herself to do more. With her track and cross-country scholarships, she was always a top performing athlete at university. She's currently training for her first Iron Man competition, which means a lot of time in the pool and on a bike.

She was one of the first makeovers I did, but she's so cute I didn't feel like I needed to redo her. Her face really lends itself to softer, warmer colors. It didn't track that an athlete would were such heavy makeup during a run.

With a head for numbers, and a creative eye, Mia splits her time between freelance programmer and artist gigs. Being both a bit of an introvert, and a bit of a rebel, this independence suited her outlook in life. Mia has a unique way of attracting creative, high-energy friends like Noah, and her girlfriend Dela. They love her genuine, almost kid-like enthusiasm. She is the glue that bonds her social circles together.

I know it's weird that I completely changed her color scheme, but I think her skin tone pairs better with pink than green. I usually like to give sims differently colored eyebrows to imply dye, but I thought the blonde brows looked so much better on her specifically.

Marco is a painter who has never really known what he wants in life. What he does know is that he's happy with a brush in his hand and a cup of coffee at his side. More than anything he likes painting people. Wrinkley Sims, round Sims, youthful Sims, Sims with no hair, Sims with blue hair! He believes distinctions are what make Sims so beautiful, and he wants to capture every small detail.

He's pretty.

Some Sims dream of being a master chef, but not Li Loh. He wants to master the Art of Mixology. Dazzle patrons near and far with fantastical drinks, bizarre concoctions, and gift them with the art of his moves. He's spent years studying, traveled around the world experiencing the drinks of different cultures, and he's ready. Oh, he's ready.

I've never really been interested in this sim, but he's not bad.

Lacey's parents frequently tell her she needs to grow up. She's teetering on the brink between party girl and socialite, has distinctly different social groups in each category, and hasn't committed to either path yet. To keep this double life in check, she calls herself Stacey whenever she's attending a highbrow affair.

She looks like a teacher I used to have, but she was a really pretty teacher, so it's not a bad thing. I love the autumn-hipster look, and the hair is so good.

Kurt comes from an impressive lineage of lumberjacks. While forestry is in his blood, his real passion lies in apiculture (or Beekeeping)! Kurt loves his little bumblies. He even tried to make a shop selling bee products called Kurt's Bees–which didn't go over super well. As long as he's stuck in Granite Falls, he knows he will never get out of the family business, so Kurt is off on an adventure, beyond his comfort zone, to chase his dreams!

I love Burt's Bees products, so I appreciate the reference. They have great lip crayons. That aside, I'm not happy with how he turned out. I wanted him to be even more lumberjack.
